The Civic failing to start and displaying a 'Check Brake System' message can be attributed to the following main reasons: 1. Excessive carbon deposits in the idle speed motor, intake tract, intake valve, and combustion chamber: Too much carbon buildup or dirt in the intake tract alters the cross-sectional area of the air passage, resulting in an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture, causing abnormal combustion or engine shaking after startup, or even preventing the engine from starting. 2. Issues with the fuel injector: Leakage or excessive carbon deposits can lead to a lean air-fuel mixture during startup, making it difficult to start. 3. Malfunction of the carbon canister or carbon canister solenoid valve: This can also cause difficulty in starting.

What are the symptoms of a faulty electronic throttle in a car?

The symptoms of a faulty electronic throttle in a car are: 1. The engine warning light comes on. When the engine warning light is illuminated, it is important to inspect the car promptly to prevent potential safety hazards; 2. Unstable engine idle speed, where the car's idle speed fluctuates between high and low, is also a sign of electronic throttle failure; 3. Weak acceleration, when the car does not respond to throttle input or exhibits significantly reduced power, is usually caused by a faulty electronic throttle or excessive carbon buildup; 4. Difficulty starting the car is generally caused by electronic throttle failure, low engine temperature, or faulty spark plugs. The specific cause should be diagnosed at a 4S shop.

What does the M gear on an automatic transmission car mean?

The M gear on an automatic transmission car refers to the manual mode of the automatic transmission. The manual mode allows the driver to shift gears up or down. When going down long or steep slopes, the manual mode can be used to lock the transmission in a lower gear. If only the braking system is relied upon for deceleration in such situations, it may cause the braking system temperature to rise rapidly, leading to heat fade or loss of braking power. Locking in a lower gear using the manual mode helps utilize engine braking to reduce speed. When climbing steep or long slopes, the manual mode can also be used to stay in a lower gear, which provides greater vehicle torque and makes it easier to climb.

What is the appropriate oil level position?

Oil level is appropriate when it is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. In automobiles, the dipstick is a commonly used measuring tool to check the quantity of lubricating oil in the reservoir. Since the dipstick insertion hole has a curved path, the dipstick must be able to deform when inserted and rebound to its original shape when pulled out. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.

What is the automatic downward tilt of the rearview mirror when reversing?

Rearview mirror automatic downward tilt when reversing refers to the feature where the right-side rearview mirror automatically adjusts its angle downward when the vehicle is shifted into R gear, helping the driver to see the ground conditions more clearly. The mirror automatically adjusts during reversing to increase visibility and resets to its original position when driving forward, which is a very user-friendly design. To set this feature, shift into reverse gear and hold the driver's seat memory button on the left side until a beep is heard, indicating successful memory. Press the right button on the rearview mirror, and it will automatically tilt downward during reversing. Turn the left rearview mirror adjustment to R, and the right mirror will automatically tilt downward. First, shift into reverse gear, adjust the right rearview mirror to the desired position, and then exit reverse gear to complete the setup.
