What does 'service' mean in a car?

1 Answers

service in a car is a maintenance reminder, commonly represented by a wrench-shaped maintenance light. 'Service' means repair, inspection, and maintenance. After a vehicle reaches a certain mileage, the owner should promptly replace the parts. When the car leaves the factory, the manufacturer sets a parameter; once the required mileage is reached, the word 'service' or a wrench icon will appear, reminding the owner that the car needs maintenance. The maintenance cycle for a car is every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers driven, with the factory-set cycle usually being slightly more than 8,000 kilometers. Steps to reset the maintenance light: 1. Insert the key, noting that it should only be inserted without turning it; 2. Hold the trip meter's side lever for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn on the power; 3. After 5 to 10 seconds, start the car, keeping the lever pressed throughout this process without releasing it.

Which cars have L4 autonomous driving?

L4 autonomous driving vehicles include the Model-3 and Model-S level. Here are the specific details: Model-3: The Model-3 does not use an aluminum body, so the body size will be reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on range. The Model-3 is expected to have a range of approximately 320 kilometers. Model-S level: The Tesla Model-S is a pure electric mid-to-large-sized car. Its exaggerated performance and abundant cutting-edge technology make it nearly unrivaled in the market. As a family car, although its rear seat space is not ideal, the seat comfort is quite good, and the trunk space is also decent.

What are the standards for China V vehicles?

The standards for China V vehicles are: Compared to the China IV standards, the new standards reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. The emission control level of China V standards is equivalent to the European Union's Euro 5 emission standards currently in effect. The sulfur content in China V standard gasoline, a key environmental indicator, is reduced to 10ppm. The implementation of China V standards significantly reduces vehicle pollutant emissions, with overall emissions from in-use vehicles decreasing by 10% to 15%. Additionally, the prohibition of artificially adding manganese-containing additives helps protect important automotive components and reduces environmental pollution.

What is the difference between blue and green license plates?

Green license plates and blue license plates differ in the following aspects: 1.

Color scheme: New energy passenger cars use gradient green, whereas new energy trucks use a yellow-green combination. 3. Digit count: Green plates contain 6 digits, while blue plates have 5 digits. 4. Technical features: Green plates employ advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies such as 2D barcodes and security background patterns, enhancing their anti-counterfeiting capabilities.

How to Solve Engine Carbon Deposit Faults?

Solutions for engine carbon deposit faults: 1. When driving at high speed, the engine's intake and exhaust volumes increase, which can expel some carbon deposits; 2. For manual transmission vehicles, increasing the RPM during gear shifts can help remove some carbon deposits; 3. Take the vehicle to a maintenance station for professional cleaning; 4. Avoid prolonged idling to prevent carbon buildup in the engine. The engine obtains energy by burning the air-fuel mixture, during which a very small amount of gasoline adheres to the throttle valve, intake manifold, valves, and combustion chamber, forming carbon deposits. Minor carbon buildup can cause issues like unstable idling, shaking, and difficulty starting, while severe cases may lead to engine knocking, stalling, or failure to start.

What was the emission standard in 2013?

Vehicles manufactured after July 1, 2013 were basically compliant with China IV emission standards, as this was the deadline for China III standard vehicle registration. Below are relevant details: 1. How to check emission standards: The simplest method is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which clearly indicates the standard on its back. Alternatively, you can check with the vehicle management office using the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy). 2. New vehicle emission standards: For new vehicles, you can find this information on the factory certificate of conformity. However, most vehicle certificates are kept at the vehicle management office. Therefore, when purchasing a new car, it's recommended to make a copy for your records to facilitate future reference of vehicle-related information.

Which cars have L3 autonomous driving?

Currently, the only car that can achieve L3 autonomous driving level is the all-new Audi A8. L3 autonomous driving level: The L3 autonomous driving level means that the car's automated system can both perform certain driving tasks and monitor the driving environment under certain conditions, but the driver must be ready to regain control of the vehicle. Autonomous driving is divided into levels, and L3 actually stands for Level-3, which is considered an intermediate level. Equipped with the zFAS computer platform: The Audi A8 is equipped with the zFAS computer platform, which processes real-time information from 12 ultrasonic sensors, along with four 360-degree cameras, four mid-range radars, one long-range radar, and a laser scanner, ensuring safe autonomous driving.
