The fuel consumption during the break-in period of a new car is generally higher. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It is a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting the obtained values into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model at specified speeds. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated based on repeated tests where the vehicle is driven on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times. It is also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the specifications, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and records the driving conditions according to various indicators such as specified shift times, parking times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration in each cycle. The measured values obtained using this method are closer to actual values.

Which way to turn the steering wheel when parking uphill?

When parking uphill, turn the steering wheel to the left. Precautions for parking on a slope are as follows: 1. Parking position: Before parking, carefully observe the intended parking spot, turn on the turn signal, slowly approach the parking space (not too fast), and pay attention to the situation in front of and behind the car to prevent scraping against people or other vehicles. 2. Parking slope: If the parking spot has a significant slope, after getting out of the car, find a relatively large stone or brick and place it under the wheel to prevent the car from rolling. When placing the stone or brick, for uphill parking, place it behind the wheel; for downhill parking, place it in front of the wheel.

What are the pros and cons of converting a private car to commercial use?

Converting a private car to commercial use has the advantage of earning money by transporting passengers, but the drawbacks include increased insurance costs and mandatory retirement after a certain service period. Many drivers opt to become ride-hailing drivers, often converting their private cars into commercial vehicles. If you are considering converting your private car to commercial use, careful consideration is necessary. Below are the key points: 1. Commercial vehicle insurance does not cover risks such as fire, explosion, or spontaneous combustion, which are included in private car insurance: Commercial vehicle insurance excludes coverage for fire, explosion, or spontaneous combustion risks that are typically covered under private car insurance. Private cars are used for regular driving and do not transport hazardous materials, making such risks relatively low. However, commercial vehicles frequently transport dangerous goods, increasing the likelihood of such incidents during transit and resulting in losses. The probability of these incidents is significantly higher for commercial vehicles, leading insurers to exclude them from coverage. 2. Commercial vehicle insurance payouts are directly linked to the number of claims, unlike private car insurance: Commercial vehicle insurance claims are more complex, primarily to encourage safer driving practices and minimize risks. For instance, if a vehicle is frequently involved in accidents, the compensation paid by the insurer will decrease progressively. Frequent accidents involving commercial vehicles are detrimental to both the vehicle owner and society, often causing losses to others. To reduce the occurrence of such accidents, insurers may lower compensation amounts. Additionally, for vehicles with a high risk of accidents, insurers may increase insurance premiums as a safeguard for their interests.

What is the emission standard for 2017 vehicles?

2017 vehicles comply with the China V emission standard. The so-called China V refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. This standard imposes stricter limits on pollutants emitted by motor vehicles, including nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. The full implementation of the China V standard will significantly reduce vehicle exhaust pollution, achieving the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and green environmental protection. From a national macro perspective, the implementation of the China V standard will inevitably drive automobile manufacturers to upgrade the overall quality of vehicles, which is of great significance for improving the living environment of residents.

How many meters before a sharp curve is parking prohibited when driving a motor vehicle?

Parking is prohibited within 50 meters before a sharp curve when driving a motor vehicle. Below are details regarding parking restrictions: 1. No-parking zones: Parking is not allowed in sections with no-parking signs or markings, between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes, on road sections with isolation facilities between the roadway and sidewalks, at pedestrian crossings, or in construction areas. 2. Roadside parking: Vehicles must park closely to the right side of the road. The driver must not leave the vehicle and should depart immediately after passengers alight/board or goods are loaded/unloaded. City buses are prohibited from stopping to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated bus stops.

Can ETC be installed at the black dot position?

ETC can be installed at the black dot position, as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view and can detect the toll station's sensing equipment. However, there are also drawbacks to installing it at the black dot area of the windshield—the solar charging capability of the ETC device may weaken, potentially leading to power depletion over time. The working principle of ETC involves dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted ETC electronic tag and the ETC microwave antenna at the toll station lane. This utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees.

What is the maximum speed limit for motor vehicles when turning or making a U-turn?

Motor vehicles must not exceed 30 km/h when turning or making a U-turns. According to Article 46 of the "Road Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations," motor vehicles must adhere to a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h under the following circumstances (with tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special machinery vehicles limited to 15 km/h): 1. When passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, narrow bridges, curves, bridges, tunnels, or sections covered in snow, ice, or mud—speed must not exceed 30 km/h in these areas; 2. When making U-turns, turning, descending steep slopes, encountering visibility below 50 meters, or towing another motor vehicle—the maximum speed must also not exceed 30 km/h.
