Making a U-turn and driving in the opposite direction on the road will result in a deduction of 3 points. Driving in the opposite direction refers to motor vehicles or non-motor vehicles driving on the left side, which is considered as driving in the opposite direction. Prohibited situations for making a U-turn are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are signs indicating 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn': If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If U-turns are permitted at an intersection, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn and cannot make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, U-turns are not allowed if there is no sign permitting left turns. U-turns are prohibited in the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is stopped in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making a U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and a deduction of 12 points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue driving to the next exit and leave the highway. Do not attempt to make an illegal U-turn. Precautions for making a U-turn: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, and the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians driving normally.

Is it necessary to install an engine guard for the Sylphy?

The Sylphy benefits from installing an engine guard as it helps maintain the cleanliness of the engine compartment by preventing road water, dust, and debris from entering. Engine guards are protective devices designed specifically for different vehicle models, primarily to prevent mud from accumulating around the engine and to shield the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. The Sylphy is a compact sedan with dimensions of 4641 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1450 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712 mm. All variants of the Sylphy are equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, which delivers a maximum power of 99 kW and a maximum torque of 159 Nm.

How to Manually Open the Trunk?

Steps to manually open the trunk: Locate the trunk keyhole on the car, select the trunk key, and turn it to the right. The trunk, also known as the electric tailgate, refers to the rear compartment that can be opened or closed electrically or via remote control. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or use the remote key, and it will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the car or use the remote key, and the trunk will close on its own. Precautions for opening the trunk: 1. Before opening the electric tailgate, ensure there are no obstacles, ceilings, rear walls, or any other objects within the opening range to prevent scratches caused by unnoticed obstructions. 2. When the electric tailgate is fully closed, it will emit a "beep" alarm sound. Do not start the vehicle until you hear this closing alarm to avoid accidents caused by an improperly closed trunk. 3. If the electric tailgate malfunctions, it should be serviced at an authorized manufacturer.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation When Driving in Winter?

When driving in winter, it is advisable to use the internal air circulation mode. During winter, the external temperature is low, and maintaining warmth inside the car is essential. Internal circulation prevents outside air from entering the vehicle, instead recirculating the existing air inside the car. The primary purpose of internal circulation is to block harmful external particles from entering with fresh air while also helping to retain warmth. However, during prolonged highway driving, extended use of internal circulation without ventilation can lead to stale and stuffy air inside the car. In such cases, switching to external circulation is necessary to allow fresh air from outside to enter. Alternating between internal and external circulation ensures both a comfortable cabin temperature and a supply of fresh air, enhancing overall driving comfort.

What is the difference between 5W-30 and 5W-40?

The differences between 5W-30 and 5W-40: 1. Different kinematic viscosity: The kinematic viscosity of 5W-30 oil at 10°C is 30; the kinematic viscosity of 5W-40 oil at 10°C is 40. 2. Different oxidation resistance: 5W-30 oil has poorer oxidation resistance, providing weaker engine protection during startup; 5W-40 oil has better oxidation resistance, offering stronger engine protection during startup. 3. Different detergency: 5W-30 oil is more effective at inhibiting carbon deposits, varnish, and sludge formation or removing these deposits; 5W-40 oil is less effective at inhibiting carbon deposits, varnish, and sludge formation or removing these deposits. In practical applications, the difference between the two is not significant, as both 5W-30 and 5W-40 have a wide applicable temperature range and are all-season motor oils, providing both low-temperature startup fluidity and a thicker oil film at high temperatures for better engine protection.

How Long Can You Keep Your License Plate Number After Selling Your Car?

After selling your car, you can retain the license plate number for one year. If the old car is transferred or scrapped, the original owner who meets the requirement of having used the license plate number for at least one year can use the original license plate number when purchasing either a new car or a used car, or opt for a new license plate number. If the original owner does not apply to use the license plate number within one year, it will be returned to the selection pool and made available to the public. Notes on using the original license plate number: 1. If the identity information of the vehicle owner changes, before processing the transfer, cancellation, or relocation of the original vehicle, it is necessary to first complete the change registration at the vehicle management office. Only after completing these procedures can the original license plate number be used; 2. When purchasing a used car, the original license plate number can also be retained. There are clear regulations that vehicles can be bought and sold, but the license plate number belongs to the original owner and cannot be transferred.

What Does an Engine Overhaul Refer to?

An engine overhaul refers to the complete disassembly of the engine and related components, breaking down the entire engine structure, replacing damaged parts, and then reassembling the engine. The entire process is quite complex. An overhaul is necessary when internal engine components are worn or malfunctioning, requiring the engine to be completely disassembled to inspect which parts need replacement. Additionally, all related components must be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, including the engine block, attached radiator, oil circulation parts, etc. After reassembly, the engine requires a break-in period for testing. Vehicles that have undergone an overhaul should only be driven at low speeds during the break-in period and should avoid aggressive driving. An engine overhaul is a highly technically demanding project, typically taking about a week to complete. Therefore, it is essential to operate the vehicle properly in daily driving to avoid causing excessive damage to the engine.
