ABS and CBS differ in the following ways: CBS does not have an anti-lock function; this system can only distribute braking force reasonably between the front and rear wheels. ABS has an anti-lock function; this system prevents wheel lock-up during heavy braking. What is ABS: ABS, short for Antilock Brake System, automatically controls the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%) to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road. What is CBS: CBS, short for Combination Braking System (Linked Braking System), allows simultaneous braking of the front and rear wheels through a single hand or foot operation. By reasonably distributing the braking force between the front and rear wheels, it achieves higher braking efficiency, resulting in greater deceleration and shorter braking distances, ensuring safe, quick, and smooth stopping of high-speed vehicles.

Why is there no air coming out of the car's air conditioning vents?

There are several main reasons why a car's air conditioning may not blow air: Blower motor failure: As the core component responsible for air output, a malfunctioning blower motor will definitely result in no airflow. Possible causes of blower motor failure include overheating damage to internal coils or capacitor failure. Owners can diagnose this issue by turning the air conditioning fan speed to maximum and listening for blower motor operation. Clogged cabin air filter: This represents the most common cause of no airflow. The cabin air filter purifies outside air before it enters the vehicle interior, but also accumulates various airborne particles, making it prone to clogging. The filter can be removed for inspection - if not excessively dirty, cleaning it with compressed air and reinstalling may resolve the vent airflow issue.

What does it mean when the car warning light comes on?

Here are the reasons why the car warning light may come on: Insufficient engine oil: Insufficient oil pressure cannot be established in the engine, and the potential danger is that the oil pump cannot supply enough oil, preventing the oil from fully covering the engine walls to form a protective film against wear. Insufficient oil pump pressure: This is a hardware failure, meaning the oil pump is faulty, damaged, stuck, or not working. It cannot deliver oil to other parts of the engine. If this is the cause, the car should be stopped as soon as possible to prevent the engine from running without oil lubrication, which could lead to dry friction. This helps avoid engine overheating, loss of power, or even severe damage like connecting rod seizure. Water temperature light or water level light: The coolant in the car's engine should never decrease because the engine's water passages are essentially sealed. In this case, it can be directly inferred that there is an issue with the cooling system.

What Causes a Sudden Increase in Fuel Consumption for Small Cars?

Reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption in small cars are as follows: Driving Habits: Poor driving habits such as sudden stops, abrupt braking, driving at high speeds in low gears, etc., can lead to higher fuel consumption. To save fuel, try to maintain a steady speed and rely on inertia for braking. Engine Carbon Buildup: Carbon buildup in the engine can also cause excessive fuel consumption. Consider purchasing car cleaning products to remove carbon deposits from the engine, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Low Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure or insufficiently inflated tires can also result in higher fuel consumption. Before driving, check the tire pressure and inflate them as needed. There are instruments available to measure tire pressure, and maintaining proper inflation can help lower fuel consumption. Overloaded Trunk: Carrying too many items in the trunk can also increase fuel consumption. Regularly clean out unnecessary items from the trunk to lighten the load, which will naturally reduce fuel consumption.

Where is the spare tire of a sedan placed?

Automobile spare tires are generally placed under the trunk mat. Some vehicles have the spare tire mounted on the rear, while others have it under the chassis. Automobile spare tire: An automobile spare tire is a backup tire prepared for use when encountering issues with the car's tires, allowing the spare to be used as a replacement. Rear-mounted spare tire: It is also quite common to place the spare tire on the rear, especially for some rugged off-road SUVs, which can further highlight their imposing presence. A spare tire mounted on the rear takes up no space at all and is relatively easy to access. However, as the saying goes, "Don't show off your wealth," this externally mounted spare tire is very susceptible to theft.

Does a small car need inspection in the 7th year?

For small passenger vehicles in the seventh year, an annual inspection is still required before the expiration of the current inspection period. However, it is no longer necessary to obtain a physical inspection sticker, as the inspection labels have been digitized nationwide. New regulations require: If the vehicle is new and within the first 6 years, it is exempt from inspection twice (every two years, an inspection mark must be applied for, but the vehicle does not need to undergo on-site testing). In the 6th and 8th years, the vehicle must undergo on-site testing. For private vehicles older than 10 years, the original inspection cycle still applies: once a year for vehicles between 10 and 15 years old, and every six months for vehicles older than 15 years. Biennial exemption within ten years: The policy of biennial exemption within ten years was implemented starting November 20, 2020. Only vehicles within ten years that undergo inspection after November 20, 2020, are eligible for biennial inspections.

Do small cars require two inspections per year after 15 years?

After a car reaches 15 years of age, it requires two inspections per year. Below is some extended knowledge about vehicle inspections: Inspection intervals: According to Article 16 of the revised "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" in October 2017, passenger transport vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years; those over 5 years must be inspected every 6 months; trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; those over 10 years must be inspected every 6 months; small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; those over 6 years must be inspected once a year; and those over 15 years must be inspected every 6 months. Vehicle inspection: This refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
