The center console screen not lighting up after replacing the car battery is caused by reversing the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Simply reconnect the positive and negative terminals correctly. Precautions for battery replacement are as follows: 1. Removing the battery: When removing the old battery, always follow the sequence of "remove the negative terminal first, then the positive terminal." Since the car body is connected to the negative terminal of the battery (ground terminal), if the positive terminal is removed first, the screwdriver may touch the car body during the removal process. Once touched, it is equivalent to directly connecting the positive and negative terminals of the battery, which may cause a short circuit and burn out the battery. 2. Installing the battery: When installing a new battery, simply follow the opposite steps. However, it is important to note that when connecting the positive and negative terminals, follow the sequence of "positive terminal first, then negative terminal," which is the opposite of the removal sequence. The principle is the same: to prevent the risk of short circuits and ensure safety.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Dongfeng Honda Jade?

Dongfeng Honda Jade has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. In terms of body dimensions, the Jade measures 4660 mm in length, 1775 mm in width, and 1500 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760 mm. Regarding powertrain, the Jade is equipped with two engines: a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. In the same segment, the Dongfeng Honda Civic has a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, while there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the pointer is near 'E', it indicates low fuel, while near 'F' means the fuel level is sufficient.

How many kilometers should tires be rotated?

Tires are recommended to be rotated front to back after approximately 10,000 kilometers of driving. It is particularly important to note that not all vehicles can have their tires rotated. The specifications of the front and rear tires are the key factor determining whether rotation is possible; the tire specifications must be identical for rotation to be performed. The procedure for rotating tires is as follows: 1. Lift the vehicle off the ground and remove the tires; 2. Move the left front tire to the right rear position and the right front tire to the left rear position; 3. After rotation, tighten the bolts securely, and once the tires are back on the ground, perform an additional tightening. The rotation pattern is: move the left front tire to the left rear position, the right front tire to the right rear position, the left rear tire to the right front position, and the right rear tire to the left front position.

What to Do When the Car Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

When the car tire pressure warning light comes on, you should find a nearby repair shop to check the tire pressure system or go to a 4S shop to check the tire pressure system. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The reasons for the car tire pressure warning light coming on are: 1. The tire is punctured, causing the car tire pressure warning light to come on; 2. Long-term driving or failure to replenish tire pressure causes the car tire pressure warning light to come on; 3. The tire pressure sensor is faulty, causing the car tire pressure warning light to come on. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring alarm are: 1. Prevent tire blowouts by monitoring tire pressure and temperature in real time to prevent problems before they occur; 2. Save fuel by maintaining correct tire pressure and reducing car fuel consumption; 3. Reduce wear, as insufficient pressure can cause excessive wear and shorten the tire's service life.
