Modified exhaust doesn't sound loud because the muffler hasn't been removed. It's recommended to remove the muffler and then rev the engine in first gear to definitely get a louder sound. Introduction to Automotive Exhaust Systems: The automotive exhaust system primarily discharges waste gases produced by engine operation while reducing pollution and noise from the emitted exhaust. Automotive exhaust systems are mainly used in light vehicles, micro-cars, buses, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles. Sources of Automotive Noise: A car is a comprehensive noise source comprising various types of noise with different characteristics. Since none of the noise sources in a car are completely sealed (some are only partially sealed), the overall noise radiation from the vehicle depends on the sound levels, characteristics of each source, and their interactions.

What does it mean when the car indicates it's time for maintenance?

The reason the car indicates it's time for maintenance is that the vehicle has reached its maintenance cycle, and the owner needs to perform maintenance promptly. The solution is to promptly visit the car's 4S shop for maintenance, after which the maintenance reminder light can be turned off. If the issue persists, it is advisable to seek help from a maintenance technician to disable the maintenance reminder. Typically, the car will give a reminder one or two thousand kilometers in advance, and the owner can choose to have it cleared after maintenance at the 4S shop. Common car maintenance items include: engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. Car manufacturers provide a regular maintenance schedule for each vehicle upon leaving the factory, with maintenance items and cycles usually based on mileage. The purpose is to achieve optimal performance and extend the vehicle's lifespan through regular maintenance.

Why can't the BYD one-button start ignite the engine?

The reasons why the BYD one-button start cannot ignite the engine may include the following: 1. Key demagnetization: Frequently placing the car key near electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, or TVs can interfere with the low-intensity radio waves in the key. Alternatively, if there are strong radio waves nearby, such as from TV towers, airports, or power plants, the one-button start may "fail." 2. Car key battery depletion: If the key shows signs like reduced remote control distance or decreased sensitivity, it is a warning that the key battery is running low. In a state of battery depletion, the one-button start function cannot operate properly, and the battery should be replaced as soon as possible. 3. Vehicle malfunction: In extreme cases such as fuel system issues, dead battery, or electronic component short circuits, it is advisable to directly call the 4S store staff for assistance.
