The horizontal lever on the left side of the steering wheel, which controls the turn signals, can be twisted at its front end. It has two positions: twisting it once turns on the parking lights, and twisting it again turns on the low beam. When the low beam is on, pushing the lever upward activates the high beam. More details are as follows: 1. Function of High Beam: Generally, there is no need to use the high beam when driving on urban roads, as the lighting conditions are usually good. The high beam is angled too high and can easily blind oncoming drivers and pedestrians, affecting their vision. This is not only unsafe but also considered impolite driving behavior. 2. Usage Scenarios: If you notice that oncoming vehicles frequently switch between high and low beams to signal you, promptly check whether you have accidentally turned on your high beam. Alternating between high and low beams serves as a form of light communication with various meanings, such as alerting vehicles at intersections, signaling for a nighttime overtake, or reminding oncoming vehicles to switch to low beam. Finally, we remind all drivers to use the high beam only when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles.

Can Modified Laser Headlights Pass the Annual Inspection?

After modifying a vehicle, it must be registered with the vehicle management office to pass the annual inspection. Below are the relevant details about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or registration file, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. 2. Notes: The exterior of the vehicle cannot be modified. The color of the glass sun film or explosion-proof film cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle must be clearly visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to small cars with fewer than 5 seats). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plates, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in a van cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher is required. The cargo compartment of a box truck cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgate additions). The size of the tires cannot be changed, and the tread patterns of tires on the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo the annual inspection.

Is it necessary to install a 360-degree panoramic camera?

It is essential to install a 360-degree panoramic camera for your car, especially as the rearview assist significantly improves parking. Here are some maintenance tips for the imaging system: 1. Replace with suitable antifreeze: Some car owners prefer using tap water instead of antifreeze during summer, which is highly inadvisable. As temperatures drop in autumn, failing to switch to automotive-specific antifreeze can severely impact the cooling system if sudden cold snaps occur. Therefore, if tap water is currently in use, it should be replaced immediately. 2. Inspect the intake system and battery: During autumn, regularly check the valves for carbon buildup and visit a service station for inspection and repairs if needed. The battery terminals are particularly prone to issues in autumn. If green oxidation is found on the terminals, rinse it off with boiling water, as this oxidation can lead to insufficient charging, battery drain, or even complete failure, making the car unable to start. 3. Frequent brake system checks: Ensure the brake fluid is at the proper level and top up or replace it as necessary. Regularly inspect the braking system for any weakening, pulling to one side, or changes in pedal resistance. If needed, clean the entire brake system's piping. Check the windshield defroster function. As autumn brings cooler temperatures, frost may form. Pay special attention to whether the defroster vents under the windshield are functioning correctly and providing adequate heat. Address any issues promptly.

Where is the cabin air filter located in a 2017 Peugeot 308?

The cabin air filter in the 2017 Peugeot 308 is located beneath the right front windshield, positioned between the rain gutter and the engine firewall. When driving with the air conditioning on, the system draws outside air into the vehicle cabin. However, this air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without the cabin air filter's filtration, these particles entering the cabin would not only contaminate the air conditioning system and reduce cooling performance, but also cause allergic reactions, lung damage, ozone-induced irritation, and odor-related discomfort - all of which compromise driving safety. Steps for replacing the cabin air filter: 1. Turn off the engine (do not start the vehicle). 2. Locate the engine hood release lever at the lower left of the driver's footwell, lift it to release the primary latch, then open the secondary latch to raise the hood. 3. Secure the hood with the support rod. 4. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the three to four bolts securing the right front windshield rain gutter cover near the engine firewall. 5. After removing the protective cover, the hidden cabin air filter will be visible. 6. Remove the old filter and install the new one. 7. Reassemble components in reverse order of removal.

Is It Normal for Car Antifreeze to Run Low?

No, it is not normal. When the car antifreeze level falls below the minimum mark, it should be promptly refilled or replaced. Antifreeze Replacement Method: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to various parts of the car. Antifreeze flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to perform its function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, the hose should be replaced or the connections re-secured as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue to fill it until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water coming out of the reservoir may have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water runs clear. Remember to remove the heater hose to drain all water from the heater core. Function of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round.

What does the ON position mean?

The ON position in a car means that when the car is adjusted to this gear, it provides power support to all electronic devices in the car. Simply put, the electrical appliances in the car are connected to the battery through this function, allowing the devices to operate normally. Below are the usage methods for other gears in a car: P gear method: P gear is the parking gear. When you need to park for a long time, you should shift into this gear. At this time, the mechanical structure inside the transmission will be locked, preventing the vehicle from moving. If you need to leave the vehicle or park on a slope, you should also pull up the handbrake. R gear method: R gear is the reverse gear, which is the same as the R gear in manual transmission models. When shifting into this gear, the vehicle will move backward, and it is used when you need to reverse. N gear method: N gear is the neutral gear, which is the same as the N gear in manual transmission models. In neutral state, the input and output shafts in the transmission are not engaged, and no power is transmitted. When shifting into neutral, you must press the brake or pull up the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from moving. D gear method: D gear is the drive gear, used when the vehicle needs to move forward. In this gear, the transmission operates in standard full automatic shifting mode, and you only need to operate the accelerator pedal according to actual needs.
