A car that has been in stock for six months is considered an inventory car, and it can be purchased if its condition is satisfactory. Additional information: 1. Definition of an inventory car: There is no clear legal definition for an inventory car, but it generally refers to a car that has been in stock for more than six months without being sold. Cars that have been in production for over a year are classified as long-term inventory cars. 2. Differences between inventory cars and new cars: (1) Difference one: Inventory cars have been parked for a longer time than new cars, which may lead to aging of various components, such as tires, batteries, fluids, rubber parts, paint, and related drainage holes. (2) Difference two: Dealers usually offer discounts and promotions for inventory cars, making them cheaper than new cars.

Which side is the accelerator in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator is on the right side. Automatic transmission cars only have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, both of which are controlled by the right foot. The brake pedal is on the left, and the accelerator pedal is on the right, with no need to use the left foot. This design is based on ergonomics by manufacturers to ensure drivers can react quickly in emergencies. To prevent confusion while driving an automatic car, the accelerator pedal is designed to be lower, and the brake pedal is relatively higher. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake during driving, thereby preventing potential dangers.

What does emergency lane photography mean?

Emergency lane photography refers to the prohibition of occupying the emergency lane on highways or elevated roads. To prevent such occupancy, cameras are installed on highways to monitor and capture images at all times. The emergency lane on a highway is adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, with a width of at least 3 meters, including the hard shoulder, and an effective length of 30 meters or more, providing sufficient space for vehicles to pull over when needed. In emergency situations, vehicles are allowed to drive or park on the emergency lane. However, if a vehicle uses the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances, the owner will be penalized according to relevant regulations.

What lights should be used when driving a motor vehicle at night?

Light usage for motor vehicles driving at night: 1. If the speed is below 30 kilometers per hour, low beam should be used. Under normal conditions, the light can illuminate beyond 30 meters. When passing through an intersection, reduce speed in advance and switch from high beam to low beam. If turning, activate the turn signal in advance; 2. When the distance to oncoming vehicles is about 150 meters, switch from high beam to low beam in advance to avoid affecting the driver's visibility during the meeting process; 3. When driving on national highways with fewer vehicles or roads without streetlights, use high beam. When the high beam is on, a prominent blue light on the dashboard will illuminate as a reminder. Switch to low beam promptly when meeting other vehicles; 4. In case of sudden vehicle malfunction, pull over to the side of the road in time. When towing, the hazard warning flashers should be activated promptly.

How to Use the Rearview Camera?

The usage method of the rearview camera: 1. The rearview camera will automatically activate when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear; 2. The image displayed by the rearview camera is captured in real-time by the rear camera. Due to the distortion caused by the camera's imaging, it can easily lead to misjudgment of obstacle distances by the driver. Therefore, when judging distances, it is advisable to rely on the more accurate distance feedback provided by the parking sensors; 3. Almost all rearview cameras come with a parking trajectory system. This system simulates the wheel's path using two dashed lines, which will deflect as the steering wheel is turned, thereby further enhancing parking safety.

Should the positive or negative terminal be connected first when installing a car battery?

When installing a car battery, connect the positive terminal first followed by the negative terminal. When removing, disconnect the negative terminal first and then the positive terminal. Incorrect operation can lead to serious consequences. Reason: The car itself is a negatively charged system. If the negative terminal is connected first, it may cause a short circuit in the car's equipment. By connecting the positive terminal first and securing it properly, even if the negative terminal of the battery comes into contact with the car's negative parts, it won't cause a short circuit, effectively protecting the vehicle and extending its service life. Battery installation steps: 1. Place the new battery in the corresponding battery tray, aligning the positions of the positive and negative terminals; 2. First attach the positive terminal clamp, then attach the negative terminal clamp; 3. Confirm that the connections are correct and close the engine hood.
