Loosen the alternator mounting bolts and the belt tension adjustment bolts. Push the alternator towards the engine to minimize the distance between the pulleys, then place the belt onto the pulleys and align it properly. Adjust the belt tension to the appropriate level, then tighten the alternator mounting bolts and the adjustment bolts.

Is it necessary to replace halogen bulbs?

Halogen bulbs do not need to be replaced. Vehicles with modified lighting will not pass the annual inspection, and in the event of an accident, the insurance company will only compensate for the original halogen bulbs or may not compensate at all. The principle of halogen bulbs is to inject halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament reacts chemically with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle that prevents the filament from breaking prematurely. Precautions for using halogen bulbs: 1. Turn off the power when installing, and use a plastic sleeve to keep the glass shell of the bulb clean. Do not touch it with your hands. If accidentally touched, clean it with alcohol; 2. When the halogen bulb is lit, avoid direct cold air blowing onto the bulb.

Where is the onboard computer of the X-Trail located?

The body computer of the X-Trail is located in the heat shield near the cabin in the engine compartment. Function of the onboard computer: The onboard computer is a specialized tool developed for the unique operating environment and electrical circuit characteristics of automobiles. It is a dedicated automotive information product with features such as high-temperature resistance, dust resistance, shock resistance, and integration with the vehicle's electronic circuits. The onboard computer is generally used to calculate instantaneous fuel consumption, driving distance, temperature, average speed, average fuel consumption, etc. Some models also include functions like maintenance reminders and driver rest alerts. Cars equipped with onboard computers: Not all fuel-injected vehicles have an onboard computer. Many modern cars come with an onboard computer, though some may have limited functionality. Most modern cars are fuel-injected, and even older carburetor-equipped high-end models may have an onboard computer. Typically, the onboard computer is located on the dashboard or center console with a small screen to display information.

How is speeding calculated in speed camera enforcement?

On highways, speed enforcement typically includes fixed-point speed cameras, mobile speed cameras, and average speed measurement over a distance. When driving on highways, considering factors like overtaking, speeding is generally not counted if the vehicle's speed does not exceed 10% of the speed limit indicated on highway signs. Below are relevant details: 1. Speeding penalties: Less than 10% over results only in a warning without fines or penalty points; 10% to 20% over incurs a 50 yuan fine and 3 penalty points; 20% to 50% over results in 6 penalty points and a 200 yuan fine; 50% to 70% over leads to a 1000 yuan fine and 12 penalty points; exceeding 70% over results in license suspension and a 2000 yuan fine. 2. Precautions: Speeding is extremely dangerous. To avoid severe traffic accidents, drivers should maintain the normal regulated speed.

Where is the rearview mirror heating for the Song MAX?

The rearview mirror heating switch for the Song MAX is the same as the rear windshield defogger switch, both located in the air conditioning control interface of the central multimedia screen. Function of rearview mirror heating: Maintains clear rearview mirrors during rainy or foggy weather. The working principle of the rearview mirror heating function involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror of the side rearview mirror. Method of rearview mirror heating: It heats the rearview mirror through electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror, ensuring the mirror surface remains clear. Currently, mid-to-high-end vehicles in China are equipped with this heating function for rearview mirrors. It's important to note that some vehicles' rearview mirror heating only activates when the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius. Therefore, if the rearview mirror heating doesn't work sometimes, the first consideration should be whether the outdoor temperature is too high.
