Can the car still be driven when the differential lock light is on?

When the differential lock indicator light is on, the car should not continue to be driven. The specific functions of the differential lock are as follows: Improving off-road capability: The differential lock is designed to enhance the vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions. When one drive axle spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. Torque distribution: It transfers most or even all of the torque to the non-slipping drive axle, fully utilizing traction to generate sufficient driving force, allowing the vehicle to continue moving. Differential function: It prevents the vehicle from getting stuck or being unable to move normally when one set of wheels loses traction or is off the ground, causing the other set to spin freely.

How to Use Lights When Driving Uphill and Downhill at Night

When the light shifts from one side of the road to the other, it indicates that the vehicle has entered a series of curves, and the driver should slow down and keep to the right. When you can clearly see the license plate number of the vehicle in front, it usually indicates that you are following too closely and must increase the distance. Before starting, turn on the lights to see the road clearly, and turn them off after the vehicle comes to a complete stop; for temporary parking, turn on the parking lights and taillights to attract attention. On streets and suburban roads with streetlights, if the speed is within 30km/h and the reflection of ground light is strong, reduce speed and switch to low beams or parking lights. On streets and roads without streetlights, when driving at speeds above 30km/h, use high beams.

What Causes the Disappearance of Reversing Camera Guidelines?

No guidelines may be due to hidden guidelines or switching to a wide-angle camera. The specific reasons are as follows: Hidden Guidelines: Some car owners may accidentally touch the settings in the menu bar, hiding the guidelines, which can be reactivated. Switching to a Wide-Angle Camera: Of course, other car owners may replace the original reversing camera with an external wide-angle camera, which could also result in the absence of guidelines. Notes on Reversing Guidelines: Green Zone: This area indicates a safe reversing distance, allowing worry-free reversing. Yellow Zone: In this area, the distance is gradually decreasing, so constant observation and speed control are necessary. Red Zone: This area indicates that the reversing limit distance has almost been reached. Continuing to reverse further could lead to a dangerous situation.
