The reasons why the Trumpchi GS5 won't start are as follows: 1. No gasoline. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, it naturally won't start. 2. Dead battery. This could be due to leaving headlights on for too long or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It's generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. If the vehicle has no power, you can press the horn to check. 3. Incorrect gear position. For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be in P or N position to start. If it's in R or D position, the vehicle won't start. Some manual transmission vehicles also won't start if the clutch isn't depressed. Apart from improper human operation, other possible causes include starter motor failure, fuel pump supply issues, injector problems, or sensor failures. For these more complex situations, professional assistance is required.

Where is the trunk drain outlet located?

The trunk drain outlet is generally located beneath the spare tire in the trunk. Below is some additional information about vehicle drain outlets: 1. Drain outlets prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle body during rainy conditions and discharge liquids from the interior to the exterior. 2. Vehicle drain outlets may also be distributed in areas such as the fuel tank cap, engine compartment, lower door panels, sunroof, etc. Extended content: Two methods for dealing with clogged drain outlets are: 1. Air inflation method. Use an air pump gun to direct high-pressure airflow at the drainage holes of the two front sunroof drain pipes to clear the blockages. Cover with a cloth to prevent strong airflow from splashing dirty water onto yourself or the car interior. Be cautious not to use excessive air pressure, as it may cause rubber joints or drain pipes to detach, leading to continued leakage. 2. Injection method. Using a syringe to flush the drain pipe should help restore its flow. First, extract water from the sunroof drainage channel with the syringe to prevent water from flowing into the vehicle interior through the channel.

What is the reason for no dripping water when car cooling is functioning properly?

The reasons why a car's air conditioning does not drip water may include: the car's air conditioning is not cold enough, so no condensation forms on the evaporator; the drain pipe under the air conditioning evaporator is blocked, preventing water from draining out; or the air conditioning refrigeration is not turned on or has malfunctioned. It is best to have it specifically checked at a repair shop. Below is more relevant information: Analysis of the reasons is as follows: 1. If there is no impact, it might just be a slight blockage in the drain pipe or a change in the position of the drain pipe, causing the water not to fall directly to the ground but to other parts inside the car body. If it is near the engine where the temperature is high, and the flow is not very large, it is likely that the water evaporates before it has a chance to drip down. 2. Whether the car's air conditioning drips water during refrigeration depends on the current air humidity. If the humidity is high, condensation will form on the surface of the evaporator due to its low temperature, and the water will drain out through the drain hole below the evaporator. If the air humidity is very low, it is normal for no water to appear. If the drain passage under the evaporator is blocked, it can also cause no dripping water, so it is necessary to conduct a specific check and address the issue accordingly. 3. The dripping of water from the air conditioning outlet pipe is a simple physical reaction. The water that drips out is formed when the air near the evaporator core is cooled and condenses into water, which is then discharged through the drain hole. If there is no dripping water, it indicates that the outlet pipe is blocked, and the water flows out from other places, or the surface of the evaporator core is not cold enough. If the refrigeration is functioning normally, it is likely that the drain pipe is blocked, and it is recommended to unclog it.

How to Deal with Water Contamination in Engine Oil?

When water contaminates the engine oil, it is necessary to completely drain the old oil and replace it with new oil. Below are the specific reasons for water contamination in engine oil: 1. Damage to the oil cooler can cause water to enter the oil. If the cooler's pipes crack, external water can seep into the oil cooler, leading to water contamination in the oil. 2. Leaking engine water plugs can result in water entering the oil. After several years of engine use, corrosion from scale can cause some water plugs to rust through, allowing coolant to flow from the water passages into the oil passages and down into the oil pan. Regular inspection of water plugs is essential. 3. Damage to the cylinder liner sealing rings can lead to water contamination in the oil. Wet cylinder liners are in direct contact with coolant, and the lower sealing rings on the liners effectively prevent leakage of oil and coolant. Over time, these sealing rings endure pressure and can be corroded by poor-quality coolant, leading to failure after prolonged engine operation. 4. Cracks in the cylinder liner can easily cause water to enter the oil. When a heated cylinder liner is in direct contact with coolant, cracks can form. Once cracks appear, coolant can directly enter the cylinder and seep into the oil pan through the cylinder walls, turning the oil white. This whitening of the oil can lead to poor engine combustion, white smoke emissions, and other issues. 5. Damage to the cylinder head gasket can result in water contamination in the oil. The cylinder head gasket seals each cylinder, as well as the corresponding coolant and oil passages, preventing water from entering the oil. If the gasket is damaged and the coolant circulates rapidly, water from the coolant passages can flow into the oil passages, causing water contamination in the oil.

Where can the car PIN code be found in the car?

Car PIN code can be found in the engine's electronic anti-theft system. If you need to know the PIN code, you can go to a 4S store for inquiry. Each car's PIN code is different, and when purchasing a new car, the 4S store will provide the owner with the PIN code along with the car. The car PIN code has many uses, such as when the car needs to replace important parts, match performance, clear fault codes, or match car keys. This code can also ensure the safety of the vehicle. The dealer can read the anti-theft device identification code from the control unit, which to some extent is also the car's production identification code.

How to Park on the Highway Shoulder?

Methods for parking on the highway shoulder: 1. Steer the vehicle away from the traffic lane and move toward the emergency lane without obstructing other vehicles; 2. If the vehicle malfunctions, activate hazard lights and park in the emergency lane; 3. After parking, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle to alert other drivers of potential hazards ahead and prevent collisions. Stopping on the highway for reasons like restroom breaks, navigation adjustments, or phone calls is strictly prohibited, and these activities should never be performed while driving. Highway parking is extremely dangerous—maintain a speed no lower than 60 km/h, as excessively slow speeds significantly increase the risk of rear-end collisions.
