In winter, it is recommended to use internal air circulation for heating. There are two methods to operate the air conditioning: First, turn off the AC button, wait until the vehicle starts and the water temperature rises to the normal level, then press the AUTO button on the air conditioning system. Set the temperature to the desired level, and the air conditioning will automatically maintain the set temperature. Here is some relevant information about the car air conditioning's internal and external circulation: 1. Internal circulation, as the name suggests, recirculates the air inside the car. With the doors and windows closed, it only heats the air inside the vehicle, resulting in a faster and more fuel-efficient heating effect. 2. External circulation draws in outside air and expels the air inside the car, keeping the interior air fresh. In winter, when the outside temperature is low, using external circulation will continuously bring in cold air, hindering the rise in temperature inside the car.

Can a five-seater car with six people including a child be driven on the road?

A child also counts as one person. A five-seater car can only accommodate five people. Driving with six people is not allowed on the road, otherwise, you will face fines and penalty points. Below is relevant information about vehicle overloading: Overloading Penalties: Driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding 20% of the approved capacity will result in 12 penalty points at once; driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding 20% of the approved capacity, will result in 6 penalty points at once; driving passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles or school buses exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% will result in 3 penalty points at once. This means that for an ordinary 5-seat sedan, overloading by one person will result in 6 penalty points at once.

Why is the car key not working properly?

Interference sources, dead battery, internal malfunction, or vehicle antenna may cause the key to be unresponsive. Here is a related introduction about car keys: Key principle: First, the car key consists of two parts, a transmitter and a receiver. When the owner presses the button on the car key, the key emits a signal, which is received by the antenna on the top of the car. After authentication by the vehicle body control module, the unlocking or locking action is executed. Solution: Remove all aftermarket devices installed inside the car and then test drive. Replace the key battery and test drive to see if there are any fault symptoms. You can also use the mechanical key to unlock the door and place the smart key on a position with a key symbol inside the car for emergency ignition.

What are the symptoms of slight clutch slippage?

The symptom of clutch slippage is that the vehicle's speed cannot reach the expected level, commonly referred to as "losing rotation." Below are the relevant solutions for clutch slippage: Checking the clutch: Engage the parking brake, also known as the handbrake, then shift the gear lever into a low gear, first or second gear will suffice. Gradually release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing the accelerator pedal. If the vehicle does not move and the engine does not stall, it indicates that the clutch is slipping. Solution: At this point, it is necessary to check the free travel of the clutch pedal. If it does not meet the relevant specifications, adjustments are required. If the free travel is within the normal range, the clutch cover should be removed to inspect whether the clutch cover and connecting bolts are tightly secured. If slippage persists, the clutch must be disassembled to examine the condition of the friction plate. If it is hardened or too thin, replacement is necessary.

Why does tire pressure decrease when a car is left unused for a long time?

It is normal for tire pressure to decrease when a car is left unused for a long time. All tires require periodic inflation, especially those filled with air, as tire pressure fluctuates significantly with temperature changes. As long as the pressure doesn't drop rapidly within a short period, it is considered normal. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and potential alignment issues, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, potentially causing delamination or cord breakage, as well as excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the tire bead and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. This can lead to blowouts during high-speed driving; Increases tire deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and inducing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerate rubber aging, fatigue the cord layers, and break the cords. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, speeding up shoulder wear.

How long is the driver's license usually suspended for hitting someone?

How long a driver's license is suspended for hitting someone depends on the specific circumstances. The following is a relevant introduction to the law: Revocation of driver's license: After the driver's license of a road traffic violator is suspended, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority within 15 days for processing. If they fail to report to the traffic management department of the public security authority without justifiable reasons after the deadline, their motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked. Legal basis: Article 111 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that if a traffic police officer on duty believes that a road traffic violator should be punished with a temporary suspension or revocation of their motor vehicle driver's license, they may first detain the motor vehicle driver's license and transfer the case to the traffic management department of the public security authority for processing within 24 hours.

What is the Small Car Subject Test?

The small car subject test refers to the process by which driving test candidates participate in the four-wheel subject test to obtain a driver's license. The following is a detailed introduction to relevant information: Test Content: The test is divided into Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4, covering road safety laws, regulations, driving norms, traffic signals, and basic knowledge of safe road driving. Notes: Candidates must bring their ID cards and attend the test at the designated time. Each test has two opportunities. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a retake can be taken. If both attempts fail, the test must be rescheduled. However, except for Subject 1, other subjects can only be rescheduled ten days after the test ends.
