The butter pot symbol displayed on the car dashboard indicates that the engine oil pressure warning light is activated. Here are the reasons why the engine oil pressure warning light may illuminate: 1. Insufficient engine oil level: When the oil level is too low, the oil pump's output decreases or fails to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in reduced oil pressure. 2. Overheated engine: Excessive engine temperature can thin the engine oil, causing significant leakage through component clearances and leading to oil pressure drop. 3. Damaged oil pump components: When oil pump parts are damaged or excessive clearance occurs due to wear or improper assembly, the pump may fail to deliver sufficient oil, causing pressure reduction.

Where is the air intake for the recirculation mode located?

The air intake for the recirculation mode is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side, controlled by the same partition as the fresh air intake. Advantages of vehicle recirculation mode: The recirculation mode primarily functions to promptly and effectively block external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle cabin. For instance, it prevents harmful exhaust emissions from preceding vehicles when driving through areas with smoke, dust, unpleasant odors, or dense traffic. Disadvantages of vehicle recirculation mode: Prolonged use of recirculation mode may degrade the air quality inside the vehicle, potentially causing symptoms like dizziness. It is advisable to switch to fresh air mode for a few minutes after using recirculation mode for a while, allowing fresh air to enter and improve cabin air quality.
