Pull over and wait for rescue. Do not continue to operate to prevent causing more serious damage. Go to a 4S shop for inspection and add transmission oil to improve the lubrication effect of the transmission gear oil.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, my Audi A4L once experienced a transmission issue while still being drivable. I immediately reduced speed, avoided sudden acceleration or braking, and maintained smooth driving to minimize transmission load. When the warning light is on but the car can still move, it usually indicates minor problems like sensor malfunctions or software bugs. Drive directly to an authorized Audi service center for inspection—don't prolong the distance. Monitor the dashboard during the trip; if you notice jerking or worsening warnings, pull over and call for assistance. Safety first—never risk long-distance self-driving. Pro tip: always keep an OBD scanner handy to read trouble codes yourself and identify the issue, which helps technicians address it faster. Regular maintenance, such as transmission fluid changes, is crucial to prevent similar problems. Remember, addressing issues promptly is far better than costly major repairs later.

What are some auspicious phrases for passing the driving test smoothly?

Don't be afraid of the driving test, be bold and careful, steady and calm; prepare well before the test, and don't rush the details. Subjects: The test is conducted in order of Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. In the test items of Subject 3, the new regulations circulating online also pay more attention to the driver's safety and civilized awareness. Retest: Subjects 2 and 3 of the driving test can only be taken five times each. If you fail, you have to pay the tuition fee again. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 and No. 125, if you still fail the fifth scheduled test for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills, all the other subjects that have passed the test will be invalidated. If you want to get a driver's license, you can only re-register and pay the tuition fee to the driving school.

Why does the dashboard show low tire pressure when the tires are fine?

If the low tire pressure warning persists after inflating the tires, it's because you haven't recalibrated the tire pressure. Simply recalibrate the tire pressure through the central control system. If the warning appears some time after inflation but there are no punctures in the tires, it may be due to air leakage caused by wheel deformation. It is recommended to check the wheels and replace them if necessary. Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to the normal tire pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair, then reinflate; If the warning appears some time after inflation but there are no punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by wheel deformation. It is recommended to check the wheels and replace them if necessary.

Will Running a Red Light Always Be Captured?

Running a red light may not always be captured because: not all intersections have cameras; surveillance cameras may have monitoring functions, but traffic police usually do not collect signal light monitoring data unless an accident occurs. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to drive when the red light is on and prohibits passage. The determination of running a red light requires three photos: the vehicle crossing the stop line, the vehicle reaching the middle of the intersection, and the vehicle arriving at the opposite intersection. Capturing these three photos will confirm the violation. If there are cameras, the vehicle will be photographed. Whether it is a left turn or going straight through a red light, it is considered illegal. According to Article 89 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles that do not follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, signs, markings, and police commands, will be penalized with 6 points. If both the left turn and straight signals are green, going straight from a left turn lane violates the designated lane rule. When the left turn signal is red, running the red light should be penalized. The definition of running a left turn red light: Running a red light is determined by the vehicle's stop line. Crossing the line when the light is red is illegal. The surveillance mainly records the vehicle's movement during the red light, focusing on significant positional changes. If the front wheels just cross the stop line when the light turns red and the vehicle stops immediately, the traffic police will not penalize it. However, if the vehicle continues to drive completely after crossing the line, it is considered illegal and will be penalized. This means the vehicle completes crossing the line during the red light, continues driving, and fully enters the intersection. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow signals and circular signals. When arrow signals are present, first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are allowed. However, if the right-turn arrow signal is red, right turns are prohibited; otherwise, it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light. If the front wheels just cross the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed; wait for the next green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, judge accordingly. If there is no countdown and the vehicle is close to the intersection at high speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to late braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motorized or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow motor vehicle signal instructions. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not illegal in the following situations: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the violation. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, even electronic police cannot see clearly.

Which is More Expensive: Hiring a Designated Driver or Taking a Taxi?

Hiring a designated driver is cheaper for long distances, while taking a taxi is cheaper for short distances. Below is relevant information about designated driving: Precautions for hiring a designated driver: Clarify who is responsible for lost property in the car during the designated driving process. If it cannot be proven that the loss was caused by the customer, it should be considered a breach of contract, and the resulting losses should be borne by the designated driver and the designated driving company. Clarify the designated driving contract. Whether signing a designated driving agreement is valid should be analyzed case by case. If the customer and the designated driver sign an agreement beforehand (i.e., before drinking), the agreement is naturally valid. Clarify who is responsible for traffic accidents during the designated driving process. In cases where the designated driver is at fault for a traffic accident, if the vehicle involved has insurance, the insurance company should provide compensation first (the insurance company can then seek compensation from the at-fault designated driver). If there is no insurance, the designated driver is responsible. How to apply to be a designated driver: Apply, choose the designated driving platform you wish to join, and complete the registration. Receive your work badge, agreement forms, and other designated driving-related items, then install and activate the driver-side software.

How to Repair Scratched Wheel Hubs?

If the wheel hub is only superficially scratched, it will merely affect the appearance without impacting the performance of the car tires. However, if the scratch exposes the primer, the affected area will wrinkle and gradually expand, potentially leading to rust and corrosion over time. If the edge of the wheel hub is scratched, it should be repaired promptly, as severe damage can cause the tire to not fit tightly, resulting in air leakage. The process for repairing scratched wheel hubs is as follows: 1. Clean the wheel hub thoroughly to remove any dirt; 2. Apply paint and oil, using tape around the scratched area to prevent accidental application to other parts; 3. After the wheel hub is completely dry, use water-resistant paper dipped in soapy water to wipe the area, polish it with a mixing machine, and then apply wax; 4. Scratched wheel hubs can be repaired, provided the damage is not severe. If the wheel hub is deformed or broken, it cannot be repaired.
