When the powertrain warning light comes on, you should promptly go to a 4S shop for inspection. Here are the relevant details: 1. Causes: The transmission oil temperature is too high or there is a transmission malfunction. Wear and tear of transmission components, matching wear of various parts, and deformation of the casing leading to cracks can reduce the reliability of the transmission, causing malfunctions. In severe cases, it may lead to the complete scrapping of the vehicle's transmission, thereby causing the powertrain warning light to illuminate. 2. Function: The powertrain generally consists of a clutch, transmission, universal drive, main reducer, differential, and half-shafts. Its basic function is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the vehicle's drive wheels, generating driving force to enable the car to travel at a certain speed.

What is the normal tire pressure in winter?

In winter, the normal tire pressure for cars is between 2.2 and 2.4 bar. Excessive tire pressure in winter reduces the friction between the car tires and the road surface, affecting driving safety. Slightly lowering the tire pressure by 0.1 bar below the standard can increase the tire's grip on the road. If the tire pressure is too low, it can increase the car's fuel consumption, cause damage to the tires, and easily lead to tire blowouts. The standard tire pressure for each car can be checked at the fuel filler location. The first row in the tire pressure chart indicates the standard tire pressure, which is generally 2.3 bar for most passenger cars. The tire pressure value refers to the cold tire pressure, measured after the car has been parked for at least 3 hours or if the tires have not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If tire pressure can only be measured when the tires are hot, subtract approximately 0.3 bar from the measured value. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and damage to the engine can lead to the end of the car's life. Tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power.

How Many Kilometers Should a Major Car Maintenance Be Done?

Major car maintenance is typically recommended every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, but the exact interval should be based on the vehicle's user manual. A major maintenance requires performing all the maintenance items listed in the manual. Major car maintenance includes servicing the engine, chassis, and body accessories. For engine maintenance, in addition to changing the engine oil and oil filter, it is necessary to inspect components such as the fuel system, oil pan, valves, oil seals, and spark plugs. If excessive wear or aging is found, these parts should be replaced. Chassis major maintenance mainly involves three major parts: the suspension, front and rear axles, and braking system. The hardware is inspected to ensure there is no wear or other damage, and then each component is realigned and reinforced. Additionally, shock absorber fluid, brake fluid, and lubricants are added or replaced. Major maintenance for body accessories includes checking parts such as tires, fenders, hood, dashboard, seat belts, seats, and foot pedals for looseness, aging or broken connectors, or misalignment. During major maintenance, car owners should pay attention to the condition of vehicle fluids, such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and shock absorber fluid. If these fluids were replaced not long before the major maintenance, it is important to communicate this with the service advisor.

What Causes the Brakes to Harden When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in an Emgrand?

When the brakes harden with the air conditioning on in an Emgrand, it indicates an issue with the brake vacuum system. Brake Wear: Severe wear of the brake pads causes the expansion shaft to reach its maximum limit, jamming and failing to reset. This is common in older vehicles with prolonged use. Replace the brake pads. High Brake Line Resistance: Excessive resistance in the brake line is often due to internal rusting from water ingress, freezing, oil contamination, or dust accumulation causing stickiness. It is recommended to replace the brake line. Rear Brake Expansion Shaft Wear: Severe wear of the rear brake expansion shaft is common in older vehicles that have had brake pads replaced, where the working surface of the expansion shaft is heavily worn and jammed. Transmission Mechanism Wear: Issues such as improper brake line routing, aging or deformation of the line sheath, etc. Specific analysis is required for different models. If unable to resolve the issue independently, it is advisable to consult a professional mechanic.
