GAC Trumpchi GS4's heating system does not work well because it needs to wait for the car's water tank temperature to rise to a certain level before the engine's preheating can be delivered to the cabin. Non-independent Heating System: The GAC Trumpchi GS4 uses a non-independent heating system. The non-independent heating system, also known as a residual heat heating system, utilizes the residual heat from the car's exhaust or the engine's cooling cycle water as a heat source and introduces it into a heat exchanger. A fan then blows air from inside or outside the car through the heat exchanger to warm it up. This is why some people say that using the heater in winter does not consume extra fuel. Automotive Air Conditioning Heating System: The main function of the automotive air conditioning heating system is to work together with the evaporator to adjust the air to a comfortable temperature for the occupants, providing warmth to the car's interior in winter and improving the internal environment temperature. When the car's windows are frosted or fogged, it can deliver hot air to defrost and defog. There are several forms of heating equipment, which can be divided into non-independent (engine-based) heating systems and independent (non-engine-based) heating systems based on the heat source used.

What are the speed regulations for vehicles at intersections?

When passing through an intersection without traffic signals or speed limit signs, the maximum driving speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. For tractors, electric vehicles, and wheeled special machinery vehicles, the speed should not exceed 15 kilometers per hour. The following practices are recommended for safer passage at intersections: 1. Approaching the intersection: Reduce speed in advance when approaching an intersection, observe the road conditions, and then pass through at a relatively low speed. 2. Nighttime intersections: Switch from high beams to low beams when approaching an intersection at night. 3. Pedestrian movements: Pay attention to pedestrian movements and anticipate their actions in advance. 4. Turning at intersections: If there are heavy vehicles such as dump trucks or trucks on the outer side, smaller vehicles on the inner side should yield, as heavy vehicles have more blind spots.
