The reasons for severe shaking when starting the car: 1. Engine mount issue: If the car shakes while idling in place, the engine mount needs to be replaced; 2. Carbon deposit problem: Excessive carbon deposits on the pistons or spark plugs can cause the fuel injected by the fuel injector to be absorbed by the carbon deposits during cold starts, preventing it from participating in combustion. This leads to incorrect air-fuel mixture, unstable idling, shaking, or even misfiring; 3. Incorrect air-fuel mixture ratio: This involves multiple factors, such as the atomization condition of the fuel injector, the ignition condition of the spark plugs, the data from the intake pressure sensor, the air intake data from the mass air flow sensor, the fuel pump pressure issue during cold starts, and the environmental temperature data from the ECU, all of which need to be checked.

How to activate hidden features on Lavida Plus?

Lavida Plus's hidden features require professional diagnostic equipment at an auto repair shop to unlock. Available programmable features include: one-key remote control for all four power windows, automatic door locking when speed exceeds 15km/h, audible confirmation for lock/unlock operations with horn response, remote key customization (single press unlocks driver door/double press unlocks all doors), and turn signal activation when opening doors. Additional reference materials: 1. Most vehicle models come with numerous preset functions during manufacturing: However, some features get deliberately disabled during sales due to product positioning strategies (since few buyers opt for top-trim models) or hardware limitations that might cause system lag if enabled. 2. Enabling hidden features involves ECU reprogramming: Also called ECU tuning, this process rewrites software parameters to increase horsepower output, enhance torque, or improve fuel efficiency while unlocking "hidden programs". Such modifications carry significant consequences: Firstly, vehicles lose manufacturer warranty coverage even within the warranty period. Secondly, performance-oriented ECU flashing increases fuel consumption, accelerates engine wear, and hastens aging of other components, ultimately depreciating the vehicle's resale value.

How to Repair a Leaking Car Sunroof?

Clean the sunroof drainage channel, clear the drainage pipes, and repair the sunroof sealing strip. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific causes of panoramic sunroof leaks: 1. Clogged sunroof drainage outlet: A blocked drainage outlet prevents rainwater from flowing smoothly, gradually seeping into the car. This phenomenon mainly occurs when the owner neglects regular cleaning of the roof, allowing debris to flow with rainwater into the drainage outlet and clog it. For such issues, you can use a wire to make a hook to reach into the drainage hole and pull out the debris, or visit a repair shop to use an air gun to blow out the debris from the drainage hole. 2. Damaged sunroof sealing strip: The sunroof sealing strip is made of rubber and can age over time. Repeated friction from the sunroof glass can cause damage, leading to poor sealing and leaks during rainy weather. In such cases, regularly check the aging condition of the sealing strip and replace it promptly if damaged. Choose a sealing strip with good performance and resistance to aging and corrosion. 3. Roof deformation: If the car is involved in a collision, the body may deform. If not properly restored during repairs, it can result in poor sealing and leaks. During the repair of accident-damaged vehicles, it is essential to strictly adhere to the original vehicle standards; otherwise, parts may not fit properly, creating potential leakage risks.

Are There More Manual or Automatic Sports Cars?

"Most sports cars are manual. There are three commonly used automatic transmissions in cars: AT transmission, CVT transmission, and dual-clutch transmission. Most sports cars use dual-clutch transmissions and AT transmissions, which differ in their working principles and structures. Here are the specific details: Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch transmission is actually developed based on the manual transmission. This transmission only adds an extra set of clutches and a shift control mechanism compared to the manual transmission. One set of clutches in this transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. The dual-clutch transmission offers fast shifting speeds and high transmission efficiency. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, while those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are. AT Transmission: The AT transmission, also known as the torque converter transmission, connects to the engine via a torque converter. The AT transmission contains many planetary gears, which it relies on to change speed and torque. The AT transmission provides smoother shifting and better reliability and durability. It can handle relatively large torque, but its shifting speed is not as fast as that of the dual-clutch transmission."

What is the Difference Between a Particulate Filter and a Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

Particulate filters and three-way catalytic converters differ in the following ways: Brief Description: A three-way catalytic converter transforms harmful gases emitted by vehicles into harmless gases through oxidation and reduction reactions. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine exhaust system, and its regeneration or purification function must be completed under controlled conditions to prevent the filter from becoming clogged with soot. Function: The particulate filter burns off the captured particulate emissions during vehicle operation. The three-way catalytic converter refers to the vehicle's purification device converting harmful gases into harmless gases, thereby cleaning the exhaust, provided there is sufficient oxygen available and the air-fuel ratio is appropriate. Principle of the Particulate Filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon soot particles are adsorbed onto a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, converting the adsorbed carbon soot particles into harmless carbon dioxide for emission.

Can you make a U-turn on a white dashed line?

U-turns are allowed on white dashed lines, provided there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, or separate U-turn signal lights. Vehicles can make a U-turn without interfering with normal traffic flow and ensuring safety. Situations where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow the signal's instructions. If there is no signal light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions against U-turns or left turns allow U-turns: If there is no explicit prohibition against U-turns at a location, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of signs like "No U-turn," "No left turn," or solid center lines, in which case U-turns are permitted. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, entrances of important facilities, or other necessary locations. Any vehicle stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is considered a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers, effectively making it a "U-turn permitted" zone. Intersections with U-turn signal lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn signal light, follow it. Only proceed with a U-turn when the light is green. When "No left turn" and "U-turn allowed" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. However, "No U-turn" does not necessarily mean "No left turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No left turn" sign ahead, even if there is no explicit prohibition against U-turns, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with normal traffic flow, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near stop lines at intersections, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow—if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs. Making a U-turn on a crosswalk is also a traffic violation.
