They can be driven for a long time, but attention should be paid to the traffic restriction times. The following is the relevant introduction: Traffic restriction times for out-of-town vehicles: From 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning and from 17:30 to 19:30 in the afternoon from Monday to Friday; as long as these time periods are avoided, it is acceptable. You can apply for one traffic restriction exemption per month, which requires online reservation. Regulations: Article 11, Item 4 of the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Road Traffic Safety Violation Penalty Regulations": Drivers of vehicles that violate the provisions of the "Notice of the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Bureau on Non-Locally Licensed Passenger Vehicles Having to Drive According to Designated Routes and Areas During Morning and Evening Peak Hours" will be fined; according to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," 3 points will be deducted for each violation.

I've been working in Shenzhen for almost ten years. It's not that you can't drive an out-of-town car long-term, but there are many restrictions that give me a headache. During weekday rush hours, such as 7-9 AM and 5:30-7:30 PM, out-of-town cars are not allowed in the city's core areas like Futian and Nanshan. I accidentally violated the traffic restriction once and got fined 500 RMB with points deducted. If you want to drive long-term, it's best to apply for a local Yue B license plate, which requires a lottery or auction—neither is cheap, and the lottery queue is long. A friend of mine tried applying for a temporary pass, but it's only valid for 14 days, and going back and forth to apply is too much hassle. Additionally, parking fees are high, with fewer spots and double charges for out-of-town cars in residential areas. All things considered, it's better to switch to a local car or take the subway or bus for peace of mind, especially during rush hours when Shenzhen's metro is more convenient.

The Difference Between Air Recirculation and Fresh Air Mode

The differences between air recirculation and fresh air mode are as follows: 1. Air recirculation works by closing the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the vehicle: When the air conditioning is turned on, only the air inside the vehicle circulates. When the fan is not turned on, there is no gas circulation inside the vehicle. 2. Fresh air mode works by using the fan to exchange air between the inside and outside of the vehicle: It brings outside air into the vehicle and expels the inside air to the outside. Even when the fan is not turned on, the vehicle can still allow airflow to enter and refresh the air inside. 3. Whether to use air recirculation or fresh air mode depends on the driving scenario: If driving on the highway for a long time, the air inside the vehicle can become stale, and opening the windows can create significant wind noise. In this case, turning on the fresh air mode can help replace the air inside the vehicle, and it also filters out poor-quality air. If driving in the city during rainy, snowy, or poor air quality conditions, closing the windows and turning on the air recirculation mode of the air conditioning is a good choice.

What does a white parking line indicate?

White parking spaces indicate that these are paid parking spots. In areas with white markings, it's necessary to check roadside signs to confirm whether parking is actually permitted, as not all white lines along the road signify parking spaces. Even in paid parking zones, vehicles cannot be parked at all times; parking must comply with the instructions on roadside signs, such as "No parking during daytime," "Free parking at night," "Penalty for overtime parking," or "Paid parking hours." Below is more information about parking spaces of different colors: Yellow parking spaces: These indicate reserved parking spots. Reserved parking spaces are typically designated for special vehicles, such as fire trucks. If the yellow marking is a solid line, it means "No parking"—areas marked with a single solid yellow line or yellow curbs do not permit parking. If the yellow marking is a dashed line, it allows for temporary parking but prohibits long-term parking. Blue parking spaces: These indicate free parking spots. However, there are two scenarios where penalties may apply: First, parking for more than a day or longer is prohibited, as blue parking spaces are not meant for vehicles to occupy for extended periods maliciously. Additionally, some blue dashed-line parking spaces may specify time-limited parking, so overtime parking should be avoided. Second, some blue-lined parking spaces may have arrows indicating the parking direction, which also requires attention.

What causes a red light flashing inside the car?

The flashing red light inside the car is an indicator light for the activated vehicle anti-theft function. Here is an introduction to car anti-theft locks: 1. Car anti-theft system: It refers to a system designed to prevent the theft of the car itself or items inside the car. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuit, alarm device, and actuators. 2. The earliest car door locks were mechanical locks: They were only used to prevent car doors from opening automatically while driving to avoid accidents, serving only for driving safety and not for anti-theft purposes. With social progress, the development of science and technology, and the continuous increase in car ownership, later manufactured cars and trucks were equipped with key-operated door locks. These locks only control one door, while other doors are opened or locked using the door lock buttons on the interior door panels.

What does 'Battery Discharge, Please Start the Engine' mean?

Battery discharge prompting engine start usually indicates battery aging or insufficient charge storage. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, functioning as a DC power source. Its primary roles are: providing strong starting current (approximately 10A) to the starter motor during engine ignition, and assisting the generator in powering electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded. 2. Key factors affecting battery lifespan include: vehicle condition, road conditions, and driving habits. Generally, newer vehicles preserve batteries better due to more efficient motors. For older vehicles, especially after major component replacements like starter motors or generators, battery failure becomes more common because most owners opt for non-OEM replacement parts given the significant price difference between genuine and refurbished components in the market.

How to Set Up Automatic Car Door Locking?

Automatic locking can be set up as follows: 1. Put the gear in the P position. 2. Turn the key to the ON position with all four doors closed. 3. Press the lock button (hold for 6 seconds). 4. Observe the hazard warning lights on the dashboard flash twice. 5. The automatic locking activation is now complete. Speed-sensing automatic locking, also known as automatic locking while driving, is an electronic device that automatically presses the door lock button when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental opening of the doors. This means that when the vehicle reaches a certain preset speed, the doors will automatically lock. The preset speed is usually set by the manufacturer, typically between 10-20 km/h.

What is the biggest problem with flood-damaged cars?

Flood-damaged cars are generally categorized into three levels: water-soaked cars, water-logged cars, and fully submerged cars. Water-soaked cars suffer minimal damage to the vehicle body, as a small amount of water entering the interior typically does not cause significant harm. Water-logged cars, where the water level reaches the waistline of the vehicle, usually experience corrosion to the electronic wiring, engine compartment, and interior. Although these cars can be repaired and used again, they pose significant hidden dangers. Fully submerged cars, where the water level exceeds the roof, can only be scrapped. Fully submerged cars are further divided into three scenarios: water level above the exhaust pipe but below half-wheel height, water level exactly at half-wheel height, and water level above half-wheel height. Generally, water reaching half-wheel height can already affect the car. Below is a detailed explanation: Water level above the exhaust pipe: If the water only covers the exhaust pipe, simply move the car away promptly. Water in the exhaust pipe will not be sucked back into the engine, and engine stalling is primarily due to water entering the engine's intake system, unrelated to the exhaust pipe being submerged. Water level exactly at half-wheel height: If the water reaches exactly half-wheel height, the car usually will not leak. However, if the car remains submerged for an extended period and the sealing strips have aged, leakage may occur. In such cases, drive the car to a 4S shop, dismantle the interior, and clean and dry it. Water level above half-wheel height: If the water exceeds half-wheel height, the engine may take in water, and the interior may also leak. Under no circumstances should the engine be started to avoid damage to the engine or electronic components. Additionally, if the car is submerged and starting it causes damage, the insurance company will not cover the costs.
