How to Turn Off the Low Beam?

Car light switches are generally integrated into the stalk switch on the left side of the steering wheel, though there are exceptions where some models feature a rotary knob-style switch. Simply twist or toggle to the designated position to turn the corresponding exterior lights on or off, with the dashboard simultaneously displaying the relevant indicator. Below are the correct methods for using car lights: 1. Poorly lit roads: Use high beams on roads without streetlights or with inadequate lighting. However, switch to low beams when approaching other vehicles or pedestrians to avoid glare. 2. Reading road signs: When unfamiliar with the road and needing to read signs, high beams can be used but should be quickly switched back to low beams. 3. Overtaking: Activate the left turn signal in advance and alternate between high and low beams or honk to alert the vehicle ahead to yield. 4. Navigating corners, curves, or intersections without traffic signals: Alternate between high and low beams as a warning. 5. Driving through tunnels: Use high beams but switch to low beams in advance when encountering oncoming traffic. 6. Urban areas with streetlights at night: Low beams must be used. 7. Driving in unlit areas at night or during dusk/dawn: Low beams must be activated. 8. Impaired visibility: In conditions like heavy fog, snow, or rain where visibility is reduced, low beams must be turned on even during the day.

How to Deal with an Oily Film on the Car Windshield?

Purchase a specialized oily film remover, apply it to the windshield after washing the car, and then clean it with a sponge for noticeable results. Here is some relevant information: 1. Oily Film: An oily film forms when dust and grease from the air adhere to the glass and are not cleaned properly, accumulating over time. Regular wipers and car washes often fail to remove stubborn oily films effectively. 2. Precautions: Always use windshield washer fluid instead of cutting corners or trying to save money by using plain water. Windshield washer fluid not only cleans the glass but also provides lubrication and antifreeze properties. It is also affordable, and maintaining clean glass is a key factor in preventing oily film formation.

What to Do If the Driver's License Test Expires Before Completion?

Passed subject test results will be invalidated, requiring a complete retake. Below is relevant information about the driver's license test: 1. Registration: Bring the original and a copy of your ID card to the driving school registration point to sign up and wait for the theoretical study schedule. After the theoretical study schedule is arranged, bring the student card and notice issued by the driving school for a two-day theoretical study. 2. Notes: Each stage of the test is scheduled by the driving school. Each test has two attempts. If the first attempt is not passed, the second test will be conducted immediately. If the second attempt is also failed, a retake can be scheduled 20 days later upon payment of a retake fee. To obtain the license quickly, every test must be passed on the first attempt. If retakes are needed, more time will be required.

What is e92 fuel?

e92 gasoline refers to 92-octane gasoline containing ethanol. e92 gasoline is gasoline blended with 10% alcohol. Ethanol gasoline can reduce the content of fuel consumption substances in exhaust emissions, which is beneficial for environmental protection. More information about ethanol gasoline is as follows: 1. Introduction: Currently, bioethanol fuel has become one of the world's recognized environmentally friendly fuels and a major resource to replace fossil fuels. Two-thirds of the world's ethanol production and sales are used for fuel. Since ethanol's properties are relatively similar to gasoline, using ethanol in automobiles can increase the fuel's octane rating, enhance oxygen content, make combustion in the engine cylinders more complete, and thereby reduce the emission of harmful substances in exhaust. Currently, the use of gasoline-ethanol blended fuel as a substitute for gasoline is becoming increasingly mature in terms of both production and application technology worldwide. 2. There are four application methods for ethanol fuel in automobiles: The first is the blending method, where ethanol is mixed with gasoline for use. Since this method does not require significant technical modifications to the internal combustion engine or major automobile components, it is the primary method for the promotion and application of ethanol-fueled vehicles. The second is the pure burning method, where ethanol is used as the main fuel for vehicles (E85 and above). The third is denatured fuel ethanol, which is ethanol produced after dehydration and the addition of denaturants. Denatured fuel ethanol vehicles are still in the experimental application stage. The fourth is flexible fuel, which can use gasoline, ethanol, methanol, or their mixtures with gasoline in any proportion, and can also use hydrogen, with the ability to switch at any time. Currently, apart from the blending method, the other three methods are still in the experimental stage.
