TPMS on a car refers to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which is a warning light that alerts the driver to abnormal tire pressure. The reasons for the TPMS display are: 1. The tire pressure of all four tires is outside the normal range; 2. The tire is losing air due to slow leaks or punctures; 3. The tire pressure is too high. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System automatically monitors various tire conditions in real time by recording the rotation speed of the tires or through electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety protection while driving. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are: 1. To prevent accidents; 2. To extend the service life of the tires; 3. To reduce wear on the suspension system.

Can the Wuling Hongguang Mini be registered in Shanghai?

The reason for the temporary suspension of registration for the Hongguang MINIEV in Shanghai is that Shanghai is about to introduce a new policy, which stipulates that new energy vehicles with a length of less than 4.6 meters will not be eligible for free green license plates in Shanghai. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Home power supply: As a four-seat new energy vehicle, the Wuling Hongguang MINIEV can be directly charged using a standard household grounded 220V three-pin power supply, with a charging power of less than 2kW. The Hongguang MINIEV does not rely on charging piles and comes with an integrated high-efficiency charging gun. The charging time for the 120KM range model is 6 hours, while the 170KM range model takes about 9 hours, making it very convenient. 2. Battery introduction: The Hongguang MINIEV battery features low-temperature pre-heating charging technology, battery insulation function, and an intelligent battery management system (BMS), which allows real-time monitoring of the battery status, facilitating charging and power usage monitoring.

What are the automatic transmission gears of the Bora?

Volkswagen Bora has P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, and S gear. P (Parking Gear): When this gear is engaged, the transmission locking mechanism starts working, so the vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting into it. R (Reverse Gear): Engage the reverse gear when the vehicle needs to reverse. Note that the vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting into this gear. N (Neutral Gear): The torque converter is in an idle state, and power cannot be transmitted to the planetary gears. Neutral gear is used for short-term parking. D (Drive Gear): All forward gears can automatically shift up and down. The shifting timing depends on engine load, personal driving style, and driving speed. S (Sport Gear): The transmission shifts later, and the engine speed increases for better power response. Sport mode can be used for overtaking.

How to Reset the Car Malfunction Indicator Light?

Methods to reset the car malfunction indicator light are as follows: 1. If the engine system malfunctions, promptly inspect and perform maintenance. 2. Disconnect the negative or positive terminal of the car battery for a few seconds, then reconnect it. 3. After starting the car, check if the dashboard functions normally and whether the engine malfunction light remains illuminated. If it turns off, it indicates no engine issues, eliminating the need for a repair shop inspection. Related information is as follows: 1. The illumination of the vehicle malfunction light is often caused by the fuel emission system. When the malfunction light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times consecutively, then observe if the light remains on. If it does, promptly visit a repair shop to check the fault code to determine whether it's an engine problem or a sensor malfunction. If the light turns off, it may be a sporadic issue that doesn’t require immediate inspection. 2. Poor engine combustion is a primary reason for the engine malfunction light. Internal causes for the light include poor fuel quality and dirty engine cylinders with accumulated carbon deposits.

A dash cam connects to the vehicle via three wires: one is positive, one is negative, and one is constant power. Generally, the dash cam only needs the positive and negative wires to function, but if you want parking surveillance, you will also need to connect the constant power wire. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Open the ACC cover panel; there are usually several small and medium-sized unused ports inside. Choose the port to connect to. Connect the red wire of the voltage reducer to ACC, the black wire to the negative or ground, and if parking surveillance is desired, connect to constant power. 2. A dash cam can draw power from the cigarette lighter, the reading light, or ACC. If it functions normally, the installation is successful. A dash cam can draw power from the cigarette lighter, the reading light, or ACC.
