The reasons why the hood secondary lock won't latch properly: It could be that the release handle inside the cabin is stuck and hasn't returned to its original position. It might also be due to rust or debris stuck in the locking mechanism. If there was a front-end collision, it's possible that misaligned body panels are causing the latch and lock mechanism to not align properly. Hood: Made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, it reduces engine noise while simultaneously isolating heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint surface on the hood and preventing aging. Assisted driving visibility: During driving, the driver's front view and natural light reflection are crucial for correctly judging road conditions. The hood's shape can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, thereby reducing the impact of light on the driver.

What does the circle with an exclamation mark mean on the car display?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly signaling a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark representing braking system issues, other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, indicating general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault source. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Can I Enjoy the Three Guarantees Without Maintenance at a 4S Shop?

Not going to a 4S shop for maintenance does not affect the three guarantees. As long as the first maintenance of a new car is done at a 4S shop, subsequent maintenance can be performed elsewhere without losing the three guarantees. However, if a new car owner fails to have the first maintenance done at the designated 4S shop or manufacturer-authorized service station within the specified mileage, and the car develops issues, even within the warranty period, the owner may have to bear certain repair costs. Below is relevant information: 1. During the warranty period: During the car's warranty period, as long as the fault or part damage occurs under normal usage conditions as specified, the manufacturer will provide free repair or replacement of corresponding parts. 3. Three guarantees policy: The car three guarantees policy is a retail business practice where the seller provides 'repair, replacement, and refund' guarantees for sold products.

What is the purpose of cleaning a car's three-way catalytic converter?

The purpose of cleaning a car's three-way catalytic converter is: 1. To help improve the performance of the vehicle's engine; 2. To reduce frequent alarms from the exhaust system's oxygen sensor. The three-way catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the car's exhaust system, which can convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides emitted from the car's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. The steps for cleaning the three-way catalytic converter are: 1. Use a lift to raise the vehicle and remove the three-way catalytic converter; 2. Soak and clean the three-way catalytic converter with an oxalic acid solution, then rinse it with clean water; 3. Reinstall the cleaned three-way catalytic converter and start the vehicle for a test run.

Why is the Chevrolet Cavalier being recalled?

Cavalier recall is primarily due to poor actual vehicle quality. The recall involves certain 2017 model year manual transmission Chevrolet Cavalier vehicles produced between July 5, 2016, and December 17, 2016, totaling 18,187 units. The main reason for this recall is: clutch failure, difficulty in shifting gears, posing safety hazards. Subsequent production models no longer have these issues. Below is relevant information about the Cavalier: 1. Exterior: The Cavalier features Chevrolet's signature dual-layer front grille with a new "Gale" gradient texture inside, adding a touch of dynamism compared to current Chevrolet models. Additionally, the headlight assembly is adorned with chrome trim and innovative double-L-shaped LED daytime running lights, which are standard across all models. 2. Performance: The new Cavalier Redline Edition employs General Motors' industry-leading Smart Propulsion technology in its all-new drivetrain system, equipped with GM's eighth-generation Ecotec 325T intelligent direct-injection turbo engine paired with a 6-speed DSS automatic manual transmission. This engine delivers a maximum rated output of 92 kW and generates peak torque of 180 N·m across a broad platform range of 1,350-4,000 rpm. Moreover, the new vehicle achieves a combined fuel consumption as low as 4.9L per 100 km, meeting China's National VI emission standards.

Can I Change the Antifreeze Myself?

You can add car antifreeze yourself. Yes, as long as the colors match, you can add it directly. Method for Adding Antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe is named for its five connecting interfaces to various parts of the car. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe and is distributed to different parts of the vehicle to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this section, replace the water pipe or resecure the interface as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue pouring water into the reservoir until it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Don’t forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater. Antifreeze Composition: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances, including color-distinguishing additives.
