Here are the solutions for a windshield wiper that won't stop: 1. If the wiper keeps running non-stop, it is likely due to a fault in the wiper motor circuit. You can disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to stop the wiper. 2. Without activating the wiper handle, drive the car to a repair shop or 4S store and have a technician check the circuit issues. Below are precautions for using windshield wipers: 1. Always use the wipers when there is rain, as the wiper blades are designed to clear rainwater from the windshield. Do not use them without water, and never operate them dry. Running the wipers without water increases friction, which can damage the rubber blades and the wiper motor. 2. Even if it's raining, avoid using the wipers if the rain isn't heavy enough to require them. Wait until there is enough rainwater on the windshield—enough to prevent obstructing the driver's view.

Where is the oil filter located on the Geely Boyue?

Geely Boyue's oil filter is located at the upper right side of the engine. Here is an introduction about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and cushion shocks. It is known as the "blood" of the car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new properties. Additives are an important part of lubricating oil.

How to open the trunk of the Audi Q2L?

The trunk of the Audi Q2L can be opened by gently lifting the trunk button. The trunk switch is located below the driver's door handle, above the door storage compartment. The car trunk is usually used to store miscellaneous items or large objects, which helps in better organizing items and increasing life convenience. In addition, when other doors cannot be opened, the trunk's escape function can be used to ensure the safety of passengers inside the vehicle. The Audi Q2L is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4190mm in length, 1790mm in width, and 1510mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. In terms of appearance, the car features a family-style hexagonal grille, headlights with T-shaped LED daytime running lights, and a front bumper decorated with a silver trim, giving it an overall dynamic and stylish look.

What does the AC button in the car mean?

The AC button in the car is the air conditioning cooling switch. The functions of car air conditioning include the following 4 points: 1. Temperature regulation, cooling in summer and heating in winter: This is the main function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system generates cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for heating, most other vehicles utilize waste heat from the engine for heating. 2. Humidity regulation, maintaining cabin humidity between 30% and 70%: Humidity affects the comfort of passengers. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be kept between 30% and 70%. Ordinary car air conditioners do not have the function to regulate humidity, but integrated heating and cooling air conditioners can achieve this. 3. Airflow regulation, controlling the airspeed within a certain range: The speed of airflow can be adjusted appropriately based on passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and personal preferences for cold or heat. 4. The air conditioner can filter the air, removing dust and pollen from the air.

How to Check a Car's Production Date Based on the VIN?

Here are the methods and precautions for checking a car's production date based on the VIN: 1. The vehicle identification number (VIN) consists of 17 letters and numbers, each corresponding to specific information. 2. The first 3 codes represent the country of manufacture, manufacturer, and vehicle type, identified by numbers or letters (positions 1~3). 3. The next 5 codes indicate vehicle characteristics, defined by the manufacturer. Refer to the car manual for details (positions 4~8). 4. The third part is the check digit, which may be a letter or number, determined by the manufacturer (position 9). 5. The fourth part is the production year code, represented by a letter or number, internationally standardized (position 10). 6. The fifth part is the assembly plant and location code, denoted by letters, determined by the manufacturer (position 11). 7. The sixth part is the production sequence number, assigned by the manufacturer (positions 12~17).

How to Replace Spark Plugs on a Sail?

Steps for replacing spark plugs on a Sail: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace them every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the owner's manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate During Vehicle Inspection?

ABS light illumination can occur in various states, each with different fault causes and corresponding solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light remains constantly illuminated (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the contaminants from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose connections in the system wiring or faulty ABS relay contacts, leading to system malfunction. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose terminals. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and verify the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains illuminated after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body, faulty wiring connections in the valve body, or ABS control unit failure. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check for enlarged terminal gaps and replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit if required. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals during high-speed driving, or incorrect tire/wheel specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel dimensions, typically listed on the fuel cap label. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch or internal contact issues in the brake lights. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and manually push the brake switch lever fully downward, then release the pedal to reset its position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is illuminated, it is advised not to continue driving. ABS failure means the anti-lock braking system is compromised, potentially causing wheel lock-up during emergency braking. This may result in loss of vehicle control, skidding, and inability to decelerate or adjust trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
