Continuous driving of a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping for a break or with a break time of less than 20 minutes is considered fatigued driving. Fatigued Driving: It is a serious traffic violation. When a driver is fatigued, their reaction time slows down, they may feel drowsy or sleepy, and their limbs may become weak, making it difficult to promptly detect road traffic conditions and take accurate driving control measures, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. Factors causing fatigued driving: are multifaceted. The fatigue experienced by drivers mainly involves neural and sensory fatigue, as well as physical fatigue caused by prolonged fixed postures and poor blood circulation. Drivers sitting in fixed positions for extended periods with limited movement, highly concentrated attention, and constant processing of external stimuli can lead to blurred vision, soreness in the back and waist, slowed reactions, and reduced driving agility.

I believe fatigue driving isn't just about mileage, but more importantly about time and personal condition. After driving for so many years, I've found that driving continuously for over 200 kilometers makes it easy to lose focus, especially on highways where high speeds can cause blurred vision. The safety recommendation is to stop and rest for about 15 minutes every two hours, drink some water, and take a short walk to reduce accident risks. I remember once when I forced myself to drive 250 kilometers without stopping, I almost rear-ended the car in front. Since then, I've always followed the rule of taking short breaks. Everyone's endurance is different; beginners or those with health issues might need to stop after 160 kilometers.

I often drive long distances, and experience tells me that 250 kilometers is about the limit. Last time I drove back to my hometown, I didn't take a break for 300 kilometers, and by the time I arrived, my vision was blurry and my legs were weak when I got out of the car. It took half an hour of rest to recover. Now I've developed a habit of stopping at a service area every 150 kilometers to stretch my legs, check the car's condition, or have a snack. This method is particularly effective in preventing fatigue and makes traveling much safer. Road conditions also affect fatigue, such as mountain roads or rainy weather, so it's wise to shorten the distance even further.

Fatigue driving is quite dangerous. Personally, I recommend not driving continuously for more than 200 kilometers, especially at high speeds. Taking a break every two hours can effectively prevent drowsiness, as safe travel is crucial. In congested cities or during severe weather conditions, the distance should likely be reduced even further, as mental stress can accelerate fatigue. In short, timely rest is key.

What is the general capacity of a windshield washer fluid reservoir?

Generally, a windshield washer fluid reservoir holds about 4.5 liters. However, the filling capacity varies depending on the vehicle model. For ordinary sedans, adding 2 liters is usually sufficient. The method to add windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. Turn on the wiper switch to spray the fluid onto the windshield; 2. Open the washer fluid filler cap and add a small amount of fluid; 3. Turn on the wiper switch to clean the remaining fluid; 4. When no more fluid sprays out from the nozzles during the second attempt, add more washer fluid. The functions of windshield washer fluid include: 1. Cleaning debris off the windshield; 2. Lowering the freezing point of the liquid; 3. Ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent for good visibility; 4. Eliminating static charges on the glass surface; 5. Reducing friction between the wipers and the glass to prevent scratches.

Is it normal to have a speed of 120 km/h with an engine speed of 3500 rpm?

A speed of 120 km/h with an engine speed of 3500 rpm is not normal; this rpm is relatively high. Generally, most cars maintain an engine speed of around 2000 rpm at 120 km/h. When driving at high speeds, the transmission is usually in a high gear, which helps reduce engine speed and save fuel. Engine speed constantly reflects the working condition of the engine. If the speed is too low, fuel combustion in the cylinders may be incomplete, leading to carbon buildup in the engine, which can cause significant damage over time. Conversely, if the speed is too high, it can result in greater engine wear. Engine speed refers to the number of revolutions an object makes around a circular path per unit of time (different from frequency), with common types including rated speed and maximum speed.

How to turn on the high beam of BYD Qin Pro?

The method to turn on the high beam of BYD Qin Pro is: The high beam switch is located on the combination switch behind the left side of the steering wheel. By operating the combination switch, you can control the lights. The height of the headlights can be adjusted using the adjustment knob on the instrument panel behind the left side of the steering wheel. Choose whether to turn on the high beam according to road conditions. If driving on main urban roads, even at midnight, the road lighting is usually sufficient, so there is no need to turn on the high beam. If driving on mountain roads or in rural areas, turn on the high beam in advance after nightfall to avoid accidents. The BYD Qin Pro adopts BYD's Dragon Face design language, features an open platform, and has a body length, width, and height of 4765mm, 1837mm, and 1500mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2718mm.

What Causes the Clanking Noise During Cold Start?

Cold start clanking noise can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. If there is a clicking sound within the first half minute that disappears afterward, this is usually caused by the expansion of the catalytic converter as it heats up, which is normal; 2. A loud clicking noise during cold start is mostly due to issues with the engine's timing system, such as wear, elongation, or loosening of the timing belt or chain, or the failure of the chain tensioner to maintain proper tension; 3. If the noise occurs only when the air conditioning is turned on, it may be due to friction in the air conditioning belt; 4. If the noise is present only during the initial moment of cold start, it could be a fault in the starter motor, primarily caused by poor return of the starter gear, inadequate lubrication of the one-way clutch, or slow return of the gear being dragged back by the flywheel. This phenomenon is more common in winter.

What is the displacement of a 1.2t engine?

1.2t is equivalent to the displacement of a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Automobile displacement refers to the sum of the cylinder working volume and the combustion chamber volume, usually measured in liters. The displacement of a mini car is less than or equal to 1.0L; the displacement of a compact car ranges from 1.0 to 1.6L; the displacement of a mid-size car ranges from 1.6 to 2.5L; the displacement of a full-size car ranges from 2.5 to 4.0L; the displacement of a luxury car is greater than 4.0L. Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than bore and number of cylinders. Many engine performance indicators are closely related to displacement. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy), resulting in better "power performance."
