To use the auto hold function, press the auto hold button on the vehicle to activate it. Once activated, there is no need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake; the system will automatically brake the vehicle. The system will release automatically when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Here is an introduction to the auto hold function: 1. Currently, there are two types of electronic handbrake switches on the market. One is a standard button type: pressing it once activates the electronic handbrake, and pressing it again deactivates it. The other is a toggle-type button, similar to a window switch: pulling it up activates the handbrake, and pressing it down deactivates it. 2. Some models label the button directly as "AUTOHOLD," while others use a design with two semicircles enclosing an "A" inside a circle. Although the designs vary, the functions of these buttons are the same. The functions of auto hold are as follows: 1. In situations requiring short stops, such as at traffic lights, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent rolling. 2. During uphill starts, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward. Once the vehicle starts moving, the system will release the wheels automatically for forward movement. 3. When parking and locking the vehicle, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels (though this feature is limited to certain models).

How Far Can a Car Go After the Fuel Gauge Reaches the Red Line?

Generally, when a car's fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, there is approximately 10% of fuel left in the tank, allowing the car to travel an average of 20-60 kilometers further, depending on the vehicle model. Regarding refueling, here are three recommendations: 1. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel. Since the fuel pump is located inside the tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication, insufficient fuel can hinder the pump's normal operation and shorten its lifespan. 2. It is not advisable to fill the tank completely. Gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into vapor under high summer temperatures, requiring space to accommodate this. If the tank is filled to the brim with no space left, gasoline vapor or even liquid gasoline may enter the carbon canister for storage. Once the carbon canister is full, the excess vapor escapes into the air, leading to waste and environmental pollution. 3. Indicator deviation. After routine activities such as replacing the battery or fuel filter, or even after parking overnight, you might notice the fuel gauge needle showing a lower level than before upon restarting the vehicle, mistakenly thinking it's a malfunction. However, this is actually a normal phenomenon.

How long after running a red light will you be notified?

After running a red light, the illegal photo SMS notification is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with a maximum delay of around 13 days. However, some cities have now introduced "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it serves merely as a capture alert. The final determination of whether a violation has occurred still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and forwarded to the relevant traffic police personnel for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred to settle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. There are five main methods for vehicle violation queries: traffic branch terminal queries, vehicle violation website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those caught directly by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface, type "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message body, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "Violation Query," and clear any unresolved violations.

Is It Okay to Fill Up the Gas Tank in Summer?

It is not advisable to fill up the gas tank completely in summer. Here are the specific reasons: 1. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline can easily overflow from the vent hole, especially when driving in hot summer weather. 2. Overfilling the tank can also easily clog the vent hole. 3. If the vent hole is blocked, the fuel level will drop while driving, creating negative pressure inside the tank. This can lead to vapor lock in the fuel pump, resulting in poor fuel supply. 4. If the tank is overfilled (to the point where gasoline is visible at the tank opening), the vent outlet may become submerged in gasoline. In this case, liquid gasoline instead of vapor enters the charcoal canister, which can damage it.

What does vehicle age mean?

Vehicle age refers to the usage duration of a car. It is calculated based on the date of license plate registration, as vehicle information is typically recorded by the DMV only after registration. When purchasing a used car, the vehicle age checked at the DMV refers to the time when the car was registered and licensed. Methods to determine vehicle age are as follows: 1. Look for accident traces and hidden issues. Lift the floor mats to check for hidden body damage. Carefully inspect the doors for signs of repainting. Any new paint may indicate attempts to conceal defects. 2. Identify the true age of the vehicle. Examine the rubber covers on the pedals, as they often reveal the actual age. If concerned about odometer tampering, request recent maintenance invoices which should record the mileage. 3. Check tire wear patterns carefully, especially front tires. Worn edges suggest poor driving habits by the previous owner, indicating potential issues beyond just the tires.
