When driving at night, the position lights need to be kept on. Here are the precautions for using car lights: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights and turns left, the turn signal should be turned on, and the low beam should be used when driving at night. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, the high beam should not be used. When a motor vehicle passes through a sharp curve, slope, arch bridge, crosswalk, or an intersection without traffic light control at night, it should alternately use the high and low beams to signal. High and low beams: Both are used for nighttime illumination. The high beam can improve visibility and expand the field of view. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible range with the high beam on is much larger than with only the low beam on. The low beam is for close-range illumination, with a short irradiation distance and unadjustable focus, covering approximately 30-40 meters. On roads without a centerline: When meeting another vehicle at night, switch to the low beam at least 150 meters away from the oncoming vehicle. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges, use the low beam. If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, obstructing traffic and making it difficult to move, the hazard warning lights should be turned on as required, and a warning sign should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, the position lights and rear position lights should also be turned on simultaneously.

Why does the oil light come on when there is no lack of oil?

Here is an introduction to why the oil light comes on even when there is no lack of oil: 1. Possible faults include: The oil has not yet reached the oil alarm (sensor) at the moment of starting, damage to the oil alarm, loose wiring, or poor operation of the oil pump. 2. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives.

How many months must pass before a transferred vehicle can be exchanged?

The normal processing period for exchanging and transferring an old vehicle is 30 days. More information about vehicle transfer is as follows: 1. Overview: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner, which is an essential procedure in the process of buying and selling used cars. Vehicles involved in accidents, failing annual inspections, being stolen, or being smuggled cannot be transferred through normal procedures. 2. Notes: When a vehicle is relocated from one city to another, the registration process for changing the affiliated vehicle management authority is called transfer of registration. Transfer of registration requires changing the license plate and vehicle license, and the procedures must be completed at two vehicle management authorities, including the transfer-out procedure and the transfer-in procedure.

What Causes Transmission Whining Noise?

Excessive gear meshing clearance in the transmission. When the gear meshing clearance is too large, the driving gear impacts the driven gear during rotation, producing knocking sounds that typically worsen as transmission temperature rises. Conversely, when the meshing clearance is too small, the abnormal noise tends to be continuous - sometimes uniform, sometimes irregular - intensifying with vehicle speed and often causing transmission lubricant overheating. Additional note: Gear noise may also result from damaged gear tooth surfaces, producing irregular yet rhythmic sounds that amplify with throttle input. In severe cases, transmission vibration may be felt.

How to Turn On Low Beam and High Beam?

The switch for high beam and low beam is located on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beam, while the first and third positions are for high beam. The high beam indicator is blue with a straight line shape, while the low beam indicator is green with a downward-sloping line. Both high beam and low beam are part of the headlights, primarily used for nighttime driving illumination. The high beam has a higher angle and longer illumination distance, suitable for poorly lit roads with no streetlights. The low beam has a lower angle and shorter distance, often used on well-lit roads with good visibility. In addition to headlights, the vehicle's lighting system also includes parking lights, brake lights, fog lights, etc., each serving different purposes.

Will tire aging increase tire noise?

Tire aging can indeed increase tire noise. When a vehicle is in motion, tire noise is generated, which is determined by the interaction between the tire and the road surface. Severe wear on the tire tread can amplify the vibration noise of the tire. Factors such as road roughness, road structure, road material, tire pressure, and tire size are all significant contributors to tire noise levels. The specific factors are as follows: 1. Road structure: Friction and vibration occur when the tire tread meets the road surface. 2. Tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure affects tire noise, which is also why new cars may have louder tire noise. 3. Tire tread pattern design: The design of the tire tread plays a dominant role in tire noise. 4. Tire size directly determines the level of tire noise: Generally, larger tire sizes result in louder tire noise.

What Causes Water Leakage in the Trunk?

Generally, there are two common scenarios that can lead to water leakage in the trunk. The first is a faulty trunk seal strip. To test this, you can use a spray method, but someone must spray water from outside the trunk to observe any leakage. The second, less likely scenario is damage to the negative pressure vent caused by water splashed up by the tires. It's recommended to conduct a thorough inspection. Here are some additional tips: 1. Self-inspection for leakage causes: You can simulate rainwater flowing from the roof using a garden spray bottle to identify potential leakage points. 2. Common leakage causes to check: Inspect whether there are issues with the tail light seals, leaks around the rear windshield rubber strip, cracked seal strips, clogged drainage holes near the seals, or aging and cracked metal panels, among other potential problems.
