The windshield washer fluid location in the Civic is under the right front fender, and the washer fluid filler port is next to the right front fender. The owner can see it after opening the engine hood. Windshield washer fluid is frequently used, and when it runs out, it needs to be refilled; otherwise, it will affect the cleaning of the front windshield. The Civic is a compact car under Honda, with body dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Civic is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The Civic features a stylish and sleek design, with a flowing body line, and the hatchback appearance has undergone significant changes compared to the older model.

I drive quite a bit, especially compact cars like the Civic, and the windshield washer fluid reservoir is pretty easy to locate. After opening the hood, you'll find a blue-capped container on the front-left side of the engine bay (driver's side), usually marked with a windshield wiper symbol or labeled 'Washer Fluid.' That's where you top it up. Use a funnel to pour in the washer fluid—opt for dedicated washer fluid instead of tap water to avoid clogging the nozzles or freezing in winter. Pour slowly to prevent spills that could dirty the engine. Regular fluid level checks are crucial; I recommend peeking every 1,000–2,000 km to ensure the spray function works when needed. A dirty windshield mid-drive is a real hazard. I still remember one winter when I ran out of fluid—no spray, and I had to drive fogged-up for ages before pulling over to check. Since then, I always keep a spare bottle in the car.

What is the reason for no signal power to the fuel injector?

The reason for no signal power to the fuel injector is that the signal line controlled by the ECU has no control signal. The ignition system should be checked for abnormalities, otherwise the ECU will not provide the fuel injection signal. The following are precautions for fuel injector use: 1. Do not reduce the fuel grade: For gasoline fuel injectors, the fuel grade represents the anti-knock performance of the fuel. Generally, the higher the quality of the fuel injector cleaner, the higher the compression ratio, and the higher the fuel grade required. This is also the focus of work for ternary cleaning shops. 2. Do not intentionally drive at low RPM: Drivers deliberately using low speed and high gear will increase the burden on the engine, and too low RPM will also cause incomplete combustion of the engine, forming carbon deposits. This is something that must be paid attention to when using fuel injector cleaners.

What does it mean to check the license plate light?

The vehicle's license plate light is malfunctioning and needs to be checked. Get out of the car and check the rear of the vehicle. If the license plate light is not working, it is usually caused by a burnt-out bulb or a short circuit in the wiring. Location of the license plate light: The license plate light is located above the license plate at the rear of the vehicle. Its main function is to illuminate the license plate. The switch for the license plate light is usually integrated with the vehicle's parking lights. When the parking lights are turned on, the license plate light will illuminate, along with the parking lights on both sides of the front and rear of the vehicle, the dashboard lights, and the interior button lights. Relevant regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, a malfunctioning license plate light on a motor vehicle is considered non-compliant with safety standards and may result in a fine. Before driving, it is essential to check all the vehicle's lights.

Why does the Verna with small displacement have such high fuel consumption?

High fuel consumption in vehicles is largely related to poor driving habits and the type of roads driven on. Habits like squeezing through gaps whenever possible and overtaking every car in sight can significantly impact fuel efficiency. Additionally, situations like waiting at red lights, traffic congestion, lane changes, and speeding, especially rapid acceleration and sudden stops, can cause substantial wear and tear on the vehicle. It's not necessarily related to engine displacement. Factors affecting fuel consumption include: 1. Engine power and torque: More advanced engines with higher power output don't require heavy throttle input or high RPMs. 2. Transmission technology and matching: This directly determines the efficiency loss in power transmission. 3. Vehicle weight, aerodynamic drag, and tire friction coefficient: Lighter vehicles with lower chassis and better aerodynamics are more fuel-efficient. 4. Driving habits: Gentle acceleration, anticipatory throttle control to maintain speed, fewer sudden brakes, and maintaining a steady speed. This factor alone can cause a 3-liter difference in fuel consumption per 100 km between different drivers of the same car.

What Causes Severe Jerking in a Car?

Severe jerking in a car may be caused by the following issues: 1. Power supply system: Spark plugs or ignition coils. If the high-voltage spark is weak, causing intermittent poor engine performance, it can result in jerking. 2. Fuel system: Fuel injectors. If the fuel injectors have carbon buildup, minor blockages, or poor atomization, it can easily lead to abnormal fuel injection and cause jerking. 3. Transmission: Impacts, jerking, or gear hunting are usually caused by a damaged valve body or dirty transmission fluid with internal impurities. Especially when dirt and impurities accumulate inside the valve body, blocking the pipelines, it can prevent effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impacts, or slippage. Whether it's an automatic or manual transmission, if the engine mounts or transmission mounts are damaged, they won't provide cushioning when releasing the throttle, causing jerking. 4. Throttle: If the throttle is not cleaned for a long time, excessive carbon buildup can alter the throttle opening angle, resulting in jerking when releasing the throttle.

What Spark Plugs Are Best for the Langdong?

The best spark plug for the Langdong is the original SILZKR6B10E iridium-platinum model. What are spark plugs made of: Spark plugs mainly consist of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. What types of spark plugs are there: Main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, they should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it's recommended to follow the user manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Will I be penalized for changing a flat tire myself on the highway?

Changing a flat tire yourself on the highway will not result in penalty points, as long as it does not obstruct normal traffic flow. Emergency handling for a flat tire on the highway: When a rear tire bursts, the driver should stay calm, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, strive to keep the vehicle moving straight, and decelerate to a stop. If a front tire bursts, the driver should also firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, ease off the accelerator pedal, and strive to maintain straight-line driving. A front tire blowout is more dangerous, so the driver must make every effort to control the steering wheel and quickly shift to a lower gear. Procedures after a flat tire on the highway: If a vehicle experiences a flat tire on the highway, the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, check for vehicles behind, and place a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle. In windy conditions, use a heavy object to secure the warning sign to prevent it from being blown over. Call the emergency number for assistance and also contact your insurance company for support.
