The reason why valves make noise when hot but not when cold: This situation indicates that there is a gap in the valves. Solutions for valve noise: 1. Check if the engine oil is insufficient. 2. If the engine oil is normal, the valves need to be replaced. Below is relevant information about valve noise: 1. Cold start of the car: When the car has been parked for a long time and the engine is started at the same temperature as the environment. During a cold start, you may hear a "clicking" sound from the engine compartment. This abnormal noise sounds very unusual, unlike the normal operation of the car. Even some new cars may experience this during the break-in period, with the engine making loud noises when started, which normalizes after the engine warms up. 2. During a cold start of the engine, due to the thick and poor fluidity of the engine oil, there may be operational noise for a short period, and slight sounds may occur when various moving parts come into contact, which is a normal phenomenon.

What is Passive Tire Pressure Monitoring?

Passive tire pressure monitoring is an indirect tire pressure monitoring system that utilizes the wheel speed sensors of a vehicle's ABS anti-lock braking system to compare the rotational speed differences between tires, thereby achieving the purpose of monitoring tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure warning system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor air pressure. The ABS system determines whether a wheel is locked by using wheel speed sensors, and then decides whether to activate the anti-lock braking system. When tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the tire diameter to become smaller, resulting in changes in vehicle speed. These speed changes trigger the tire pressure monitoring alarm system, alerting the driver to insufficient tire pressure.

Why Can't the Newly Replaced Igniter Get Fuel?

Newly replaced igniter cannot get fuel mainly due to dirty throttle, malfunctioning fuel pump, or insufficient oil pressure. Dirty Throttle: When carbon deposits on the throttle reach a certain level, it will cause air leakage in the compression chamber due to incomplete sealing, resulting in unstable engine idle speed, continuous high engine RPM, and difficulty in starting the engine, especially during cold starts. Malfunctioning Fuel Pump: If the fuel pump is damaged, it will directly cause the vehicle to be unable to drive. Poor performance may also lead to hesitation during acceleration. The failure often occurs without warning, making the vehicle unable to start, with no residual pressure, resulting in difficulty in starting. Insufficient Oil Pressure: Prolonged use can cause the engine oil to become dirty or viscous, preventing the oil pump from smoothly drawing in and pumping out the oil, leading to low oil pressure and consequently difficulty in starting the engine.

What Type of Gasoline Should a Regular Car Use?

For cars with regular naturally aspirated engines, the fuel requirements are not very high. In general, using 92-octane gasoline can meet the engine's needs. Gasoline grades: Currently, there are mainly three types of gasoline available on the market: 92-octane, 95-octane, and 98-octane. These three types of gasoline differ in terms of anti-knock performance and price. 92-octane gasoline has the lowest anti-knock performance and the lowest price. 98-octane gasoline has the highest anti-knock performance and the highest price. 95-octane gasoline falls in the middle in terms of both anti-knock performance and price. Precautions for using gasoline: Different types of cars have different manufacturer-recommended gasoline grades. You should not use gasoline with a higher or lower octane rating than specified in the manual. For cars with regular naturally aspirated engines, the fuel requirements are not very high, and 92-octane gasoline is generally sufficient. Turbocharged or high-compression ratio cars are better suited for 95-octane gasoline, while high-end luxury or high-performance cars have higher fuel quality requirements and thus require 98-octane gasoline.

What car's intelligent system is Hi Nomi?

Hi Nomi is the intelligent system of Geely. Geely cars have the advantages of styling design and rich configurations. Styling Design: Geely has formed its own family design DNA based on public preferences. Therefore, after the Borui, all new Geely cars have adopted the West Lake arch bridge-inspired water and interior design language. This partially Chinese-style design aligns with the aesthetic habits of most Chinese consumers, allowing Geely to attract a large consumer base for each of its models. Rich Configurations: Domestic cars still have some gaps in NVH and powertrain compared to joint-venture and foreign brands. To compensate for these shortcomings, domestic automakers like Geely focus heavily on functional configurations in their products. Leveraging their procurement advantages, Geely can frequently source various suppliers to provide rich vehicle configurations at relatively low prices. Additionally, Geely collaborates with numerous suppliers to develop systems like the Geely Intelligent Ecosystem, enabling car buyers to enjoy more advanced vehicle configurations and experiences.

What are the principles for using emergency carts?

When using, follow the five fixed principles: fixed storage location, regular inspection, designated personnel management, scheduled cleaning and disinfection, and periodic inspection and maintenance. The current state of emergency carts in hospitals is quite poor. Missing/Expired Items: Instances where medications/supplies are not replenished promptly after use, or expired items are not replaced, occur frequently. Time-consuming Inventory: Under normal daily inventory checks that only verify paper lists without physically counting items, completing one inventory takes approximately 15 minutes. Difficult Inventory: Various items have different expiration periods, making it impossible to quickly calculate based on paper lists, resulting in significant difficulty in completing a normal inventory. Abnormal Risks: Due to the inconvenience of offline inventory checks, there is an extremely high risk of damage or expiration of items.
