It refers to the system that controls the engine start and stop. Here is more related information: How the start-stop system works: 1. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this time, the Start/Stop system automatically detects: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensor of the locking system shows zero; the electronic battery sensor shows there is enough energy for the next start. 2. After these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, and then can activate the "start-stop device" to quickly start the engine. In automatic transmission models, as soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine will automatically ignite immediately, and the driver can step on the accelerator to start, with the whole process remaining in D gear.

Should the Semi-Clutch State Be Maintained Throughout Subject Two?

Subject Two does not require maintaining the semi-clutch state throughout. Here are the details: 1. Clutch: Pressing the clutch is the first lesson in driving practice and the most fundamental skill for obtaining a C1 driver's license. To pass Subject Two and Subject Three successfully, one must learn how to control the clutch. The clutch primarily controls the separation and combination of power. Pressing it down separates the power, while lifting it combines the power. Press the clutch quickly and release it slowly. When pressing the clutch, ensure it's fully depressed, and when lifting the clutch pedal, do so slowly; otherwise, the car may stall. 2. Note: When the vehicle is moving normally and the clutch is in a fully engaged state, avoid pressing it unnecessarily when not shifting gears. During Subject Three, refrain from pressing the clutch arbitrarily or resting your foot on it. Place your left foot on the empty space to the left of the clutch pedal. The vehicle's clutch should only be used when starting the car, shifting gears, and braking.

Which National Emission Standard Vehicles Have Three-Way Catalytic Converters?

Regardless of the national emission standard, all vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. This is because newly manufactured cars must now meet the Euro 3 emission standards, so they all have three-way catalytic converters. Here is some additional information: 1. Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The automotive three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the vehicle's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the three main harmful substances in the exhaust into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter. 2. Working Principle: When high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the purifying agents in the three-way catalytic converter enhance the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, promoting certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. CO oxidizes at high temperatures to form colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas; HC compounds oxidize at high temperatures into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide; and NOx is reduced into nitrogen and oxygen. The three harmful gases are transformed into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust.

Can Cars Be Polished?

Car polishing is possible. Here is relevant information about car polishing: 1. Definition: Car polishing refers to the process in auto detailing where the vehicle undergoes polishing before waxing, glaze sealing or coating. This is because glaze sealing/coating requires prior polishing - only finely polished vehicles can achieve a mirror-like finish. 2. Development: The automotive polishing market shows substantial demand but somewhat insufficient supply, particularly from enterprises with core intellectual property rights and truly high-quality products. The industry overall lacks brand influence. During this period of strong demand, the sector exhibits enormous potential and promising development prospects. However, maintaining healthy, stable and sustainable industry growth requires collective efforts from businesses within the field. This especially necessitates meticulous R&D spirit to further improve production techniques, reduce costs, genuinely address customers' practical difficulties, strictly ensure quality control, and provide the most reliable products.

How to Deal with Engine Abnormal Noise Caused by Burning Out Engine Oil?

Engine abnormal noise should be repaired in time to prevent further damage. Here are the specific details: 1. Transmission abnormal noise: The transmission has many parts, and the causes of noise are complex. When analyzing and judging, pay attention to: whether it is related to a specific speed. Planetary gear noise is more obvious at around 50Km/h. Whether it is related to certain gears, which is very important for judging transmission faults. If a certain gear makes noise, it must be related to the parts affecting the transmission of that gear; if all gears make noise, it is often a fault of the constant meshing gear shaft or lack of oil in the transmission. Whether it is related to specific actions, such as shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, turning, etc., which are effective means to judge abnormal noise. Among them, changing speed and direction are particularly important for judging rear axle faults. 2. Wear and abnormal noise: Door abnormal noise is caused by lack of lubrication. It is necessary to judge whether it is the door hinge position or the internal parts of the door, such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc. If it is the door hinge or limiter, use special door hinge and slide lubricating grease. For the internal parts of the door, such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc., use special door accessory lubricating grease. In terms of brand selection, try to choose brands commonly used by 4S stores. Engine oil or ordinary butter should not be used, as it will freeze in winter and harmful odors will affect health.
