How to use the ESP button: The ESP switch is located in the button area in front of the gear lever. The vehicle defaults to having the ESP function enabled, and pressing this button turns the function off. ESP is the Electronic Stability Program, primarily designed to address the risk of tailspin and loss of control caused by continuous steering during emergency obstacle avoidance. When avoiding an emergency, ESP intervenes to increase the turning force of the drive wheels; when there is a tendency to tailspin, ESP will brake the wheels on the other side to reduce rotation, thereby helping the vehicle follow the driver's steering intentions. The ESP system includes ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), representing an extension of these two systems' functionalities. Therefore, ESP can be considered a more advanced form of current automotive anti-skid devices.

Under What Circumstances Can You Make a Left Turn?

Motor vehicles can make a left turn under the following circumstances: When the traffic signal displays a green arrow, it indicates that vehicles are allowed to proceed in the direction the arrow points, and motor vehicles can turn left. At intersections with circular signal lights, left turns are permitted when the light is green, but vehicles must yield to oncoming straight-moving traffic first. If a motor vehicle is in a straight-only lane at an intersection without traffic lights and the road markings do not indicate a left-turn arrow (with only two lanes), straight-moving vehicles can turn left, but the left-turning vehicle must stay close to the center of the intersection. Regulations regarding entering the left-turn waiting zone: When the straight signal is green, vehicles can enter the left-turn waiting zone; when the left-turn signal turns green, vehicles waiting in the zone should proceed through the intersection promptly. If both the straight and left-turn signals are red, vehicles must not enter the left-turn waiting zone in advance and must stop behind the stop line, avoiding the pedestrian crossing in front of the stop line. Otherwise, it will be considered running a red light, punishable by a 6-point deduction and a fine. When the left-turn signal is yellow, vehicles that have not yet entered the waiting zone should stop before the stop line in the left-turn lane. Circumstances where left turns are prohibited: Left turns are not allowed if there are no U-turn signs or markings at the intersection; if the leftmost lane is a straight-only lane; or if the left-turn arrow signal is red while the straight signal is green. According to Article 51, Section 7 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": At intersections without directional signal lights, turning motor vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians first. Right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.

How to Drive a Manual-Automatic Transmission Car Better?

Here are some tips for driving a manual-automatic transmission car: 1. When starting, try to keep the gear in P (Park) or N (Neutral), then press the brake and start the car. Starting the car in other gears can cause excessive wear on the transmission. 2. When the vehicle starts, press the brake and shift to D (Drive), then slowly release the clutch. After the vehicle moves a few meters, you can press the accelerator. On smooth roads, you can keep the gear in D and drive forward, but avoid sudden acceleration, as it will increase fuel consumption. 3. When encountering uphill roads, try to shift to the climbing gear, which not only provides strong power output but also prevents the engine from struggling. 4. The manual-automatic transmission is very useful in traffic jams. If you keep the gear in D, the frequent stop-and-go will cause the gear to shift between 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears, accelerating transmission wear. Therefore, in traffic jams, it's better to use manual shifting. If the speed is around 20 km/h, you can shift to 2nd gear; if it's above 30 km/h, shift to 3rd gear. You can also use the S (Sport) mode to limit gear shifting. 5. When driving downhill in an automatic transmission car, never shift to N (Neutral). Although it may seem fuel-efficient, it actually has the opposite effect, as it stops the oil pump from supplying lubricating oil, causing significant damage to the transmission. 6. When parking a manual-automatic transmission car, it's best to shift to P (Park) before turning off the engine and removing the key. This protects the transmission. Additionally, when parking on uneven roads, pull the handbrake before turning off the engine. Otherwise, the vehicle may move slightly after turning off, causing impact on the transmission gears and damaging the transmission.

How to Handle a Flat Tire While Driving?

When encountering a flat tire while driving, the correct approach is to stay calm, keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel, maintain control of the vehicle's direction, gradually release the accelerator, and use intermittent braking to bring the car to a slow stop. Automobile tires can be categorized into more than 10 types based on their purpose, including passenger car tires, truck tires, and off-road tires. Structurally, they can be divided into radial tires and conventional bias-ply tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims that support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance.
