Methods to determine the distance of the rear vehicle based on the rearview mirror are: 1. If the rear vehicle is located on the outer side of the rearview mirror, it indicates a closer distance; if located on the inner side, it indicates a farther distance. 2. The larger the size of the rear vehicle appears in the rearview mirror, the closer it is; the smaller the size, the farther it is. 3. When the rear vehicle's hood is visible in the interior rearview mirror but the grille is not, the distance is approximately 3 meters. 4. When the rear vehicle's grille is visible in the interior rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 8 meters. 5. When the rear vehicle's wheels are fully visible in the interior rearview mirror, the distance is over 20 meters.

How many kilometers can a car run after the fuel light comes on?

When the fuel light comes on, the car can still run for about 30 kilometers. Start the car and check the fuel gauge on the dashboard. When the fuel pointer reaches E, the low fuel indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the gasoline level is low and needs to be refilled. Normally, when the fuel light alerts, there are at least 8 liters of gasoline remaining in the tank. The larger the engine displacement, the more fuel remains, typically allowing the car to travel at least 50 kilometers. Considering different road conditions, such as mountain roads and traffic congestion, it is generally safe to ensure a driving distance of 30 kilometers. When the fuel light comes on, it is necessary to refuel as soon as possible. Other indicator lights in the vehicle include: 1. Seat belt indicator: Shows whether the seat belt is locked. 2. Door indicator: Displays the status of each door. 3. Oil pressure indicator: Shows the oil pressure condition in the engine. 4. Coolant temperature indicator: Displays the temperature of the coolant in the engine. 5. Handbrake indicator: Shows the status of the vehicle's handbrake.

How many points are deducted for a vehicle crossing the solid line?

Motor vehicles violating the prohibition markings instruction will be penalized with 3 demerit points and corresponding fines. Violating prohibition markings refers to actions such as driving, parking, failing to yield, or illegally occupying lanes against the markings, such as changing lanes over solid lines, making U-turns in no-U-turn sections, or turning in no-turn sections, all of which constitute violations of prohibition markings instructions. Generally, the term 'violating prohibition markings' refers to crossing yellow solid lines. Motor vehicle traffic regulations: 1. Article 42: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night, in hazardous sections, or under adverse weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, the speed should be reduced. 2. Article 43: When motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead sufficient to take emergency braking measures.

How Often Should a Family Car Undergo Annual Inspection?

According to the 2021 new regulations on vehicle annual inspections, family cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Below are additional details: 1. Small passenger vehicles with 5 seats or fewer: New cars require a license review every two years within the first 6 years. This review does not require an on-site inspection; you only need to bring your vehicle license and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office before the end of the expiration month to get a stamp and receive the annual inspection sticker. 2. Vehicles older than 6 years and passenger vehicles with more than 5 seats: Both require an annual inspection. This inspection requires an on-site test. Before the annual inspection expiration date each year, you must first take your vehicle to an inspection station for testing. Then, bring the inspection report along with your vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office window to receive the annual inspection sticker.

Is It Normal to See Smoke When Opening the Oil Cap?

Seeing smoke when opening the oil cap indicates that your car is burning oil. There are many possible causes for this issue, such as using the wrong type of oil, worn piston rings in the engine, leaking valves, or abnormal wear in the cylinders. Burning oil is not a minor issue and requires immediate inspection and repair. Below are some key points: 1. Piston Ring Failure: Smoke coming out when opening the oil cap at idle indicates poorly fitted or failed piston rings, causing a connection between the combustion chamber and the crankcase. This is often accompanied by 'blue smoke' (oil burning) from the exhaust. To fix this, the piston rings, cylinder gasket, and possibly the valves need to be replaced to ensure the combustion chamber's seal and prevent oil leakage. 2. Engine Oil: Engine oil plays a crucial role not only in ensuring the vehicle's normal operation but also in reflecting certain engine issues. The best way to avoid such problems is to use high-quality, reputable brand engine oil and maintain good maintenance habits.

Under what circumstances does a car need to add water?

There are three places in a car where water can be added: the radiator, the windshield washer fluid reservoir, and for large vehicles traveling on mountain roads, a water spray device to lower the temperature of the brakes. Reasons for adding water to a car: 1. Poor engine cooling: When the radiator boils over, the engine's cooling is compromised, leading to excessively high temperatures. This causes components to expand, reducing the clearance between parts, and also lowers the viscosity of the engine oil. In such conditions, wear on components accelerates. If not addressed promptly, the engine may suffer severe damage, leading to a major mechanical failure. 2. There are several reasons for a car's radiator to boil over, including: the effects of hot weather; overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components; and issues with the car's cooling system, such as radiator leaks, insufficient coolant, degraded coolant, or blockages in the coolant circulation system.

Why Does the Horn Sound When Unlocking a Car with the Key?

The horn sounding when unlocking a car with the key is a feature set by the driver, primarily depending on the car model. Generally, most cars will emit a sound when unlocked with the key, which is due to the car's settings. The main purpose is to allow the driver to identify the direction of the vehicle through the sound, thereby locating its position. Methods to enable the horn sound when locking the car are as follows: Central Control Settings: Configure through the car's central control. Find the "Vehicle Settings" option on the central console, then enter the "Control Page." On the control page, enable "Lock Sound Alert," and the horn will sound once when the car is locked. Key Settings: Configure via the key. If the car key has a mute button, simply press the mute button towards the car to toggle the lock sound alert on or off. ECU Settings Modification: If the car does not have a mute button and cannot be set through the car's system, the only option is to visit a 4S shop and have a technician modify the ECU data.
