When the air conditioning is on, the Emgrand consumes approximately 11 to 11.5 liters of fuel, with the air conditioning increasing fuel consumption by roughly 2 liters. Types of fuel consumption with car air conditioning: One occurs while driving. When the car speed is above 80 km/h, using the air conditioning is more fuel-efficient. Below 80 km/h, or when idling, the air conditioning relies solely on the engine, leading to more noticeable fuel consumption. Tips to reduce fuel consumption when using air conditioning: When the engine has just started and hasn't stabilized yet, turn on the external circulation for at least five minutes and open the windows to expel hot air from the car. Once the engine idle stabilizes, turn on the air conditioning—this saves fuel and avoids harming the engine; adjust the airflow direction. Since cold air sinks and hot air rises, point the vents upward to balance the temperature and cool the car more effectively; alternate between turning the air conditioning on and off. At speeds below 80 km/h, open the windows to reduce air conditioning fuel consumption. However, at speeds above 80 km/h, open windows increase wind resistance, consuming more fuel than using the air conditioning; turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine to prevent it from automatically turning on during the next start, which would increase engine load and fuel consumption.

Can a motorcycle driver's license still be used if it hasn't been reviewed for 15 years?

A motorcycle driver's license that hasn't been reviewed for 15 years cannot be used. Here are the relevant details: Regulations for overdue license renewal: If a driver's license is overdue for renewal, it can still be renewed normally if the delay does not exceed one year. If the delay is more than one year but less than three years, the license will be in a "revocable cancellation" status, and it can be restored by retaking the subject one exam. If the delay exceeds three years, the license will be forcibly canceled and cannot be restored. In this case, the only option is to retake all the exams to obtain a new license. Renewal period: Generally, a new license is valid for 6 years. If there are no full-point records within the first 6-year validity period, the next renewal period will be 10 years. The expiration date is indicated on the license, and the renewal process must be completed in person within 3 months before the expiration date.

Are Electric Charging Piles Universal?

Electric charging piles are universal. In China, all newly produced new energy vehicles, including pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, or hybrid vehicles, must comply with national standards and use standardized charging piles. Therefore, as long as the electric vehicle is produced by a qualified domestic manufacturer, the charging pile used will be universal. In terms of safety, electric charging piles explicitly prohibit unsafe charging modes, effectively preventing accidents such as electric shocks and equipment fires, ensuring the safety of both the vehicle and the user during charging. Regarding compatibility, users only need to update the communication protocol version to ensure that new power supply equipment and electric vehicles can maintain basic charging functionality.

Can You Make a U-Turn When the Light is Red?

Generally, you cannot. Below are the relevant rules regarding making a U-turn at a red light: Principles for making a U-turn at an intersection: At intersections with a dedicated U-turn sign and four small characters beneath it, U-turns are allowed regardless of whether the light is red or green. At intersections with a U-turn sign but without those four small characters, U-turns are only permitted when the light is green, but you must yield to oncoming straight-moving vehicles. At intersections where left turns are allowed but there is no dedicated U-turn sign, you must wait for the left-turn green light to make a U-turn. At intersections where left turns are allowed but there is no dedicated U-turn sign, and if the traffic light does not distinguish between left turns and straight movements, you must wait for the green light to make a U-turn while yielding to oncoming straight-moving vehicles. At intersections where left turns are allowed but there is a no U-turn sign, U-turns are prohibited. All intersections that prohibit left turns also prohibit U-turns. Precautions for making a U-turn at a red light: When making a U-turn at a crossroad, you should first drive forward beyond the crosswalk before completing the U-turn maneuver, meaning it is forbidden to make a U-turn over the crosswalk. Vehicles can make a U-turn where there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.
