When turning on the AC, it is generally recommended to use the recirculation mode. Here is a detailed introduction to the car's recirculation and fresh air modes: 1. Fresh Air Mode: This mode draws air from outside the vehicle, directs it to the air conditioning system for heating or cooling, and then blows it out through the vents. The fresh air mode essentially replenishes the cabin with fresh air, improving the air quality inside. It is particularly useful for defrosting in winter or defogging in summer, as the air drawn from outside has higher oxygen content and is drier, making it more effective for these purposes. 2. Recirculation Mode: This mode draws air from inside the vehicle, creating a circulation of air within the cabin. The primary function of the recirculation mode is to effectively block external dust and harmful gases from entering the car. It helps warm up the car faster in winter, cool down more quickly when the AC is on in summer, and can also be used during smoggy conditions. Essentially, the recirculation mode maintains the cabin temperature more efficiently by circulating the existing air inside the car.

How to Distinguish China's Emission Standards?

China's emission standards can be distinguished in three ways: 1. The simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back; 2. Log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire; 3. Take the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry; 4. For new vehicles, you can check the vehicle's factory certificate. Generally, the vehicle qualification certificate is kept at the vehicle management office, so it is recommended to make a copy when buying a new car for future reference to vehicle-related information. The vehicle's emission standard will directly determine whether the car can be driven on the road, especially when buying a car in a different location. Pay attention to this issue to avoid buying a car in another place and not being able to register it locally. Driving rashly may easily lead to being checked by traffic police.

Is There a Prison Sentence for Causing Death in a Traffic Accident?

The sentencing regulations for causing death in a traffic accident are as follows: 1. Violating transportation management regulations, thereby causing a major accident that results in serious injury, death, or significant damage to public or private property, is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention; 2. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident and causing death due to the escape is punishable by imprisonment of seven years or more. If a person is primarily or wholly responsible for a traffic accident that results in death, they will be held criminally liable for the crime of causing a traffic accident. If the perpetrator actively compensates the victim, the punishment may be appropriately mitigated. Under certain circumstances, such as the absence of other aggravating factors, a good attitude toward admitting guilt, being a first-time offender, or an occasional offender, the court may impose a suspended sentence, in which case imprisonment can be avoided. However, if the circumstances are severe and there are aggravating factors, even with active compensation, a prison sentence may still be imposed.

What lights to use when driving straight through an intersection at night?

When driving straight through an intersection at night, vehicles should alternately switch between high and low beams. Motor vehicles passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night must alternately use high and low beams as a signal. When driving at night with no street lights, poor illumination, or in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles should turn on headlights, position lights, and rear lights, but must not use high beams when following another vehicle. During foggy conditions, motor vehicles must turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers. The fog light control lever is typically located below the left side of the steering wheel, with a length comparable to the steering wheel's radius for easy operation while holding the wheel. It controls the switching between high and low beams, left and right turn signals, light activation, and the turning on/off of front and rear fog lights.
