Turn the rear wiper control switch clockwise to activate the rear wiper and clean the rear windshield. Precautions for using the wiper are as follows: 1. Maintain cleanliness: If streaks appear on the windshield, the wiper blade may be dirty. Use a towel dampened with alcohol to wipe the dirty parts of the wiper blade. Cleaning once a month can improve the wiper's performance. 2. Check the rubber: If there is a harsh noise from the windshield, the rubber of the wiper blade may have hardened, worn out, or cracked. If the wear is not particularly severe, the owner can use sandpaper to smooth out the uneven surfaces.

What to Do If a C1 Driver's License Receives 12 Points Deducted at Once?

If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license. The motor vehicle driver must, within 15 days, attend a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred. After completing the study, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. If the driver passes the examination, the accumulated points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driving license will be returned; if the driver fails the examination, they must continue studying and retake the test. Drivers who refuse to attend the study session or take the examination will have their motor vehicle driving license suspended by the traffic management department of the public security authority. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points or more twice within a scoring cycle or accumulates 24 points or more, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after the driver passes the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The road driving skills test will be conducted based on the highest permissible vehicle type specified on the driver's license.

What is the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Avancier?

The Avancier has a total of 9 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2020 240TURBO 2WD Elite Edition, Comfort Edition, Smart Edition, and Premium Edition, which are equipped with a 193 horsepower engine, have an NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km. The 2020 370TURBO Dual-tone 4WD Supreme Edition, Premium Edition, and the 4WD Supreme Edition and Premium Edition, which are equipped with a 272 horsepower engine, have an NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.7L/100km. The 2020 370TURBO 2WD Luxury Edition, equipped with a 272 horsepower engine, has an NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.3L/100km. All models of the Avancier have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 193 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 57L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 57/7.3*100=780km. Models equipped with a 272 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 57L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 57/8.7*100=655km, 57/8.3*100=687km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What does ECO in automatic transmission mean?

ECO in automatic transmission refers to the car's economical driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation formed from Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light turns on, it serves merely as a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most cars use the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the ECO mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO and could also impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to deactivate automatically. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, ECO may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine's computer prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function under these conditions either.

Is running a red light photographed from the opposite side or the rear?

Both. Electronic cameras capture three photos to determine a red light violation: a photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light and license plate number; a photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light and license plate number; and a photo of the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in the vehicle's position, including the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms a red light violation. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light prohibits passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Running a red light is a traffic violation when a vehicle passes through an intersection during a red light. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: First, observe the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. If an arrow light is present, check it first, then the circular light, to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are permitted; but if the right-turn arrow is red, right turns are prohibited. Violations will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a red light violation. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge whether to proceed. If there is no countdown and the vehicle is close to the intersection at high speed, it may proceed to avoid braking too late. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not penalized under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: If visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic light, resulting in blurry evidence, no penalty will be issued for mistakenly running a red light. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may occur. After delivering the patient, provide hospital or patient documentation to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records will be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is recommended to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Police officer direction: During peak hours, traffic police may direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow their hand signals. Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the red light violation. Even if recorded, drivers can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police.
