Specific policies vary by city, but an increasing number of cities now classify this behavior as illegal parking. Taking Beijing as an example, occupying an EV charging spot with a gasoline vehicle constitutes illegal parking. According to the "Beijing Motor Vehicle Parking Regulations," it is explicitly stated: Non-electric vehicles are prohibited from occupying parking spaces designated exclusively for electric vehicles. Violators will be ordered to rectify the situation by the traffic management department of the public security authority and will be penalized according to the law. The Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management and the Municipal Commission of Transport jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Construction and Management of Charging Facilities in Parking Lots," requiring existing parking lots to install charging piles for no less than 10% of their parking spaces and to designate at least one parking space exclusively for electric vehicles. It also explicitly prohibits gasoline vehicles from occupying EV-exclusive parking spaces, authorizing traffic police to enforce penalties for such violations. Occupying a new energy vehicle parking spot with a gasoline vehicle is equivalent to illegal parking, as it involves parking in an unauthorized location. Therefore, penalizing gasoline vehicles for occupying new energy parking spaces is aimed at protecting the rights and interests of new energy vehicle drivers.

Is it normal for the car's water temperature gauge to show a green light?

It is normal for the car's water temperature gauge to show a green light. The green light indicates that the temperature has not yet reached the normal operating range and will disappear once the water temperature rises. Here is some additional information: Mercury thermometer: A mercury thermometer is a type of expansion thermometer. The freezing point of mercury is -39 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is 356.7 degrees Celsius. It is used to measure temperatures within the range of -39 to 357 degrees Celsius and serves only as an on-site monitoring device. Using it to measure temperature is not only simple and intuitive but also helps avoid errors associated with remote temperature sensors. Self-check function: This is part of the car's self-check function and is a normal phenomenon. When the car starts, indicator lights for many sensors will illuminate, which can be seen on the dashboard. These lights will turn off after a few seconds as part of the self-check process. After prolonged parking, a blue light appearing upon startup indicates low water temperature because the normal operating temperature of the radiator is between 60-80 degrees Celsius. If the ambient temperature has not yet reached the working temperature, the water temperature light will remain on. In this case, it is normal after preheating for 2-3 minutes.

What is the engine model of the Mercedes-Benz GLE?

The engine model for the Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.0L variant is 264-920, with a maximum power output of 190kW, maximum torque of 370Nm, and maximum horsepower of 258Ps. The engine model for the Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.5L variant is 256-925, delivering a maximum power of 270kW, maximum torque of 500Nm, and maximum horsepower of 367Ps. The engines installed in the Mercedes-Benz GLE are manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, a specialized engine production division of the company. For daily maintenance of the Mercedes-Benz GLE engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the selected standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger quantities precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What are the reasons why a Buick mechanical key cannot unlock the car door?

If the mechanical key cannot unlock the car door, it is highly likely that there is an issue with the car door lock cylinder, such as rust. Below are precautions for storing car keys: 1. Remove the key promptly: If you need to leave the car, even for just a few minutes, do not leave the key in the ignition. Always turn off the engine, lock the car, take the key with you, and close all windows and the sunroof tightly to prevent giving thieves an opportunity. 2. Do not keep the spare key in the car: Avoid placing the spare key inside the car. Modern car anti-theft systems are generally designed to protect the engine. Even if a thief manages to duplicate a key to open the door, they cannot start the engine and drive away. However, the spare key can start the engine, so it must never be left inside the car, nor should it be used as a regular key for long-term use. 3. Understand insurance coverage: When purchasing car insurance, make sure to understand the details of theft-related compensation to avoid lacking evidence for a claim in case the key is lost and the car is stolen.

Does the absence of fog lights on a car have any impact?

Cars without front fog lights may experience certain difficulties when driving in foggy conditions. When purchasing a car, it is advisable to choose one equipped with front fog lights. However, even with front fog lights, driving in fog does not guarantee 100% safety, as good driving skills are still essential. Control Methods: Even with fog lights, drivers need to control their speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, using the horn flexibly to enhance driving safety. The control methods for car fog lights vary. Some vehicles feature dedicated fog light control buttons near the dashboard for turning the front and rear fog lights on and off. After activating the lights, pressing the front fog light button turns on the front fog lights, while pressing the rear fog light button turns on the rear fog lights. Rotary Fog Light Activation: This method primarily uses the light control lever to turn the front and rear fog lights on and off. When the knob marked with the fog light symbol in the middle is rotated to the ON position, the front fog lights are activated. Then, turning the knob downward to the rear fog light position activates both the front and rear fog lights. Rotary-Style Fog Light Activation: This method is easier to operate, as simply rotating the knob controls the fog lights' activation and deactivation, making it one of the simpler fog light control methods available.

Is a tire pressure of 250 too high in summer?

Summer tire pressure of 250 is too high. According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5bar. 250 is higher than the maximum value of the standard tire pressure, so it is abnormal. Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure of car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowout due to high temperature. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will be reduced, affecting the braking effect; It will cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; It will accelerate the local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing the tire life; The vibration of the car body will increase, indirectly affecting the life of other components; It will cause excessive stretching deformation of the tire cord, reducing the elasticity of the tire body, and increasing the load on the car during driving; The puncture resistance will decrease. When encountering sharp objects such as nails and glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and the impact will cause internal cracks and explosions, leading to tire blowout.

Does the car color change registration require the owner to go in person?

For color change registration, either the car owner or a friend acting as an agent can handle it. If a friend is acting as an agent, they need to bring the owner's ID card. Additionally, they must carry the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form", the agent's identity proof, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license, among other documents. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to go through the change registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is required, and the change must be registered within 10 days after the vehicle's color is altered. Precautions for changing the color of a vehicle wrap: Before preparing to change the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine if the region allows changing the vehicle's color using a wrap. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle's color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for change registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without following the prescribed change registration procedures, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
