ABS in a car stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During braking, it automatically controls the braking force to prevent the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of around 20%). This ensures maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface. The ABS system helps avoid loss of steering control and wheel skidding during emergency braking by preventing the wheels from locking up. It prevents the tires from rubbing against the ground at a single point, thereby increasing friction and achieving a braking efficiency of over 90%. Additionally, it reduces brake wear and extends the service life of brake drums, discs, and tires by up to twice as long.

What does it mean when the car's internal circulation light is on?

The internal circulation light being on indicates that the internal circulation mode is activated. Internal circulation button: If the internal and external circulation buttons are separate, each controls its respective circulation state. The light being on means that function mode is active. If the internal and external circulation functions are on the same button, when the indicator light is on, it is in internal circulation mode. When the indicator light is off, it is in external circulation mode. Function of internal circulation: The purpose of the air conditioning internal circulation mode is to prevent outside air from entering the car. When the outside temperature is very high or very low, selecting the air internal circulation mode allows the air conditioning system to operate in this mode for a short time, quickly lowering or raising the temperature inside the car. If equipped with an air quality sensor, when the system detects an increase in the concentration of harmful substances in the outside air, it will immediately and automatically activate the air internal circulation mode to prevent outside air from being drawn into the car. Once the concentration of harmful substances in the outside air decreases to normal levels, the system will immediately and automatically turn off the air internal circulation mode, allowing fresh air to enter the car again.

Can the EA211 spark plug not use double platinum?

EA211 spark plugs cannot use double platinum. Spark plugs, commonly known as spark plugs, function by discharging the high-voltage pulse electricity delivered by the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. The following is an introduction to spark plugs: 1. Main types: The main types include standard spark plugs, insulator-protruding spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-ignition spark plugs, among others. 2. Function: The function of a spark plug is to introduce tens of thousands of volts of high voltage into the combustion chamber and generate an electric spark to ignite the mixed gas. Together with the ignition system and fuel supply system, it determines the engine's performance to a large extent. The spark plug's electrode repeatedly and continuously generates sparks to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder. Meanwhile, other parts of the ignition system produce high-voltage pulses at the right timing, forming sparks and generating explosions to provide the energy required for the engine's power output.

What Causes a Car's Air Conditioning to Turn On Automatically?

The reason a car's air conditioning turns on automatically is that the air conditioning was not turned off before parking the car. Check if the timer switch option on the air conditioning remote control is in the open state; if so, adjust it to the closed state. Functions of Car Air Conditioning: The primary functions are cooling and heating. Air conditioning is a comfort feature, and equipping a car with air conditioning enhances comfort during driving or riding, improving safe driving. The presence of an air conditioning system has become one of the indicators of whether a car is fully equipped. The air conditioner can remove moisture from the air. Dry air absorbs human sweat, creating a more comfortable environment. Precautions for Using Car Air Conditioning: Shortly after entering the car, you should open the windows or activate the external circulation ventilation system. Drivers should not sleep or rest for extended periods with the windows closed. When using the air conditioning, avoid prolonged use of the internal and external air recirculation mode. During long-distance driving, change the air periodically, as poor air circulation in a confined space can lead to breathing difficulties for the occupants over time.

What Causes Small Yellow Spots on Cars?

The formation of small yellow spots on cars is caused by iron particles. These yellow spots occur when iron particles in the air adhere to the car's paint surface due to static electricity. Formation of Car Rust: The primary cause of rust is the reaction of iron metal with moisture and oxygen in the environment, especially in the presence of carbon impurities. Iron oxide is used industrially in paints, inks, rubber (as a catalyst), and as a polishing agent for glass, gemstones, and metals. It can also serve as a raw material for iron smelting. The largest application of iron oxide is as a pigment. Methods to Remove Car Rust: Use acidic substances to remove rust, such as dilute hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, or household vinegar (acetic acid). However, be cautious not to overuse these substances, as they may cause secondary corrosion and require proper maintenance. Alternatively, use detergents or toothpaste to remove rust. Apply bathroom cleaner or toothpaste with a soft cloth and rub repeatedly on the rusted areas for effective results. Some cleaning powders mainly contain sodium bicarbonate (industrial baking soda), surfactants, a small amount of clay for adsorption, fine sand for increased friction, and a small amount of alkali for enhanced cleaning power. However, these powders can be corrosive and may cause fine scratches on the car's surface.

Is there a requirement for RPM in Subject 3?

Subject 3 has requirements for RPM. According to the examination requirements in different regions, the RPM should generally be controlled around 1000~1500 during gear shifting in the Subject 3 test. The following are the contents of the driving license test: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. 2. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The test items include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 80. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skill test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the road driving skill test in the motor vehicle driver's test, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90.

What are the reasons for the reversing camera turning black and white?

The reasons for the reversing camera turning black and white are as follows: 1. Vehicle computer crash: Nowadays, vehicles have many electronic components, especially with the continuous updates and iterations of car connectivity systems. Many vehicles have complex multimedia systems, leading to an increased likelihood of dashboard screen malfunctions. You can try turning off and restarting the vehicle and the onboard computer to see if the screen display can be restored. If repeated attempts fail to resolve the issue, it is necessary to visit a 4S store for inspection, refreshing, or repair of the relevant module. 2. Loose or detached wiring clips: Many wiring connections are made through direct plug-in clips. When encountering bumpy roads or due to original installation quality issues, clips may become loose or detached, causing the dashboard screen to malfunction. This can only be resolved by visiting a 4S store or repair shop to open the back of the screen and reinsert the clips tightly. 3. Failure of the car multimedia module: This situation is relatively common. Sometimes, due to the abundance of electronic products in the car, the content displayed on the large screen becomes too much, leading to interference between internal modules. This can easily cause issues with the car multimedia system. Repeated restarts may not help, and the only solutions are to restore factory settings or visit a 4S store for a software refresh.
