According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and the "Sichuan Province Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Law," vehicles without a fire extinguisher may be subject to a fine without penalty points. Highway traffic police stated that on expressways, traffic authorities primarily focus on checking whether buses and large trucks are equipped with fire extinguishers, while warnings and reminders are often given to passenger cars, though penalties can also be imposed. Methods for vehicle fire prevention are as follows: 1. Keep the fire extinguisher in a dry and ventilated location: The placement of the fire extinguisher should be kept dry and ventilated to prevent moisture corrosion of the cylinder. 2. Avoid direct sunlight: It should be protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight and strong radiant heat to avoid affecting its normal use. 3. Regular inspection and maintenance: The vehicle fire extinguisher should be placed in an easily accessible location and inspected regularly. Strengthen the maintenance and management of fire extinguishers to ensure that every extinguisher can effectively combat fires when needed, promptly extinguishing initial fires to reduce casualties and material losses.

I have deep feelings about this. The other day when I passed a highway accident scene, I saw smoke coming from the hood of a car, with the driver anxiously searching for a fire extinguisher. Although the Road Traffic Safety Law doesn't mandate private cars to be equipped with fire extinguishers, the newly revised industry standards last year clearly recommend carrying at least 1kg of dry powder fire extinguisher in vehicles. The key point is that the first three minutes of an engine compartment fire are the golden rescue period - waiting for fire trucks often takes too long. I always keep a fire extinguisher hung under the driver's seat in my car, and check before every summer whether the pressure gauge needle is in the green zone. Don't skimp on this - you can buy a 3C-certified one online for just fifty yuan. If you ever encounter a short circuit causing spontaneous combustion or collision-induced fire, this little device can save lives.

What does M+ mean in an automatic transmission car?

That refers to a manual/automatic transmission. When shifted horizontally from D to the manual side, M+ is for upshifting and M- is for downshifting (the automatic transmission sets several gear ratios to simulate manual shifting). Below is relevant information about other gear positions: Common automatic transmission vehicles have P, R, N, D, 3, 2, and 1 gear positions: 1. P (Parking gear): When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted to P position. 2. N (Neutral gear): N position is equivalent to neutral gear, which can be used when starting or towing the vehicle. 3. D (Drive gear): During normal driving, place the gear lever in D position, and the car will automatically shift between 1-3 or 4,5 gears. D is the most commonly used gear. 4. S (Sport mode): In this gear position, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at high RPM for a longer time, thereby increasing the vehicle's power.
