Issues with the air duct switch, blocked air ducts, or dirty air conditioning pipelines. Below are more related details: Issues with the air duct switch: If the driver's side is not cooling but the passenger side is normal, it indicates that cold air is not circulating properly. Try switching between the internal and external air circulation modes a few times. When using the air conditioner, avoid keeping the external circulation mode on continuously. Running the air conditioner while the external circulation is on will draw hot air from outside into the car, reducing the cooling efficiency. Therefore, in hot weather, switch back to internal circulation as soon as possible after ventilating with external circulation. Blocked air ducts or dirty air conditioning pipelines: Turn the fan to its maximum setting and check the airflow at the vents with your hand. If the airflow is noticeably weaker than before, it is likely that the air ducts are blocked. The car's air conditioning system includes an air filter, usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side (though there are exceptions, such as above the accelerator and brake pedals).

I've encountered this situation a few times in over twenty years of driving. When the air conditioning on the driver's side doesn't blow cold air while the passenger side works normally, it's mostly an issue with the dual-zone climate control system. Take my old Accord for example - the problem was caused by a faulty blend door actuator on the driver's side, which got stuck in the heating position. This component controls the mix of hot and cold air, and when it fails, temperature adjustment becomes impossible. Other potential causes include a faulty blower motor resistor or climate control module malfunction, which can also lead to single-side failure. During my last visit to the repair shop, I learned that evaporator icing typically affects the side closer to the evaporator first. I'd recommend first checking if the climate control settings accidentally have different temperatures set for each zone, then inspecting the actuators and control modules. The repair isn't expensive - replacing a small motor usually costs just a few hundred yuan.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Driver's License After Passing the Test?

You can usually get your driver's license the next day after passing the test, depending on local processing efficiency. At the latest, it may take around 15 days to receive the license. In some areas where the testing center operates more efficiently, you may be able to collect your driver's license within about an hour after passing the test. The permission to drive a vehicle is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formal process that must be issued by a specialized authority. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as "a vehicle driving permit certificate issued by the competent authority for the purpose of driving a car." A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal certification issued to individuals who are legally eligible to learn to drive a car, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills through training, and have passed the examination by the administrative department, allowing them to drive a specific type of vehicle. After passing the fourth subject test, you must undergo at least 30 minutes of traffic safety and civilized driving education, including case studies of traffic accidents, and participate in a license-receiving oath ceremony before the vehicle management office issues the driver's license.

What is the reason for the engine cutting out while driving and then resuming after pressing the accelerator again?

The reason for the engine cutting out while driving and then resuming after pressing the accelerator again: It could be due to a malfunction in the throttle pedal position sensor or throttle position sensor. Issues with the idle control valve or engine control unit (ECU) can also cause this phenomenon. It is recommended to contact a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. Basic working principle of engine fuel cut-off protection: For small and medium-sized diesel engines, the fuel cut-off protection usually involves installing a small cylinder on the throttle linkage. The piston of this small cylinder is connected to the throttle linkage. Under normal circumstances, the small piston rod does not interfere with the throttle linkage's adjustment of the throttle. When the diesel engine experiences a loss of lubricating oil pressure, the pressure detection device installed in the lubricating oil pipeline will open the compressed air switch, allowing compressed air to reach the small cylinder through the pipeline, pushing the piston to move. This causes the throttle linkage to move to the extreme position in the fuel cut-off direction, completely cutting off the fuel supply, resulting in the engine stopping due to fuel cut-off.

What engine is used in the JAC Jiayue A5?

JAC Jiayue A5 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine across the entire lineup, with the model number HFC4GB2.4E. This engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 210 N·m. It features VVT technology and multi-point electronic fuel injection, and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine in the JAC Jiayue A5 is domestically produced, developed and manufactured by JAC Motors. For daily maintenance of the JAC Jiayue A5 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Periodically clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in larger quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates smoothly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the date for tire code 4621?

Tire code 4621 indicates the production date of the tire. The first two digits represent the week number, and the last two digits represent the year, meaning it was produced in the 46th week of 2021. Every tire has a production date. If a consumer encounters a new tire without a production date when purchasing, it is likely that the seller has ground off the numbers to conceal the production date. Tires without production dates are not recommended for purchase. Always check the production date when buying tires. How to check the production date of a tire: On the sidewall of the tire, immediately following the DOT letters, there is an 11-digit alphanumeric code representing the tire's identification or serial number. The last four digits of this serial number indicate the production date. On the outer side of the tire, there is a four-digit number in an oval shape, such as 5106. The first two digits represent the month of production, and the last two digits represent the year. On the outer side of the tire, there is a set of numbers. The last four digits of this marking provide information about the production date. It consists of four digits in the format AABB, where the first two digits (AA) indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits (BB) indicate the year.

What Are the Reasons for Abnormal Noises When Braking Too Hard?

There are several reasons for abnormal noises when braking too hard, including the brake being in the break-in period, normal activation of the ABS system, metal hard spots on the brake pads, and severe wear of the brake disc. Brake in the break-in period: New cars or recently replaced brake discs and pads will have a break-in period, during which some abnormal noises are unavoidable. The noise will disappear after using the brakes a few times. Normal activation of the ABS system: During emergency braking, the brake pedal may produce continuous abnormal noises, sometimes accompanied by a kicking sensation, indicating that the ABS system is activated, which is a normal sound. Metal hard spots on the brake pads: There may be some tiny metal particles inside the brake pads, which can produce sharp, piercing sounds when lightly braking. Solutions include forcefully applying the brakes several times, removing and re-grinding the brake pads, or replacing them with higher-quality ones. Severe wear of the brake disc: Severe wear on the brake disc can form deep grooves around its circumference, causing friction between the brake pads and the edges of the grooves, resulting in abnormal noises. The solution is to promptly inspect the brake disc and replace it if the wear is severe.

Which month does the 46th week of tire production correspond to?

Tire production in the 46th week corresponds to November. Since a month consists of 4 weeks, dividing 46 by 4 gives approximately 11.5, which means mid-November. The production date of a tire is marked on the outer side of the tire. You don't need to flip the tire; it's visible on the outer side. On one side of the tire wall, there is a set of numbers. The last four digits of this marking provide information about the production date. It consists of four digits "aabb," where the first two digits "aa" indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits "bb" indicate the year. In addition to the production date, tires also display many other pieces of information. According to international standards, the tire code consists of six parts, including tire width, tire section height and aspect ratio percentage, tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (permissible load capacity code), and permissible speed code. There are two methods for identifying the specifications of car tires. One is tires marked with specifications like "5.60-13," indicating a tire width of 5.60 inches and a rim diameter of 13 inches. The other is tires marked with specifications like "195/60R14," indicating a tire width of 195mm, an aspect ratio (the ratio of the tire's radial section height to width) of 60, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. The letter "R" stands for radial tire. Additionally, radial tires may also be denoted by the letter "Z."
