To shift from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission, the vehicle must be completely stationary on the road; otherwise, it may damage the car's automatic transmission. The steps to switch from D gear to S gear are as follows: 1. Press the car's brake pedal to slow down the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop on the road. 2. Move the gear lever to the right from the D gear position to switch to S gear. At this point, pressing the accelerator pedal will allow the car to move forward. Here is some related information: 1. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and overdrive (equivalent to 1st to 4th gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. 2. S stands for Sport mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed to keep the engine at higher RPMs for a longer time, increasing the vehicle's power. Of course, this will also result in increased fuel consumption.

How to Repair a Crack in Car Glass?

Repairing a crack in car glass involves the following steps: 1. Prepare the necessary tools for repair: cloth, blade, hair dryer, glass stand, glass repair agent, injection tube, treatment film, etc. 2. Clean the area around the windshield crack with a cloth, remove any remaining debris with a blade, and dry the cracked area using a hair dryer. 3. Set up the glass stand, aligning its center with the crack. Invert the injection tube, add a few drops of adhesive, and firmly screw the injection tube onto the stand to ensure no leakage after injection. 4. Pull the pressure rod on the injection tube to the top and hold for a few minutes. Then add a few more drops of adhesive and press down the pressure rod, while observing if any adhesive leaks from the bottom. 5. Tighten the pressure rod to maintain stable pressure. If the crack hasn't completely disappeared, repeat the steps of pulling up the pressure rod and adding adhesive until the glass crack is gone. 6. Remove the stand, apply a few drops of adhesive to the cracked area, and place the treatment film over it. Expose it to sunlight for a few minutes, then remove the film and clean off any excess adhesive.

Where is the sensor located on the Geely Emgrand?

Geely Emgrand sensor is located on the water pipe seat of the engine cylinder head. The car sensor is the input device of the car computer system, which converts various working condition information (such as speed, temperature of various media, engine operating conditions, etc.) into electrical signals and transmits them to the computer, so that the engine can be in a better working state. The Geely Emgrand has a length, width, and height of 4632mm, 1789mm, and 1470mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. The body type is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, a top speed of 170 km/h, and a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.

Is overtaking or lane changing allowed in tunnels?

Tunnels do not allow overtaking or lane changing. Tunnels are special sections of highways. Compared to regular road sections, tunnels have poor lighting and limited space. If drivers do not comply with traffic regulations and change lanes or overtake at will, it can easily interfere with other vehicles and cause accidents, leading to traffic congestion, delays, or even secondary accidents. Precautions for driving in tunnels: 1. Do not use high beams: Most tunnels nowadays are equipped with lighting, which, although not very bright, is sufficient with low beams. High beams should never be used because tunnels are inherently narrow, making oncoming traffic stressful. High beams can instantly blind drivers of oncoming vehicles in this confined space. If an accident occurs in one vehicle, it could potentially disrupt the entire tunnel traffic. 2. Pay attention to light changes: When entering a tunnel, the surrounding space becomes darker, causing the pupils to contract to adapt to the dark environment. After driving in a tunnel for an extended period and approaching the exit, the bright light at the exit may appear as a blinding white light, temporarily impairing vision. During this brief adaptation period, remain calm and continue driving normally. As long as you stay composed, accidents can generally be avoided.

What is the difference between L1 and L2 autonomous driving?

L1: Assisted driving, L2: Semi-autonomous driving. The main difference is that L2 models have a higher degree of automation than L1. In L1, vehicles can only achieve partial automation of certain functions, such as automatic acceleration/deceleration or steering. Generally, features like adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, and lane-keeping assist fall under the scope of L1 autonomous driving. More details are as follows: 1. L1: Assisted driving. The vehicle can perform very limited functions, such as either acceleration/deceleration or steering, while the remaining functions require driver operation. L1 autonomous driving emerged over a decade ago, with features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic braking found in luxury brands such as Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, all falling under the L1 category. 2. L2: Semi-autonomous driving. L2 autonomous driving has become a hot topic recently, with many affordable domestic-brand models already achieving this level. L2 enables the vehicle to perform multiple functions, while a few still require driver input. Common L2 features include full-speed adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, active lane-keeping, automatic lane-changing, and speed limit recognition. Tesla is a leader in this field, claiming to achieve L2.5 autonomous driving.

Are vehicles over 10 years old ineligible for ETC?

Currently, there are no age restrictions for vehicles applying for ETC. Normally, vehicles over 10 years old can still apply without issues. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle ahead stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in failure to read vehicle device information and subsequent charging failures. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will deactivate the tag. In such cases, visit the ETC card-issuing bank or highway service office for inspection. Non-deliberate detachment or loosening only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause charging failures. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment.

What Does a Fog Light Look Like?

In addition to the front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, as well as the rear running lights and brake lights, there is also a set of fog lights located in an inconspicuous area at the rear of the vehicle. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road traffic participants to spot the vehicle in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. These lights emit a stronger light intensity than the tail lights. For more details, please see below: 1. Location of fog lights: They are installed at the front of the vehicle, slightly lower than the headlights, and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. Fog lights can increase visibility distance, especially yellow fog lights, which have strong light penetration and improve visibility for both the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. 2. Types of fog lights: There are front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for rear fog lights differ slightly from those for front fog lights—the lines of the front fog light symbol point downward, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines. These symbols are usually located on the vehicle's dashboard.
