Automotive sheet metal is a technical method of automobile repair, in this context, automotive sheet metal is equivalent to automotive sheet metal repair, which refers to the repair of the vehicle body after a collision. This includes all work except for the anti-corrosion and decorative spraying of the vehicle body. Additional details are as follows: 1. Introduction: Automotive sheet metal is a processing method for automobile maintenance, also known as cold working. To put it simply, if the exterior of the vehicle body is damaged or deformed, the sheet metal process is required. Automotive collision repair has evolved from the original 'hammering, pulling, welding, and patching' to the secondary manufacturing and assembly of the vehicle body. The repair of collision-damaged vehicles is no longer just about hammering and tapping the sheet metal; the quality of the repair cannot be judged solely by visually inspecting the vehicle's appearance and gaps. 2. Material Requirements: Sheet metal materials must have excellent plasticity. They must have the ability to undergo permanent deformation under external forces without being destroyed. For cold-working parts, good cold plasticity is required, such as automotive stamping parts; for hot-working parts, good hot plasticity is necessary, such as hot-forged spring steel plates and hot-riveted rivets.

How to Reactivate ETC Device After Removal?

ETC device reactivation method after removal: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting/removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and doesn't affect activation. You can also directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there's a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part.

What tires does the CS75 use?

CS75 uses Yokohama tires, a world-renowned tire brand originating from Yokohama, Japan. Here is some information about Yokohama: 1. Yokohama has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. This technology, as a new environmentally friendly method to decrease tire rolling resistance, improves the airflow around the tire during vehicle operation, thereby achieving fuel-saving environmental benefits. 2. The Changan CS75 has three tire size specifications: 225/65R17, 225/60R18, and 225/55R19, distributed across different trim levels. Taking 225/65R17 as an example, the parameters specifically mean: the maximum width of the tire cross-section is 225 millimeters, the aspect ratio (the height of the cross-section as a percentage of the maximum width) is 65%, and the inner diameter of the tire is 17 inches. 3. The choice of tire width and aspect ratio for the CS75 is very appropriate. On one hand, the 225-millimeter width ensures stable handling and excellent braking performance while providing good acceleration and more economical fuel consumption, with tire noise also kept within a comfortable range. The combination of aspect ratios and tire sizes across different models achieves a good balance between comfort, off-road capability, and handling, offering excellent adaptability whether on city roads or complex off-road conditions.

When were China III vehicles produced?

China III vehicles generally refer to cars produced between 2007 and 2011. Below is relevant information about the China III standard: 1. The so-called China III standard refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standard. 2. The national third-stage emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to that of Euro III. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system. 3. The On-Board Diagnostics system features an increased number of detection points and detection systems, with oxygen sensors installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter. Compliance is entirely controlled through real-time monitoring of vehicle emissions, ensuring stricter enforcement of the Euro III emission standard. 4. For motor vehicle pollutant emissions to stably meet the China III emission standard, vehicles must be equipped with technical measures that ensure emissions comply with the China III standard, while also using fuel that meets the Euro III standard.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on a Honda CR-V?

Tire pressure warning reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "beep" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure warning reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually triggers a warning when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting a curb, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

How many kilometers should the transmission fluid of a general automatic transmission car be replaced?

There is no unified standard for the replacement of transmission fluid. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid is usually replaced every 40,000-60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the life of the transmission device. The methods for replacing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Gravity replacement. The principle is the same as changing engine oil. Loosen the bolt of the oil pan and let the transmission fluid flow out by gravity. This method is the simplest, but it cannot completely drain the transmission fluid, mainly because there are dead corners such as depressions and pits in the mechanical structure. 2. Circulation machine replacement. New transmission fluid is added to the circulation machine, which is connected to the oil circuit interface of the transmission. Under hydraulic pressure, the new fluid pushes out the old fluid. This method cleans the oil circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used, the cleaner the cleaning. A single circulation machine replacement requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid. The replacement time is approximately 40-80 minutes. 3. Oil pan removal replacement. This method is a root cleaning method and can also clean the oil filter. Since the disassembly process requires excessive manpower, 4S shops generally do not do this.
