Here are the reasons why the car won't start: 1. First, check the spark plugs. Since spark plugs are crucial to the car's ignition system, and the ignition system is key to the engine's operation, the performance of the spark plugs directly affects the overall working performance and efficiency of the vehicle. 2. Battery depletion – The symptoms include the starter motor turning but not fast enough (lacking power), and eventually, the starter motor only makes a clicking sound without turning. Low temperatures in winter or forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can prevent the car from starting, especially when the vehicle is used for short, low-speed trips over a long period in winter, causing the battery voltage to drop below the rated value. If this happens, call the service station for assistance, jump-start the car, or temporarily start it, and then make sure to recharge the battery at the service station. 3. Fuel flow blockage – The symptom is no oil pressure in the engine's fuel supply line. This situation often occurs on extremely cold mornings due to long-term dirt buildup in the fuel lines. When temperatures are extremely low, water and debris mix and block the fuel lines, preventing the car from starting. Emergency solutions: Move the car to a warmer environment, and it should start after a while; or thoroughly clean the fuel lines to resolve the issue.

What are the components of the piston connecting rod assembly?

The piston connecting rod assembly mainly consists of the piston, piston rings, piston pin, connecting rod, and connecting rod bearing shells. Here is a detailed introduction to the piston connecting rod assembly: 1. Working principle: The piston connecting rod assembly converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, while transforming the force acting on the piston into the torque output by the crankshaft, thereby driving the rotation of the vehicle's wheels. 2. Pressure transmission: The piston connecting rod assembly serves as the transmission component of the engine, transferring the pressure of the combustion gases to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to rotate and output power. 3. Common faults of the piston connecting rod assembly: Due to oil starvation, issues such as damage to the connecting rod bearing shells, piston cylinder collision, cylinder head collision, connecting rod crankshaft damage, piston ring breakage, and excessive piston clearance may occur.

Do pure electric vehicles require annual inspection?

New energy pure electric vehicles do require annual inspections. Whether it's a pure fuel-powered model, an electric model, or a hybrid model, private passenger vehicles need to undergo on-site testing after six years of use. Non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspections between 6 and 15 years of use, and after 15 years, they need to be inspected every 6 months. Therefore, new energy pure electric vehicles also require annual inspections, although the inspection content differs. Annual inspection time regulations: The first annual inspection for passenger cars is conducted when they reach six years of use. Non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles, including family cars over 6 years but under 10 years old, require biennial inspections. For vehicles exactly six years old, the annual inspection requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station with the owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. After passing the inspection, a certificate will be issued, which, along with the other documents, must be presented at the relevant window to obtain the annual inspection sticker.

What does the D gear plus and minus mean?

D gear plus and minus mean The "+" and "-" signs next to the D gear are unique functions of manual-automatic transmission models, which are used for upshifting or downshifting in the manual mode of the transmission. The manual mode is often marked as M gear or S gear. Many people drive manual-automatic transmission cars in D gear all the time, not knowing when to switch to M gear, thinking that they have to wait until the car stops to switch. In fact, it is not necessary, and you can switch from D gear to M gear at any time. The following is an introduction to the S gear: 1. Introduction: It keeps the engine at high speed for a long time, allowing the car to move at high speed in low gear for a long time, thereby obtaining greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Precautions: Because the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working links, it will inevitably increase the load of the transmission in a short time, and the temperature will also rise accordingly, and the wear will also increase. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for a long time.

How to Replace the Battery in a Trumpchi GS4 Key?

On the back of the remote battery, press the button in the direction indicated by the arrow and pull the mechanical key outward. The mechanical key can be used to open the car door when the smart key runs out of battery, but it cannot start the engine. After removing the mechanical key, you can open the remote key by using your fingernail to pry open the gap on the side of the key—it's not complicated. Once opened, you will see the battery compartment on the back cover. Follow the instructions to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Then, close the back cover and reassemble the key. Here is some additional information: Trumpchi GS4: The new GS4 has undergone adjustments and upgrades in its detailed design. The most significant changes to the front face come from the headlights and fog lights, with overall lines appearing more youthful and sporty. The rear changes also focus on the light clusters, with large-sized light strips enhancing the rear's recognizability. The new Trumpchi GS4 still uses the 1.3T and 1.5T engines, with maximum power outputs of 101kW (137PS) and 112kW (152PS), respectively. The transmission options have been upgraded to include a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 7-speed dual-clutch.

Is it mandatory to wear seat belts in the back seat on highways?

The back seat passengers must wear seat belts on highways. The function of seat belts is: in the event of a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pre-tensioning device will instantly retract, tightening the slack seat belt, firmly securing the passenger to the seat to prevent secondary collisions. Precautions for driving on highways include: 1. The driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver must not answer phone calls; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 4. When overtaking, only the adjacent lane may be used. After overtaking, immediately return to the driving lane. Vehicles must not straddle or drive on the lane dividing line; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, make U-turns or turns by crossing the central divider, conduct test drives or drive training vehicles, or overtake or park on ramps; 6. Maintain a following distance of more than 100 meters. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters.
