Here are the methods to handle the engine emission fault displayed on the Roewe i5: 1. Continuous Start and Shutdown: Perform three consecutive start and shutdown operations on the vehicle. After following this method, check whether the fault light remains on. This is used to check for false faults in the engine. 2. Contact the 4S Shop: When the computer receives the main parameters of the oxygen sensor and detects that the exhaust emissions seriously exceed the standard, it will issue an emission-exceeding fault light on the dashboard according to the program set inside the computer. If this situation occurs, follow the instructions to contact the local 4S shop for inspection and repair.

I've been driving the Roewe i5 for almost three years and have also encountered the emission warning light coming on. Common causes include carbon buildup or failure of the oxygen sensor, exhaust system leaks, or catalytic converter failure leading to excessive emissions. Don't panic yet - first check some simple things: tighten the fuel cap to see if the light goes off. If it doesn't, plug in an OBD scanner to read the fault codes (you can buy one online for just a few dozen yuan). If the code is P0420 or similar, it might be a faulty sensor. But I recommend not continuing to drive stubbornly - the warning light indicates the engine may not be operating optimally, with symptoms like increased fuel consumption or reduced power. It's better to go to a 4S shop for a comprehensive check. Roewe models often have software bugs that can be fixed with a system update or part replacement. For prevention, using high-quality gasoline, regular maintenance of filters, and maintaining good driving habits can help reduce such issues.

Why are there so many second-hand Song MAX vehicles?

Song MAX has many second-hand vehicles due to its large vehicle base and high sales volume. Here are the specific reasons: 1. Bait-and-switch tactic: In reality, many second-hand car dealers list BYD Song MAX second-hand car information online, but they don’t actually have this model. They use this method to attract people to their stores and then promote other models in various ways to sell different second-hand cars. 2. Accident vehicles: High-selling models like the BYD Song MAX are more likely to have accident vehicles, given the large vehicle base. For models that sell only a few units a year, the chance of an accident can practically be zero. Most of these vehicles enter the second-hand market normally, which explains the so-called abundance of BYD Song MAX in the second-hand market—this is just a normal phenomenon. 3. Flood-damaged vehicles: Even after repairs, many owners feel uneasy driving flood-damaged vehicles, so it’s normal for them to enter the second-hand market. Additionally, given the high sales volume of the BYD Song MAX, the likelihood of such vehicles appearing is relatively higher.

What is the fuel consumption of Auman 460 at idle for one hour?

Auman 460 has a fuel consumption of approximately 32 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption during idle operation mainly depends on the engine's universal curve and the load to determine the exact fuel usage. Below are some related additional information: 1. Vehicle fuel consumption: Fuel consumption is related to the vehicle itself, as well as the driving conditions and the driver's habits. When driving on congested roads, the vehicle often needs to stop and go. Starting the vehicle from a stationary state requires significant kinetic energy, and the engine needs to output a large amount of power at this time. If frequent stops and starts are required, the vehicle's fuel consumption will inevitably increase. Additionally, when driving on congested roads, the engine spends some time in idle mode. During idle mode, the vehicle's mileage does not increase, but the engine continues to consume fuel, leading to an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Maintain the vehicle at a constant speed while driving, and perform regular maintenance to keep the vehicle in good condition. During maintenance, always use genuine fluids and parts.

What gear should an automatic transmission car use in stop-and-go traffic?

For automatic AT transmissions, you can engage the D (Drive) gear in stop-and-go traffic conditions. When you need to move, simply release the brake and press the accelerator. When stopping, just brake the vehicle and maintain the brake pressure. For automatic dual-clutch transmissions, you can shift into manual mode (1st gear). This prevents the transmission from frequently switching between 1st and 2nd gears, which can cause clutch overheating and reduce service life. For automatic CVT transmissions, you can use the D gear. When stopping in D gear, the driving pulley inside the transmission operates in idle mode, causing minimal impact. When stuck in traffic on a slope, you can gradually release the brake pedal to let the car creep forward at idle speed. Since the vehicle is on an incline, the idle speed will be slower than on flat ground - just wait patiently for the idle speed to build up. Remember to maintain a safe following distance.

Why was the Volvo S80 discontinued?

Volvo S80 was discontinued due to its low resale value. Here is a detailed introduction to vehicle resale value: 1. Calculation method: A car's resale value is calculated based on the original ex-factory price, using the automotive industry's "10-year depreciation method" - 15% annual depreciation for the first 3 years, 10% for years 4-6, and 5% for years 7-10. 2. Influencing factors: Vehicle resale value refers to the ratio between a car's selling price after a period of use and its original purchase price, mainly determined by factors such as vehicle performance, price fluctuations, spare parts costs, and maintenance convenience. It essentially reflects the comprehensive quality trend of a vehicle. Models with high resale values have the advantage of being less affected by price reductions in the used car market, helping owners reduce the risk of economic losses caused by product depreciation.

What Are the Reasons Why the Car Doesn't Move When Stepping on the Accelerator?

The reasons why the car doesn't move when stepping on the accelerator may be that the handbrake is not released, there is a fault in the intake system, or there is a problem with the fuel system. Handbrake not released: It may be caused by the handbrake not being released. After releasing the handbrake, shift into gear and step on the accelerator to start the car. Intake system fault: The engine's power output is generated by the ignition of a mixture of gasoline and air. If there is a problem with the intake system, it will result in reduced engine power output. Promptly inspect the intake system, clean the air filter, and clean the throttle body. Fuel system fault: A fuel system fault means that fuel is not being delivered through the fuel lines to the combustion chamber, causing the engine to operate abnormally. If the amount of gasoline entering the engine's combustion chamber does not meet the standard, the combustion chamber will not have enough fuel to ignite and explode, leading to reduced car power. Promptly inspect the fuel supply system and clean the fuel lines.
