A yellow light appearing on the speedometer is an automatic transmission warning light, and you should go to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection as soon as possible. The following are precautions regarding the automatic transmission warning light: 1. Analyze the current situation and do not continue driving blindly to prevent serious damage to the transmission. 2. If the transmission warning light is on but no other abnormalities are found, and the engine speed and vehicle speed are the same as usual, you can continue driving and then arrange to check the cause of the transmission failure as soon as possible. 3. If slipping transmission, transmission not shifting, transmission shifting impact or hesitation, gear engaged but car not moving, or acceleration without movement occurs while driving, you should immediately pull over, turn off the engine, and contact a transmission repair center for rescue and inspection.

Last time I was driving, a yellow warning light suddenly popped up on the dashboard—it was the engine fault light, shaped like a faucet. I felt a bit nervous at the time, but later learned that this is usually a warning signal indicating the car might have minor issues, such as a sensor malfunction or emission system abnormality—not necessarily a major problem. For example, the light can also come on if the fuel cap isn't tightened properly. The key is not to panic: first, slow down and drive steadily, avoiding sudden acceleration or hard braking. Find a safe place to pull over and check the vehicle's condition: ensure the fuel cap is tight, inspect the tires for abnormalities, and listen for unusual engine noises. If everything seems fine, it's still advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to read the fault codes with professional diagnostic equipment for precise troubleshooting. In my case, it was due to a dirty oxygen sensor—after cleaning, the light went off. Regular maintenance, such as changing filters and checking sensors periodically, can help reduce the chances of the yellow light appearing. Remember, the yellow light is the car's way of alerting me to potential risks—addressing it promptly can prevent bigger troubles.

What are the penalties for driving an unlicensed motorcycle with a C1 license?

Driving an unlicensed motorcycle with a C1 license is considered unlicensed driving and will result in a fine, with 12 points deducted from the C1 license. To drive a motorcycle, the driver must hold a D, E, or F license. You need to submit an application by filling out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," providing proof of identity, physical condition, and your current C1 license, and apply for the additional license at the vehicle management office where the C1 license was issued. Those who have just obtained a driver's license can only take other types of driver's license tests after one year. During the application and examination process for the additional license, you must bring your ID card and the previously obtained driver's license. Those who pass the exam can obtain the additional license. Note: To apply for an additional license, you must have a local household registration where you intend to obtain the additional license, and the issuing authority of the driver's license must also be local. If you do not meet the local household registration and local license requirements, the application will not be processed. All types of driver's licenses require the completion of the probationary period before applying for an additional license.

What kind of adhesive should be used for air pipe joint leakage?

Kafuter adhesive can be used for air pipe joint leakage. Here are specific solutions for air pipe joint leakage: Undamaged interface gasket with leakage: If the interface has an undamaged gasket but still leaks, Kafuter adhesive can be used, which is effective and heat-resistant. Using adhesive alone is not feasible: Normally, if the exhaust pipe leaks, using adhesive alone for repair is not feasible. The high temperature of the exhaust pipe reduces the adhesive's bonding ability, and leakage will reoccur over time. Welding repair: If there is only an external opening causing leakage, welding repair is sufficient. If internal corrosion has occurred, a new exhaust pipe needs to be replaced.

Why Does the Car Pull to One Side While Driving?

Driving direction deviation is caused by: 1. Excessive wear on one side of the tires; 2. Damage to the ball joint shock absorber; 3. Inconsistent tire pressure on both sides of the vehicle; 4. Deformation or poor performance of related components in the vehicle's suspension system. The effects of driving direction deviation include: at best, causing tire wear and rendering tires unusable, and at worst, leading to tire blowouts and dangerous situations of vehicle loss of control. Driving direction deviation refers to the phenomenon where the car, while moving straight on a flat road, naturally veers to one side, resulting in the centerline of the front and rear axles not aligning with the centerline of the driving trajectory.

Will the car recover on its own after experiencing jerking sensation when wading through water?

Will the car recover on its own after experiencing jerking sensation when wading through water? Here are the detailed explanations: Reasons: If the water wading is very shallow, it may be that the spark plugs or some electrical components got wet, and they will be fine after drying; If the car stalls immediately after wading through water, never turn on the ignition switch again, otherwise water in the intake manifold will be sucked into the cylinder, causing cylinder scoring and damaging the engine; Insufficient power may be due to wet spark plugs or ignition coils, with the most likely cause being that wading through water has made the air filter damp, blocking the intake and reducing the air intake, leading to a drop in power. Precautions: Slow down or stop to observe. When the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire, wading through water may cause water to enter the engine and stall the car. When wading through water, the speed should not be too fast, otherwise water may enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. If the water level is high, try to detour and avoid forcing your way through.
