When the car's fuel gauge shows a remaining range of 0, it can still continue to drive for some distance. Around 50 kilometers, which provides sufficient mileage to find a gas station. Some vehicles may display a remaining range of 0 after the warning light comes on, but they can still run. The actual range is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Additional information: Fuel pump cooling: The fuel pump is cooled by gasoline, specifically the gasoline that passes through the fuel pump during operation, not by being fully submerged in gasoline. As long as the car can run normally and the fuel pump supplies fuel properly, it won't be damaged. The vehicle uses a fuel level sensor: to detect the remaining fuel in the tank. The specific principle involves a float on the fuel surface that detects the height of the fuel level and converts it into an electrical signal through a potentiometer.

In which year did automatic transmission cars become popular in China?

Automatic transmission cars became popular in China after 1950. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for constant gear shifting while driving, whereas manual transmission cars require continuous gear changes and clutch operation to adjust vehicle speed. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission features: 1. Acceleration: Pressing the accelerator pedal gradually increases the car's speed. 2. Manual Cruise: After stabilizing the speed, maintaining the accelerator pedal position keeps the car running at a steady speed, with minor adjustments possible based on road conditions to maintain a consistent pace. 3. Automatic Cruise: Once the speed is stable, activating the 'cruise control function' allows the driver to release the accelerator pedal, and the car will automatically maintain a constant speed. The function can be deactivated by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal again. 4. Gradual Deceleration: Gradually releasing the accelerator pedal results in a smooth speed reduction. 5. Emergency Deceleration: Releasing the accelerator pedal and pressing the brake pedal enables rapid deceleration.

What is the sign for slippery road ahead?

The sign for slippery road ahead has a yellow background, featuring a rear view of a car with zigzag tire tracks behind it. Additional information about warning signs is as follows: 1. Introduction: Warning signs are designed to alert drivers and pedestrians to potential hazards ahead. These signs typically have a yellow background with black borders and black symbols, shaped as equilateral triangles with the apex pointing upward. Upon seeing a warning sign, drivers should exercise caution, drive carefully, and reduce speed. 2. Legal regulations: In the People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau), warning signs feature black borders with a yellow background. In Sweden, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Finland, Iceland, Greece, the Republic of Macedonia, and Poland, warning signs have red borders with an amber background. Climate factors influence color choices in these frequently snowy regions, where red-on-amber signs are more noticeable than red-on-white signs. The polar bear warning sign in the Svalbard archipelago was changed from a black bear on a white background to a white bear on a black background (both being triangular signs with red borders). Some countries that typically use white-background signs may opt for amber for road construction or other engineering-related signs.

Can a Beijing gasoline vehicle quota be switched back after converting to an electric vehicle quota?

Yes, it can be switched back. According to Beijing's current policy, vehicle owners only need to schedule an appointment for license plate conversion through the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app, and then visit the designated location to complete the relevant procedures. The new Beijing vehicle quota policy is as follows: 1. Core content: In addition to the existing methods of participating in the regular quota lottery and new energy vehicle quota waiting list as an individual, the policy now includes a new method of quota allocation based on "car-free families" through lottery and point ranking. The policy also favors "car-free families" by granting them significantly higher winning rates in the regular quota lottery and larger new energy vehicle quota allocations compared to individuals, prioritizing the car ownership needs of "car-free families." This is the most significant aspect of the policy adjustment. 2. Increased quotas: The policy has adjusted the timing of quota applications and allocations. Instead of six allocations per year, there will now be three allocations: new energy vehicle quotas in May, and regular quotas in June and December.
