The exact duration defined as 'long-term parking' in no long-term parking zones is not specifically stipulated in current traffic regulations. However, if the vehicle is left unattended in such areas, it will definitely receive a ticket. As long as there is someone in the car who can drive away promptly when noticed by traffic police, no penalty will be imposed. Below is relevant information about illegal parking: 1. Legal basis for penalties: Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states that motor vehicle drivers violating road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage shall be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. 2. Illegal parking: Vehicles must not park in sections with no-parking signs/markings, on road segments with separation facilities between motor and non-motor lanes/sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, or construction zones. Parking is also prohibited within 50 meters of intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads under 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, and tunnels.

Having driven for many years, I am very familiar with the regulations prohibiting long-term parking. The usual time limit is around 3 to 5 minutes, meaning you cannot park for too long. For instance, on busy streets or in no-parking zones, drivers must stay in the car with the engine running and stop only briefly. If you exceed the time limit, traffic police will issue a ticket. I remember once in Beijing, I parked for 4 minutes to buy water and ended up with a 200-yuan fine. Nowadays, city regulations are very detailed, varying by location and time: Beijing might allow 3 minutes, Shanghai sometimes has even shorter limits, while rural areas may be more lenient. The key is to pay attention to the signs and traffic flow. To avoid trouble, I always set a timer on my phone to remind myself to leave quickly. Everyone should be mindful of safety and avoid blocking the road—fines are expensive, and it also inconveniences others.

When I first got my driver's license, I didn't understand this time limit either. No long-term parking generally refers to a very short duration, about 2 to 5 minutes, depending on where you are. The driving manual states that temporary parking shouldn't exceed a few minutes, and the driver must remain in the vehicle ready to leave at any time. During my first week of driving, I parked by the roadside for 6 minutes waiting for a friend and ended up getting fined. New drivers often make mistakes because the signs are too complex. I recommend checking local traffic websites for rules or downloading official apps to study. For example, Hangzhou has a clear schedule, allowing only 3 minutes of parking in the city center. In short, don't park for too long for convenience—urge your friend to come out quickly to avoid surprises.

What is the Beijing Hyundai Celesta?

Beijing Hyundai Celesta is the Hyundai Elantra. Below are the specific details about the Elantra: 1. The exterior of the Elantra belongs to the agile and compact type. The headlights and grille are designed to slope upwards, giving a sleek visual impression. The front end is composed of full curves and lines, making it look powerful yet stable. The wave-like lines on the side of the body are Hyundai's signature, with smooth body lines that give it a dynamic appearance. 2. In terms of interior design, the Hyundai Elantra features a very simple layout. The craftsmanship is standard, and the dashboard uses a lot of hard materials. It comes with a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, dual circular mechanical gauges, and a floating LCD screen. 3. In terms of performance, the Elantra is equipped with a 1.6L engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum output of 123 horsepower. The power output could be considered one of the few drawbacks of the Elantra. Of course, it's not necessarily a flaw, as this level of power is sufficient for various driving conditions. However, nowadays, small-displacement engines dominate the mid- and low-end car market, with 1.0T and 1.3T three-cylinder engines becoming increasingly common.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for the New Sagitar 1.6?

The transmission fluid replacement interval for the Sagitar 1.6 is every 60,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 4L. Volkswagen Sagitar transmission fluid replacement methods: 1. Gravity replacement: The method and principle are the same as for engine oil. Using tools to loosen the nut, the transmission fluid will automatically flow out under gravity. This method is the most common and easy to operate, but it cannot completely drain the old transmission fluid. Dirty old transmission fluid may remain in mechanical depressions and dead corners. 2. Circulation machine replacement: New transmission fluid is added to the circulation machine, and the machine's pipes are connected to the transmission's oil lines. The new fluid pushes out the old fluid under the action of the circulation machine. This method cleans the oil lines more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used in the circulation machine, the cleaner the old fluid will be discharged. This method typically uses about 10-15L of fluid per replacement and takes approximately 1 hour. 3. Oil pan removal replacement: This method allows for cleaning the oil filter and flushing the oil pan, addressing the issue at its root. Removing the oil pan is a significant task, and the corresponding labor cost will be higher.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Binyue?

There is an unlock button in the control area on the left side of the steering wheel. Press it to pop up the bonnet, then reach in and pull the latch to open it. Below are the specific functions of the bonnet: 1. Airflow guidance. For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated by the airflow around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the bonnet can effectively adjust the direction of the airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance force, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. 2. Protection for the engine and surrounding components. Under the bonnet are crucial parts of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, fuel lines, braking system, and transmission system, all of which are vital to the vehicle. By enhancing the strength and structure of the bonnet, it can effectively prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rain, and electrical interference, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. 3. Aesthetics. The exterior design of a vehicle is a direct reflection of its value. As an important part of the overall appearance, the bonnet plays a critical role in enhancing visual appeal and embodying the concept of the entire car. 4. Assisting driver visibility. During driving, the driver's ability to correctly judge road conditions and the situation ahead heavily relies on the reflection of natural light and the view ahead. The shape of the bonnet can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, thereby reducing the impact of light on the driver.

How to Turn on the Low Beam Headlights of Haval H6?

To use the low beam headlights of Haval H6, first turn on the headlight switch, then rotate the light switch knob to the low beam position. The following are specific introductions to the high and low beam headlights: 1. The lower limit position of the low beam headlights does not need to be too precise, as long as you can clearly see the road about 20 meters ahead. 2. The high beam headlights can be turned on by pushing the lever outward, but there is a prerequisite for turning on the high beam: the low beam headlights must be on. The high beam cannot be turned on when the light is in other positions (off or position lights). However, pulling the lever inward to flash the high beam once has no restrictions and can be operated even when the lights are off. 3. The headlights have two modes: high beam and low beam. Use low beam on urban roads with streetlights and high beam on roads without streetlights or highways. When passing intersections or overtaking, alternately switch between high and low beams to signal. The position lights, commonly known as "small lights," are used to display the width and length of the vehicle at night, alerting other vehicles and pedestrians to your presence. When you cannot see clearly behind you in the rearview mirror, it's time to turn on the small lights, including during rainy days.
