Honda CR-V's engine oil dilution issue can be resolved as follows: Dongfeng Honda has recalled 130,455 units of the 2018 CR-V models equipped with the 1.5T engine, produced between February 14, 2017, and February 27, 2018. For the recalled vehicles, the company will provide free replacement of the air conditioning control unit, upgrade the FI-ECU software, replace the engine oil and oil filter, and add engine cleaner. Additionally, for models equipped with CVT transmissions, the lower radiator hose assembly will be replaced, and the TCU software will be upgraded to suppress the increase in engine oil level and eliminate potential safety hazards.

What does it mean when the yellow light on the fuel gauge illuminates?

The yellow light on the fuel gauge illuminating indicates the following two situations: 1. When starting the vehicle's power supply, a self-check will be performed and then the light will go out, which is normal. The first scenario is when the car's power is turned on, the vehicle conducts a self-check. During this time, not only the engine yellow light but also other fault lights will illuminate simultaneously, then they will all turn off. This is a normal occurrence. 2. If the yellow light remains on after the car is started, it indicates an engine fault. The second scenario is when the car is started, and the engine fault yellow light stays on. This is the ECU alerting that there is a fault in the engine, which is an abnormal condition.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Panamera?

According to official data, the Panamera comes with two engine displacements: 2.9T and 4.0T. The 2.9T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, while the 4.0T model achieves it in 3.2 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the Patrol 4.0 has a maximum torque of 394 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds, while the Panamera 2.9T boasts a maximum torque of 450 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Panamera is equipped with an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is known as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Panamera 2.9T has a power-to-weight ratio of 176.47 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.6 seconds, while the Patrol 4.0 has a power-to-weight ratio of 109 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds.

Do Electric Vehicles Need Chips?

Electric vehicles need chips. Only the early-produced purely mechanical cars do not require chips, but now they are necessary. Reasons for the chip shortage: The shortage of automotive chips is mainly caused by multiple factors, including upstream chip manufacturers suspending production due to the pandemic, strikes at STMicroelectronics, and shutdowns at chip assembly factories in Southeast Asia, leading to a severe global semiconductor shortage. Among these, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and the Intelligent Engine Control System (ECO) are the two modules most affected by the automotive chip shortage. Domestic chip suppliers: Currently, the main suppliers for domestic automakers are Continental Group and Bosch. ESP and ECO are "standard features" in many high-end models, and quite a few automakers have been affected by the chip supply disruption.

What is the fault when the gear indicator light on the dashboard flashes?

The flashing of the gear indicator on the dashboard can be divided into two situations: the gear flashes, but the vehicle can drive normally without any abnormalities; or the gear flashes, and the vehicle cannot shift gears. The former is a normal phenomenon, while the latter requires professional repair shop inspection. Gear flashing is generally caused by the driver shifting gears without stepping on the brake or not pressing the brake fully before shifting. Solution: Follow standard operating procedures when shifting gears. Press the brake fully before shifting. Another possibility is that the transmission needs an upgrade. The transmission upgrade mentioned here does not refer to replacing the transmission, but rather upgrading the vehicle's computer that controls the transmission. The specific cause can only be determined after inspection by professionals. If you encounter this situation in reality and cannot resolve it yourself, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to identify the cause as soon as possible.

Does a B2 driver's license require annual review if there are no demerit points?

B2 license without demerit points does not require annual inspection. Requirements for B2 driver's license annual review: The B2 driver's license implements an annual review, which must be completed within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle at the local vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, if there is no cumulative demerit point record during the current scoring cycle, the review for that cycle can be exempted. No demerit points mean no review required: If there are consistently no demerit points, then no review is needed until the license renewal upon expiration. The B2 driver's license requires submitting a medical examination form to the vehicle management office within 15 days after the initial issuance each year. Otherwise, if not submitted for one year past the deadline, the vehicle management office will automatically revoke the driver's license.

How Often Should Car Key Batteries Be Replaced?

Car key batteries should be replaced every 2-3 years. Remote key battery lifespan: Generally, the lifespan of a car remote key battery is 2-3 years, depending on usage frequency. Different car models may vary, making it difficult to determine the exact replacement time. When the control distance of the car key is less than half of the maximum remote range, or less than about six meters, the battery should be replaced promptly. Signs of a low battery: The effective range of the car key remote decreases. Previously, the car door could be unlocked within a distance of 6 meters, but when the battery is low, you need to get closer to the car, or even stand right next to the door for it to respond. This indicates that the car key battery is running low.
