In vehicles, OFF means turn off, while ON means turn on. The OFF light on a car mainly refers to ESP-OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing. If the ESP-OFF light on the car's dashboard comes on, it means the vehicle's electronic stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. Below are relevant details: If the ESP-OFF light is on due to a system malfunction, the vehicle should be taken to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. There are many reasons why the warning light may come on, such as wiring faults, sensor damage, incorrect signals from the electronic control unit, or a weak battery.

Where is the clutch located in a car?

The clutch in a car is located on the far left. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals arranged from left to right: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The left foot controls the clutch pedal, while the right foot operates the accelerator and brake. The principle of the clutch: When the clutch pedal is depressed or released, it temporarily disengages or gradually engages the engine from/with the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power input to the gearbox. Precautions for clutch usage: 1. When the engine is running, do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal; 2. When using the clutch, disengage quickly but engage slowly - the pedal should be depressed smoothly and released gradually; 3. During temporary stops or when waiting at red lights with the engine still running, shift to neutral and do not use the clutch to cut off power.

How to Lift a 6-Month Driver's License Suspension?

Methods to lift a 6-month driver's license suspension: First, you must accept the penalty at the public security authority before you can retrieve your driver's license within the statutory period. According to Article 113, Paragraph 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the suspension period of a motor vehicle driver's license is calculated from the effective date of the penalty decision. If the driver's license is detained before the penalty decision takes effect, each day of detention offsets one day of the suspension period. Article 110 of the same law stipulates that traffic police officers on duty who believe a road traffic violator should be penalized with a driver's license suspension may first detain the license and transfer the case to the traffic management department of the public security authority within 24 hours. The violator must report to the traffic management department within 15 days to accept the penalty. Only after accepting the penalty within 15 days, receiving the penalty decision from the public security authority, and obtaining the administrative penalty decision document for the license suspension does the penalty decision take effect.

How to Check the Date on a Tire?

Tire dates can be identified by looking at the letters and numbers on the sidewall of the tire. The last four digits indicate the production date of the tire. For tires manufactured after 2000, the last four digits of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) represent the production date. Among these four digits, the last two indicate the production year (e.g., 'xx18' means the tire was produced in 2018), while the first two digits represent the production week (e.g., '3518' means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2018). Generally, the shelf life of a car tire is three years, as tires are primarily made of rubber, which has a three-year shelf life. Therefore, tires should be replaced every three years. When purchasing tires, always choose those with the most recent production date.

What to Do After Accumulating 12 Demerit Points on Your Driver's License?

After accumulating 12 demerit points on your driver's license, the license will be confiscated, and the traffic police department that issued the penalty will provide an enrollment notice. Take this notice to a driving school to register and participate in the required training. If the driver discovers through self-inquiry that their points have been fully deducted, they can also register themselves with their driver's license, which is equally valid. The training period lasts for 5 days, with sessions held every morning. The curriculum includes topics such as Road Violation Points and Penalties, Driver Psychological Quality and Traffic Safety, and Road Traffic Safety Laws and Regulations. After completing all the courses, the school will issue a training completion certificate. Once the exam is passed, the driver can regain their driver's license.
