What does the INSP warning light in a car mean?

INSP warning is set by car manufacturers to remind owners to perform maintenance at specified mileage intervals. After maintenance, the service reminder light can only be turned off by following a certain reset procedure. You can go to a 4S dealership to have it reset using a computer, or use the reset button on the instrument panel to complete the service reset. This indicator light is periodic and generally appears every 5,000-7,500 km. If the car has recently undergone maintenance or hasn't reached the next service mileage, it might be due to the system and can be manually reset. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. Fluids that need regular replacement in a car include engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine service performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. The interval for minor maintenance depends on the effective time or mileage of the oil and oil filter used. Oil filters are generally divided into conventional and long-life types, with conventional filters being replaced along with the oil, while long-life filters last longer. Major maintenance refers to the routine service performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage, which includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Major maintenance builds upon minor maintenance, and these two types of services are usually performed alternately.

Why does the Chery QQ experience unstable idle after cleaning the throttle body?

It is because the throttle opening has not been reset. Causes: Due to long-term carbon buildup, the carbon deposits squeeze the throttle body, causing the throttle opening to expand accordingly. After cleaning the throttle body, if it is not reset, the throttle opening remains in the pre-cleaning state with carbon buildup, leading to increased air intake. In severe cases, this can result in unstable idle. Solution: Before cleaning the throttle body, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Alternatively, after cleaning, turn the key to the ON position and wait for a few minutes before turning it off. Then, turn it to the ON position again, press the accelerator pedal fully without starting the engine, and then start the car. The quickest method is to use a computer for matching.

What causes the right rear wheel to run over the line during a right-angle turn?

Turning the steering wheel too late and releasing the clutch too quickly are the main causes. Key points to note: The test requires low-speed passage, so use first gear without pressing the accelerator to comply with regulations. Once the low-speed requirement is met, timing is crucial. When entering the test area, stay as close as possible to the right curb. Once the front curb is obscured by the engine hood, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left or right until it reaches the limit. Specific operation: When the front of the car aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel. Before entering the right-angle turn, drive slowly forward as far away from the turning point marker as possible within the lane lines.

How to Open the Sunroof of Geely Emgrand?

The method to open the sunroof of Geely Emgrand is to long-press the unlock button on the key before driving. Advantages of Emgrand Sunroof: The Geely sunroof provides an excellent sense of openness, allowing sunlight to directly enter the car, which is great for sunbathing in winter. However, with the current global trend of climate warming, high temperatures are always a major concern. Disadvantages of Emgrand Sunroof: To ensure good visibility, thin glass is used, which does not block external noise as effectively as a traditional car roof. Traditional roofs can be equipped with better soundproofing materials, so wind noise during driving, especially the noise during rain, is more directly transmitted to the ears.
