There are many yellow warning lights on the vehicle dashboard. Here are some common ones: 1. A yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. The appearance of this icon indicates a problem with the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) system, also known as the general fault indicator light. There are many possible causes: 1. Dry dual-clutch transmission overheating; 2. Fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction; 3. Parking sensor failure; 4. External light malfunction; 5. Engine oil pressure sensor failure; 6. Drive acceleration slip regulation warning or malfunction, etc. 2. There is a horizontal line under a bracket. At the bottom of the horizontal line is a small zigzag with an exclamation mark in the middle. The entire icon is yellow. This is the tire pressure warning light, indicating abnormal tire pressure that requires detection. 3. A circular gear with an exclamation mark in the middle. This is the transmission fault indicator light, usually visible only in transmissions equipped with multitronic. When this light is on, it indicates an abnormal or faulty transmission. 4. This icon looks very similar to a light bulb with an exclamation mark in the middle. This is the fault indicator light. When the fault indicator light is on, it means there is a malfunction in the external bulbs, requiring repair or replacement. When a yellow light on the dashboard is illuminated, it is necessary to identify which icon it is, as different icons represent different fault causes. If the external lighting is not functioning properly, it is recommended to check whether the vehicle's headlights, fog lights, daytime running lights, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights are working normally. Any malfunction should be addressed promptly.

Can I Switch to Automatic Transmission After Passing the Manual Transmission Subject 2 Test?

You cannot directly switch from manual transmission to automatic transmission. If you wish to change to automatic transmission, you need to re-register and retake the test. Differences between manual and automatic transmission in Subject 2: Manual transmission vehicles have a clutch, so during practice, you must first master clutch control. In terms of test items, manual transmission includes reverse parking, right-angle turns, parallel parking, curve driving, and hill starts. Automatic transmission, on the other hand, omits the hill start test because it lacks a clutch, making this item less critical. Judgment of boundary lines and markings can also be assessed in the Subject 3 test. Subject 2 test evaluation: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. You get one attempt for the Subject 2 test, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days.

What are the effects of driving a sedan through deep water?

If a car passes through deep water without stalling, it will not cause significant damage to the vehicle. However, it is essential to inspect and clean the car as soon as possible, checking whether the brakes are functioning properly. After successfully driving through water, avoid accelerating immediately and continue driving at a low speed for some time. Below is more information about driving through water: 1. Reasons for vehicle impact: Whether driving at high speed through accumulated water has an effect mainly depends on the depth of the water on the road and the height of the waves generated by the vehicle passing through at high speed. If the water reaches the height of the vehicle's air intake, it can directly cause the engine to stall. 2. What to do after stalling: If the engine stalls, do not attempt to restart the vehicle immediately. Instead, call your insurance company and a repair service to wait for assistance. After towing the car to a repair facility, check for water ingress inside the engine. 3. Points to note when driving on waterlogged roads: Driving on waterlogged roads can reduce the car's braking performance and increase the risk of skidding. Drivers should hold the steering wheel with both hands to maintain balance, drive straight and at a low speed. When turning, apply the brakes gently to prevent the tires from locking up and causing the vehicle to skid.

Why does the BMW 116 experience intermittent idling vibration?

BMW 116 intermittent idling vibration may be caused by severe engine carbon deposits or ignition system issues. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car vibration is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making ignition difficult. In this situation, the engine will only start easily after the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to reach saturation. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum suction, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes idling vibration after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for cold starts, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also lead to such fault symptoms.

Can the temporary license plate still be used on the 16th if it expires on the 16th?

A temporary license plate that expires on the 16th can still be used on the 16th; you are allowed to drive with it on the expiration day. Penalties for exceeding the validity period: New vehicles using temporary license plates must not exceed 15 days. Owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority. After expiration, penalties may include vehicle impoundment, fines, and a deduction of 12 points from the driver's license. Methods to register after the temporary license plate expires: Towing: Tow the vehicle to the vehicle management office for registration, but this method can be costly. If official license plates are not issued on the same day, the owner would need to tow the vehicle back home, making this method not recommended. Reapplying for a temporary license plate: Temporary license plates are generally valid for 15 days. Owners should apply for official license plates within the temporary license's validity period. If the temporary license plate expires and official plates have not yet been issued, reapplying for a temporary license plate is the most cost-effective method. However, temporary license plates can only be applied for a maximum of three times.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 4008 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 4008 is 53 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Peugeot 4008 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.2-6.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 828 to 855 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
