The frequent starting of the Outlander air conditioning compressor can be attributed to several reasons, with the most likely cause being the tripping of the compressor protection device. A tripped compressor overload protection indicates that the system voltage is too high or the overheat current is excessive. Another possible cause is the burnout of the starting capacitor or the compressor starting coil. The reasons for excessive voltage, high pressure, or overheating and their corresponding solutions are as follows: 1. Excessive refrigerant: Appropriately reduce the refrigerant amount. 2. Poor heat dissipation: Check the condenser pipes for dirt and clean the condenser. 3. Blockage in the pipeline system: Refer to the pressure gauge for judgment and troubleshooting, then reprocess the system. 4. Dust and scale accumulation on the evaporator or filter, leading to reduced airflow and imbalance in system pressure and temperature: Clean the evaporator or filter. 5. Lack of refrigerant (Freon): Add an appropriate amount of Freon.

Does engine overheating affect the machine?

Engine overheating does affect the machine. In mild cases, it can cause deformation of the cylinder head and cylinder gasket, while in severe cases, it can lead to deformation of internal engine components or even engine failure. If the excessive heat is not dissipated promptly and high-load driving continues, the strength of parts such as pistons, piston rings, and connecting rods can be reduced, or they may even deform. After the engine overheats, immediately reduce the engine speed, use inertia to coast the car to a relatively shady area, let the engine idle, open the engine hood, and wait for the engine temperature to gradually return to normal. After the engine coolant temperature returns to normal, turn off the engine, then continue to wait for a while until the radiator temperature significantly drops. After that, check the engine's coolant level, replenish it to the specified amount, inspect the cooling system again, and confirm there are no other faults before continuing to drive.

Is There Any Impact of Leaving Sunglasses in the Car During Summer?

Sunglasses left in the car during summer can be very dangerous. Sunglasses have a magnifying effect similar to a magnifying glass, making them prone to spontaneous combustion under sunlight. Below is an introduction to sunglasses-related information: 1. Function: Sunglasses, also known as shades, are protective gear for the eyes under strong light. Wearing these lenses can block ultraviolet and infrared rays while keeping the colors of the external environment unchanged, only altering the light intensity, creating a feeling of cloudy weather with a cool and comfortable sensation. 2. Disadvantages: A good pair of polarized sunglasses can provide a more comfortable driving experience and even offer additional benefits. However, many people tend to leave them in the car after use, which is a very bad habit, especially when placed in front against the glass.

Subject two (field test): The small car field test consists of 5 items: reversing into a garage, starting on a slope and stopping at a designated spot, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turning. 3. Subject three (road test): Road driving skills test. There are 16 basic items, including preparing to drive, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, driving at night, shifting gears, turning left at intersections, and turning right at intersections.

Where is the cigarette lighter located in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

The cigarette lighter in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is located at the rear air vent. Below are some precautions for using the cigarette lighter: Avoid using high-power electrical appliances on the cigarette lighter: The maximum power capacity of a cigarette lighter is generally 120W. Exceeding this limit can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the lighter. Start the vehicle when using the cigarette lighter for extended periods: If you need to use the cigarette lighter for a long time or with high-power devices, start the car engine to enhance the electrical supply. This prevents draining the car battery. Properly insert and remove the cigarette lighter plug: The cigarette lighter has a separate fuse. The correct method is to insert and remove it vertically. Avoid wiggling it out, as frequent movement can loosen the fuse and cause a short circuit, which may burn out the fuse or external devices. Remove external devices promptly after parking: When the vehicle is turned off, quickly unplug any external devices connected to the cigarette lighter. Otherwise, when the vehicle starts, the high current surge can easily burn out the devices, especially MP3 players and USB drives, which are particularly prone to issues.
