There are several reasons why the engine and brake lights are on: Handbrake engaged: Under normal circumstances of the car's braking system, the brake system warning light will only come on when the handbrake is engaged. When the handbrake is released, the light will go off. This serves as a reminder to the driver that the handbrake has been fully released before driving. Insufficient brake fluid: If the handbrake has been fully released but the brake system warning light remains on, it generally indicates that the brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is insufficient. Insufficient brake fluid or a low fluid level may lengthen the braking distance and require a greater pedal stroke to achieve a stronger braking effect, which can be dangerous. Therefore, it is best to stop the car promptly for inspection.

Compressor overheating, etc. Methods to address high pressure in car air conditioning: 1. Excessive refrigerant: Release some refrigerant or completely discharge and refill. 2. Excessive lubricant: Release refrigerant, use equipment to extract excess lubricant, then refill refrigerant. 3. Poor condenser heat dissipation: Clean surface dirt and pipelines of the condenser; inspect cooling fans which typically have high and low speed settings, checking if high speed functions. If condenser aging causes poor heat dissipation, replacement is recommended.

For car maintenance, you need to prepare the maintenance manual. Some car brands may require additional documents. If unsure, you can call to inquire about the required documents. Generally, you may need documents such as the quality guarantee certificate, first maintenance card, and vehicle license. After using the first maintenance benefits, you only need to bring the maintenance manual for subsequent maintenance. As an essential process for consumers after purchasing a car, the first maintenance is usually required at around 50,000 kilometers. For the first maintenance, users mainly need to bring the first maintenance card, and for subsequent maintenance, the maintenance manual will suffice.

How to Install Air Conditioning in a Van?

To install an air conditioning system, first mount the compressor bracket and then install the compressor. The next step is to install the evaporator assembly, followed by connecting the pipelines to complete the installation. Vans without factory air conditioning typically have pre-designed pathways for the AC pipelines, making the installation process relatively straightforward. More details are as follows: 1. Air conditioning is a crucial comfort feature in vehicles, used daily during both winter and summer. The cooling principle of air conditioning is quite simple: when the AC button is pressed, the compressor clutch engages, allowing the engine to drive the compressor. The compressor then continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. 2. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator, in turn, cools the air blown by the fan, resulting in cold air being emitted from the AC vents.
