When the dashboard displays TC with a slash, it indicates that the traction control is turned off. Here are the reasons why the TC with a slash indicator light comes on and the corresponding solutions: 1. Reasons: ① The traction control switch is turned off ② Driving too fast in rain or mud ③ Issues with the traction control system ④ Solenoid valve malfunction ⑤ Dirty engine oil clogging the solenoid valve filter ⑥ Oil pressure leakage due to wear of actuator gears and impellers, triggering the warning ⑦ Dirty throttle body with opening reaching 20%, causing the engine computer to misjudge a TC fault 2. Solutions: ① Press the button again (hold for more than 5 seconds) ② Restart the vehicle

What are the hidden features of Geely Emgrand?

There are many small features in the new Emgrand that are not easily noticeable, such as the trunk escape passage and child safety locks. Trunk Escape Passage: In case of an emergency, simply fold down the rear seats to access the trunk. You need to crawl forward, pull out the mechanical key, insert it into this small hole, and slide it in the indicated direction to open it. If the car is submerged in water, prioritize escaping through the doors or windows, with the trunk being the last resort. Therefore, always ensure safe driving. Child Safety Locks: For families with active toddlers, this safety lock is very useful. Although Geely has adopted Volvo's door technology, which requires pulling the door handle twice to open, it is safer to lock the doors when children are sitting alone in the back seat. Once locked, the doors can only be opened from the outside, preventing injuries caused by children accidentally opening the doors while the car is in motion.

Should You Release the Handbrake Before or After Engaging the Gear?

When driving a car, you should engage the gear first and then release the handbrake. Here are the specific techniques for driving a manual transmission car: 1. Starting the vehicle: Let the car idle for about half a minute, then press the clutch, engage first gear, simultaneously press the foot brake with your right foot, release the handbrake with your right hand, and slowly lift the clutch. 2. While driving: When the speed reaches 15 to 20 km/h, shift into second gear. When the speed reaches 25 to 30 km/h, shift into third gear. 3. Decelerating and stopping: As long as the brake can reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level, you can press the clutch and shift into neutral.

Where are the sunroof drainage outlets of the Geely Emgrand EC7?

The sunroof drainage outlets are located at each of the four corners of the sunroof. They are easily visible when the sunroof is opened, appearing as four small holes, each connected to a soft tube that leads to the front and rear of the vehicle. If these drainage holes at the four corners become blocked, accumulated water cannot drain properly and may seep into the interior. Hazards of blocked drainage outlets: If the drainage holes at the four corners are blocked, accumulated water cannot drain properly and may seep into the interior. In severe cases, water may flow along the roof towards the sunroof motor inside the vehicle. If the sunroof motor is used while powered, it can short-circuit and burn out. Cleaning method: Initial blockages in the sunroof drainage holes usually occur at the entrance of the drainage holes, which can be seen when the sunroof is opened. These are relatively easy to clean and can be handled by yourself. Over time, blockages may move further into the drainage tubes, making them harder to clear. In such cases, it is best to visit a 4S store and have a professional mechanic perform the cleaning.

What Does It Mean When the Engine Emission System Warning Light Comes On?

When the engine emission system warning light comes on, it indicates a fault in the emission system. Here are the specific details about the engine exhaust system warning light: 1. False Alarm Handling: Start and turn off the vehicle three times in a row, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. After performing the above steps, check if the engine warning light on the dashboard is still on. This method only applies to false alarms in the engine system. 2. Cause of the Fault: The engine exhaust system warning light often comes on due to poor fuel quality in the country. It may be caused by a damaged oxygen sensor in the three-way catalytic system or poisoning of the catalytic converter. If the light comes on while driving, immediately reduce speed and drive to the nearest service station for inspection. 3. Solution: If the warning light comes on and the vehicle cannot start after being turned off, this is usually due to a fuel pump or ignition system failure—call for a tow truck immediately. If the vehicle can still be driven but exhibits severe shaking, loss of acceleration power, or other symptoms, take action to prevent further engine damage.

What are the effects of a faulty purge pump?

The impacts of a faulty purge pump are as follows: 1. Reduced vehicle power: A damaged purge pump prevents fuel vapor from the charcoal canister from entering the cylinders, leading to a lower concentration of combustible air-fuel mixture in the engine, which results in decreased vehicle power output; 2. Increased fuel consumption: If the charcoal canister becomes saturated with fuel vapor and the purge pump fails to expel it, subsequent fuel vapor cannot be recycled, naturally causing an increase in vehicle fuel consumption; 3. Environmental pollution: The direct release of fuel vapor into the atmosphere causes air pollution. Additionally, during normal engine operation, it may inhale pure air instead of fuel vapor, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture.
