service is not a warning light, it is a reminder for the owner to take the car to the 4S shop for maintenance. The method to reset the service light is: 1. First turn off the ignition switch; 2. Press the trip meter reset button on the dashboard; 3. Turn on the ignition switch. Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the regular preventive work of checking, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the car. Car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., aiming to keep the car clean, in normal technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, and extend the service life.

What happens if the catalytic converter is removed from a car?

After removing the catalytic converter, issues such as insufficient backpressure and the illumination of the check engine light may occur. Here are the specific details: 1. Insufficient exhaust backpressure: After removal, due to the exhaust pipe becoming too unrestricted, there will be a condition known as insufficient exhaust backpressure at low RPMs. Because the engine has valve overlap, the exhaust becomes too unrestricted, causing the fresh intake air to be expelled along with the overlap, resulting in a loss of low-end torque in exchange for increased high-RPM horsepower. 2. Check engine light illumination: Most cars have an oxygen sensor located after the catalytic converter. After removing the catalytic converter, the monitored data will differ from the factory-set values, triggering the check engine light.

What is the reason for the front of the car air conditioner not cooling while the rear is cooling?

If the front of the car air conditioner is not cooling while the rear is cooling, it may be due to a malfunction in the front air conditioner's blower, preventing it from cooling. Below is more information about car air conditioners: 1. Cooling Principle: When the car air conditioner is cooling, the compressor clutch engages, causing the engine to drive the compressor. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower. 2. Heating Principle: When the car air conditioner is heating, the engine's high-temperature coolant passes through the heater core. At the same time, the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing the air conditioner vents to blow warm air.

How to Calculate the Costs of Car Installment Payments?

Installment payments consist of a down payment and subsequent repayments. Below are the specifics of car installment purchases: 1. Advantages: Long payment terms and a wide range of options. Dealers are highly enthusiastic, as in the current market environment for car enthusiasts, installment payments are seen by many dealers as an effective means to capture market share. 2. Payment methods: Bank consumer loans, loans from car manufacturers' financial companies, and financing leases, with the market mainly dominated by the 'Kaiyuan Auto' brand chain. 3. Pros and cons analysis: Pros—bank auto loans have higher interest rates but relatively lower repayment pressure, and multiple banks offer auto loans. Cons—the maximum installment amount is linked to the overdraft limit. For example, for most installment car purchases, the maximum amount is four times the overdraft limit. However, the installment limit is separate from the spending limit, meaning after purchasing a car in installments, the spending limit is not occupied and can still be used normally.
