The OBD interface of the Chery Tiggo 8 is located near the driver's knee position. Common functions of OBD: Continuously monitor component and system failures to ensure that vehicle emissions do not exceed OBD regulatory requirements throughout the vehicle's lifespan; when emission-related faults are detected, the OBD system can trigger the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the dashboard to alert the driver; faulty vehicles can be repaired promptly, reducing emissions. How OBD works: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics. This system constantly monitors the engine's operating conditions to detect whether the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it immediately issues a warning. When a fault occurs, the MIL or Check Engine warning light illuminates, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in memory. The fault codes can then be retrieved from the PCM using specific procedures.

Where are the swivel casters with brakes located?

Swivel casters with brakes are located at the front. Foot brake: The scientific term for the foot brake should be called the service brake, which is a device that slows down or stops a moving vehicle. The working principle of the service brake is very simple. When the brake pedal is pressed, the piston of the brake caliper pushes the brake pads, increasing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc rotating at the same speed as the wheel, thereby achieving the braking effect. Brake fluid: Brake fluid is the working medium that transmits braking pressure in the hydraulic braking system, and its role is undoubtedly very important. The most significant characteristic of brake fluid is its hygroscopicity. During use, the water content gradually increases, which lowers its boiling point and causes the brake fluid to boil, thereby losing its braking effect.

Should I Replace the Front or Rear Tires When Changing Two New Tires?

For front-wheel drive vehicles, it's best to replace the front tires, while for rear-wheel drive vehicles, it's best to replace the rear tires. Tire replacement criteria: Check the tire wear indicators and assess the tire damage condition. Differences between placing tires on the front and rear: From the perspective of front-wheel drive vehicles, the rear wheels are called follower wheels. Compared to the front wheels, the wear on the rear wheels is not as severe. Therefore, for front-wheel drive vehicles, the front tires are more prone to blowouts, so new tires should be placed on the front when replacing tires. Those who choose rear-wheel drive vehicles generally prefer driving pleasure. Due to the power output being at the rear wheels, their inherent characteristics make them prone to skidding and similar phenomena. If the rear tires of a rear-wheel drive vehicle show severe tread wear, the vehicle may experience skidding and reduced traction.

Is It Legal to Buy a Vehicle with a Nominal Owner?

It is illegal to buy and use a vehicle with a nominal owner. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition: A vehicle with a nominal owner refers to a car that cannot be transferred to a new owner. Such a vehicle may be fully functional, with all necessary documents in order, including valid annual inspections and insurance, but ownership transfer is impossible. 2. Reasons: The vehicle's license plate registration location is too distant, making the transfer process costly; the vehicle may be used as collateral in debt settlements, possibly entangled in multiple debt cycles; the original owner has passed away without canceling the vehicle registration; in regions with purchase restrictions, the vehicle is sold along with the license plate; imported vehicles cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some fraudsters may sell commercial vehicles converted to private use as nominal owner vehicles at low prices.

Why Does the Car's One-Button Start Fail to Ignite?

Introduction to reasons why the car's one-button start fails to ignite: 1. Steering wheel lock. The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. When the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the centered position to a certain angle in one direction will cause it to lock with a "click" sound. In the locked state, the one-button start function does not work. 2. Gear not in P position. For automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), the manufacturer's manual will indicate that the gear must be in the P position when starting the ignition. 3. Smart key battery dead. When the vehicle's smart key battery is dead, the key's transmission power is very low, making it difficult for the car's sensor to detect it, which prevents the one-button start from functioning.

What is a Same-Direction Lane?

Same-direction lanes refer to motor vehicle lanes where the direction of travel is the same. Same-direction lanes on highways: Highways typically have four same-direction lanes, with the second and third lanes being the middle lanes. Vehicles traveling at speeds above 110km/h should use the leftmost lane; those above 90km/h should use the middle lanes (lanes 2 and 3); the rightmost lane has a minimum speed limit of 60km/h. Motor vehicle lanes: Motor vehicle lanes are defined as the portion of the roadway (between curbs on urban roads or the paved surface on highways, designated for vehicle traffic) from the first lane divider line on the right to the center line (or geometric center line if no center line exists). Except under special circumstances, these lanes are exclusively for motor vehicle use.
