First, check if there is an external GPS signal receiver by following the wires. If there is no visible external device, inspect the undercarriage, with a focus on the upper part of the vehicle. Since satellite positioning is required, a positioning device is necessary, and the satellite signal should not be heavily shielded; otherwise, positioning will fail. Below are relevant introductions about the positioning system: 1. Introduction One: A positioning system is an interconnected assembly or device designed to determine spatial positions. This system ensures that at any given moment, any point on Earth can observe at least four satellites simultaneously, allowing the satellites to collect the longitude, latitude, and altitude of the observation point for navigation, positioning, and time synchronization functions. This technology can guide aircraft, ships, vehicles, and individuals safely and accurately along selected routes to reach their destinations on time. 2. Introduction Two: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite system consisting of 24 satellites covering the entire globe. It is the second-generation satellite navigation system developed by the United States, building upon the Transit satellite navigation system. It incorporates the successful experience of the Transit system and, like the Transit system, the GPS positioning system consists of three main parts: the space segment, the ground control segment, and the user receiver.

What Causes No Airflow from the Rear Air Conditioning in a Lexus?

No airflow from the rear air conditioning in a Lexus may be due to a faulty valve. If there is no airflow when the exhaust valve is open, it is highly likely that the valve is malfunctioning. Another possible cause is leakage at the connection point of the air duct in the evaporator box housing. Additionally, a dirty or clogged air filter in the car's air conditioning system can block the air vents. When driving for extended periods in poor air quality conditions, the air filter is more prone to clogging with debris. Below are some methods for maintaining your car's air conditioning system: 1. Avoid randomly adjusting the air conditioning vent direction: When using the air conditioning, not paying attention to the direction of airflow can reduce its effectiveness. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, the correct approach is to direct the vents upward when using the cooling mode and downward when using the heating mode. 2. Regularly start the air conditioning in winter: In regions with milder winters, some car owners may not use the air conditioning at all during the season. Prolonged disuse can cause the rubber seals to age and the lubricating oil on internal components to dry out. Starting the air conditioning periodically allows the components to be lubricated, maintaining optimal condition. Therefore, it is advisable to start the air conditioning at least once a week during winter.

How many points will be deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat?

No points will be deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat. The reasons are as follows: No explicit regulations: In relevant laws and regulations such as the "Road Traffic Safety Law," "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," and "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law," there are no restrictions or penalties regarding children sitting in the front passenger seat. Local regulations: However, some provinces and cities have issued local regulations to impose restrictions. The dangers of a child sitting in the front passenger seat are as follows: Danger index: If the danger coefficient of the driver's seat is set at 100%, the danger coefficient of the front passenger seat is 101%, while the danger coefficient of the rear seat behind the driver is 73.4%, and the danger coefficient of the other rear seat is 74.2%. The lowest danger coefficient is the middle position in the rear seat, with a danger coefficient of 62.2%. During a collision: Since the seat belts in the car are safety devices specifically designed for adults, in the event of a collision, if a child only uses the seat belt, it may cause severe damage to the abdomen, spine, and other areas.

Is It Overloading to Have Five Adults and One Child?

For vehicles with a rated seating capacity of six or more, it is not considered overloading. However, for a sedan carrying five adults and one child, it is considered overloading. Below is more information about overloading: 1. Reason: Overcrowding does not specify any regulations regarding the height, weight, or age of passengers. This means that as long as they meet the definition of a human being, even an infant counts as a complete individual. If a car is rated for five people, having an extra one-month-old baby would still be considered overloading. 2. Legal Basis: According to Article 92 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a passenger vehicle exceeds its rated passenger capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 RMB will be imposed; if it exceeds the rated passenger capacity by 20% or carries cargo in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 RMB will be imposed. If a freight vehicle exceeds its rated load capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 RMB will be imposed; if it exceeds the rated load capacity by 30% or carries passengers in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 RMB will be imposed. 3. Consequences: If a transport unit's vehicle falls under the situations described in the first or second clause and fails to rectify the issue after being penalized, the directly responsible supervisor will be fined 2,000 to 5,000 RMB.

What Inspections Should Be Done Before Driving on the Highway?

Before driving on the highway, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle's condition, including the fuel gauge, tire pressure, lights, brakes, and other aspects, as well as checking the spare parts. Here are some specific items to inspect before highway driving: 1. Check the fuel level: When driving on the highway, fuel consumption is higher than expected. For example, a car with a fuel consumption of 10 liters per 100 kilometers will consume about 10 liters when driving at 50 km/h for 100 kilometers. However, when driving at 100 km/h on the highway for the same distance, it will consume approximately 16 liters. Highway driving significantly increases fuel consumption, so ensure you have sufficient fuel. 2. Check the tire pressure: While driving, tires undergo compression and expansion, known as tire deformation. This phenomenon is more pronounced when tire pressure is low and speed is high. Under such conditions, the internal temperature of the tire rises abnormally, leading to separation of the rubber layers or fragmentation of the outer tread, which can cause a blowout and result in an accident. Therefore, before highway driving, the tire pressure should be slightly higher than usual. 3. Others: Inspect other components such as engine oil, coolant, fan belts, steering, transmission, lights, and signals.

What does AQS in car air conditioning mean?

Car air conditioning's AQS refers to the Air Quality Sensor in the vehicle. This sensor can detect air turbidity, humidity, and the presence of toxic substances, thereby controlling the air conditioning's internal and external circulation. The AQS system is highly sensitive to vehicle exhaust. During traffic congestion in urban areas, the AQS system will automatically close the external circulation and switch to internal circulation. Cars equipped with the AQS system usually come with automatic air conditioning, which is more intelligent than standard car air conditioning. When driving at high speeds, it's not suitable to open windows for ventilation, so the external circulation function of the air conditioning can be activated. In urban driving, when encountering traffic jams or areas with high dust levels, the internal circulation of the air conditioning should be used. The car's air conditioning system should be cleaned at least once a year. Otherwise, bacteria can proliferate inside the system, and the air blown out when the air conditioning is turned on may have an unpleasant odor. The air conditioning filter should also be replaced regularly to prevent bacterial growth and odors. If the air quality in your area is poor, you can replace the standard air conditioning filter with one that filters PM2.5 particles. This way, even when the external circulation is activated, there's no need to worry.

Which Side of the Spare Tire Should Face Outward During Installation?

When installing a spare tire, the side marked 'inside' should face inward, and the side marked 'outside' should face outward. Relevant information about spare tires is as follows: 1. Spare Tire: It is an extra tire prepared for a car in case of a flat or other tire issues, serving as a temporary replacement. 2. When using a spare tire: The maximum speed is lower than that of a standard tire, and it is advisable to replace it with a standard tire as soon as possible upon reaching the destination. This is usually indicated in prominent multilingual labels. Types of spare tires include: 1. Full-size Spare Tire: A full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 2. Compact Spare Tire: This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use on non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80 km/h. 3. Run-flat Tire: Also known as a 'safety tire' or commonly referred to as a 'run-flat tire,' it is professionally termed as 'tire with run-flat capability.' Compared to regular tires, run-flat tires do not lose air or lose air very slowly when punctured, maintaining the driving profile and keeping the tire bead fixed on the rim, allowing the car to drive to a service station safely for an extended period or temporarily.
