The reason why the engine fault light sometimes turns on and sometimes off is: there is a fault in the engine. When it does not affect normal driving, the engine fault light will turn off, and when there is a fault, it will light up yellow or red. The methods to eliminate the engine fault light are: 1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it to eliminate the fault; 2. Go to a 4S shop for detection and elimination. The methods to maintain the engine are: 1. Use high-quality engine oil; 2. Use qualified coolant; 3. Regularly clean the water tank scale; 4. Regularly remove carbon deposits from the car; 5. Replace the car's three filters on time; 6. Maintain a reasonable engine speed.

What to Do When an In-Dash Car CD Player Won't Eject the Disc?

If the in-dash car CD player won't eject the disc, you should visit a 4S shop to seek professional assistance. Here are the correct methods for using a car CD player: 1. Start the CD player when the car is running normally. It is not recommended to turn on the CD player when starting the car, as the high current may damage the CD player. 2. Adjust the volume from low to high, not the other way around. Starting with high volume can easily damage the speaker coil. 3. Avoid frequently changing discs while driving. Frequent disc changes can cause mechanical misalignment and damage the tray mechanism of the player, especially when changing discs on bumpy roads. 4. Turn off the CD player or lower the volume before parking and turning off the engine. 5. The optimal volume range is between 1/3 and 2/3. Volumes that are too high or too low can accelerate the aging of the speakers and amplifier due to excessive load and may also harm your hearing.

What to Do When the Brake Pedal Is Hard and Difficult to Press?

Here are the solutions for a hard and difficult-to-press brake pedal: 1. Try restarting the engine and press the brake pedal firmly. After starting, the brake should return to normal. 2. If the brake does not return to normal after several attempts, find a nearby repair shop to resolve the issue before continuing to drive. Below is some related information about brakes: 1. During low-speed driving, emergency braking can be applied by pressing the brake pedal firmly if there is a sudden event ahead. However, this should not be done at high speeds to avoid vehicle skidding or rollover. 2. For normal road conditions, gradual braking is recommended. Press the clutch pedal while releasing the accelerator pedal, shift to a lower gear, and once the speed decreases, release the clutch pedal and press the brake pedal until the vehicle stops. 3. On long downhill slopes in mountainous areas or during continuous braking, which can generate high temperatures, intermittent braking—alternately pressing and releasing the brake pedal—can effectively prevent the braking system from overheating.

What maintenance is required for a car after driving 20,000 kilometers?

For a car that has driven 20,000 kilometers, the following maintenance items are required: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter. Due to the harsh high-temperature and high-pressure environment inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance degrades substantially. Over time, it can no longer protect the engine effectively. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the oil, which can cause oxidation, leading to the formation of sludge and clogging the oil passages. Therefore, both the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced simultaneously. 2. Replace the air filter. If it was not replaced during the 10,000-kilometer maintenance, it must be replaced at the 20,000-kilometer mark. The air filter's function is to block dust and particles from being sucked into the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, dust can enter the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. 3. If the car uses standard spark plugs, preparations should be made to replace them at the 20,000-kilometer mark. Spark plugs directly affect the engine's acceleration performance and fuel consumption. When you feel a lack of engine power, maintenance should be performed. The lifespan of spark plugs varies depending on their material.

What is an Inventory Car?

There is no clear legal definition for an inventory car. It generally refers to vehicles that have been manufactured for more than 12 months. Here is some relevant information: 1. In fact, there is no need to distinguish whether it is an inventory car or not. The manufacturing date of the vehicle is clearly stated on the vehicle nameplate, and dealers will not hide the identity of an inventory car because it is impossible to conceal. 2. What needs to be determined is whether the car has been properly maintained during its inventory period. The quality of maintenance has a significant impact on the condition of the car. This determines whether you are buying a new car with a longer age or a used car with zero kilometers.

Why can't the car start suddenly?

If the car suddenly doesn't respond when starting, it could be due to partial circuit issues or a dead battery. Here is relevant information about the battery: 1. The battery is a crucial component of the vehicle. When the engine is not started, the battery powers all electronic devices in the car and is also responsible for starting the engine. 2. After starting the engine, the alternator takes over to power all electronic devices and simultaneously charges the battery. Most vehicle batteries last 3 to 4 years and require regular replacement. 3. When the engine is not running, avoid sitting in the car for extended periods using electronic devices as this will shorten the battery's lifespan. 4. During winter, try to avoid parking the car outdoors overnight. Low outdoor temperatures in winter may make it difficult to start the engine the next morning if left outside overnight.

Does a Baby Count as Overcrowding?

A baby counts as overloading. According to the provisions of traffic laws, the criterion for determining overloading is the number of passengers, and there is no exception for children.

Article 92 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that if a passenger vehicle carries more than the rated number of passengers, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan shall be imposed; if the number exceeds 20% of the rated capacity or if goods are carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan shall be imposed. 2. If a freight motor vehicle exceeds the approved load capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan shall be imposed; if the load exceeds 30% of the approved capacity or if passengers are carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan shall be imposed. For the above two violations, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle until the illegal status is rectified. 3. If a transport unit’s vehicle falls under the circumstances described in the first or second paragraph and fails to rectify after punishment, the directly responsible person in charge shall be fined 2,000 to 5,000 yuan.
