Safety is relative. Strictly speaking, small cars tend to be safer. Automotive Safety: Automotive safety is divided into active safety and passive safety. Active safety refers to safety systems that allow for smooth control and operation of the vehicle. Safety of Large vs. Small Vehicles: People often compare safety based on the consequences of collisions between large and small vehicles, but this is only one aspect. Small vehicles generally have much better active safety features, including superior handling, acceleration, and braking performance compared to large vehicles. On the other hand, large vehicles have better passive safety, meaning their structures are relatively more robust in the event of a typical collision.

Why is the handbrake indicator light on?

Here are the reasons why the handbrake light is on: 1. The handbrake is not fully released: The handbrake is not truly disengaged; 2. Low brake fluid: Insufficient brake fluid, with the fluid level below the safety line; 3. Brake pulling: If the handbrake light is on and accompanied by brake pulling, it may be due to uneven wear of brake pads or uneven force from the brake caliper. This situation requires immediate repair, as it can endanger driving safety. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, functions by providing resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. It is equivalent to the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locking the drive shaft or rear wheels.

What are the precautions and procedures for buying a used car?

Buying a used car should mainly focus on three aspects: price, procedures, and vehicle condition. The details are as follows: 1. Price: When choosing a used car, it is essential to respect its price. Online platforms offer transparent pricing, and after searching, you can get a general price range. You can also refer to the prices in the used car market. After online comparisons and on-site inspections at the market, you can have a relatively accurate grasp of the price for the selected model. 2. Procedures: Procedures are more important than the vehicle condition. It's best to avoid a car if there are issues with its procedures. You must confirm whether the vehicle's documents are authentic and complete, whether the engine number and chassis number on the documents match those on the vehicle, whether the vehicle can be transferred, whether there are any mortgages, court seizures, financial disputes, unresolved violations, or if the inspection and insurance have expired. For vehicles owned by companies, check if there are any specific local requirements for transfer. 3. Vehicle Condition: Pay close attention to the condition of the used car. Even if a car with poor condition is cheap, you should consider it carefully. After identifying your ideal model, if your budget allows, try to choose a car that is as new as possible. A newer model usually means less usage intensity, and some cars may not even have exceeded the original warranty period in terms of time and mileage.

Does the Lian Dongyun Qoros 5 have a reverse camera?

Lian Dongyun Qoros 5 does not have a reverse camera. A reverse camera, also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. 1. Advantages: Simple installation. Generally, a single-channel output reverse camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light power supply, and the negative power wire can be connected to the negative terminal of the reverse light or grounded. 2. Disadvantages: Proactiveness. When reversing, the driver needs to first observe the dynamic display on the screen, meaning you need to look at it to understand the situation.

How to Start a Car with a Remote Key?

Press the start button on the key to start the car. Here is some information about remote keys: 1. Advantages and Disadvantages: Remote keys provide a great user experience, meeting people's demands for convenience and comfort. However, due to the technical limitations of one-way RF communication, they have inherent shortcomings in terms of security. 2. Usage: When the car owner enters the effective range near the car, the car will automatically detect the key and perform identity verification. If successful, it will correspondingly unlock the doors or trunk. When the car owner enters the car, simply pressing the engine start button will prompt the car to automatically detect the key's position, determining whether the key is inside the car and in the driver's seat. If successful, the engine will start.

How to Repair Faded and Oxidized Car Paint?

Methods to repair faded and oxidized car paint are as follows: 1. Slight Oxidation: If the oxidation is slight, it can be removed with wax. However, if the oxidation is severe, grinding and polishing are necessary. 2. Paint Cracking: If the car has metallic paint, it is important to prevent paint cracking. This is a very fine crack that can gradually penetrate the paint layer until it "penetrates" the entire color coat. The early stages of cracking are difficult to detect, and by the time it is noticeable, the damage is usually severe. If stripes appear on the car body during waxing and polishing, it is due to wax residue in the cracks. Additionally, due to quality issues in the painting process, the resin in the paint may "shrink," leading to cracking. This type of "skin disease" can only be cured by repainting.

Can You Drive with Transmission Oil Leakage?

Transmission oil leakage is not a big deal if it's minor, and you can continue driving. Here are the specific details about transmission oil leakage: 1. Causes: The main causes of transmission oil leakage are damaged seals or broken pipelines. Broken pipelines cause oil to leak during circulation from the damaged area; at the connection between the transmission and the engine, damaged seals or loose fastening bolts can widen the connection gap, reducing sealing effectiveness and causing oil to leak from the gap. If the root cause is not addressed promptly, the oil leakage issue will persist. 2. Impact: Transmission oil leakage can lead to insufficient lubrication, accelerating friction between gears. Transmission oil also serves to cool and remove impurities inside the transmission. Prolonged operation without lubrication can cause the transmission to fail. Therefore, timely inspection and repair are essential.
