Turn on the air conditioning to see if it spins. If it doesn't, the fan motor is faulty; if it does, the temperature controller is faulty. Below are the specific control principles of car fans: 1. Thermoswitch "Sole" Control: The high and low speeds of the car fan are "solely" controlled by the thermoswitch. This switch has two gears and is installed on the radiator to detect water temperature. 2. Radiator Control: The car fan is installed behind the radiator and pulls air from the front of the radiator when turned on. However, some models have fans installed in front of the radiator, blowing air toward the radiator when turned on. 3. Engine-Driven: The electric fan does not rotate when the engine is cold but starts spinning as the temperature rises, driven by an electric motor. 4. Fan Control Device: To reduce engine power loss and save fuel, mechanical fans often use a fan control device to engage or disengage the cooling fan from the drive pulley.

Can Yellow-label Sedans Enter Urban Areas?

Yellow-label sedans are not allowed to enter urban areas. The term 'yellow-label vehicle' refers to high-pollution emission vehicles, characterized by large emission volumes, high concentrations, and unstable emission levels. These include gasoline vehicles that fail to meet even the National I emission standards or diesel vehicles that do not meet the National III standards. They are called yellow-label vehicles because they are issued yellow environmental labels. Based on the vehicle model registered and the results of exhaust emission environmental inspections, vehicles are classified into two types: those with green environmental labels (passing the inspection) and those with yellow labels. Vehicles issued green or yellow environmental labels are commonly referred to as green-label or yellow-label vehicles.

The Subject Four test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The test content for Subject Four includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

How many years can a roof film generally last?

Roof film generally lasts for 3 years. Roof film has antioxidant and anti-aging effects. After application, it forms a hard inorganic coating layer on the car paint surface, tightly bonding with the paint to enhance paint hardness and smoothness, completely isolating the paint from air. It effectively reflects sunlight and external heat radiation, preventing high temperature damage to the car paint. The hard non-organic film layer itself does not oxidize and also prevents external factors such as acid rain, insects, and bird droppings from corroding the car paint. The dense glass crystal film has ultra-strong corrosion resistance, effectively preventing damage from corrosive substances like acid rain to the car paint, while also preventing paint fading.

Is National VI the same as China 6?

National VI is indeed China 6, which represents a new automotive emission standard—the National Sixth Stage Policy Standard for Motor Vehicle Exhaust Emissions, denoted by the VI character. Automobile exhaust emission standards are updated with new requirements every few years. Upon the introduction of a new emission standard policy, the old emission standards are phased out, rendering vehicles that fail to meet the new standards obsolete. The implementation of stringent emission standards aims to regulate automakers rather than consumers. Only through strict emission regulations can automakers be compelled to develop engines with lower emissions. Under these rigorous emission standards, many automakers are accelerating their transition to electrification.
