When the engine symbol appears on the dashboard, it indicates an engine malfunction. If this light illuminates while the vehicle is in use, it means the engine requires maintenance or servicing. Generally, you should promptly inspect the engine or visit a nearby auto repair shop for maintenance. The engine is the heart of the vehicle, and regular maintenance is essential to prevent breakdowns during operation. The engine malfunction light can appear in different ways: steady yellow light, flashing yellow light; steady red light, flashing red light. If a red light appears, you must immediately go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair, as the issue is severe. If a yellow light appears, the problem may not affect driving immediately, but you should still get it checked as soon as possible.

What's the difference between Repsol Moto Racing 4T and Repsol Moto Racing 4T Competition?

Here are the differences between Repsol Moto Racing 4T and Repsol Moto Racing 4T Competition: 1. Different sports performance: Both Moto Racing 4T and Moto Racing 4T Competition are fully synthetic motorcycle oils produced by Repsol. However, in terms of sports performance, Moto Racing 4T Competition is better than Moto Racing 4T. Because Moto Racing 4T Competition is a racing oil, it emphasizes acceleration performance, high-temperature resistance, and high-speed performance. 2. Different replacement cycles: Since Moto Racing 4T Competition contains excessive additives, it deteriorates faster than Moto Racing 4T and needs to be replaced more frequently; while Moto Racing 4T is a civilian fully synthetic oil with good overall performance, suitable for daily use, deteriorates slower than Moto Racing 4T Competition, and does not need to be replaced as frequently.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Engaging the Clutch from First to Second Gear?

The abnormal noise when engaging the clutch from first to second gear may be due to the age of the manual transmission vehicle, potential looseness in the gear shift mechanism, or issues with the shift ball joint and gear lock mechanism. Cold weather can also sometimes cause a sharp abnormal noise after shifting gears. Gear Introduction: 1. First Gear: This is the starting gear, used to get the car moving. It has a similar gear ratio to reverse gear and is not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the car gains momentum. 2. Second Gear: This is the passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling tricky situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third Gear: This is the transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Depending on the situation, you can easily accelerate to shift to fourth gear or decelerate to downshift to second gear.

What Causes One Wheel to Have No Brakes?

There are several reasons why one wheel may have no brakes, such as issues with the brake pump, brake pads and discs, brake fluid, or brake lines, all of which can cause one side to lose braking. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles lack ABS, so it's not advisable to fully press the brake pedal at once. Instead, press it twice in succession to prevent wheel lock-up, which can cause skidding or loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid slamming the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel abruptly. After passing through water, gently press the brake pedal twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden stops. 3. Braking while following another vehicle: When following another car, brake gently to maintain a safe distance. Besides monitoring the leading car's braking, also pay attention to the vehicle ahead of it. If the leading car brakes, place your foot on the brake pedal in advance to prepare for sudden stops.

Will all future cars be equipped with particulate filters?

All future cars will be equipped with particulate filters. Particulate filters can reduce and capture particles in engine exhaust emissions, recycle them, decrease vehicle exhaust emissions, enhance the environmental friendliness of vehicles, and reduce atmospheric pollution. To check whether a vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Refer to the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to check if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the cap clearly indicates the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter. Location of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by the front and rear oxygen sensors.
