When installing a car battery, the correct order is to connect the positive terminal first, followed by the negative terminal. Below is relevant information about fault codes: Background knowledge: Standard tire pressure varies across different vehicles. For compact cars, this pressure typically ranges between 30-40 psi. After troubleshooting car issues, it's generally necessary to clear the fault codes. When clearing fault codes, strictly follow the prescribed method for the specific vehicle model. Never arbitrarily remove the negative battery cable to clear fault codes. Two common abnormal situations: 1. May cause certain vehicle models' control computers to lose "experience memory." 2. Some vehicle models' control computers feature automatic memory functions; removing the negative battery cable will erase engine operation data stored in RAM.

Can AO tires be replaced with non-AO ones?

The difference between Pirelli P7 tires with AO and without AO is that the AO marking indicates the tire is specifically designed for Audi and has received Audi certification. In terms of price, AO-marked tires are slightly more expensive than non-AO ones, but there is no difference in quality. It's similar to the same product being endorsed or not. AO tires can be replaced with non-AO tires, but the tread pattern, speed rating, and model must correspond. Here are some considerations when purchasing and using tires: 1. Always check the production date when buying tires: Avoid purchasing tires with old production dates. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. 2. Regularly check tire pressure and the tire surface for damage during daily use: The tire sidewall is relatively fragile, and if it is cut or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during that period.

What Causes Car Windows to Fog Up Continuously?

The root cause is that the external temperature is relatively low, which makes the temperature of the front window low. When the temperature inside the car rises, the air inside the car condenses into small water droplets upon contact with the windshield, adhering to the glass, thus resulting in the 'window fogging' phenomenon. 1. Temperature difference between inside and outside the car: The temperature inside the cabin is higher than outside, causing the moisture inside the cabin to condense on the windshield, forming fog. 2. Additional information: Solution: Wiping the inside of the windshield with a cloth dipped in dishwashing liquid or a special anti-fog agent can effectively prevent window fogging. Wiping away the fog with a cloth is a temporary solution, as the moisture will quickly condense into fog again.

What is the problem when the APS light is on?

Car APS warning light indicates that the vehicle's electronic stability control system has been turned off. After disabling this function, the vehicle may be at risk of skidding while driving on the road. This function can be turned off by an OFF button and is enabled by default every time the vehicle starts. The reasons for the car engine warning light to illuminate are: 1. Poor gasoline quality leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, resulting in carbon deposits; 2. Excessive mileage of the engine, weakening the working characteristics of the spark plugs; 3. Mechanical aging of the vehicle; 4. Damage, poor contact, or signal interruption of the coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, or oxygen sensor.

What are the effects of driving over potholes at high speed on a car?

Impact on the body and electrical system: Effects on tires, rims, brake bearings, body, and electrical system. Here are the relevant details: 1. Impact on tires and rims: Driving over potholes at high speed can easily cause tire damage. It may lead to bulges, deformation, or even punctures in severe cases. 2. Impact on brake bearings: The sudden impact from high-speed pothole encounters can affect the bearings inside the brakes. This may result in loose wheels and regular abnormal noises during subsequent driving. 3. Impact on the body and electrical system: Severe vibrations can cause varying degrees of deformation to the car body. This includes cracking or loosening of interior and exterior trims, as well as deformation of electronic circuit boards and connectors inside the car, leading to open circuits, poor connections, or short circuits.

Which consumes more fuel: using car air conditioning or opening windows?

On urban roads, using air conditioning clearly consumes more fuel than opening windows. However, on highways at 70 km/h, the fuel consumption between opening windows and using air conditioning is quite similar. Below 70 km/h, opening windows saves slightly more fuel, while above 70 km/h, opening windows consumes more fuel. 1. Air conditioning temperature at 25°C: This is the most suitable setting. One major reason for high fuel consumption in summer is the excessive use of car air conditioning. Therefore, reducing the fuel consumption caused by the air conditioning will lower the vehicle's actual fuel usage. 2. Open windows before turning on the air conditioning: Prolonged use of air conditioning increases engine load and fuel consumption. After entering the car, owners can first open the windows to let out the hot air inside, then turn on the air conditioning. Adjust the air conditioning settings periodically to avoid keeping it at high settings all the time.
