The reasons why the battery does not charge fully and gets hot are as follows: 1. Battery aging, battery water loss, battery plate sulfation; 2. Damaged wiring; 3. Poor fuse contact; 4. Poor internal plug contact; 5. Damaged charger; 6. Circuit board failure. Below are some battery maintenance tips: 1. Avoid not turning off the air conditioning when the engine is off: The air conditioning consumes a lot of power. Some drivers are accustomed to not turning off the air conditioning when the engine is off, which causes the air conditioning to automatically start the next time the vehicle is started. This leads to an instantaneous high power load on the vehicle, which can damage the battery over time. 2. Regularly wipe the battery: Use a damp cloth to periodically clean the exterior of the battery, removing dust, grease, white powder, and other contaminants that can cause leakage from the panel and the positive and negative terminals. Regular cleaning prevents excessive buildup of white acid corrosion powder on the terminals and extends the battery's lifespan. Special grease can be applied to the terminals to protect the battery. 3. Prevent battery discharge: To prevent the battery from discharging, be especially careful not to use the car's CD player, cigarette lighter, or other charging devices for extended periods while the engine is off, as this consumes a significant amount of battery current. Discharging the battery easily leads to battery damage.

Where are the throttle and brake positions in a manual transmission car?

In a manual transmission car, the positions of the throttle and brake are located below the left side of the driver's compartment. The leftmost pedal is the clutch, the middle one is the brake, and the rightmost is the throttle. Here is a related introduction: The throttle pedal, also known as the accelerator pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal pressure, it regulates the opening of the engine throttle, controls the intake air volume, and the computer adjusts the fuel amount, thereby controlling the engine speed. When operating the throttle pedal, the right heel should rest on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal. Use the ankle joint's extension and flexion movements to press down or release. Apply force softly when stepping on the throttle pedal, ensuring gentle and gradual movements.

How Many Kilometers Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced After?

Generally, the maintenance cycle of brake fluid is time-based, with a replacement cycle of two years. Some manufacturers specify two years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Below is more information about automotive brake fluid: 1. Essentially, whether brake fluid needs replacement mainly depends on the water content in the brake fluid. 2. Since brake fluid is highly hygroscopic, over time, a large number of bubbles will form in the brake lines, which can significantly affect the performance of the braking system. 3. When the braking system operates, it generates high temperatures, causing the water in the brake fluid to vaporize. The gas is easily compressed, leading to soft brakes and dangerous loss of braking power. 4. It is recommended to use a brake fluid tester to measure the moisture content in the brake fluid.

What are the test items for the C2 license subject 2 exam?

C2 subject 2 exam items include: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Below are the details for subject 2: 1. Reversing into a garage: This assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reversing into a garage is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. 2. Parallel parking: Parallel parking is increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal lots become scarce. Many areas now designate street-side spaces as 'parallel parking spots.' 3. Stopping and starting on a slope: This is another key evaluation point in subject 2. The test requires stopping at a fixed position on a slope with ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters in length, assessing the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch control. The goal is to train drivers to accurately judge vehicle positioning and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch for stopping and starting on uphill sections. 4. Right-angle turns: This evaluates the driver's ability to correctly steer and judge the difference between the inner and outer wheels when navigating sharp turns. The driver should engage first gear, release the handbrake, and slowly lift the clutch to maintain semi-clutch engagement while moving forward at a steady speed. The left wiper's left dot (first rivet) should align with the yellow line on the right edge of the road, maintaining a 20 cm distance. Then, focus on a point slightly ahead of the middle door lock on the left front door. 5. Curve driving: Commonly known as the S-curve, this test requires driving on an S-shaped road of specified width without crossing the edge lines, demonstrating smooth steering control. It assesses the driver's ability to steer and control the vehicle through curves, aiming to develop skills in steering application and wheel trajectory management.

Can Vehicles Undergo Annual Inspection in Another Location?

Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in another location. Currently, cross-province annual inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses have been fully implemented. This means applicants can directly undergo the inspection in a city other than where the vehicle is registered and apply for the inspection compliance mark. Documents required for annual inspection: Original ID card or the original ID card of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; copy of compulsory traffic insurance; proof of vehicle and vessel tax. Annual inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and ancillary equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, whether the registration details on the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle records match the actual condition, and whether any changes have been approved and documented; Check whether the license plate, registration certificate, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement; For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the seating capacity of the driver's compartment are printed in imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the trailer's rear tailgate) exterior displays the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required, and whether the sides of the door display the word "individual" for privately owned or jointly operated vehicles. The text must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

How to solve the abnormal noise of Roewe RX5 sunroof on bumpy roads?

To address the abnormal noise from the Roewe RX5 sunroof on bumpy roads, first identify the cause of the noise. If the sealing ring is aged, it needs to be replaced with a new one. If the screws are loose, tightening them can resolve the issue. Here are the specific methods: 1. Turn on the vehicle's ignition, press the sunroof switch button, and ensure the interior and exterior are quiet. Observe the sunroof's movement path to check for obvious up-and-down fluctuations. If present, it indicates component aging, and the parts must be replaced. 2. Loose screws can cause roof and sunroof noises and even pose a risk of the sunroof falling off. The solution is simple: locate the sunroof screws and tighten them. 3. Due to prolonged use, debris particles may accumulate on the sliding tracks. When the sunroof moves along these tracks, it can rub against the debris, causing abnormal noise. Therefore, it is essential to keep the tracks clean. Apply lubricant to both sides of the sunroof tracks, paying extra attention to areas where noise was previously detected, as these spots experience the most friction.
