Continuous driving for 4 hours is considered fatigued driving, for the following reasons: According to Article 62 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the following acts are prohibited when driving a motor vehicle: 1. Driving when the doors or compartments are not properly closed; 2. Hanging or placing items within the front or rear windows of the motor vehicle's cab that obstruct the driver's view; 3. Making or receiving calls on handheld phones, watching TV, or other acts that hinder safe driving; 4. Turning off the engine or coasting in neutral when going down a steep slope; 5. Throwing items onto the road; 6. Riding a motorcycle with hands off the handlebars or hanging items on the handlebars; 7. Driving a motor vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping for a break or stopping for less than 20 minutes; 8. Honking the horn in areas or sections where honking is prohibited.

Should You Shift to Neutral at a Red Light with an Automatic Transmission?

When waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission car, it is recommended to shift to neutral. If the wait is longer, you can also engage the handbrake. Here are the relevant details: 1. In situations like waiting at traffic lights, traffic jams, or picking up passengers where temporary parking is required, many drivers are accustomed to the "D gear + brake pedal" method. However, this habit is not ideal. If the parking time is short (e.g., within 20 seconds), the gear lever can remain in D position while only pressing the brake pedal. 2. For slightly longer waits, it is best to use "N gear + handbrake" to reduce driver fatigue and prevent the automatic transmission fluid from overheating, which could affect its quality.

How to Remove Odor from a New Car?

Here are quick methods to eliminate odors from a new car: 1. Use bamboo charcoal bags, which have strong odor-absorbing capabilities and are both long-lasting and fast-acting; 2. Develop the habit of opening doors and windows before driving to allow circulating air to dilute and disperse toxic gases inside the cabin, and try to keep windows open as much as possible while driving; 3. Use fruit peels, such as pomelo and lemon, which also have odor-removing effects. Additional information: The reason for odors in new cars is the inclusion of various materials during manufacturing, such as leather, plastic panels, soundproofing cotton, adhesives, and asphalt. These materials often contain odors like formaldehyde, which accumulate in the confined space of the car. Poor air circulation makes it difficult for the odors to dissipate, resulting in a pungent smell when entering the car.

What does BCM mean in automotive circuits?

Automotive BCM refers to the Body Control Module, which primarily controls the electrical appliances in the vehicle body, such as the entire vehicle's lighting system, wipers, washers, door locks, power windows, sunroof, power mirrors, and remote control. The following are the functions of the automotive BCM: 1. Receives input information from sensors and converts the input information into signals that the microprocessor can receive; 2. After outputting execution commands, converts weak signals into execution commands and corrects them after outputting fault information; 3. Performs operational analysis, calculates execution command data based on information parameters, and compares the input information with standard values; 4. Stores, calculates, analyzes, and processes information, analyzes the programs used for output values, stores the characteristic parameters of the vehicle model, data during calculations, and fault information.

Where is the Ford Transit cabin air filter located?

Ford Transit cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the passenger side glove box - this is the only way to access and replace the filter. Below are the functions of the Ford Transit cabin air filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Filters out solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. from the air; has strong and lasting moisture adsorption capability. 4. Prevents windshield fogging to maintain clear visibility for safe driving; provides fresh air to the cabin to protect occupants from inhaling harmful gases; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes.

What Causes Soft Brakes in Paladin?

Reasons for soft brakes in Paladin: Brake fluid contamination: If there is no brake fluid as the medium, or if the brake fluid's working performance is poor, it will result in insufficient friction between the brake pads and brake discs, leading to soft and ineffective braking. Air gap formation: Since brake fluid has certain hydrophilic properties, the longer the car is driven, the more water gets mixed in. After the water evaporates, an air gap forms between the brake pads and brake discs, causing soft and ineffective braking. Decreased reservoir fluid level: Each time the brake pedal is pressed, the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir drops, and it rises again when the pedal is released. To ensure smooth fluid level changes, some vehicle models have vent holes in the reservoir cap (similar to the principle of vent holes in automatic transmissions, manual transmissions, and axles).

What Causes the Skoda Octavia Dashboard Brake Light to Flash?

Skoda Octavia dashboard brake light flashing reasons are as follows: Low brake fluid: It is an essential part of the car's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is transmitted from the pedal to the brake master cylinder piston, through the brake fluid, to the brake calipers at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle; add brake fluid. Tail light bulb failure: The brake fluid reservoir has upper and lower lines. When the brake fluid level falls below the lower line, the sensor next to the reservoir detects this and triggers the brake light on the dashboard. If the brake fluid level drops rapidly, it indicates a leak in the braking system; replace the bulb. Worn brake pads: Severely worn brake pads can also cause the light to stay on; replace the brake pads.
