What does section speed control mean? What are the penalties for speeding?

Section speed control explanation: Two adjacent monitoring points are set up on the same road section. The average speed of a vehicle on that section is calculated based on the time it takes for the vehicle to pass between these two monitoring points. The vehicle is then judged to be speeding or violating traffic rules according to the speed limit standard set for that section. Below are the speeding fine and penalty point standards: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: no fine, but 3 penalty points; 2. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%: a fine and 3 penalty points; 3. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%: a fine and 3 penalty points; 4. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70%: a fine and 6 penalty points, with possible driver's license suspension; 5. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 70%: a fine and 6 penalty points, with possible driver's license suspension.

Why is the steering wheel so heavy?

The reasons for a heavy steering wheel are as follows: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the car's power steering pump, which transmits steering force and provides cushioning. The power steering fluid needs to be replaced regularly, and any leaks should be checked. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering will become heavy. 2. Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the road surface, leading to greater friction and difficulty in steering, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety. In this case, the tire pressure should be replenished promptly. 3. Overly tight bearing fit: For the rolling bearings connected to the steering system, if they are too tightly fitted with the sliding bearings, it can prevent proper lubrication of the bearings, leading to sticking issues and causing the steering wheel to become heavy. In this case, the mechanical parts and the power steering system should be inspected, or checked for oil leaks or damaged intake seal components. 4. Power steering system issues: The steering wheel and the power steering system are closely related. Therefore, when the steering wheel becomes very heavy, it may also be due to poor electrical contact or other issues within the power steering system. In this case, it should be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop.

Is It Normal to Burn One Liter of Oil Every 5,000 Kilometers?

The normal oil consumption for every 5,000 kilometers depends on the vehicle model. For Japanese models, the oil consumption is around 1L per 5,000 kilometers, while for German models (with smaller engine clearances), it is approximately 1.5L. Factors affecting oil consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on oil consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted acceleration fuel consumption tests, finding that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed when vehicles accelerate into test sections. Tips to reduce oil consumption: If you want to save fuel, avoid frequent lane changes, overtaking, and merging, as these not only increase fuel consumption but also raise the probability of accidents. Each gear shift also consumes additional fuel. Even in traffic jams, try to queue in order; cutting in line will only result in more fuel consumption.

What is the fastest method to refurbish plastic headlights?

Remove dust and dirt from the surface. Daily car washing may leave polish or wax layers, so the first step is to wipe these clean. Go to the supermarket and buy some blue, low-viscosity, easily peelable tape to cover the edges of the headlights. If some areas appear hazy or foggy, you can also cover those sections. Soak a piece of 1000-grit sandpaper in cold water for 10 minutes, then evenly wipe the headlight housing. Sand in one direction back and forth to keep the surface moist. After wiping away the sanding powder, apply an appropriate amount of polishing compound/paste using a fiber cloth or microfiber towel onto the plastic housing. Some car headlights come with a built-in UV protective coating, which may be damaged during sanding. If you don’t want the headlights to deteriorate again, you can also apply a new protective layer yourself.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda XR-V?

The combined fuel consumption of the Honda XR-V is 6.0-6.3L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the Honda XR-V available for sale. The 1.5L-CVT Obsidian Edition, CVT Comfort Edition, and CVT Classic Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The 1.5T-CVT Luxury Edition, CVT Flagship Edition, CVT Luxury Edition, CVT Comfort Edition, and CVT Obsidian Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The Manual Classic Edition has a combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 6.0-11.0L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase 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 greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel 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 car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls higher idle speeds to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.

What Maintenance is Needed for a Car at 80,000 Kilometers?

At 80,000 kilometers, a major maintenance service should be performed, requiring a thorough inspection of the vehicle. In addition to the regular oil and oil filter replacement, it is also necessary to replace the air and cabin air filters, fuel filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid. If some components have been replaced during recent maintenance, their condition should be checked to determine if replacement is needed. Additionally, the wear level of brake pads and tires should be inspected, as well as whether rubber components in the chassis or other areas have aged or cracked. Vehicle maintenance includes the following items: 1. Primary vehicle maintenance items: After completing primary maintenance, the vehicle should be clean, connections should be secure, the three filters should be clear, and there should be no leaks of oil, water, gas, or electricity. 2. Lubrication items for primary vehicle maintenance: Check the oil levels in the generator, transmission, rear axle, and steering gear, and add lubricating oil as required. All oil nozzles in various parts of the vehicle should be complete and functional. 3. Inspection and tightening items for primary vehicle maintenance: Check the steering gear, tie rods, drag links, and the tightness of all steering arm connections.
