Tachometer. Displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute. Drive at lower engine speeds in each gear whenever possible. Fuel gauge. Displays the current fuel level in the tank. Speedometer. An application for viewing driving speed, measured in kilometers per hour. Introduction to the car dashboard: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. Introduction to the tachometer: The tachometer is generally located within the instrument panel, placed symmetrically with the speedometer and odometer. The tachometer operates based on magnetic principles. It receives pulse signals generated when the primary current in the ignition coil is interrupted and converts this signal into a displayable speed value. The faster the engine speed, the more pulses the ignition coil generates, resulting in a higher displayed speed value on the gauge.

When driving the new BMW 3 Series, the dashboard display is quite intuitive. On the left is a circular speedometer with clear and easy-to-read digits, while on the right is a tachometer to help monitor engine status. In the center, there's a large screen that can switch to navigation maps, allowing you to check directions without turning your head while driving. Below the screen, fuel level and temperature are displayed, with a prompt appearing if the temperature is too low. Warning lights include indicators for abnormal oil pressure or doors left open, which will alert you when illuminated. Buttons on the steering wheel allow you to control the display content—I set the commonly used data to show speed and remaining range. Navigation projected onto the dashboard reduces distractions. You can also customize the theme color, and the soft light mode at night prevents glare. Once accustomed to it, I find this design both practical and safe, making every drive reassuring.

How many times should a car that is rarely driven be maintained in a year?

Even if a car is not driven frequently, it should still be maintained on schedule. It is recommended to perform maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. If the car does not reach 5,000 kilometers within six months, maintenance should still be carried out promptly. Below are some maintenance methods for cars that are not driven for long periods: 1. Start the vehicle regularly: If the car is not driven for an extended period, it is best to start it every one or two weeks. If possible, drive the car a short distance to prevent engine issues. 2. Take protective measures: Cover the car with a car cover and park it in a garage or on a flat surface away from direct sunlight to prevent damage to the paint or leakage of fluids. 3. Clean the vehicle in advance: Before leaving the car unused for a long time, clean both the exterior and interior. Dirt on the car's paint can damage it if left uncleaned for too long, and food left inside the car can mold and produce unpleasant odors.

How to Handle Mercedes-Benz Fault Codes 0810 and 0814?

Cleaning the engine: When the engine malfunction indicator light comes on, the owner should promptly clean the engine. It is recommended to visit a repair shop to use specialized cleaning agents to remove carbon deposits. Using higher-octane gasoline: To maintain the engine in good working condition, the owner can opt for 95 or 97 octane gasoline, which usually resolves the issue of the engine malfunction light. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Fault codes 0810 and 0814: These fault codes in Mercedes-Benz vehicles indicate engine issues. Specifically, 0810 refers to the secondary air system's air flow (bank 1) being too small, while 0814 indicates the secondary air system's air flow (bank 2) being too small. 2. Addressing lean fuel mixture faults: If the issue is caused by a clogged air filter leading to reduced fuel injection and a lean mixture, cleaning the air filter can resolve the problem of insufficient fuel injection. If the fuel pump pressure is too low, cleaning the fuel pump can address the low-pressure issue.

What documents are required to collect the inspection-exempt vehicle decal?

To collect the annual inspection decal for an inspection-exempt vehicle, you need to bring the vehicle registration certificate, the owner's ID card, and a copy of the compulsory insurance policy for the current year. Below are the inspection details: 1. Purpose: The initial inspection conducted to apply for a vehicle license plate is called the first annual inspection. The purpose of the first annual inspection is to verify whether the vehicle meets the conditions for license plate application. 2. Check factory documents: Verify the presence of the vehicle user manual, certificate of conformity (import vehicles require commodity inspection certificates), and whether the factory inspection marks on the vehicle body are complete. 3. Vehicle body inspection: Measure the external and internal contour dimensions, track width, and wheelbase of the vehicle. Specific measurement items include vehicle length, width, height, cargo compartment sideboard height and area, track width, and wheelbase.

Can the ECO mode be kept on all the time?

The ECON mode in a car can be kept on continuously. It is the vehicle's energy-saving mode, and this button can turn the energy-saving mode on or off. Modern cars generally offer three driving modes to choose from: Eco mode, Comfort mode, and Sport mode. Below is information about these three modes: Eco mode: When the car is in this mode, fuel consumption is relatively low. In this state, the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal decreases, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively. Comfort mode: This mode can be considered a normal operating mode for the car. When in this mode, the accelerator pedal response is more sensitive than in Eco mode. Sport mode: Sport mode can be used during aggressive driving. After activating Sport mode, the accelerator pedal response becomes very sensitive, and the transmission delays shifting. The transmission only shifts up when the engine speed reaches the redline. After switching to Sport mode, the engine speed is maintained at around 3,000 RPM, ensuring better power response during acceleration. When a car enters ECON mode, it can achieve reduced fuel consumption and energy savings, but the vehicle's power output will be weaker. ECON can be understood as an abbreviation for 'economy.' In most cases, it is recommended to keep ECON mode on. Only when high torque output is needed (such as when climbing a hill) or when driving at very high speeds should ECON mode be turned off. Pressing the ECON button activates the low-carbon, eco-friendly driving mode. Subsequently, the ECU, engine, and transmission intelligently execute the driver's intentions in the most fuel-efficient manner, achieving optimal fuel economy through quick upshifts and smooth acceleration. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal deeply, the ECON system effectively controls the opening and closing of the intake valves to ensure smooth engine operation and energy savings. Although ECON mode is simple and effective to operate, it may not function under certain conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, priority is given to speed, and the energy-saving mode automatically deactivates. This means that if the speed exceeds the economical range (typically between 60-90 km/h), the ECON mode will not save fuel. The key to ECON mode is its operation via the car's computer during driving to ensure effectiveness. Therefore, it does not work when the car is idling, parked, or in N, P, or manual mode.

Can the sidewall of a tire be repaired with hot vulcanization?

The sidewall of a tire can be repaired with hot vulcanization if the damage is minor, but severe damage requires a tire replacement at a professional shop. Below are 6 key aspects of tire maintenance: 1. Tire Rotation: Rotate tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue, prevent uneven wear, and extend tire lifespan. 2. Wheel Alignment: Check every 30,000 kilometers. Changes in wheel alignment parameters can cause abnormal tire wear. 3. Tire Pressure Check: Inspect tire pressure monthly. If tire pressure drops too quickly, visit a local tire shop for inspection to avoid further damage. 4. Tire Balancing: Prevents steering wheel vibration at high speeds. If the steering wheel vibrates above 70 km/h, perform a tire balancing check immediately. 5. Tread Depth Inspection: Replace tires when they wear down to the tread wear indicators. Driving with tires beyond these indicators in wet conditions is extremely dangerous due to significantly reduced drainage and compromised wet traction. 6. Rubber Condition: Over time, rubber ages and cracks. If aging or cracking is detected during inspection, replace the tires promptly.
