During driving, steering operations should be smooth. Avoid repeatedly turning the steering wheel back and forth, maintain straight-line driving, and prevent fuel wastage caused by sharp turns, sudden directional changes, and frequent lane changes. Tips for lane changing: 1. When changing lanes, prevent abrupt steering into adjacent lanes to avoid collisions with suddenly appearing vehicles or side-slipping on slippery roads. Lane changes should not be too slow; driving with prolonged pressure on lane markings can disrupt other vehicles. Generally, after overtaking, maintain a safe distance before returning to the original lane. On roads divided into motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes, cars should drive on motor vehicle lanes, motorcycles should stay to the right within motor vehicle lanes, while non-motor vehicles and disabled person-specific vehicles should use non-motor vehicle lanes. 2. Vehicles must adhere to right-side traffic rules: On roads without a central dividing line or separate motor/non-motor vehicle lanes, cars should drive in the middle while non-motor vehicles keep to the right. Large and small vehicles must follow their respective paths; large vehicles may occupy lanes without hindering normal small vehicle operation. When small vehicles drive at low speeds or encounter following traffic, they should move to large vehicle lanes. If there is an overtaking lane, cars may use it for passing but must return to their original lane afterward.

What to Do When the Headlight Cover Turns Yellow Inside?

Solutions for yellowing headlights: 1. Regularly clean the headlights. While driving, the car body is bound to accumulate dirt, and the headlights are no exception. Therefore, use a soft cloth to clean the headlights periodically to prevent dirt from becoming more stubborn over time and harder to remove. 2. Use alkaline water for cleaning, such as soapy water, and clean every three months. After cleaning, remember to polish the headlights with a polishing agent and then apply wax for protection. 3. Polish with carnauba wax: This is also an effective method to address long-term yellowing of the headlight cover, with results that are quite satisfactory compared to the original yellowing. Use specialized carnauba wax to polish the yellowed headlight cover, which can remove minor yellowing and surface marks.

Can I continue using tires with uneven tread?

It is not recommended to continue driving with uneven tread. The vehicle's weight can crush the tires, potentially causing wheel rim deformation. If forced to drive under such conditions, you may eventually need to replace both the tires and rims. Driving with deformed tires also poses safety hazards. The following describes two different scenarios of unevenness on tire sidewalls: Dents: These are caused by joints in the tire carcass cords. Since joint areas have two layers of cords while other areas have only one, the joint areas actually have higher strength than other parts. During initial use, tires slightly expand under air pressure, with less expansion at joint areas, making them appear slightly indented. Bulges: These are caused by joints in the inner liner or sidewall rubber. As joint areas are thicker, they appear slightly raised when inflated.

Can You Drive with an Auto Hold Malfunction?

Auto hold malfunction allows driving when it does not affect driving safety, but should be repaired as soon as possible. Here is an introduction about auto hold malfunction:1. Introduction: Auto hold malfunction indicates that the active parking system has a problem and cannot function normally. Auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not using the handbrake, which can simplify operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P.2. AUTOHOLD: AUTOHOLD relies on an intelligent braking system. Only vehicles with brake control systems like ESP can achieve the AUTOHOLD function. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope.
