Marker lights are warning lights on vehicles, primarily used in low visibility conditions (such as driving at night, during dusk, in rainy weather, or in hazy conditions) to alert other vehicles. Marker lights are the outermost lights located at the front and rear of the vehicle. Large trucks also have marker lights on their roofs and sides. Literally, 'marker' means warning, and 'light' refers to the outline, so marker lights serve as warning lights to alert other vehicles. They are installed along the edges of the vehicle's roof, indicating both the height and width of the vehicle.

What to Do When a Car Radiator Leaks Coolant?

Check for signs of oil emulsification (cylinder head gasket failure or erosion). If present, disassemble the engine and replace the cylinder head gasket. After 5~10 minutes of initiating the major coolant circulation, any leaks (or coolant loss) in the cooling system—whether from the radiator, rubber hoses, or gaskets—will cease. Promptly use a screwdriver to secure the rubber hose connector clamp around the hose joint.

What Are the Steps to Buying a Used Car?

When buying a used car, it's essential to compare multiple options, and it's best to bring along an experienced mechanic to help select the car. Present the necessary documents to obtain the "Used Motor Vehicle Sales Contract" and fill it out. Conduct a vehicle inspection, take impressions of the engine number, remove the license plate, and take photos. Complete the relevant procedures, which require filling out the "Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation/Import Application Form" beforehand.

What does car suspension mean?

Car suspension refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. The suspension system should support the body and improve the riding experience. Different suspension setups will give drivers different driving sensations. Although seemingly simple in appearance, the suspension system integrates multiple forces, determining the vehicle's stability, comfort, and safety, making it one of the most critical components of modern cars.

Reasons Why an Excavator Has Power but Fails to Start

Possible causes include burnt or poor contact inside the battery relay. Also check the contact condition at the battery terminals by pouring hot water over them and starting the engine - poor contact will cause overheating until the water evaporates. Reasons for excavator failing to start: 1. Loose battery clamps causing starting difficulties. 2. Insufficient battery power or loose battery terminals leading to poor contact. 3. Faulty starter motor or generator failing to produce adequate power. 4. Using inappropriate fuel - high viscosity diesel in winter and low viscosity diesel in summer.

What is the method for adjusting valve clearance in a six-cylinder engine?

Place an appropriate feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the crosshead. Loosen the lock nut on the fuel injector rocker arm until the plunger contacts the injector cup, then tighten it by 15° to expel the oil in the cup. Back off the adjustment bolt by one turn, then use a screwdriver to tighten the adjustment bolt until there is no gap between the fuel injector plunger and the tappet. Follow the engine firing order (1-5-3-6-2-4).

Why are AT and CVT transmission efficiencies lower than dual-clutch?

AT and CVT transmissions have lower efficiency than dual-clutch transmissions because: AT transmissions are connected to the engine via a torque converter, which internally uses transmission fluid, making it a soft connection; CVT transmissions transmit power through friction between the steel belt and pulleys, and the steel belt can slip; dual-clutch transmissions are connected to the engine via clutch plates, which is a hard connection, resulting in higher transmission efficiency. Dual-clutch transmissions have gear sets inside, and this type of transmission does not rely on friction to transmit power, leading to lower power loss.
