Installing a dash cam without a rearview mirror is because the dash cam is not connected to the vehicle. The dash cam is not connected to the vehicle: If the dash cam is powered by a battery and not connected to the vehicle, the rearview function of the dash cam cannot be activated. In this case, the dash cam needs to be connected to the car, and the rearview function must be properly set up for it to display normally. The installed dash cam must be mounted on the rearview mirror. When the screen is turned off, this type of dash cam can be used as a rearview mirror, but the screen must be turned off. Turning off the screen does not affect the normal recording function of the dash cam. Damaged camera: If the rear camera of the vehicle is damaged, the dash cam will not be able to display the rear view. There are many reasons for camera damage, and it is necessary to have it inspected and repaired by professionals at a repair shop. When the car is not started, the dash cam has no power. Only after starting the car and the dash cam is properly powered can the rearview function be used normally.

At what temperature does the Audi A6 electric fan start working?

Audi's fan starts working between 90 to 105 degrees. Introduction to the Cooling Fan: The cooling fan is a crucial component of the vehicle's cooling system. The performance of the fan directly affects the engine's heat dissipation efficiency, which in turn impacts the engine's overall performance. If an inappropriate fan is selected, it can lead to insufficient or excessive cooling of the engine, resulting in a deteriorated working environment for the engine and affecting its performance and lifespan. Matching and Optimization: Select a suitable fan based on the established cooling system, which involves conducting a matching analysis for each fan model. By comparison, the fan that meets the cooling requirements with the lowest power consumption is identified. When the fan operates stably in the cooling system, the static pressure equals the resistance of the cooling system, and the flow rate at this point is the matching flow rate for that fan and cooling system. To study the matching between the fan and the cooling system, first determine the matching flow rate, then assess whether the cooling capacity meets the system's requirements at that flow rate, and finally select the fan with the lowest power consumption from those that meet the requirements.

What does 'range' mean on a car dashboard?

On a car dashboard, 'range' refers to the remaining driving distance, indicating how much farther the car can travel. This distance is calculated based on average fuel consumption, representing the theoretical remaining mileage with the current fuel level in the tank. A car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front/rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. Different cars have varying dashboard configurations. However, conventional dashboards typically include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against strong winds increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, injected gasoline doesn't atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more fuel for combustion and increasing consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit may maintain higher idle speeds to warm up the engine in cold weather, further increasing fuel usage.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on the Teramont?

The tire pressure light on the Teramont can be reset by locating and holding down the tire pressure reset button. Tire pressure reset is an operation performed on the tire pressure monitoring system to reset it after addressing any tire pressure issues. Steps to reset the tire pressure on the Teramont: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heating; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may cause a blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and inducing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.
