The low beam is turned up. Below are specific details about the low beam of motor vehicles: 1. Usage: The high beam of a car is generally suitable for use when driving at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, such as on dimly lit national highways or expressways. In urban areas where lighting is good, the low beam must be used. 2. Relevant lighting regulations: When driving at night without streetlights and under poor lighting conditions, turn on the high beam; when following another vehicle closely in the same direction at night, turn on the low beam; when passing over an arch bridge or a crosswalk at night, alternate between low and high beams; when passing through an intersection without traffic signals at night, alternate between low and high beams; when navigating sharp curves or slopes at night, flash the low and high beams twice consecutively; when driving in foggy conditions, turn on the small lights, fog lights, and hazard lights.

Does the dash cam consume power when it's always on?

The dash cam does consume power when it's always on, but the power consumption is minimal. In fact, when the vehicle is parked, the dash cam enters a dormant state. It only activates to record for 5 to 10 seconds when it detects vibration from the vehicle, then returns to the dormant state, resulting in very low power consumption. Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and aftermarket in-dash DVD dash cams. Portable dash cams can be further classified into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams, which are characterized by their discreet appearance, easy installation, detachability, and simple operation. Aftermarket in-dash DVD dash cams are usually vehicle-specific and can be divided into front-installed and rear-installed types. Installing these dash cams is more challenging, but they help maintain the aesthetic appeal of the car's interior. Additionally, some luxury models come with pre-installed dash cams from the factory.

What is the time period for free expressway travel during Mid-Autumn Festival?

The free expressway travel period during Mid-Autumn Festival starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. Below is extended information regarding free expressway travel during Mid-Autumn Festival: 1. Free period: From 00:00 on the first day of the holiday to 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. For ordinary highways, the free period is based on the time when the vehicle passes through the toll booth lane, while for expressways, it is based on the time when the vehicle exits the toll booth lane. 2. Eligible vehicles: The free expressway travel applies to passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) that travel on toll roads, including motorcycles allowed on ordinary toll roads. 3. Free scope: The scope of toll roads eligible for free travel on airport expressways across various regions must comply with the "Highway Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads," covering legally approved toll roads (including toll bridges and tunnels).

Can Private Cars Carry Medical Oxygen?

According to regulations, private cars are not allowed to carry oxygen cylinders of any type. Traffic laws stipulate that regardless of the purpose, oxygen cylinders are not permitted in vehicles. If traffic police find them during inspections, fines may be imposed. It is best not to carry them. If there is a genuine urgent need, it is advisable to obtain a certificate from a formal hospital to explain to the traffic police when necessary. Otherwise, this would be considered as carrying hazardous materials. Below is additional information: 1. Introduction to Medical Oxygen Cylinders: Medical oxygen refers to oxygen with a concentration reaching 99.5%, meeting quality requirements. 2. Principle: By opening the oxygen supply switch, the high-pressure oxygen in the cylinder passes through a pressure reducing valve and is finely adjusted via a flow control switch to output the required flow rate. Connecting the oxygen tube, humidifier, oxygen tube, and nasal cannula allows for oxygen delivery.

What is the function of the oil ring?

The function of the oil ring is to scrape off excess oil from the cylinder wall and spread a uniform oil film on the cylinder wall. This prevents oil from entering the combustion chamber and reduces wear between the piston, piston rings, and cylinder wall. The oil ring is a type of piston ring, divided into two types: conventional oil rings and composite oil rings. The conventional oil ring is typically made of alloy cast iron, with a groove in the middle of its outer surface and many small oil drainage holes or slits at the bottom of the groove. The composite ring consists of upper and lower scraper rings and an expander that provides radial and axial tension. The scraper rings of this type are very thin, exert high specific pressure on the cylinder wall, and have strong oil-scraping capabilities. The upper and lower scraper rings operate independently, offering good adaptability to the cylinder, with low mass and large oil return passages.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound When Charging a New Energy Vehicle?

New energy vehicles may produce a buzzing sound during charging due to the following reasons: Dust accumulation in the charging system: Over time, dust can accumulate in the charging system, leading to louder noises. During charging, new energy vehicles generate static electricity, which attracts dust from the environment onto the charging system. This can impair heat dissipation, causing the temperature to spike immediately when the charging gun is plugged in, and the fan to operate at maximum speed continuously. Heat from current and voltage conversion components: The buzzing sound can also be caused by heat generated from components converting current and voltage, which triggers the cooling fan in the electronic control system. This is a normal phenomenon. If the ambient temperature is low and heat dissipation is efficient, the fan may not start or operate at a low speed. However, if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the fan will start running, and if it surpasses 50 degrees, the fan will operate at high speed, producing a noticeable buzzing sound that the owner can hear.

Does a car need a break-in period?

Yes, a car needs a break-in period, which typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. This ensures that the mechanical components fully contact, friction, adapt, and settle. Break-in requirements: 1. Maintain smooth starts, avoid sudden acceleration, and do not let the engine RPM exceed 3,000; 2. Before starting, ensure the coolant temperature reaches at least 50°C, start in a low gear, and shift to a higher gear after 1 kilometer. Keep the coolant temperature between 80°C and 90°C while driving; 3. Shift gears promptly during driving, avoid prolonged use of a single gear, and do not drive at low speeds in high gears or at high speeds in low gears; 4. Avoid overloading the vehicle, especially during the break-in period—the lighter the load, the better. Heavy loads can damage the car; 5. Choose good road conditions to avoid excessive vibrations, impacts, or emergency braking. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear-resistant additives; 6. Avoid driving for excessively long periods.
