It is necessary to turn off the engine when refueling. When a motor vehicle is being refueled at a gas station, if the engine is not turned off, although the vehicle is not moving, the engine is still running at high speed. An operating engine inevitably involves the flow of electric current, which can be extremely dangerous if a short circuit or leakage occurs at this time. Precautions for refueling: 1. When going to a gas station to refuel, the vehicle should be turned off; 2. Smoking is prohibited, and open flames should not be used in the gas station; 3. Do not make phone calls or use mobile phones; 4. If there are many people, queue up and avoid cutting in line; 5. Choose the correct gasoline grade when refueling.

Below is an introduction to fatigued driving: 1. Introduction: Fatigued driving refers to the phenomenon where a driver, after prolonged continuous driving, experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction leading to a decline in driving skills. 2. Hazards: It can affect the driver's attention, thinking, judgment, and other aspects, making it highly likely to cause traffic accidents. 3.

Does Taiwan drive on the left or right?

Taiwan drives on the right. Here are the relevant details: 1. According to regulations: On June 8, 1946, the revised 'Penalty Law for Violations' was announced on June 19, which stipulated in Article 58, Clause 7: Vehicles, horses, and pedestrians not advancing on the right side and not heeding prohibitions shall be subject to a small fine or reprimand. From then on, all vehicles nationwide drove on the right side, and post-recovery Taiwan also followed the law, switching to right-hand driving. 2. Advantages of right-hand driving: The main advantage of right-hand driving is that drivers can use their left hand to maintain control of the steering wheel while using their right hand to perform complex actions such as shifting gears and operating the dashboard, which is beneficial for right-handed drivers. Additionally, right-hand driving makes it easier for cyclists or motorcyclists to signal turns with their left hand.

Can a car be driven on the road without an annual inspection?

A car cannot be driven on the road without an annual inspection. According to regulations, if a motor vehicle fails to undergo an annual inspection on time, it will be penalized with a deduction of 3 points, and the vehicle may also be temporarily impounded. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination based on the technical conditions for safe operation of motor vehicles. Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. For vehicles that cannot undergo the annual inspection on time due to special circumstances, an application for an extension should be submitted in advance to the local vehicle management office. Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and registration certificates, prohibiting them from continuing to be driven.

What does EV restricted mean?

EV restricted indicates a malfunction in the high-voltage system of the motor vehicle. The EV function restriction only occurs in new energy vehicles, not in fuel-powered vehicles. The EV mode in new energy vehicles refers to the pure electric mode. The vehicle is powered by a battery-driven motor, which provides the necessary power for the motor vehicle to operate, thereby reducing the use of fuel. Reasons for the vehicle not starting are as follows: 1. Check if the battery voltage is too low: Turn on the headlights and some electrical devices to observe whether the dashboard and interior lighting dim during the startup process. If they dim, it indicates insufficient battery voltage. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the intake pipe: Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle valve, idle speed motor, etc., prevent the engine's air-fuel mixture from reaching the required ratio, leading to the vehicle's inability to start. The repeated engagement of the magnetic solenoid and starter relay produces a clicking sound.

Where is the Citroen C-Quatre's Cabin Air Filter Located?

The cabin air filter (also known as the pollen filter) of the Citroen New C-Quatre is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Here is more information about automotive cabin air filters: 1. The cabin air filter is a crucial component of a vehicle's air conditioning system. It prevents external contaminants from entering the system, which could otherwise impair its normal operation. 2. The cabin air filter helps purify incoming air to some extent, maintaining a relatively comfortable environment inside the vehicle. Generally, it should be replaced every 5,000-8,000 kilometers. 3. If the cabin air filter isn't cleaned or replaced promptly, blockage by debris may affect the air conditioning system's performance and cause unnecessary issues. Note that some vehicle models have non-cleanable cabin air filters that require replacement only.
