Nighttime temporary pull-over light usage method: First, turn on the hazard warning flashers. After the vehicle is pulled over and the hazard warning flashers are activated, the driver should try to stay away from the malfunctioning vehicle and turn off the high beams and low beams to avoid battery drain. Below are the relevant details: 1. Using high beams for illumination: When driving at night on national highways, expressways, or roads without street lighting, drivers should use high beams for illumination. When high beams are on, a prominent blue light will illuminate on the dashboard as a reminder. 2. Using low beams for illumination: When encountering oncoming traffic, promptly switch back to low beams to prevent the glaring high beams from causing dazzle to the other driver and interfering with their line of sight.

Which Way to Loosen the Spare Tire Bolt?

For passenger cars, turning the spare tire bolt to the left loosens it, while turning to the right tightens it. For large trucks, the left-side tires follow 'left tightens, right loosens,' whereas the right-side tires follow 'right tightens, left loosens.' When replacing a tire, pay attention to the operation sequence. When tightening the bolts, avoid tightening them in a clockwise or counterclockwise order one by one; instead, follow a diagonal sequence to tighten the bolts. If the tire bolt is too tight to loosen, you can apply a lubricating solvent like diesel to the bolt. Alternatively, you can appropriately use your foot to increase the tightening force on the nut, but avoid reckless kicking, as it can directly damage the nut or bolt and may cause the wrench to suddenly pop out, posing safety risks. A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use. Moreover, it should only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h.

Is the 2021 Vehicle Inspection Sticker Still Required?

In 2021, vehicles no longer require any physical inspection stickers. Starting from June 2020, China has implemented electronic vehicle inspection labels nationwide. When vehicle owners complete their annual inspections now, they will not receive paper inspection stickers. Instead, they can directly obtain electronic inspection labels through the 12123 traffic management app. For vehicle owners who have obtained electronic inspection labels, these digital labels hold the same validity as paper stickers. During traffic police inspections, presenting the electronic inspection label is sufficient. For vehicles under 6 years old, owners need to apply for an inspection label every two years at the vehicle management office, though online application is also available. For vehicles older than 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection frequency has been relaxed from annual to biennial inspections. This means only two on-site inspections are required within 10 years - at the 6th and 8th years - effective from November 20, 2020. Vehicles over 10 years old continue with annual inspections. As for vehicles older than 15 years, semi-annual inspections are required to ensure they meet roadworthiness standards.

How much fuel does a car consume when running the air conditioning for one hour?

For a typical family sedan, running the air conditioning for one hour consumes approximately 1-3 liters of fuel. The car air conditioning system operates through four cyclical processes: 1. Compression process: The compressor draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator outlet and compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure gas before discharging it from the compressor. 2. Heat dissipation process: The high-temperature, high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where it condenses into a liquid due to the reduction in pressure and temperature, releasing a significant amount of heat. 3. Throttling process: The higher-temperature and higher-pressure refrigerant liquid passes through the expansion device, causing its volume to increase and its pressure and temperature to drop sharply, exiting the expansion device as a mist (fine droplets). 4. Heat absorption process: The mist-like refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator. Since the boiling point of the refrigerant is much lower than the temperature inside the evaporator, the refrigerant liquid evaporates into a gas, absorbing a large amount of surrounding heat in the process. The resulting low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant vapor then re-enters the compressor. These processes repeat continuously to achieve the goal of lowering the temperature of the air around the evaporator.

What is the difference between an acceleration lane and a ramp?

Acceleration lanes and ramps differ in definition, driving sequence, and speed requirements. Different definitions: A ramp, also known as an approach, refers to the connecting road between an access road and the main highway, called a ramp. An acceleration lane is a lane designed for vehicles to accelerate before merging into the high-speed traffic flow. Different driving sequences: To enter a highway, vehicles must first pass through the ramp to the acceleration lane, and then from the acceleration lane to the main traffic lane. The ramp comes before the acceleration lane. The minimum speed required on an acceleration lane is 60 km/h, and all vehicles must accelerate to at least 60 km/h before entering the main highway lane. Different speed requirements: The speed on a ramp is generally required to be below 40 km/h. In an acceleration lane, vehicles should quickly accelerate to over 60 km/h. Points to note when driving in an acceleration lane: When entering the acceleration lane, increase speed as quickly as possible to meet the requirement, signal in advance by turning on the left turn indicator to alert vehicles behind, ensure there is sufficient distance from vehicles behind and that merging does not affect their driving, avoid steering too sharply during the merge, and promptly turn off the left turn indicator after entering the main traffic lane while appropriately increasing speed.

Is it necessary to display the annual vehicle inspection sticker now?

After June 2020, following a pilot period, the electronic version of the vehicle inspection qualification mark has been implemented nationwide. Currently, it is no longer required to display the annual vehicle inspection sticker. Regulations regarding the annual inspection mark: Electronic annual inspection mark: The electronic version of the annual inspection mark has been rolled out nationwide. Now, when vehicle owners go for their annual inspection, they will not receive a paper inspection mark upon passing the inspection. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic version of the annual inspection mark on the Traffic Management 12123 platform. 2021 annual inspection mark new regulations: The latest policy combines the vehicle annual inspection with the environmental protection inspection mark. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain a separate environmental protection mark. Equal validity: The electronic inspection mark and the paper mark have the same legal effect. Vehicles that have obtained the electronic inspection mark do not need to display the paper mark. Traffic police will check the vehicle inspection status through law enforcement terminals during traffic management. Penalties for not having the annual inspection mark during checks: According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, if a motor vehicle is driven on the road without displaying the inspection qualification mark, the driver may be fined 50 yuan and have 1 point deducted from their license. In severe cases, the public security traffic management department has the authority to impound the vehicle and notify the party involved to provide the corresponding license, mark, or complete the necessary procedures.
