H4 bulb is a combined high/low beam unit. The H4 automotive bulb contains two filaments inside, one for the high beam and one for the low beam. Precautions for using high and low beams are as follows: Usage of low beam: When driving at dusk when it's getting dark or at dawn when light is just appearing, you must turn on the low beam; in fog, snow, or heavy rain when visibility is obstructed, you must turn on the low beam even during the day; when driving at night on roads with lighting but insufficient brightness, you should turn on the low beam. Usage of high beam: When meeting oncoming vehicles on roads without central barriers or center lines, you cannot use the high beam within 150 meters of the opposite vehicle; when meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow bridges or roads without central barriers or center lines, you cannot use the high beam; when passing through signal-controlled intersections, you cannot use the high beam while turning.

The control line (yellow dotted line) for each item represents the examination area for that item. Once the front of the vehicle crosses the control line, it means you have entered the examination for that item and must complete the test according to its rules; before proceeding to the next test item, always check if there is a vehicle ahead still undergoing the test.

What are the precautions for children riding in a car?

When children ride in a car, attention should be paid to seating positions and the duration of stay in the car. Below are specific details: Absolutely prohibit placing children randomly on car seats: Because during sudden braking or turning, parents cannot control their own bodies and will crash forward or sideways just like the baby. Absolutely prohibit parents holding children while riding in a car: Because during sudden braking, the parent's large body can crush the baby from behind. Avoid children sitting in the front passenger seat: Not only because the front passenger seat is the most unsafe position in the car, but also because the baby's small stature means that in an emergency when the airbag deploys, it will not protect the baby but instead may injure the baby's head. Avoid leaving children in the car for long periods: This is because in summer, babies may suffer from dehydration or suffocation due to the stuffy heat inside the car. Do not let children use adult seat belts: Although seat belts are the most powerful weapon for preventing danger, they are designed for adults and are not suitable for a baby's body shape. If the seat belt is fastened too tightly, it may cause strangulation to the baby's neck or compression injuries to the waist during a car accident; if it is too loose, it will not provide any protection.

Can Scratched Mercedes Wheel Rims Be Repaired?

Scratched Mercedes wheel rims can be repaired. There are two scenarios for wheel rim scratch repair: minor scratches or abrasions on the rim, and severe damage to the tire. Minor scratches or abrasions on the rim, as well as more severe and deeper scratches, can generally be repaired. Below are the detailed steps: Minor Rim Scratches: The wheel rim needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned. During cleaning, all oil stains on the rim surface must be completely wiped off; otherwise, it will directly affect the paint repair effect later. Use specialized rim sandpaper, wet it, and start sanding the scratched area until it becomes very smooth. For particularly severe scratches, rough sanding is done first, followed by applying body filler to fill the gaps. This usually requires multiple applications to fill properly. After filling, thoroughly sand the area clean with wet sandpaper. Proceed directly to painting. For localized touch-ups, use newspaper or specialized paint cloth to protect other areas. Once protected, proceed with normal painting, followed by oil treatment after painting. Severe Rim Damage: If the rim is severely damaged, with obvious cracks or deformation, the rim cannot be used further and must be replaced with a brand-new one.

What is the recommended mileage for the third maintenance of a new car?

The third maintenance for a vehicle is generally recommended at around 18,000 kilometers. This typically includes replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. Additional maintenance items may be required depending on the specific condition of the vehicle. Different vehicles have varying maintenance intervals and requirements, so it's best to follow the recommendations provided by the authorized dealership. Tips for vehicle maintenance: When the maintenance indicator light illuminates on the dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle requires servicing. Routine maintenance involves changing the engine oil and other fluids, replacing the oil filter and air filter, as well as replacing certain wear-and-tear rubber components and gradually deteriorating parts. In addition to these replacements, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle should also be conducted. The purpose of vehicle maintenance: To maintain the vehicle's appearance and ensure its technical condition remains optimal, to identify and eliminate potential issues, to prevent malfunctions, to slow down the deterioration process, and to extend the vehicle's service life. It is recommended to perform a thorough cleaning and maintenance every 50,000 kilometers, or whenever the ABS system responds too early or too late. This process removes harmful sludge and varnish deposits from the system, eliminates the risk of operational failure under extreme temperatures, effectively prevents brake fluid from deteriorating or expiring, and ensures complete replacement of old brake fluid.

Does Buick Engine Oil Leakage Have Any Impact?

Buick engine oil leakage does have an impact. The main effect of engine oil leakage is the loss of engine oil, resulting in waste. In severe cases, it can lead to insufficient oil levels, which may cause engine damage. The damage is not directly caused by the leakage itself, but rather by the insufficient oil pressure resulting from the leakage. Therefore, it is crucial to closely monitor the oil level. Since most vehicles are equipped with an oil level display, it prevents the oil level from dropping below the normal range unnoticed. Additionally, there is a warning light to alert you when the oil pressure is insufficient. Precautions for engine oil leakage: When you notice oil leakage, first check the severity of the leakage. If it is not severe and only a slight seepage, there is no need to worry too much. You can simply clean the engine during car washing. However, if the leakage is more noticeable, it is often caused by aging or damaged seals. In such cases, you need to identify the leakage point and replace the faulty components. When driving a manual transmission car, pay attention to the shifting process and shift gears promptly. If the engine reaches 2,000 RPM while still in first gear, it will definitely have an impact. Therefore, it is essential to shift gears in a timely manner, which will reduce the engine speed and lower the pressure, ultimately saving fuel.

What does it mean when the Honda ECO light is on?

When the ECO light on the vehicle's dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the car has entered the economy mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. ECO mode is categorized into active and passive types, with the difference being that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light illuminates, it serves only as a reminder function. The ECO system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles use the active ECO driving mode, which has its own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, you can activate the ECO mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO mode but also affect the vehicle's power. In addition, the ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate.
