The OBD interface of the Changan Star is located next to the battery in the engine compartment of the car, and it can be seen by opening the engine hood. OBD is translated into Chinese as "On-Board Diagnostic System," and the OBD diagnostic socket serves as the bridge (interface) connecting the computer to the vehicle's diagnostic system. Through specific procedures, fault codes can be read from the PCM, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault based on the fault codes. The Changan Star is a new model in the microcar segment, jointly developed by Changan Company and its international partner, Suzuki of Japan, while maintaining the original style of Changan microcars.

Must Fuel Additive Be Added to an Empty Tank?

Fuel additive must be added to an empty tank. Before refueling the car, add the fuel additive to the fuel tank according to the recommended ratio, and then refuel. This way, the added fuel additive will quickly dissolve fully under the impact and vortex stirring of the fuel, mixing more evenly with the fuel. Fuel additive is a common name for fuel additives, which are divided into performance-enhancing fuel additives that increase the octane value of gasoline and cleaning-type fuel additives that clean engine carbon deposits and fuel lines. Cars that have reached a certain mileage can use cleaning-type fuel additives to remove engine carbon deposits, which can help reduce fuel consumption to some extent and maintain the engine.

Can Someone Else Substitute for Vehicle Inspection?

Vehicle inspection can be conducted by a substitute, as long as the vehicle's registration certificate and the current year's compulsory traffic insurance policy are provided. However, the agent must bring their own ID card and driver's license. Relevant regulations: Article 54 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that the owner of a motor vehicle may authorize an agent to apply for various motor vehicle registrations and services, except for applying for a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate. If the motor vehicle owner cannot apply in person due to death, overseas travel, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, the agent may apply on their behalf with relevant proof. Written Authorization: When applying for motor vehicle registration and services, the agent must submit their identity proof and a written authorization from the motor vehicle owner.

What are the causes of abnormal noise from the right rear shock absorber?

The causes of abnormal noise from the right rear shock absorber include oil leakage or bending of the shock absorber itself, aging or abnormal wear of the shock pressure bearing, deformation of the shock spring, damage to the balance rod rubber sleeve, loose fixation of the shock absorber, and gaps in the connecting ball joint, etc. Deformation of the shock spring: Due to the structure of the vehicle's shock absorber, the entire shock absorber is compressed when the vehicle passes over bumpy roads, thereby compressing the external spring. However, after the vehicle passes the bumpy section, the spring's elasticity will reset the shock absorber. During the compression and resetting process of the shock absorber, there will be accompanying hissing or puffing sounds, which are normal phenomena. Any other abnormal noises from the shock absorber should also be taken seriously and addressed. Loose fixation of the shock absorber: Abnormal noise from the shock absorber is caused by loose fixation, as long-term vibrations during driving lead to loosening of the fixing nuts. Tightening the fixing nuts can solve the problem. Wear of the rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber forms play at the fixing points, causing noise during vehicle operation. Replacing the rubber bushings can eliminate the fault. Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause abnormal noise. Check for oil leakage; if there is no leakage, add the specified amount of shock absorber oil as required.

What is the impact of coasting in D gear on the transmission?

The impact of coasting in D gear on the transmission is that it puts a load on the transmission, and prolonged use can cause the clutch to overheat or wear out. Reasons for the impact: When the vehicle is in D gear with the brakes applied, the transmission is under load. To cope with this load, the engine also increases its load, meaning it increases fuel injection and raises the RPM. Some engines and transmissions are not well-matched, or the engine's power may have decreased, leading to shaking. For dual-clutch transmissions, the clutch is in a semi-engaged state during this time, and prolonged use can cause the clutch to overheat or wear out. How the transmission works: The transmission primarily applies the principle of gear reduction through gear transmission. In simple terms, the transmission contains multiple sets of gear pairs with different gear ratios. The act of shifting gears while driving involves the operation of different gear pairs within the transmission. For example, at low speeds, gear pairs with larger gear ratios are engaged, while at high speeds, gear pairs with smaller gear ratios are engaged.

Under what circumstances will you be photographed for using a phone while driving?

Using a handheld phone while driving is not allowed. Electronic surveillance cameras monitor such behavior, and violations will be photographed and recorded, resulting in fines and penalty points. The cameras can capture the driver's face when photographing phone use, so only the driver can handle the penalty with their own driver's license. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Violation Scoring Management Measures" implemented on April 1, 2022, drivers who make or answer handheld phone calls or engage in other behaviors that hinder safe driving will be penalized with 3 points deducted and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. 【The manifestations of driving behavior】include slow-moving traffic, intermittent driving, waiting at traffic lights, etc. 【Behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as making or answering handheld phone calls】include using a handheld device to make or receive calls, or holding a phone or other electronic device to send/receive text messages or WeChat messages, watch videos on apps like Douyin, Kuaishou, or Weibo, or play games. Even if the phone is mounted on a holder, performing actions like sending/receiving messages, watching videos, browsing apps, or playing games by viewing or operating the device is similarly dangerous as it diverts attention to the screen, and thus is also considered a violation. However, using hands-free car phones, phone headsets, or speakerphone functions that do not require holding the device and do not affect safety is not considered a violation of handheld phone use. Although using Bluetooth is not penalized, it is still discouraged as it can distract the driver and compromise road safety.
