Can the car door be opened when the car battery is dead?

Yes, the car door can be opened when the car battery is dead. The car door can be opened and closed through the electric control lock. The power source of the electric control lock is the battery. When the battery is dead, the electric control lock loses power, but you can manually open a manual control lock next to the locked door handle, and then pull the lever to open the door from the inside. The battery is an indispensable part of the car, which can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The structure of the car lead-acid battery mainly consists of positive (negative) plates, separators, electrolyte, case, connecting strips, and terminals. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly discharge by itself until it is scrapped. Therefore, the car should be started at regular intervals to charge the battery.

What are the reasons why a motor vehicle won't start?

Reasons why a motor vehicle won't start: 1. The engine doesn't turn over, which may be caused by insufficient power due to battery leakage, requiring inspection of the electrical system; 2. Blocked oil and gas pipelines, such as a malfunctioning carburetor or fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines and exhaust pipes, can prevent the engine from starting; 3. The spark plug doesn't fire, possibly due to a damaged spark plug or a short circuit in the high-voltage wire; 4. Internal engine failure, such as cylinder damage or poor valve sealing, can also cause starting failure; 5. The engine is frozen, especially in winter, when many vehicles are prone to freezing and failing to start.

What is the ECO mode in Range Rover Sport?

The ECO in Range Rover Sport refers to the vehicle's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and non-active eco driving mode. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. The eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins to adjust settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard eco indicator light turns on, it serves merely as a reminder function. The eco mode automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable the eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the eco mode's fuel-saving characteristics but also impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the eco mode will not operate.

What should be noted for a newly tinted car?

Here are the precautions to take after car window tinting: 1. Do not wash the car within the first two days after tinting to avoid causing bubbles in the film. Avoid using the rear window defogger for a week, as moisture that hasn't dried can adversely affect the defogger lines. You can use a towel, sponge, or soft cloth to gently wipe the film surface after tinting; 2. Try not to roll the windows up or down for several days after tinting. In newly tinted cars, the windows are still tight, and the heat-resistant film takes five to seven days to firmly adhere to the window. During this period, rolling the windows up and down can cause the edges of the new film to lift or the film to shift before it's fully bonded; 3. Never use chemical solvents to clean the tinted film. It's best to use a dedicated damp cleaning towel, water-dampened paper towels, or a cloth with mild detergent. A rubber squeegee can also be used for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive materials or hard tools during cleaning to prevent damage to the car film; 4. Try to avoid hanging small decorations on the windows after tinting. Whether using suction cups or items directly stuck to the tinted film, they can potentially damage the film. For the first 15 days after tinting, refrain from attaching or hanging anything directly on the film to prevent creating gaps between the film and the glass when removing decorations.

Can a Modified Exhaust Pipe Pass the Annual Inspection?

Whether a modified exhaust pipe can pass the annual inspection depends on the specific circumstances. If the modification does not alter the vehicle's parameters, it can pass the inspection; however, if the vehicle's parameters are changed, it will not pass. Modifications such as altering the intake and exhaust systems, widening the body, lowering the chassis, changing braking components, or blindly upgrading high-beam headlights—all of which change the vehicle's technical parameters—will fail the annual inspection. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation. The annual inspection helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents.
