It is normal for a new car to shake during a cold start because the vehicle is in the break-in period at this time, and the coordination between the driver and the clutch is not yet optimal. This can easily lead to improper clutch control, and the shaking phenomenon may lessen after a period of time. When starting the car with low engine coolant temperature, if the engine starts smoothly, it indicates that the battery is in good condition. As the engine speed gradually decreases, timely charging is necessary. Paying attention to battery inspection and maintenance is beneficial for car starting. Generally, engine shaking may also be accompanied by piston slap, which involves severe wear between the piston and cylinder wall, along with an abnormal, dull knocking sound. If this phenomenon occurs, it indicates a very serious engine issue that requires immediate inspection and repair.

How is running a red light captured?

It is determined by capturing three photos with an electronic camera. The first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red light and license plate number; the second photo shows the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, including the red light and license plate number; the third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the position change of the vehicle in the second photo, including the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos can determine that the vehicle has run a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. To avoid running a red light, consider the following points: First look at the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, you can turn right; when encountering an arrow signal light with a red right-turn arrow, you cannot turn right, otherwise it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, and it will be penalized as running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, judge accordingly; if there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you can proceed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crosswalk signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to special vehicles such as ambulances or fire trucks. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to emergency vehicles, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is very low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The photos of the violation may be blurry, and mistakenly running a red light will not be penalized by traffic police. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights is inevitable, and 12 penalty points may not suffice. After delivering the patient, provide proof from the hospital or the person being assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid traffic accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and you still rush through, it will be considered running a red light if captured.

Can You Continue Driving When the Engine Oil Level is at the Minimum?

You should not drive when the engine oil level is at the minimum. Solutions for low engine oil level: It is necessary to check whether the engine is leaking oil or burning oil. After refilling the oil to the maximum level, you can continue driving. To prevent further damage to the engine due to insufficient oil, the owner should promptly refill the oil at the nearest gas station or auto repair shop. Hazards of driving with low engine oil level: Insufficient oil will reduce cooling for these parts, and the car should not be driven aggressively or under heavy load. If the car is driven aggressively at this time, it will cause excessive engine load and temperature rise, leading to engine overheating.

What is the displacement of 550t?

550t has a displacement of 2.0, representing a 2.0 turbocharged engine. Introduction to Turbocharging: Turbocharging refers to the process where exhaust gases from the engine drive the turbine blades on one side, causing the turbine to enter a high-speed operating state. This, in turn, compresses a large amount of fresh air into the engine cylinders through the blades on the other side, providing the engine with powerful explosive force. Compared to a conventional naturally aspirated engine, a turbocharged engine can continuously output its maximum torque within a certain engine speed range, ensuring smooth vehicle acceleration. Meaning of Displacement: Displacement, a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or expelled per stroke or cycle. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time, resulting in better "power performance." For example, compared to a teenage boy, a healthy adult can perform physical tasks more efficiently.
