If only the front wheels cross the stop line after the red light, while the rear wheels do not, and then the car reverses back behind the stop line, this triggers the electronic eye to take a photo once when crossing and again when reversing. Although this does not count as running a red light, it is still a traffic violation. If the reversal is illegal, a warning or fine may be imposed. Below is the working principle of red light cameras: 1. Pressure sensing by induction lines: Electronic eyes use induction lines to sense the pressure from vehicles on the road. The signal is collected by sensors and sent to the central processor, where it is temporarily stored in a register (this data is valid within one red light cycle). 2. Pulse signals: Within the same time interval (red light cycle), if two pulse signals are generated simultaneously, it is considered 'valid.' That is, if the front wheels cross the line during a red light while the rear wheels do not, only one pulse is generated. Without two consecutive pulses, no photo is taken.

Which part of the blue zone in car air conditioning is the coldest?

The darker the blue, the lower the air conditioning temperature. Precautions for using car air conditioning include: 1. Turn off A/C during startup and rapid acceleration: Since the air conditioning (non-independent type) consumes part of the engine's power when turned on, it is best to turn off the A/C during vehicle startup and rapid acceleration, and then turn it on after the vehicle starts moving. This prevents insufficient engine power during acceleration and startup while also saving fuel. 2. Control the direction of the air vents: Based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, when controlling the air vents, drivers can follow the guideline of pointing the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating. 3. Do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after exposure to the sun: After a car has been exposed to the sun, the interior temperature is usually very high. In such cases, drivers should not immediately start the air conditioning. It is best to first open the windows for ventilation and wait for the hot air to dissipate before turning on the air conditioning.

What is Rear Side Privacy Glass?

Rear side privacy glass refers to the vehicle's side windows that are coated with a special layer. Here is some expanded information about rear side privacy glass: 1. Purchase: When selecting privacy glass, it is important to note that according to the safety standards for automotive safety glass specified in the "Technical Requirements for the Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles," the visible light transmittance of the windshield and other glass used in the driver's viewing area (the area used by the driver to observe the rearview mirror while driving) must be greater than or equal to 70%. No window glass may have mirror-like reflective sunshade film applied. 2. Compliance Inspection: Vehicle inspection authorities strictly adhere to national standards during inspections. Privacy glass that does not meet the standards will fail the annual inspection, rendering the vehicle unable to be driven on the road. In other words, if the car window film is particularly dark, black, or reflective, especially if the film makes the driver's compartment invisible from the outside, it does not comply with regulations.

Why won't the Ford Focus move when shifted to R gear?

It may be because the gear is not fully engaged and is still in neutral. Here is some information about the Ford Focus: 1. Brand Introduction: The Ford Focus is an A-class family sedan under the Ford brand. In 1991, Ford Motor Company showcased a concept car named GHIA, which later became the prototype for the Focus. 2. Design: The Focus features a reinforced structural design with a cage-type body and the use of high-strength steel plate materials to enhance body rigidity. Both the front and rear impact zones and the door anti-collision beams adopt the same reinforced structural design. The impact zones distribute collision forces evenly across the entire body, thereby preventing passengers from suffering collision injuries and significantly improving shock absorption capabilities.

What's the Difference Between Buying a Car at a 4S Store and an Auto Trade Store?

The differences between buying a car at a 4S store and an auto trade store are as follows: 1. Price difference: The car prices at auto trade stores are mostly on par with 4S stores or vary by a few thousand yuan, depending on the affordability of the local market. 2. Reliability: Auto trade stores source cars from all over the country, and cases of passing off inferior products as high-quality ones are not uncommon. 3. After-sales service quality: Auto trade stores generally lack formal qualifications, especially when it comes to issues like car claims, disputes and buck-passing between auto trade stores and 4S stores often occur. 4. Traps in car loans: Official 4S stores only cooperate with their own auto finance companies and formal banks, with relatively standard and strict credit requirements from the banking system. In contrast, auto trade stores may collaborate with third-party social intermediaries, where there are more traps and schemes.

What to Do If Low Beam Lights Frequently Burn Out?

Here are the solutions for frequently burnt-out low beam lights: 1. The frequent burnout of low beam lights is likely due to an abnormal low beam relay. Checking the low beam relay is relatively simple. 2. First, locate the low beam relay and use a multimeter to measure the output line of the relay to see if there is a 12V output. If there is an intermittent 12V output, it indicates normal operation. 3. If there is no output or a constant 12V output, it means the low beam relay is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. Other reasons for frequent burnout of low beam lights include: 1. Whether the generator's output is normal. If the generator voltage is too high, the generator regulator should be replaced. If the regulator is not available as a separate part, the entire generator assembly needs to be replaced. 2. Check if the amperage of the low beam fuse complies with the manufacturer's specifications. If the fuse amperage is too high, it cannot ensure whether the current passing through the low beam is excessive, and the fuse should be replaced. 3. Loose connections in the headlight plug, leading to unstable voltage in the headlight, or excessive resistance and overheating at the lamp socket pins, causing the headlight pins to burn out.

What Causes Vehicle Shaking During Neutral Idle?

Vehicle shaking during neutral idle is primarily caused by severe engine carbon buildup, ignition system issues, aging engine components, and unstable oil pressure. Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: The most common reason for vehicle shaking due to severe carbon buildup is either a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making the engine difficult to start. Only when the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline does the engine start more easily. After ignition, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is then sucked into the cylinders by the engine's vacuum for combustion, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This alternation between lean and rich mixtures causes unstable idle after a cold start. Additionally, lower temperatures require more fuel for cold starts, and carbon deposits significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check the idle air control valve for carbon buildup. Ignition System Issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak sparking from the spark plugs can also lead to this issue. The solution is to inspect the spark plugs for excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. Aging Engine Components: Vehicle shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts act as the engine's shock absorption system, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, the vibrations will transfer to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing shaking during idle. The solution is to replace the engine mounts at a 4S shop. Unstable Oil Pressure: If you've already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, throttle body, replaced gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience shaking during idle, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor for any abnormalities. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance from the intake pressure sensor can also cause vehicle shaking. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary.
