It is not permissible to drive at night with only the width indicator lights on; you must turn on the low beam headlights. Automotive width indicator lights are installed on vehicles to indicate the width of the car. They are a type of commonly used light. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the small lights that illuminate at the front and rear are the width indicator lights (also known as evening running lights, which are turned on when it is not completely dark; the next position after the width indicator lights is the low beam, and the high beam refers to the main headlights). Automotive width indicator lights are used to show the width of the vehicle to alert other drivers and vehicles behind. Width lights are used during evening driving to make the vehicle visible to others. The following are the guidelines for using lights when driving at night: 1. It is best to use high beams on national highways or expressways. When driving at night on sparsely traveled national highways, expressways, or roads without street lighting, it is advisable for the driver to use high beams for illumination. When the high beams are on, a prominent blue light will illuminate on the dashboard as a reminder. 2. Turn on the hazard warning lights in case of road faults or when towing a vehicle. If you encounter sudden vehicle malfunctions, traffic accidents, or need to pull over at night, or if you are towing a disabled vehicle, whether you are the towing vehicle or the towed vehicle, you should promptly turn on the hazard warning flashing lights. 3. Turn on the running lights first when driving at night. Running lights, commonly referred to as 'small lights' or width indicator lights, are the first thing a driver should do before driving at night. They indicate the four corners of the vehicle's body to surrounding vehicles to ensure a safe distance. The running light switch is generally the first position on the light switch.

What Causes Loss of Power After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

Loss of power after cleaning the throttle body is generally caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive use of cleaner: Too much cleaner sprayed during cleaning leads to an overly rich air-fuel mixture and incomplete combustion. This issue usually resolves itself after a short period of driving. 2. Improper cleaning method: Sometimes when cleaning the throttle body, the intake tract, fuel system, and catalytic converter are also cleaned, which can easily cause abnormal engine damage, catalytic converter damage, or clogging. 3. Ignition system damage: When spark plugs are about to be replaced, improper cleaning can make the engine prone to detonation, causing certain damage to the ignition system, and sometimes even damaging engine components.

Does the car's heating air conditioning consume fuel?

Using the car's heating system does not consume fuel. The details are as follows: 1. The warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation: After the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the fan directs this heat into the car to form warm air; when the heating is not in use, the fan stops, and the heating vent closes, allowing all the dissipated heat to be released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the car's heating system recycles waste heat and does not consume fuel. 2. The cold air is formed by compressing the refrigerant to liquefy and then vaporize it, absorbing a large amount of heat from the air; when the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor pulley drives the compressor to work, increasing the engine load and consuming a certain amount of fuel.

What is needed to enter the highway?

To enter the highway, you need your ID card and driver's license. The following is an introduction to highways: 1. Introduction: A highway, abbreviated as expressway, refers to a road specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. 2. Advantages: (1) Increased driving speed: Highways have straight routes and no intersections, with a minimum speed of 80 km/h and a maximum speed of over 120 km/h, saving travel time. (2) Enhanced traffic efficiency: A four-lane dual-carriageway highway can normally handle up to 50,000 vehicles per day, equivalent to the capacity of 5 to 16 ordinary roads. (3) Reduced transportation costs: Due to high-speed and uninterrupted travel, compared to ordinary roads, vehicle fuel consumption and freight costs per kilometer can be reduced by 25%~42% and 53%, respectively.
