When you receive the vehicle from the rental company, the fuel tank is already full. Therefore, when returning the car, you must also fill up the fuel tank. The rental fee does not include fuel costs but covers insurance and other expenses. If the fuel tank is not full when you receive the car, you only need to refuel it to the same level before returning it. If you fail to refuel the car to the required level when returning it, the rental company will deduct the fuel cost from your deposit and may also charge a service fee. Here is additional information about car rental: 1. Costs: Typically, the rental fee does not include fuel costs, tolls, parking fees, and other expenses. 2. There are generally three ways for renters to pay for fuel to the rental company: (1) Refuel the tank to full before returning the car. (2) Return the car directly to the rental company and pay the corresponding fuel cost and service fee. (3) Prepay for a tank of fuel before using the vehicle.

What is the Principle of Starting Fluid?

Starting fluid is composed of low-ignition-point compounds, primarily ether, which has a low flash point and is highly volatile, facilitating smooth engine starts in cold conditions. Here are relevant details: 1. Advantages: Due to its volatile nature and low ignition point, starting fluid enables quick and stable engine ignition under harsh weather conditions or insufficient cylinder pressure, effectively preventing excessive drain on the battery, starter motor, and ignition switch caused by cold, damp weather or low cylinder pressure. 2. Extends Battery Life: In extreme cold, it reduces engine start-up time and prolongs battery lifespan. It can be sprayed into the cylinder to aid ignition when winter engine starts are difficult. 3. Precautions: Do not misuse. Cold-start fluid is specifically for assisting engine ignition in winter when starts are challenging—do not confuse cold-weather starting difficulties with normal-temperature starting issues. If the engine struggles to start at normal temperatures, it indicates a fault in the engine or electrical starting system. Blindly using starting fluid in such cases may mask underlying issues, leading to worsened faults or even severe accidents.

What do L, O, and R represent on a car?

These are the three markings L, O, and R, which are the adjustment switches for the rearview mirror, used to adjust the rearview mirror. Turning to L adjusts the left rearview mirror, O turns it off, and R adjusts the right rearview mirror. The car rearview mirror reflects the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these positions clearly and expanding the driver's field of vision. Here is additional information: 1. Installing rearview mirrors: Each vehicle should have a rearview mirror installed on the left and right sides inside the car, with their position and angle adapted to the vehicle model. 2. Before starting the car: The driver must observe through the rearview mirror whether there are any vehicles approaching from the side or rear and other traffic conditions behind, in order to make quick and accurate judgments and decisions. Starting blindly may lead to collisions. 3. Driving on multi-lane roads: When vehicles frequently change lanes, it is even more important to accurately observe the traffic conditions behind and to the side through the rearview mirror at all times. If there is a vehicle approaching from behind, do not change lanes. If a vehicle is overtaking from the side or rear, temporarily refrain from overtaking the vehicle ahead.

Can you turn right on a red light when driving in the right-turn lane?

Whether you can turn right on a red light when driving in the right-turn lane depends on the specific situation: If there is a red right-turn arrow on the traffic light or there is no right-turn lane marking at the intersection, you cannot turn right; If there is no right-turn green arrow on the traffic light and the intersection has a right-turn lane marking, turning right is allowed by default. Situations where turning right on a red light is permitted include: 1. If the intersection has an arrow signal light, right turns are only allowed when the right-turn arrow is green, otherwise turning right is prohibited; 2. If there is a sign prohibiting right turns on red at the intersection, right turns are only allowed when the light is green; 3. If there are no other signs at the intersection, vehicles can turn right on red as long as it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians.
