The engine number of Chery Tiggo 5 is located on the engine block. It is generally a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle license shows the engine number, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It should be noted that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine in the manufacturer, and the engine model can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, each engine can only use one engine number and each engine's number is different.

I've been driving a Chery Tiggo 5 for several years. When you open the hood, you can see the engine number, usually located on the front section of the engine block near the radiator or fan. There's a small metal plate engraved with a series of numbers, which might be covered in dust—just wipe it gently to make it clear. If you can't find it, don't worry. Check the right side of the cylinder block or the bracket connection points; most of the time, it's there. This number is extremely important for vehicle inspections or ownership transfers. For safety, make sure the engine is turned off and cooled down before checking—never attempt it when the engine is hot. The Tiggo 5 is easy to maintain, and doing it yourself saves time and money. The manual also includes a diagram marking its location. If you still can't find it, take a photo and ask in the car owners' group. The car is reliable, and finding the number usually takes just a few minutes.

What Causes the Engine Malfunction Light to Stay On in a Vehicle?

There are primarily 7 reasons why the engine malfunction light stays on: Sensor failure: The sensors mentioned here include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine malfunction light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel and engine oil are not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear and trigger the malfunction light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon deposits or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockage can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: The intake boost pipe or turbocharger can also trigger the engine malfunction light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake issues: If the vehicle's intake system has problems, it may cause engine pipe blockages, and in severe cases, trigger the malfunction light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can lead to intake issues. Exhaust issues: Exhaust system failures can also trigger the engine malfunction light. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter failure, exhaust camshaft and bearing failure, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent issue. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system failures can easily cause catalytic converter problems. Anti-theft system failure: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally and trigger the malfunction light. If the engine malfunction light stays on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, such as whether there is shaking or smoke. If so, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then press the start button without stepping on the brake pedal, or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the malfunction light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

What is the principle of seat heating?

A non-woven fabric with heating wires is arranged under the seat cushion. When the seat heating switch in the car is turned on, the heating wires are electrified, and the seat will generate heat. Generally, a temperature sensor is installed in the electric heating pad to monitor the temperature change of the seat, thereby controlling the power on and off of the heating wires to keep the seat heating temperature within a suitable range: 1. Disconnect at 50±5℃, connect at 30±5℃; 2. Disconnect at 43±5℃, connect at 23±5℃. Especially in the cold northern regions, where the morning temperature is very low, the driver will no longer face a freezing cold seat. Moreover, seat heating poses no safety hazards during use, and the internal materials will not easily short-circuit, break, or age even under harsh conditions. Common misconceptions about seat heating: 1. It does not heat up immediately; the heating temperature can be adjusted, with higher gears corresponding to higher temperatures. 2. Seat heating has temperature settings and does not keep heating indefinitely. 3. Repeated use of seat heating will not damage genuine leather seats.

What are the power supply methods for car dash cams?

There are several power supply methods for car dash cams as follows: 1. USB port power supply: ①Advantages: This method does not occupy resources and maintains aesthetic appeal. ②Disadvantages: The USB stops supplying power when the car is turned off, failing to meet the 24-hour operational requirement of dash cams. Additionally, the current peak during car startup may potentially damage the dash cam. 2. Cigarette lighter port power supply: ①Advantages: This method is energy-efficient and offers good stability. ②Disadvantages: It occupies the only stable power receiving port in the vehicle, and the exposed wires may affect aesthetics. 3. Reading light power supply: ①Advantages: Provides relatively stable voltage and is safe and reliable. ②Disadvantages: Incorrect modifications may easily cause electrical short circuits. 4. Fuse box power supply: ①Advantages: Offers relatively stable power and has a certain level of interface universality. ②Disadvantages: For car owners unfamiliar with automotive circuits, it can be difficult to determine which interface can supply power. Additionally, it requires purchasing a step-down cable compatible with the original dash cam power interface or a fuse box power adapter with matching fuse specifications.

What kind of engine oil should be used for the Bin Yue?

The original engine oil model for the Bin Yue is 0W-20, and the brand is Shell. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Mobil and Castrol. The viscosity of the engine oil will change with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the smoother the cold start of the car will be. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better it can maintain viscosity indicators at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in the Bin Yue is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug, and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, pour about three-quarters of a bottle of oil; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Will a broken radiator cap cause overheating?

A damaged radiator cap can cause overheating. The effects of a damaged car radiator cap include: 1. Coolant may spray out from the radiator cap; 2. After the coolant sprays out, the flow rate and pressure of the coolant entering the engine will decrease; 3. Due to the reduced coolant flow, the engine's heat cannot be dissipated by the coolant, leading to engine overheating. This can cause the engine to "boil over," resulting in certain degrees of damage to the engine. The radiator cap has three main functions: 1. Sealing to prevent coolant leakage. 2. When the coolant temperature rises and the pressure inside the radiator increases to a certain level, the radiator cap automatically opens the pressure relief valve, allowing excess coolant (due to thermal expansion) to flow into the auxiliary reservoir. 3. When the coolant temperature drops, the radiator forms a vacuum due to the coolant's contraction. At this point, the radiator cap automatically opens the return valve, allowing the supplementary coolant from the auxiliary reservoir to flow back into the radiator.

How to Drive an Automatic Car?

Below are the steps to drive an automatic car: 1. Before getting into the car, check around the vehicle to ensure there are no small animals, children nearby, or any obstacles like nails or glass that could affect the car's safety. Once inside, the first thing to do is fasten your seatbelt. Otherwise, as a beginner, you might easily start driving without any safety measures due to nervousness. 2. An automatic car only has two pedals: the brake and the accelerator. The left one is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. This order must be clearly remembered. Before starting the car, first press down on the left brake pedal. 3. Insert the car key and, while holding down the brake, turn the key clockwise. You will then hear the sound of the car engine starting. Check if the car's dashboard is functioning normally. The left gauge shows the engine RPM, and the right gauge is the speedometer. Look for any warning lights on the dashboard. If there are alerts like a door not being closed properly, address them first. Also, check the fuel gauge on the speedometer to ensure there is enough fuel. If the fuel level is too low, consider refueling. 4. For a twin-cylinder car, the engine will start one cylinder at a time. Initially, the engine noise might be loud. Wait for a few dozen seconds (or 1-2 minutes in winter) until the engine noise reduces, indicating that the engine has fully started. Only then can you shift the car into gear. 5. Release the handbrake while keeping your foot on the brake pedal, and shift the gear from Park [P] to Drive [D]. (Other gears, except for Reverse [R], are rarely used.) 6. Release the brake and gently press the right accelerator pedal to slowly increase the throttle and start the car. Always be aware of the surrounding traffic and be prepared to stop at any time. Once the car is on the main road, you can continue to accelerate.
