When the EPC light of Refine is on, it may indicate the following two issues: 1. Dirty throttle valve, which should be cleaned. 2. Brake light not working, requiring bulb replacement or inspection of the brake switch and wiring. Here are some relevant details: 1. A constantly illuminated EPC warning light indicates a fault in the engine management system or electronic control, often accompanied by unstable idling or cold start engine vibrations. For domestic car owners, this is usually caused by the quality of fuel and dirty driving conditions. It is recommended to drive to a service station as soon as possible for inspection, and cleaning the throttle valve can resolve the issue. 2. The EPC indicator light will illuminate when the ignition is turned on for a function check. If this light comes on while driving, it indicates a fault in the engine power electronic control system. The engine must be checked immediately.

Why does BYD DM-i not have a transmission?

BYD's DM-i technology is an improvement based on Honda's i-MMD technology as pure electric vehicle technology continues to mature, relying more on batteries and electric motors, thus eliminating the need for a transmission. Below is relevant information about BYD: It can meet requirements: If BYD requires rapid acceleration at high speeds, the electric motor will cooperate to drive, which can also meet the demand. However, the efficiency of the motor decreases at high speeds, making it difficult for DM-i technology to accelerate again at high speeds. Economy: BYD is more suitable for urban use primarily, but it can also handle highway and long-distance driving when necessary, though it does not meet the demands of aggressive driving. For conditions requiring prolonged high-power driving, such as extended ultra-high-speed driving, DM-i technology is not up to the task. Adapting to normal driving: Essentially, vehicles with DM-i technology will only enter the engine direct-drive state at speeds above 80. According to highway and road design standards, speeds above 80 km/h are unlikely to encounter significant gradients, and it's impossible to maintain speeds above 80 km/h when climbing steep slopes. Therefore, this technology has no problem adapting to normal driving needs.

Should the car's heating system use internal or external air circulation?

When using the car's heating system, it is advisable to alternate between internal and external air circulation depending on the situation. Introduction to internal and external air circulation in cars: Internal air circulation in a car refers to the recirculation of air within the cabin. In this mode, the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the vehicle is closed. Without the fan running, there is no airflow circulation. When the fan is on, the air drawn in comes solely from inside the vehicle, creating an internal airflow cycle. External air circulation mode uses the fan to draw air from outside the vehicle into the cabin, allowing air to flow between the exterior and interior. The air blown by the fan comes from outside, and while driving, fresh air is continuously drawn into the cabin, replenishing the interior with fresh air. Whether to use internal or external air circulation when using the car's heating system depends on the situation: When driving in congested urban areas, it is recommended to use internal air circulation with the heating system. On highways or during long-distance driving, using external air circulation with the heating system helps replenish fresh air inside the cabin, which is beneficial for the health of the passengers.

Can Apple Phones Use BYD's NFC Car Key?

BYD's NFC car key is not compatible with Apple phones. Here are the details about BYD's NFC: Supported Models: NFC is a contactless identification and interconnection technology. BYD's NFC car key is supported on models such as the Song PRO and Qin PRO. Principle: Each vehicle corresponds to a unique NFC near-field communication password, which is bound to a mobile phone. As long as you carry the phone, the vehicle will automatically recognize your identity and grant permissions such as unlocking the doors and starting the vehicle. Unlocking Method: In anti-theft mode, remote start mode, Bluetooth start mode, or remote control start mode, place the top back of the phone near the command area on the left front exterior rearview mirror to unlock all doors simultaneously. After unlocking, you have 10 minutes to start the vehicle. If the vehicle is not started within this time, you will need to swipe the card again. Functionality: Through the app, you can also obtain real-time vehicle information, such as fuel level and interior temperature, and support remote start. If a friend needs to borrow the car, simply share the NFC password, eliminating worries about forgetting the key.

What is the standard for matching engine speed with gear?

The standard for matching engine speed with gear is approximately 1000-1500 RPM at 10 km/h, suitable for shifting to second gear. When the speed reaches 30 km/h, it's appropriate to shift to third gear. At 40 km/h, shifting to fourth gear is recommended. When the engine speed is around 2500-3000 RPM, shift to fifth gear. Driving Modes: Launch Mode: Maintain the engine speed at around 4000 RPM. At this point, the torque output is at its maximum. When the clutch is released, the car will launch with the strongest burst of power, and the drive wheels may slightly spin. However, if the throttle is well-controlled, idling can be minimized as much as possible. Cornering Mode: If the throttle is opened too wide during a turn, high-powered rear-wheel-drive cars may experience tailspin or even spin out, so the speed should not be too high, depending on the horsepower. For a front-wheel-drive car like the 206, even with the throttle pressed, there's no issue at higher speeds, as front-wheel-drive cars have better directional correction capability. Snow/Ice Mode: Avoid skidding as much as possible. Apply less throttle when starting, or even start at a near-idle speed. In lower gears, the speed generally should not exceed 3000 km/h.

What do the car light indicators represent?

Car light switch indicators represent the position light, high beam, fog light, turn signal, and handbrake indicator. Position light: The position light indicates the working status of the vehicle's position lights. It is usually off and lights up when the headlights or position lights are turned on. High beam: The high beam indicator shows the status of the vehicle's high beam. The high beam indicator is usually blue in color, making it easy to recognize. Normally, this indicator is off. Fog light: The fog light indicates the working status of the front and rear fog lights. When the front or rear fog lights are turned on, the corresponding indicator lights up. The indicator turns off when the fog lights are turned off. Turn signal: The turn signal indicates the position of the vehicle's turn signals. It is usually off. When the driver activates the turn signal, the corresponding turn signal indicator flashes to indicate the direction of the turn, reminding the driver that the turn signal is in use. Handbrake indicator: The handbrake indicator shows the status of the vehicle's handbrake. It is usually off. When the handbrake is engaged, the indicator automatically lights up.
