China 4 emission standards started in 2011. Here are the specific methods to check which emission standard a vehicle belongs to: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which usually has a clear mark on the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the original or a copy of the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, check the vehicle's factory certificate of conformity, which is usually kept at the vehicle management office. Therefore, it is recommended to make a copy for backup when purchasing a car. 5. Make a rough distinction based on the year the vehicle was registered. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China 4, vehicles registered in 2007 could be either China 3 or China 4, vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly China 3 or China 2, and vehicles registered before 2005 are mostly China 2.

Why is the car cooling fan not working?

The reasons why the car cooling fan is not working: the water temperature does not meet the requirements, or the relay is faulty. Water temperature does not meet the requirements: Most car radiator fans nowadays operate with electronic temperature control, so the fan will only start rotating normally when the water temperature inside the car reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan will not turn. Relay failure: If the water temperature meets the requirements but the car radiator fan still does not work, it could be due to a problem with the fan's relay. If the relay is faulty, the car's radiator fan will also fail to operate.

What does the little red car mean?

A flashing little red car on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is in operation. Normal phenomenon: When the car is turned off and the doors are locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds. This is a normal phenomenon, indicating that the car has entered the anti-theft state. Anti-theft system malfunction: If it flashes while driving, it means that a door is not properly closed; if the indicator light stays on constantly, it means there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Common faults of the anti-theft system: If there is signal interference in the parking location, the car may not respond to remote operations. In this case, move the car to another location and then lock it.

Does Car Wash at Gas Stations Damage the Car?

Early gas stations used plastic brushes for automatic car washes, which easily damaged the car's surface. Later, they switched to soft brushes. However, during the washing process, soft brushes might pick up dirt, and since every car is washed in the same cycle, it's unlikely that staff clean them daily. Because it's a free service, it's impossible to be as professional and meticulous, and this friction process could potentially harm the car. Introduction to Car Wash Machines: Car wash machines primarily use high-pressure water and computer-controlled brushes to automatically clean cars. Advantages of Car Wash Machines: Car wash machines are aesthetically pleasing, cause minimal damage to the car's paint, and are easy to operate. In recent years, they have been widely used in the automotive service industry. Typically, a high-pressure water gun connected to tap water is used in traditional car washes, combined with large towels and some detergents.

What do Sport, Eco, and Normal driving modes mean?

Sport, Eco, and Normal are all driving modes of a car, which can be switched by the driver. Sport Mode: Sport mode can be used when overtaking. The vehicle has high torque output from the start, and the gear shift time is delayed, further extending the duration of high torque. With enhanced power, the vehicle provides a stronger sense of acceleration. Normal Mode: This mode can be used for long periods during regular driving. The vehicle operates under standard conditions, striking a good balance between fuel efficiency and performance. In this mode, the suspension is moderately firm, and the throttle response is relatively sensitive, offering comfort without losing agility. Eco Mode: Eco mode has certain energy-saving effects in urban traffic congestion, but actual fuel consumption may vary depending on the driver's habits. In Eco mode, the vehicle's computer reduces fuel injection, adjusts the transmission shift logic, and limits some power output.

Should You Turn Off the Engine During a One or Two-Minute Traffic Jam?

It is not necessary to turn off the engine during a one or two-minute traffic jam, but it is recommended to do so during prolonged traffic jams. Leaving the engine running while parked consumes fuel: While waiting at an intersection, you should estimate the waiting time based on the traffic signal timer. If the waiting time exceeds 2 minutes, it is advisable to turn off the engine. Generally, the fuel consumed by idling a small car is more than the fuel required to restart the engine. Properly turning off the engine: The engines of typical household cars are usually designed to withstand over 50,000 starts. Under normal usage frequency for household vehicles, even after 10 years, the number of starts would still be far less than 50,000. Therefore, properly turning off the engine when parked will not adversely affect the vehicle's engine or battery.

Can the QR code on the driver's license replace the driver's license?

Driver's license QR code cannot replace the driver's license. Reasons why it cannot be replaced: The driver's license QR code is only a convenient measure to facilitate the people and improve work efficiency. It can only handle non-on-site simplified procedures for traffic violations by motor vehicle drivers and minor on-site traffic accidents, and cannot replace the current driver's license. Relevant regulations: Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that if a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the motor vehicle license plate, does not have the inspection qualification mark or insurance mark, or does not carry the vehicle license or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, mark or complete the corresponding procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with the provisions of Article 90 of this Law.
