JDM is the abbreviation for Japanese-domestic-market, referring to vehicles produced for the Japanese domestic market. Below is an introduction to JDM: 1. JDM vehicles have also penetrated other markets through international trade exchanges and the gray market; 2. JDM cars are subject to mandatory regulations by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA). Since the late 1970s, the maximum speed of produced cars could not exceed 180-190 km/h, and in 1988, it was further stipulated that engines must not exceed 280 horsepower. These regulations were primarily for safety considerations and were influenced by the emergence of street racers. The horsepower restriction was lifted in 2004, but the speed limit continues to affect the design and production of supercars. Many JDM vehicles' speedometers only display up to 180 km/h, although these cars can achieve higher speeds with minor modifications; 3. JDM vehicles often differ in appearance and configuration from other car series. For example, due to varying emission standards in different countries, Honda produces different versions of engines such as the B18C1, B16A, and K20A.

Why does the Baojun 730 suddenly light up the malfunction indicator lamp?

Baojun 730 suddenly lights up the malfunction indicator lamp because the car has a malfunction. Carbon deposit issue: Poor gasoline quality can lead to insufficient combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, causing the light to come on, and it is also prone to carbon deposits. The presence of carbon deposits in the intake tract and piston top can result in poor atomization, leading to insufficient combustion and triggering the light. ECU temperature correction issue: During cold starts, especially when the weather temperature drops sharply, the malfunction indicator lamp may light up due to the ECU's temperature correction. However, once the temperature stabilizes at a certain level without fluctuations, it will become relatively stable. Abnormal fuel supply pressure: Abnormal fuel supply pressure and faults in the intake pressure sensor can cause this issue. If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor's readings are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can lead to car shaking and insufficient power.

Where is the rearview mirror heating function located on the Song Pro?

The BYD Song Pro's rearview mirror heating switch is located in the center console button area, sharing the same switch with the defroster. Pressing this switch will simultaneously activate both the defroster and the rearview mirror heating. Method for rearview mirror heating: Turn on the rear window defroster switch to heat the rearview mirrors. The rearview mirror heating function ensures that the mirror surfaces remain clear when driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions by utilizing heating elements embedded behind the mirror glass. Working principle of rearview mirror heating: The working principle of electrically heated rearview mirrors is very simple and cost-effective. It involves installing heating pads (heating films) inside the mirror glass of both side mirrors. In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating pads rapidly warm up to a set temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. This effectively removes fog and frost from the mirror surfaces, providing significant convenience for the driver.
