When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 4 possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting system fault. Below is a detailed analysis of each situation: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or that the transmission fluid level is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a parenthesis with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting System Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a vehicle light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a braking system warning, typically due to a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the braking system is required to prevent accidents.

Do New Energy Vehicles Have Radiation?

New energy vehicles have almost no radiation, so there is no need to worry about radiation issues. Classification of Radiation: In nature, there are only two types of radiation: ionizing radiation and electromagnetic radiation. Generally, ionizing radiation has a greater impact on the human body, but people rarely encounter this type of radiation in daily life. Radiation in Vehicles: Electromagnetic radiation is more common. Both inside and outside the human body, there are electric and magnetic energies emitted by natural and artificial radiation sources; lightning is one example of a natural radiation source. Whether it's electric vehicles or fuel-powered vehicles, they all produce electromagnetic radiation. However, this radiation is controlled within a safe limit and does not pose any health risks to humans.

Why does the BYD S7 always lack coolant?

BYD S7 frequently lacking coolant may be due to natural loss, coolant leakage, or coolant entering the cylinder and participating in combustion. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Natural loss: Various fluids in a car experience loss. Since coolant is responsible for cooling the car engine and is often in a high-temperature state, a natural loss of 10%-36% per year is considered normal. According to the technical requirements of NB/SH/T0521-2010 "Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol Engine Coolants" issued by the National Energy Administration, the boiling point of a 50% volume fraction of coolant is above 100°C. The loss is mainly due to natural evaporation, and without replacement, the loss ranges between 10%-36% per year. 2. Coolant leakage: The second scenario is when the coolant level drops significantly within three to four days, requiring frequent top-ups. This indicates a coolant leak. Rubber and metal pipes under constant high temperatures can age due to thermal expansion and contraction, leading to small gaps through which coolant can seep. Common leakage points include the radiator hoses, air conditioning heater hoses, thermostat, and water pump seals. Regular inspection of sealing glue, tightening clamps, and timely maintenance can ensure driving safety and prevent breakdowns or accidents. 3. Coolant entering the cylinder and participating in combustion: The third scenario involves coolant entering the cylinder and participating in combustion, such as due to cylinder block cracks, cylinder gasket burning or corrosion deformation, etc. In this case, check the oil dipstick to see if the engine oil shows emulsification (oil emulsification is when the oil turns into a milky liquid, appearing milky white or milky yellow, resembling stirred batter with bubbles). Since the cylinder block has oil and water channels, once the cylinder gasket is damaged, the water channel cannot be sealed, and coolant flows into the oil channel.

What is the speed limit standard for urban roads?

Highway speed limits are generally 110-120km/h; primary roads, such as national highways and provincial roads, have a speed limit of 80km/h; suburban roads in urban areas have a speed limit of 70-80km/h; urban roads have a speed limit of 40-60km/h. Signage speed limit regulations: This refers to the speed indicated by speed limit signs and markings on the road. The specific speed limit is determined by the transportation department based on the road's design speed, functional type, geometric alignment characteristics, traffic flow, roadside environment, and other comprehensive factors. Road speed limit regulations: Regardless of the type of road, in sections with speed limit signs, drivers must adhere to the posted speed limits. In sections without speed limit signs, drivers must comply with the speed limits stipulated by laws and regulations.

What is the wading depth of the BYD Han EV?

The maximum wading depth of the BYD Han EV is 250mm. The wading depth of the BYD Han EV is determined by the height of the vehicle chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the BYD Han EV is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water intake. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and other reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed recklessly; consider alternative routes instead.

What are the differences between Maxus G10 and G20?

The differences between Maxus G10 and G20 are: 1. Difference one: Appearance: From the side view, the G20 and G10 are quite similar, but the G20 features a more minimalist overall design, with the sliding door negative pressure windows replaced by electric windows, representing a completely new design. Additionally, the rearview mirrors have been widened and now integrate LED turn signals and 360° panoramic imaging cameras. The taillights retain many design elements from the Maxus G10, but a chrome trim connects the taillights on both sides, enhancing the G20's cohesive appearance. 2. Difference two: Powertrain: Both the Maxus G10 and G20 are equipped with a 2.0T engine, but the G20 has undergone minor adjustments for compensation. However, the G20 sees significant changes in the transmission, upgrading from a 6-speed to an 8-speed automatic transmission sourced from ZF. This results in a maximum power output of 160kW (218PS) and a maximum torque of 350N·m, meeting the China VI emission standards.
