I've been driving in Shanghai for almost 30 years, and with a Shanghai license plate, there's absolutely no problem driving on the Outer Ring Road—no restrictions at all. The Outer Ring Road is S20, a large circular route mainly consisting of ground-level sections. Vehicles with Shanghai plates can enter anytime they want; it's the out-of-town plates that have to worry about traffic restrictions, only being prohibited from entering the Inner Ring Elevated Road during peak hours. I drive from Pudong to Jiading via the Outer Ring Road every day and never have to check the restriction rules—it's incredibly hassle-free. However, beginners should pay attention to navigation prompts. Temporary controls due to construction or events may require detours, so having a map app handy helps avoid violations. The advantage of a Shanghai plate here is the freedom and convenience it offers for travel.

How to Interpret the Dashboard Icons of a Bora Car?

Bora car dashboard icons are interpreted as follows: 1. Red lights are generally danger warning lights. If these red indicator lights are illuminated and ignored, they can either have a significant impact on driving safety or cause considerable damage to the vehicle itself. 2. Yellow lights are fault indicator lights. When yellow lights on the dashboard illuminate, they inform the driver that a certain system function of the vehicle has been lost. For example, if the ABS warning light comes on, it directly means that the ABS is no longer functioning, which could lead to wheel lock-up during braking. 3. Green indicator lights are status indicator lights. They indicate the working state of the vehicle, such as the power mode indicator of the automatic transmission or the HINLO for body height adjustment. These are not warnings to the driver but rather indicate the current state of the vehicle.

Does the car air conditioner consume the same amount of fuel in first gear and fourth gear?

There is basically little difference in fuel consumption between the first gear, fourth gear, or other gears of the car air conditioner, and it can be negligible. Here are some tips for using the car air conditioner: 1. Ventilate before turning it on: After the car has been exposed to the sun for a long time, you should first open the four doors and the sunroof to allow the air inside the car to circulate for 3 minutes. This can quickly reduce the temperature inside the car, and the cooling effect of the air conditioner will be better at this time. 2. Use the internal circulation reasonably: The internal circulation blocks the hot air outside, creating a sealed space inside the car, allowing the air inside to circulate quickly under the action of the air conditioner to achieve rapid cooling. After the temperature inside the car has dropped, it is recommended to turn on the external circulation every 30 minutes to purify the air inside the car, and then switch back to the internal circulation after 5 minutes. 3. Turn off the air conditioner in time: Turn off the air conditioner 5 minutes before parking, which not only protects the engine but also saves fuel.

What kind of oil should be added if the key insertion and removal is not smooth?

For keys that are not smoothly inserted or removed, you can choose to add lock lubricating oil. Below is a brief introduction to other solutions: 1. B-type pencil: Purchase a B-type pencil, scrape the pencil lead into fine powder, and blow a small amount into the keyhole. Be sure to use a B-type pencil, and the higher the B number, the better. B indicates graphite content, and a higher number means more graphite content (such as 2B, 4B, 6B, etc. Do not choose "H" pencils, as H indicates clay content, which is very hard. If not scraped finely, it can damage the keyhole). Graphite is very soft and is suitable as a keyhole lubricant. The advantage is stable performance, no corrosion to the keyhole, and long-lasting lubrication. The disadvantage is that improper handling may stain hands and clothes black. 2. Paraffin wax: Apply paraffin wax to the key and then insert it into the keyhole. This reduces the resistance of key insertion, does not attract dust, and does not stain hands or clothes.
