After driving continuously for 4 hours, you should rest for at least 20 minutes. Here are specific measures to prevent driving fatigue: 1. Ensure adequate sleep: Get sufficient sleep duration and maintain good sleep quality. Develop a regular bedtime routine and proper sleeping posture, aiming for 7-8 hours of sleep daily. 2. Dietary habits: Consume foods rich in vitamins A, C, B1, and B2 to prevent dry eyes, fatigue, and night blindness. 3. Plan driving time scientifically: Balance work and rest. Arrange driving schedules and plans scientifically and reasonably, taking breaks during the journey. Continuous driving should not exceed 4 hours; after 4 hours of continuous driving, you must stop and rest for at least 20 minutes. For long nighttime drives, have two drivers take turns, alternating rest periods, with each person driving for 2-4 hours, and avoid driving late at night.

Which Part of the Body Does the Safety Headrest Protect in a Rear-End Collision?

Safety headrests provide support to the neck during a rear-end collision. Below is relevant information about rear-end accidents: 1. Introduction to Rear-End Collisions: A rear-end collision occurs when the front of a following vehicle strikes the rear of the leading vehicle in the same lane. This is mainly caused by insufficient following distance (less than the minimum safe distance), delayed driver reaction, or poor braking system performance. 2. Tips to Prevent Rear-End Collisions: Reduce speed in advance when approaching sections with blind spots, such as large undulating roads. Maintain consistent speed when going uphill or downhill, and be prepared for emergency stops or lane changes. Avoid following too closely—maintain a sufficient safe distance and always be ready to brake if the leading vehicle brakes suddenly. Try to avoid emergency braking whenever possible. If a situation arises, decelerate in advance and use light braking to alert the following vehicle. Novice drivers should avoid using the fast lane whenever possible.

Where is Antu Sheng engine oil produced?

Antu Sheng engine oil was produced in 2017. The following is an introduction to engine oil knowledge: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and cushion shocks in the engine. It is hailed as the 'blood' of automobiles. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important component of lubricating oil. 2. Requirements: As a type of machinery, engines have common requirements for lubricating oil similar to general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. However, engines are also a special type of machinery, and their requirements for lubricating oil have unique aspects.

What are the causes of transmission control module failure?

Transmission control module failure can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive transmission temperature: After high-intensity driving, the transmission temperature may rise abnormally, triggering the warning light. In this case, simply park the vehicle and wait for the temperature to naturally return to normal. 2. Insufficient transmission fluid: When the transmission fluid is low, the warning light will illuminate to remind the driver to replenish it promptly. Generally, transmission fluid needs to be replaced or topped up after the vehicle has been driven approximately 50,000-80,000 kilometers. 3. Transmission gear slippage: If the warning light is triggered due to gear slippage, it is necessary to visit a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection.

What to Do When Windshield Washer Fluid Freezes?

During winter when temperatures drop, windshield washer fluid can easily freeze. Here are three methods to address this situation: 1. Sun Thawing Method: If the sun is strong, you can park the car under the sun at noon and open the front hood to let it bask in the sunlight. As long as the washer fluid isn't severely frozen, it will thaw after some time. 2. Warm Water Thawing Method: If sunlight doesn't thaw the washer fluid, you can add some warm water to the washer fluid reservoir. Once the fluid thaws, promptly drain all the fluid from the reservoir to prevent it from freezing again. 3. Garage Thawing Method: If you have access to a warm garage, you can drive the car inside and preferably start the engine. Utilizing the garage temperature and the engine heat will quickly thaw the fluid. Mixing washer fluid with tap water makes it prone to freezing. When draining the fluid, continuously spray the front hood windshield for a while until no more water comes out, then refill with washer fluid. To prevent washer fluid from freezing, it's also important to learn how to choose the appropriate washer fluid.
