Car auto start-stop not working is due to low battery charge or the engine not reaching normal operating temperature. The auto start-stop system consumes significant power, so when the battery charge is insufficient, the system will not function. After driving for a while, the system can resume normal operation. Many cars are equipped with auto start-stop systems, which help reduce fuel consumption. When the engine starts, oil quickly reaches all components requiring lubrication and forms an oil film, resulting in minimal engine wear. If the engine hasn't reached normal operating temperature, the auto start-stop system won't activate to prevent engine damage.

How Many Types of Transmissions Are There?

There are three types of transmissions: stepped transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), and integrated transmission. Among them, stepped transmission is the most widely used, which employs gear transmission and has several fixed gear ratios. According to the different types of gear trains used, there are two types: fixed-axis transmission and rotating-axis transmission. Continuously variable transmission refers to a transmission system that can continuously obtain any gear ratio within the transmission range, allowing for an optimal match between the transmission system and the engine's operating conditions. Common continuously variable transmissions include hydro-mechanical CVT and metal belt CVT.

How many years can a new car be exempt from inspection?

Six-year exemption policy for new cars The motor vehicle must be a non-operational vehicle; The approved number of vehicles is 6 or fewer. The vehicle type indicated on the driving license The registration date must be after September 1, 2010; Vehicles that meet the above conditions and have not been involved in any traffic accidents causing casualties during the exemption period can enjoy the six-year exemption policy. However, the correct term for exemption here should be that the on-site inspection is exempted, but we still need to obtain the annual inspection sticker, which is unavoidable. Every two years, we must apply to the DMV or online to obtain the annual inspection sticker.

Does removing the car's center console have any impact on the vehicle?

Removing the center console generally has no impact on the vehicle. In most cases, when purchasing a mid-range car without a built-in navigation system or screen, owners often choose to install aftermarket options, which requires removing the center console. The dashboard primarily serves to secure electrical instruments, protect the safety of passengers, and provide sound insulation and noise reduction. It is generally advisable to avoid disassembling the dashboard unless necessary. The center console refers to the front workspace in the driver's cabin, located in front of both the driver and front passenger. It serves as the mounting platform for the instrument panel, air conditioning and audio controls, storage compartments, airbags, and other devices. Positioned to the right of the steering wheel and in the middle front section of the cockpit, the center console consolidates most of the vehicle's control buttons, excluding those related to driving. If disassembly is unavoidable, it is recommended to only remove specific sections of the dashboard. Vehicles with disassembled dashboards are more prone to issues such as abnormal noises, poor sealing, and increased noise due to improper reassembly. However, disassembling the dashboard has minimal impact on the vehicle's handling and overall performance.

How to Clean the Throttle Body?

Methods for cleaning the throttle body: 1. Open the engine hood and remove the upper black decorative panel of the engine; 2. Loosen or remove the intake hose; 3. Remove the throttle body and use a cloth to cover the metal intake port; 4. Clean the throttle body with a cleaning agent or carburetor cleaner; 5. After cleaning, dry the throttle body with a cloth and apply a small amount of engine oil near the throttle shaft for lubrication. Reasons for cleaning the throttle body: Each time the cylinder operates, it first injects fuel and then ignites. When the engine is turned off, the ignition is immediately cut off, and the fuel injected during the working cycle cannot be recovered. It adheres to the intake valve and combustion chamber walls. The wax and gum residues in the fuel harden after repeated heating, forming carbon deposits.

How to Identify Car Tire Models?

Tire specification numbers indicate the model of the tire. The tire model refers to the international standard tire code, usually located on the sidewall of the tire, and includes the width of the tire cross-section in millimeters; the aspect ratio (percentage of section height to section width) in millimeters; the diameter of the wheel rim in inches; and the load index. These are the meanings represented by the tire specification numbers. For example, 185/60R1491V is a tire specification, where the numbers mean: the wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground. When driving, this will increase the friction between the tire and the road, which is not favorable for the car's fuel consumption. Of course, there are two sides to everything. By increasing friction, not only does it enhance wet road grip performance, but it also improves the tire's drainage capability, thereby increasing driving safety in rainy conditions. The number 60 represents the aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the tire's cross-section height divided by its width. A higher value means a thicker tire, resulting in lower maneuverability but increased comfort.

How to Adjust the Front and Rear Position of Power Seats?

Methods for adjusting the front and rear position of power seats: 1. Pull up and hold the seat slide adjustment lever, then slide the seat to the desired position; 2. Release the adjustment lever and ensure the seat is locked in the desired position; 3. Push the control switch forward or backward to move the seat to the desired position; 4. Once the seat reaches the desired position, release the switch. Power seats are driven by motors and will stop immediately after adjustment. Excessive operation may damage electrical components. Power seats consume significant electricity during operation. To avoid unnecessary discharge of the charging system, do not adjust power seats for longer than necessary when the engine is not running. Do not operate more than two power seat control buttons simultaneously, as this may cause malfunctions in the power seat motors or electronic components.
