AFL stands for Adaptive Front Lighting. The maintenance prompt usually appears when making U-turns or sharp turns, where the steering wheel is turned to the lock (with the turn signal automatically activating) for more than a few seconds. Occasionally, the prompt may appear, but it typically resolves after restarting the vehicle, so there's no need to worry too much. If restarting doesn't work, it may indicate an issue with the sensor or other components, and it's recommended to visit a 4S shop or repair facility for inspection. Below is relevant information about automotive sensors: 1. Adaptive Headlights: Adaptive headlights in cars are equipped with multiple sensors. If certain sensors malfunction, the adaptive headlights may not work properly. Many modern vehicles come with adaptive headlights that can automatically adjust their height and angle (based on load). 2. Maintenance: The AFL light cannot be manually reset by the owner; it will only disappear after the vehicle is inspected and repaired at a 4S shop. This issue often occurs in older vehicles that have been driven for several years. Sometimes, it's not related to other circuits or sensors; the AFL light may also appear as a warning that the headlights are nearing failure. Headlights are crucial for nighttime driving safety, and their importance is self-evident. If this issue arises, the owner should promptly visit a professional repair shop for servicing.

What are the four modes of BYD Qin DM-i?

BYD Qin equipped with the second-generation DM technology has four working modes, namely EV+ECO, EV+SPORT, HEV+ECO, and HEV+SPORT. Especially in HEV+ECO mode (under different working conditions, different power distributions are made to achieve optimal comprehensive economy.), free switching can be achieved. The following are the relevant details: 1. Starting speed: When the starting speed is below 40KM/H, it is driven by pure electric power; when the speed exceeds 40KM/H and the engine is in the economic fuel consumption zone (1500-3500 rpm), it is driven by fuel; 2. During acceleration: During acceleration or climbing, the engine speed gradually increases, and the motor responds faster than the engine, responding before the engine leaves the economic fuel consumption zone, assisting the engine to keep it within the economic fuel consumption zone.
