Traffic regulations stipulate that vehicle appearance cannot be altered arbitrarily. The shape of headlights is also part of the vehicle's appearance, and modifying headlights can be either legal or illegal. Car Headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of a car. They not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of headlights should not be overlooked. Modification Methods: Increasing power or adding spotlights is a low-cost method, but its effectiveness is limited. Replacing a 50W headlight with a 100W one does not simply double the brightness; it only increases it slightly. Since the circuit is not designed for a 100W bulb, the corresponding increase in circuit loss will cause the voltage at both ends of the headlight to drop, leading to an increased load on the circuit and creating potential safety hazards.

What are the consequences of accidentally shifting into reverse gear when downshifting from fifth to fourth gear?

When downshifting from fifth to fourth gear while driving, accidentally shifting into reverse gear will cause severe gear grinding noise in the transmission when releasing the clutch, and the clutch cannot be fully engaged. Quickly depressing the clutch can correct this mistake: Occasionally experiencing this situation once or twice has little impact on the vehicle, but frequent accidental reverse gear engagement may lead to transmission damage. The correct operating procedure when shifting from 5th to 4th gear is: Depress the clutch, first pull out from 5th gear, do not apply force to the shift lever, let the lever naturally return to the neutral position, then push backward to engage 4th gear. Generally, both manual and automatic transmission vehicles have special reverse gear lockout devices. The engine may stall, and the engine speed may increase with louder noise, potentially causing problems due to excessive engine load.

What to Do About Brake Noise in the New Jetta?

Brake noise in the new Jetta may be caused by the break-in period of a new car, newly replaced brake pads after rainy days, or sand and stones entering the brake discs. Here are the specific reasons for brake noise: 1. Brake noise in a new car: This is generally normal as the car is still in the break-in period, and the brake pads and discs have not fully worn in. Minor friction sounds may occur, but the noise will naturally disappear after driving for some time. 2. Noise from newly replaced brake pads: After installing new brake pads, uneven contact between the edges of the pads and the discs can cause noise. To prevent this, the edges of the new brake pads can be smoothed before installation to avoid scraping against the raised parts of the brake discs. 3. Noise after rainy days: Most brake discs are made of iron and are exposed to the elements. After rain or washing, rust may form on the discs, causing noise when the vehicle is started again. This happens because the rust causes the discs and pads to stick together. The noise will stop after driving and applying the brakes a few times to remove the rust. 4. Noise due to sand or stones in the brakes: If foreign objects like sand or small stones get between the brake pads and discs, a sharp squealing sound may occur when braking. Continuing to drive normally will usually dislodge the particles, and the noise will disappear.

Should You Depress the Clutch When Going Downhill?

Do not depress the clutch when driving downhill. Depressing the clutch while going downhill is extremely dangerous: When going downhill, fully depressing the clutch essentially puts the car in neutral coasting, which leads to rapid acceleration and makes it difficult to brake in emergency situations. The clutch is the transmission device that connects or disconnects the engine from the wheels: When the clutch is depressed, the engine's transmission is disconnected from the wheels, and the car moves by inertia at its current speed. When the clutch is released, the engine's transmission is connected to the wheels, and the car moves at a speed determined by the engine. When going downhill, fully depressing the clutch is equivalent to coasting in neutral, which results in faster speeds compared to not being in neutral. In this situation, the car's speed is determined by gravity and inertia, and if the braking system fails, serious consequences may occur.

What does the 'D plate' generally refer to?

In the context of vehicles, the 'D plate' refers to the green license plate. Additionally, in new energy vehicle license plates, the letter D indicates pure electric: New energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. In the special license plates for new energy vehicles, D represents pure electric new energy vehicles, while F represents non-pure electric new energy vehicles. The new energy vehicle license plates primarily feature a green color scheme, with added special identifiers and incorporate new anti-counterfeiting technologies and manufacturing processes. Small new energy vehicle license plates use a gradient green background, while large new energy vehicle license plates use a yellow-green dual-color background. The 'D plate' can also refer to the ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle license. The permitted vehicles for this license are three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h.

Why is the brake pedal hard to press in a hydraulic brake system?

Hard brake pedal in cars is caused by lack of necessary maintenance of the braking system. Insufficient maintenance of the braking system can lead to vacuum booster pump air leakage or failure: Too much impurity in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, vacuum booster pump failure, contaminated brake fluid or gas lock caused by mixing different types of brake fluid under heat, leakage in brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder, or air leakage in air reservoir or pipeline connections. Hard brake pedal after engine shutdown is related to the brake booster: The brake booster only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on residual vacuum assistance, which usually recovers after restarting and is not considered a malfunction.
