The main reasons why the air conditioner sometimes cools and sometimes does not: 1. Too much refrigerant: When the car is driving at high speed, the rotation speed is fast, the pressure of the refrigeration system is high, the compressor stops, and the air conditioning cooling stops. When the car is driving at low speed, the rotation speed is slow, the pressure of the refrigeration system is low, the pressure switch closes, the compressor works, and the cooling resumes. Therefore, the cooling is intermittent. 2. Lack of Freon: The reason for this situation is generally a leak in the pipeline of the air conditioning system. At this time, a small amount of water can be dripped at the joint of the car's refrigerant pipeline, and bubbles will appear at the leak. Find the leak location and repair it, then go to a professional car repair shop or 4S shop to add Freon. 3. Aging of the air filter element: If the car air filter element has been used for a long time, it may be the problem of the air filter element.

What is the square wave button next to the AC?

The square wave button next to the AC is the defogging and heating function button. Here are the relevant introductions: Introduction 1: There are generally two defogging buttons in a car, one is the front windshield defogging button, usually marked with a fan shape and a wave line, and the other is the rear windshield defogging button, usually marked with a square and a wave line. Introduction 2: The front windshield defogging relies on the air conditioning system, with dedicated air vents located near the front windshield on the center console. The rear windshield defogging mainly uses electric heating wires. After turning on the rear windshield defogging switch, the heating wires will generate heat, thereby achieving the purpose of helping to defog.

How to Press the Clutch Slowly and Steadily?

The method to press the clutch slowly and steadily is as follows: First, you need to master the correct posture for pressing the car clutch. Use your heel as a pivot and place the ball of your foot on the pedal. When pressing the clutch pedal, do it all the way down in one motion. When releasing the clutch pedal, the movement should be slow. While driving, there's no need to keep your left foot on the clutch pedal at all times; you can place it directly on the floor. This allows you to observe road conditions better and respond promptly in emergencies. During driving, pressing the clutch must be done quickly. After shifting gears appropriately, release the clutch slowly to avoid jerking. When downshifting, first reduce the speed by pressing the brake until the speed is within a certain range, then quickly press the clutch to change gears and slowly release the clutch.

Can the Engine Automatically Shut Off After Leaving with One-Button Start?

One-button start vehicles cannot automatically shut off the engine after the owner leaves. Below are specific reasons why the one-button start fails to detect the key: Battery Depletion: For cars with batteries older than 2 years or those parked for extended periods, you can check for battery depletion using a multimeter. Generally, the voltage should be around 12V when not in use and above 10V during ignition to rule out battery issues. Poor Fuse Contact: Lightly tap the fuse box; if the engine starts, it indicates poor fuse contact. Starter Motor Failure: If the battery has power but no sound is heard from the starter motor when pressing the ignition button, it might be a starter motor failure, requiring replacement at a repair shop.

How much pressure is required for the cylinder?

Cylinder working pressure is approximately 0.6 MPa, which equals 6 kilograms per square centimeter. If the cylinder pressure becomes unbalanced, it may cause engine knocking and power loss in the vehicle. In severe cases, it could even lead to complete engine failure. About cylinders: Cylinders are mainly divided into two categories - reciprocating linear type and reciprocating swing type. The reciprocating linear cylinders can be further classified into single-acting cylinders, double-acting cylinders, diaphragm cylinders, and double-impact cylinders. Conditions for cylinder pressure testing: 1. Ensure the vehicle battery has sufficient charge before testing, otherwise it may cause excessively low engine RPM leading to stalling in manual transmission vehicles; 2. Maintain the engine at normal operating temperature, as excessively high engine temperature will increase pressure within the engine cylinders.
