Choose a reference point; your eyes alone cannot be the sole judgment standard. The car's direction should also be determined by selecting appropriate reference points, such as lane markings or roadside trees, and then aligning them with your peripheral vision. Below is an introduction to car drifting: 1. Introduction: Car drifting refers to the phenomenon where a car, while driving straight on a flat road, spontaneously veers to one side, causing the line connecting the front and rear axle centers to deviate from the centerline of the driving trajectory. 2. Hazards: Minor drifting can lead to uneven tire wear or tire damage, while severe cases may cause tire blowouts or loss of vehicle control, leading to dangerous situations. 3. Symptoms: Typically, a car driving on a flat, straight road should not deviate more than four to five meters over a distance of 1,000 meters. Exceeding this range indicates the car is experiencing drifting.

Can Engine Oil Catch Fire?

Engine oil can ignite. Oil leakage can cause engine oil combustion and vehicle self-ignition. Here are some misconceptions about engine oil addition: 1. Frequently adding oil without changing it: For some German car owners experiencing oil burning, regularly checking the oil level is correct, but only topping up without replacing it can only compensate for the quantity loss, not fully make up for the performance degradation of the lubricant. During use, engine oil's performance gradually declines due to contamination, oxidation, etc., and there is also some consumption, reducing its quantity. 2. Overestimating the role of oil additives: High-quality engine oil is a finished product with multiple engine protection functions, and its formula already contains various additives, including anti-wear agents. Moreover, engine oil emphasizes a balanced formula to ensure the full performance of various properties. Adding other additives on your own not only fails to provide extra protection for the vehicle but may also easily react with the chemicals in the oil, leading to a decline in the oil's overall performance.

What to do if the sunroof won't open?

Check if the fuse of the electric sunroof is blown. If the fuse is intact, inspect whether the sunroof switch is faulty. Press the switch to see if there is power. If there is, then check if the sunroof's drive motor is functioning. You can listen for the sound of the motor working. Additionally, if the sunroof doesn't close properly, it might be due to debris stuck in the sliding track, deformation, rust, or poor lubrication. Below are some maintenance tips for the sunroof: 1. Regularly clean debris: Over time, sand and dust can accumulate in the gaps, blocking the track and making it difficult to move the sunroof. 2. Lubricate the sliding track: The lubricant in the track can diminish over time, increasing friction and resistance. The solution is to promptly apply engine oil or lubricant to the track. First, clean the sealing rubber and track thoroughly with water.

What to Do When the High Exhaust Temperature Indicator Light Comes On for China VI Vehicles?

Here is the relevant introduction about the high-temperature indicator light coming on: 1. Active regeneration in progress: When the high exhaust temperature indicator light comes on, it indicates that DPF active regeneration is in progress, and the exhaust temperature is high. The driver should minimize low-load operation time to increase exhaust temperature and promote regeneration. 2. Increasing exhaust temperature: The high exhaust temperature indicator light coming on means the system is raising the exhaust temperature by burning fuel, which can exceed 500°C. Therefore, when this light is on, fire prevention should be taken seriously. 3. Carbon accumulation in the filter: The high exhaust temperature indicator light coming on indicates that a certain amount of carbon has accumulated in the DPF filter. If the regeneration prohibition switch was pressed when passing through a hazardous area, it should be reset promptly after leaving the hazardous area to turn off the DPF regeneration prohibition indicator light, allowing active regeneration to continue.
