You can continue driving if the ESP warning light is on. The reasons for the light being on are: 1. Engine knocking; 2. Poor fuel quality, with carbon deposits accumulated inside the engine cylinders; 3. ESP system malfunction. The ESP consists of four components with the following functions: 1. Sensors for detecting the vehicle's state and the driver's operation; 2. The ECU section for estimating the vehicle's skid state and calculating the required rotational momentum and deceleration to restore to a safe state; 3. The actuator section for controlling the braking force of each wheel and the engine output power based on the calculation results; 4. The information section for alerting the driver about the vehicle's instability.

Is Dual Clutch Suitable for Heavy Throttle?

Dual clutch is not suitable for heavy throttle. Reasons: No matter what type of car it is, starting with heavy throttle while driving will not only damage the car's transmission system and other components. Heavy throttle will increase the car's fuel consumption, and the clutch may slip later. Precautions: Starting with heavy throttle on a dual-clutch car can cause damage, so it is not recommended to accelerate or decelerate abruptly during driving. If the car is frequently driven aggressively, it will not only affect the tires but also the comfort of the car.

Can lane crossing be captured at night?

Lane crossing at night can indeed be captured by traffic cameras, as modern electronic monitoring systems operate 24/7 and are equipped with night vision capabilities to clearly record traffic violations. Lane crossing is a common mistake made by novice drivers, and once detected, it results in fines and penalty points. There are several types of road markings that should not be crossed, mainly the following two. First, the solid white line, which separates lanes traveling in the same direction and is typically found before traffic lights at intersections. Second, the single solid yellow line, which prohibits vehicles from crossing or driving over it in both directions, usually marked on single-lane roads or sections with one motor vehicle lane and one non-motor vehicle lane.

Which gear should be used for long downhill descents?

For long downhill descents, you should shift to the L gear. Below is relevant information about gear shifting: 1. Concept: Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles. 2. Function: It allows the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which is difficult to achieve solely by the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine; the reverse gear of the transmission enables the car to move backward; its neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the drivetrain for extended periods during engine start-up, parking, and coasting.
