I've been driving a Buick Encore recently, and turning on the fog lights is quite simple. First, make sure your low beam headlights are on, because fog lights are an additional feature and won't work without the low beams as a base. Then, on the light control stalk to the left of the steering wheel or on the dashboard, find a button or knob labeled "FOG" or with a small fog light icon. Just twist or press it, and a yellow indicator on the dashboard will light up to confirm the fog lights are on. I always turn them on when driving in foggy conditions—the lights are designed to scatter, helping to illuminate a wider area of the road in thick fog. However, avoid using them in clear or bright weather, as they can dazzle oncoming drivers and be annoying. It also saves electricity this way. Additionally, I regularly check if the lens is dirty or the bulb is burnt out. Cleaning it with a damp cloth helps maintain brightness—safety comes first, after all. Paying attention to these small details in daily driving can prevent a lot of trouble. Like last time, using fog lights in the rain significantly improved visibility.

Reasons for Engine Overheating?

Reasons for engine overheating include insufficient engine coolant; prolonged low-speed, high-load driving during hot seasons; excessively lean or rich air-fuel mixture; severe external dirt or internal scale buildup in the radiator leading to poor heat dissipation; delayed engagement of the fan clutch, non-functioning cooling fan, damaged blades, excessive fan rotation resistance, etc.; excessive carbon deposits in the combustion chamber; issues with the catalytic converter. Dashboard Warning: When the engine temperature is too high, the dashboard will display a warning. It appears as a thermometer-like icon called the coolant temperature warning light. Illumination of this icon indicates insufficient coolant and rising engine temperature. Normal Engine Temperature: The normal operating temperature of a car engine varies by brand and vehicle type. Generally, civilian passenger cars operate between 95-98°C, commercial trucks between 90-95°C, while performance sports cars can reach 105-115°C.

Does Applying Black Badges to Chevrolet Count as Modification?

Applying black badges to a Chevrolet does not count as modification. A modified vehicle passing the annual inspection proves that the vehicle complies with relevant laws and regulations and is allowed to be driven on the road. The following modifications cannot pass vehicle inspection: Color Modification: There are three colors reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used. Red is designated for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white with blue bottom for national administrative law enforcement. Raised Chassis: Replacing the front bumper is feasible after approval, but modifications such as raising the chassis to enhance off-road performance are not allowed. If illegal modifications are discovered during the annual inspection, they must be restored to the original condition. Exhaust System: Modifications such as changing tire specifications, altering the intake system, or modifying the exhaust system are not permitted by national regulations. Modifying the exhaust system may result in failing the tailpipe emissions test during inspection because the catalytic converter is not part of the original vehicle.

How Long Can a Private Car Be Left Undriven?

Private cars can be left undriven for up to one month. It is recommended to drive the car at least once a month, with each drive lasting no less than half an hour. Prolonged inactivity can lead to battery discharge. Hazards of Long-Term Parking: Tire Aging: The contact points between the tires and the ground are prone to aging. The contact points between the tires and the ground can age, and even the rims may develop subtle deformations, causing the car to feel unstable when driven. Frame Deformation: Parking on uneven surfaces can lead to severe issues such as difficulty in opening doors, poor door sealing, and problems like an unstable chassis, increased noise, and suspension oil leaks during driving. Precautions for Vehicle Parking: Even when the car is locked, the battery still experiences a dark current and power loss. It is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery if the car is parked for 15 days or longer. Always choose flat surfaces for parking, preferably in locations monitored by cameras, and avoid areas near garbage piles or tall grass.

Does exceeding 10,000 kilometers with full synthetic oil have any impact?

As long as the time doesn't exceed too long, going over 10,000 kilometers with full synthetic oil has no impact. Full synthetic oil generally lasts between 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers. Function of engine oil: Engine oil is a lubricant for the engine, providing lubrication and friction reduction, assisting in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and acting as a shock absorber. The engine is a crucial component of a car, with many parts inside rubbing against each other at high speeds and temperatures, making the role of engine oil essential. Classification of engine oil: Engine oil is divided into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil, each with different replacement intervals. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Precautions when changing car engine oil: Perform the change while the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is completely drained; add the new oil ensuring the quantity is appropriate; after adding the oil, start the engine to check for any leaks, and run the engine for three minutes to confirm the oil level is at the normal mark.
