Off on the car means closed. The off light on the car mainly refers to EspOff. ESP stands for the body stability control system, which is an active safety device mainly used to prevent the risk of vehicle side slip and tail swing. If the EspOff light on the car dashboard lights up, it means that the vehicle's body stability control system is turned off or malfunctioning. Off is the shutdown button of the body stability control system. This system is turned on by default. Long press this button to turn it off. This system is equipped on many cars, but the names may vary between different brand models and different technical providers. For example, Honda calls it VSA, Toyota calls it VSC, Nissan calls it VDC, and BMW calls it DSC. Although the names are different, the working principles are roughly the same.

What is the Difference Between Fast Charging and Slow Charging for New Energy Vehicles?

New energy vehicles have the following differences between fast charging and slow charging: 1. Different charging interfaces: Fast charging uses high-power DC charging, which is the charging interface of a DC charging pile. Slow charging refers to AC charging, which is the charging interface of an AC charging pile. 2. Different charging methods: Fast charging converts the grid's AC power into DC power and delivers it to the fast charging port of the electric vehicle, where the electricity directly enters the battery for charging. Slow charging inputs the grid's AC power into the slow charging port of the electric vehicle, where the onboard charger converts the AC power into DC power before it is input into the battery to complete the charging process. 3. Different charging times: Fast charging can charge the battery to 80% capacity in as little as half an hour, while slow charging typically takes 6 to 8 hours to complete the charging process.

Are BYD Charging Piles Universal?

BYD charging piles are universal. BYD charging pile standards: Developed according to national standards, there are no issues with long-term use. Introduction to charging piles: The function of a charging pile is similar to that of a fuel dispenser in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. It can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. The input end of the charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. Users can swipe specific charging cards on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to perform corresponding operations such as selecting charging methods, setting charging time, and printing cost data. The display screen of the charging pile can show data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.

Why Does Using the Air Conditioner Consume So Much Fuel?

The reason why using the air conditioner consumes a lot of fuel may be due to the high power of the air conditioner, the temperature being set too low or too high, or aging air conditioning components. Car fuel consumption usually refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Below is a detailed introduction about the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Overview: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated at a specified speed to obtain the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. Others: Since most vehicles are close to their economical speed at 90 km/h, most of the published theoretical fuel consumption is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.

Should Spark Plugs with Yellow Roots Be Replaced?

Spark plugs with yellow roots need to be replaced. The specific replacement steps are as follows: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires in the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace them every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Can I renew my car insurance after it expires?

You can renew your car insurance after it expires, but the premium may increase. Here is some additional information: Classification of car insurance: Currently, car insurance is divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased because if it expires and you are caught driving by traffic police, the traffic management department of the public security organ has the right to detain the vehicle and impose a fine of twice the amount of the insurance premium until the owner completes the insurance procedures to retrieve the car. Additionally, if you renew compulsory traffic insurance after it has expired, the insurance company will re-inspect the vehicle. Consequences of expired car insurance: After commercial insurance expires, the owner can choose whether to renew it based on their needs. However, many owners fail to renew their insurance in time, leading to situations where claims are denied by the insurance company in the event of an accident, resulting in all losses being borne by the owner.

What are the differences between Michelin Primacy LC and Primacy 4?

The differences between Michelin Primacy LC and Primacy 4 are as follows: 1. Different product specifications: The typical product specification for Michelin Primacy 4 is 215/55R17. The typical product specification for Michelin Primacy LC is 235/55R17. 2. Different speed ratings: The speed rating for Michelin Primacy 4 is V (maximum 240 km/h). The speed rating for Michelin Primacy LC is H (maximum 210 km/h). 3. Different technical features: Michelin Primacy 4's tread pattern adopts a variable pitch block design. Four longitudinal grooves divide the tread pattern into five blocks, with the middle three blocks having the same pattern. All the pattern blocks use a variable pitch design, which can disrupt noise during tire operation, providing noise reduction and noise cancellation effects. Michelin Primacy LC tires use the "Silent Rib" technology, which, compared to the already effective noise reduction of the Energy MXV8, can effectively reduce tire noise by up to one decibel. Additionally, it can reduce interference to human ears.
