After driving for so many years, getting points deducted is a common occurrence. My A2 license had 2 points deducted, but it doesn’t affect the annual inspection much—as long as it doesn’t reach 12 points, you still have to go through the process. Here’s how I usually handle it: First, I check the point records at the traffic management department to confirm it’s an actual deduction and not a mistake. Then, I attend the required traffic safety education class, usually a one- or two-hour warning session, and get a completion certificate afterward. For the annual inspection, I bring my ID, driver’s license, and the completion certificate to the DMV. They’ll review everything, and if everything’s fine, they’ll approve it. Don’t forget to make an appointment in advance to avoid long queues. Also, drive carefully to avoid speeding or violations—keeping your record clean is key. Safety comes first, and fewer points deducted means peace of mind.

Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the Honda Civic?

The rearview mirror heating button for the Civic is located below the central control screen. There are two knobs below the central control screen. Between the knobs, there is a row of buttons, and the rearview mirror heating button is the rightmost one. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful on rainy or snowy days. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver and thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function generally has two activation methods. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function button—simply rotate the knob to activate it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat is emitted from the left and right rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively defogging and defrosting the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an active state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and potentially leaving insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for airflow: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car. As the temperature difference decreases, the fog will gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also help defog by blowing warm air onto the mirrors.

BYD Tang DM Highway Fuel Consumption?

BYD Tang DM's fuel consumption on highways is generally around 8L/100km. Below is extended information on advanced battery preservation techniques for the BYD Tang DM: 1. Speeding: If the speed exceeds 140km/h, the engine load becomes high, so it generally won't charge the battery. Therefore, setting a higher value won't help, and the battery level might even drop in hybrid eco mode. 2. Uphill Driving: For example, when entering Tibet with continuously rising altitude, the engine load will be relatively high, leaving no extra power for charging. In this case, the battery level won't increase. There are ways to preserve battery, but note that for road conditions with alternating uphill and downhill sections (like mountain passes), battery preservation isn't necessary as the battery will recharge during downhill. If the battery level is too low, you can use Sand Mode to increase engine speed to around 2000 RPM while reducing vehicle speed. 3. Traffic Jams: In urban traffic jams, using hybrid eco mode is ineffective. With air conditioning on during summer, the battery level will drop quickly. To preserve battery in this situation, you can switch to hybrid Snow Mode where the engine charges the battery at idle. Alternatively, using Sand Mode at around 2200 RPM for low-speed driving will result in higher short-term fuel consumption and poorer driving experience, but it recharges the battery very quickly.

Can a Truck Run Without Urea?

Trucks (i.e., freight vehicles) can continue to operate without urea, but it is necessary to replenish it as soon as possible. Operating a truck without urea will have the following effects: 1. The urea pump is prone to crystallization and clogging: If a truck runs without urea for an extended period, the circulating urea pump nozzle, pipelines, and urea pump are prone to crystallization, clogging, or high-temperature damage. 2. Torque limitation: The truck's emission warning light will illuminate, torque will be limited, resulting in insufficient power, making it feel sluggish to drive. 3. Failure to pass annual inspection: Trucks without urea will fail the annual inspection and may face penalties. The role of urea for heavy-duty vehicles: 1. Catalytic function: Urea is primarily added to vehicles with diesel engines because diesel engines emit harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases, causing environmental pollution. Long-term inhalation of these exhaust gases poses significant harm to human health. To mitigate this hazard, vehicles with diesel engines use urea, which has a catalytic function. When encountering nitrogen oxides, it triggers a chemical reaction, converting them into nitrogen and water before being expelled. 2. Reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions: Qualified urea solutions consist of 32.5% ultra-pure urea and pure water. The urea solution reacts with NOx through selective catalytic reduction (SCR), converting it into nitrogen, oxygen, and water, thereby reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. 3. Urea plays a crucial role in vehicle power and fuel consumption: If diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is not used, or if substandard or low-purity urea solutions are employed, the vehicle's engine will automatically decelerate. Additionally, inferior-quality DEF can contaminate the SCR catalytic converter's catalyst, causing damage to the after-treatment system components.

Where is the MG car engine from?

MG car engines are jointly developed by SAIC Motor and General Motors and are produced in SAIC's engine factories. Most MG cars use the "Blue Core" SGE20T engine. For example, the MG MG6 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 170 Nm. For the daily maintenance of MG car engines, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates smoothly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What does the yellow ABS light mean?

When the ABS light is displayed on a car, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. There are various states in which the ABS light may illuminate, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay can lead to signal issues and system failure. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and the voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low due to poor contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screws on the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surfaces if necessary; check for enlarged gaps in the connectors; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and use a finger to push the brake switch linkage all the way down, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.
