Occasional hard braking does not cause significant damage to the vehicle and does not affect normal usage. Here are the details: Hard braking: When a car brakes hard, the brake assist system and electronic stability system activate to maintain normal vehicle operation. Occasional hard braking only causes relatively greater wear on brake friction pads and tires, and slightly increases fuel consumption during acceleration, but has no other effects. Avoiding hard braking: Car brakes should be used according to reasonable requirements. Like other components of the vehicle, each part has its own function and reasonable usage rules. When braking, try to avoid hard braking as much as possible. This not only protects the braking components but also reduces injuries caused by inertia during hard braking.

What are the new regulations for small vehicle inspections?

New regulations for small vehicle inspections: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must undergo inspection once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once every year after exceeding 6 years; and once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Below are the methods to check the vehicle inspection time: 1. Vehicle license: Check the vehicle license, the registration date at the bottom of the original document. The month of the registration date is the month for the vehicle inspection, with the deadline being the last day of that month. 2. Inspection sticker: On the white side of the inspection sticker, the expiration date for inspection is printed, which is the deadline month for the inspection. This can also be done three months in advance. 3. Compulsory insurance policy: The compulsory insurance policy has the vehicle's registration date.

What is the standard height for car headlights?

For low beams, adjust the focal point to converge at a distance of 30 meters, while for high beams, adjust the focal point to be parallel to the ground. Below is relevant information: 1. 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 external image of a car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving during nighttime or in poor weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. 2. Headlight Assembly: The headlight assembly also includes position lights, used for driving during dusk or night to inform other drivers of your position, enhancing safety during nighttime driving. The headlight is installed in the middle of the headlight assembly. Generally, a car headlight consists of a single bulb containing filaments for both low and high beams, with the switch controlling the transition between the two light beams.

Where is the raised point on the windshield wiper?

The raised point is located at the connection between the wiper arm and the wiper blade. It can be used to determine the position of the wheels. For example, when the right wiper node aligns with the roadside line, the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the roadside line is approximately 10 cm. Below are related details: 1. Wiper rivet: When the left wiper rivet aligns with the right roadside line, the distance between the vehicle body and the roadside line is about 30 cm. This method is commonly used for fixed-point parking on slopes in driving test Subject 2 or roadside parking in Subject 3. 2. Right 1/3 of the front hood: When the right one-third of the front hood aligns with the roadside line, the right side of the vehicle is also approximately 30 cm from the roadside line. For some car models without a "body line" division on the hood, beginners may find it difficult to determine this one-third position. Therefore, multiple reference points can be combined to roughly estimate the vehicle's distance.

What is the method for cleaning an oxygen sensor?

For oxygen sensors that are not severely dirty, carburetor cleaner can be used for cleaning. For those with heavy dirt, a solution of sulfuric acid diluted with ferric chloride can be used. Below are the specific cleaning steps: 1. Remove the oxygen sensor and soak it in a solution of 5-10% ferric chloride with excess hydrochloric acid. The exact ratio should be adjusted based on the condition of the sensor's surface. Soak the oxygen sensor in the solution for 10-15 minutes, then remove and rinse thoroughly with water. Ensure that the four surrounding holes are clear, and when viewed from the bottom, the internal carrier should appear white after cleaning. 2. If the cleaning is not satisfactory, repeat the process until the white carrier becomes visible. Alternatively, you can take the sensor directly to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop and have a technician clean it for you.

Can the car be driven if the key is not in the vehicle but the engine is running?

If the key is not in the car but the engine is running, the car can still be driven. Here are the relevant details: 1. One-Button Start: For vehicles equipped with a one-button start feature, when the smart key leaves the car, the system will only display a message on the screen indicating that the smart key is not inside the vehicle. However, the car can still be operated until it is turned off, after which it cannot be restarted without the key. 2. Important Notes: Vehicles with one-button start usually emit an alert sound and display a message on the screen when the smart key leaves the car. Some owners may ignore this if the car is still drivable, but this is not advisable. If the vehicle is turned off at the next destination, it will not restart until the smart key is brought back to the car.
