On a Volkswagen dashboard, a triangular exclamation mark represents the traction control fault light, a yellow exclamation mark inside parentheses indicates the tire pressure fault light, and a yellow gear-shaped exclamation mark inside a circle signifies the automatic transmission fault warning light. Common dashboard warning lights include: 1. Tire pressure indicator light - it illuminates during ignition for functional testing and automatically turns off after a few seconds; 2. Engine fault indicator light - shows the engine's operating status, typically yellow or red; 3. It lights up during vehicle self-check and turns off after startup, but if it remains constantly lit, the engine condition should be checked immediately; 4. Battery indicator light - normally turns off after startup; if it stays lit, there's a battery issue requiring prompt attention.

Where to Check Tire Pressure?

If the vehicle is equipped with a built-in tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure can be viewed on the car's dashboard. For vehicles without this feature, there will be a tire pressure warning. Typically, the standard tire pressure can be found in the user manual, on the driver's door (next to the car's B-pillar), or on the fuel tank cap. Below are the hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: 1. Overinflated Tires: 1. Increases friction between the tire and the ground, reducing tire grip and affecting braking performance and driving comfort. 2. Accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, reducing its lifespan. 3. Increases body vibration, affecting other car components; increases tire wear and decreases elasticity. 4. Accelerates tire aging, reduces wear resistance, and increases the risk of blowouts. 2. Underinflated Tires: 1. Increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Makes the steering wheel heavier, affecting driving. 3. Tires are prone to overheating, increasing the risk of blowouts. 4. Expands the tire body, making it more likely for cracks to appear on the inner and outer sides, accelerating rubber aging and tire wear.

What Causes the Unstable Idle Speed Fluctuation When the Air Conditioner is On in a Focus?

The unstable idle speed when the air conditioner is on in a Focus is caused by oil accumulation and carbon deposits in the throttle body. If there is oil or carbon buildup in the throttle body, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop to clean the throttle body. Below are the relevant details: 1. Specific Causes: A clogged intake tract can lead to idle speed fluctuations, and carbon deposits or oil in the throttle body are the most common causes of unstable idle speed. Carbon deposits in the throttle body affect its opening, which in turn affects the air intake volume, causing the engine speed to fluctuate erratically after a cold start, accompanied by strong vibrations. 2. Precautions: Severe oil accumulation or carbon deposits in the throttle body, including a dirty intake tract, can make it difficult to start the car in cold weather. A dirty throttle body requires cleaning, which is considered a routine maintenance task. Spark plugs can also accumulate carbon deposits, and cleaning can restore their activity. However, some spark plugs may lose performance as they near the end of their service life. Weak sparks from spark plugs in certain cylinders can affect the car's performance. Generally, faulty spark plugs can cause the car to exhibit "misfire" symptoms.

How to Set Up the Reversing Camera on BMW 3 Series?

The reversing camera for BMW can be configured in the factory settings menu under the general settings on the display screen. Below are the functional features of the BMW 3 Series reversing camera: 1. The system supports a wide voltage input range of 11-32V and can connect up to 4 camera signals, making it widely applicable for various vehicles. It is suitable for unstable cold-start power supply voltages, features strong anti-interference capabilities, and includes built-in overheating and overcurrent protection. 2. It supports 4-screen split functionality, allowing users to choose between single-screen and 4-screen views. 3. It includes 4 sets of forced start signals, labeled as CAM1, CAM2, CAM3, and CAM4, with reversing priority. In any state, the system automatically switches to the reversing view when reversing and restores the original state after reversing is completed, achieving automatic wake-up for reversing. The priority order is CAM1 > CAM2 > CAM3 > CAM4. 4. Users can individually set the 4-screen view to mirror or non-mirror mode. 5. It comes with video signal output (for external car recorders/displays).

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS55 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Changan CS55 is 58L. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The fuel tank is a container for storing fuel in a vehicle: it is a specialized container in the hydraulic system for storing hydraulic oil or hydraulic fluid. 2. Fuel tanks are divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. The fuel tank must have a sufficiently large volume; the suction pipe and return pipe should be inserted below the lowest liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing of return oil, which can create bubbles. The distance between the suction pipe and return pipe should be as far apart as possible, with a partition set up between them. 3. To maintain clean oil: the fuel tank should have a sealed cover plate around its perimeter, equipped with an air filter; the bottom of the fuel tank should be at least 150mm above the ground; special attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface of the fuel tank. In addition to storing oil, the fuel tank in the hydraulic system also plays roles in heat dissipation, separating bubbles from the oil, and precipitating impurities. Many auxiliary components are installed in the fuel tank, such as coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges.
