Volvo XC90 light adjustment lever usage: The turn signals are operated by moving the lever up for right and down for left; when rotated to the auto light position, the light sensor detects ambient brightness and automatically turns the headlights, other exterior lights, and dashboard illumination on or off; when rotated to the parking light position, the small vehicle lights are activated; low beam and high beam headlights are typically used in combination; in the light control switch assembly, the switch closest to the steering wheel controls the front and rear fog lights. The dimensions of the Volvo XC90 are 4807mm in length, 1898mm in width, 1784mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2875mm.

The Volvo XC90's light control stalk, which I've used countless times, is right there on the left side when you get into the driver's seat. The operation of the stalk is actually quite intuitive. Rotate the knob at the top of the stalk to the 'auto' position for the most hassle-free experience—the car will automatically turn the lights on and off based on the lighting conditions. If you turn it to the parking light or low beam position, it's suitable for manual control. As for the turn signals, pushing the stalk upwards towards the steering wheel activates the left turn signal, and pushing it downwards activates the right turn signal. They flash immediately and automatically reset after the turn is completed. The high beam is used at night—gently push the stalk forward to turn it on, and pulling it back activates a momentary flash for signaling when overtaking. The fog light switch is a small button next to the knob—remember to turn it on in rainy or foggy conditions to improve visibility. Important reminder: Don’t misuse high beams in urban areas, as you might get fined; keep the stalk clean to avoid sticking, and if the lights malfunction, check the fuse or battery connection. The auto mode is really convenient, saving you from constantly remembering to switch the lights—safe driving habits are built on these little details.

Why Does Braking Make Noise?

There are several reasons why braking may produce noise: 1. Use of low-quality or overly hard brake pads: If low-quality or excessively hard brake pads are used, they may produce a squeaking sound when they rub against the brake disc during braking. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pad and brake disc: During normal driving, it is inevitable to pass through some complex road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand or foreign objects may get between the brake pad and brake disc, causing abnormal noises during braking. 3. Severe wear of the brake disc: The use of low-quality brake pads or the presence of hard foreign objects between the brake pad and brake disc can lead to abnormal wear of the brake disc. If the brake disc is severely worn, it may also produce a squeaking sound when braking. 4. Brake pad warning: Many people are unaware of how many kilometers brake pads should be replaced. In fact, there is no mandatory rule on the mileage for replacement; they should be replaced once they become thin. Some brake pads have electronic warnings, while some low-end cars use warning indicators. If the wear level of the brake pads reaches the warning line, a squeaking warning sound will be emitted, indicating that they should be replaced promptly.

What is the fuel tank capacity of a sedan?

The fuel tank capacity varies depending on the vehicle model. Small cars typically have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars have a capacity of around 55-75 liters. Some large full-size SUVs may even exceed 100 liters. How to check the fuel tank capacity: Generally, you can observe the reading on the fuel gauge inside the car. Normally, the fuel gauge has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. It is recommended to refuel when there are only two segments left to avoid running out of fuel while driving. Here is some related information about fuel tank capacity: The standard fuel tank capacity listed in the vehicle specifications is not the maximum capacity. According to international standards, liters (L) are used as the unit of measurement for fuel tank capacity, and different countries and regions have their own standards. In China, national regulations specify that the nominal fuel tank capacity must not exceed 95% of the actual capacity. This means the labeled capacity can be smaller but not larger than the actual capacity. Therefore, the actual fuel tank capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity. With a full tank, the maximum driving range is typically 400-600 kilometers. The fuel tank size is generally proportional to the vehicle's fuel consumption, with larger tanks for more fuel-consuming vehicles and smaller tanks for more fuel-efficient ones, except for some off-road vehicles.

How to Make a U-turn at Highway Exit?

How to make a U-turn at highway exit is introduced as follows: 1. U-turns are not allowed before exiting the toll station on the highway. Usually, the lanes in both directions are separated, making it impossible for drivers to make a U-turn. To make a U-turn, you must first exit the toll station and then turn around to re-enter the toll station. 2. U-turns outside the toll station are generally allowed if there is no median barrier, and it is not considered a violation or subject to penalties. Additional information: 1. Penalty for U-turns on highways: If a vehicle crosses the central barrier on a highway to make an illegal U-turn, a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points will be imposed according to the law. 2. Traffic management reminder: According to laws and regulations, vehicles can make U-turns at locations where there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Additionally, when turning or making a U-turn, vehicles must activate their turn signals at least 30 meters in advance and must not exceed a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

Should snow on the car be removed promptly?

It is essential to promptly remove snow from the car, as accumulated snow can easily freeze and block windows, spray nozzles, and other areas. The pristine white snow on the car may look beautiful, but in reality, it contains a large amount of corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salts, especially in areas with poor air quality where snow contains more harmful substances. If not removed in time, these substances can erode the car's paint, causing the external glaze to lose its luster. Therefore, it is best for car owners to wash their cars immediately after the snow stops, even if the weather forecast predicts more snow in the coming days. Additional tips: 1. Properly clear snow from the windshield and windows: Many car owners, upon seeing their vehicles covered in snow, resort to simple and rough methods for cleaning. For example, using the wipers to clear the glass or pouring hot water on the windows or door gaps, both of which are incorrect. After a car is covered in snow, a layer of frost forms on the glass surface. Using wipers or brute force to remove it can damage the glass. 2. Wash the car promptly after snow to prevent corrosion: If the car's paint is not properly maintained, it can also be easily damaged by snow. Snow contains many chemical particles from the air, which can corrode tires, paint, and other parts. Therefore, to protect the vehicle, it is crucial to wash it promptly after a snow day.

Is it mandatory to merge motorcycle and C1 licenses?

A motorcycle license and a C1 license must be merged. According to regulations, each individual can only apply for one driver's license. Therefore, if you already hold a driver's license and wish to add another vehicle type, the vehicle management office will not issue an additional license upon successful addition. Instead, the original license will be revoked, and a new license combining the two permitted vehicle types will be issued. This is because all additional vehicle types share the same 12-point system on the license. Obtaining a motorcycle license when you already have a C1 license is relatively simple. As long as the C1 license has passed the probationary period and there are no records of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before application, you can apply for the additional license at the local vehicle management office. The advantage of merging is that you only need to carry one license, eliminating the need to switch between licenses. The downside is that after merging, penalty points are deducted from the shared 12-point system. Whether it's a motorcycle or a car, accumulating 12 points will require retaking the exam. If the license is revoked, you will need to take separate exams to regain the combined C1E license. Additionally, the current F license for electric vehicles also requires registration and a driving test. In the future, it might be merged into the C1E license, creating a C1EF license. A three-in-one license would likely follow the same 12-point deduction system for all three vehicle types.
