The basic functions of fuel additives are: 1. To solve the carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles and quickly restore the engine to its optimal working condition. 2. To compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline and endow it with new and superior characteristics (improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, lowering emissions, etc.). Additional information: Fuel additives are high-threshold technical products with relatively high costs and single-bottle prices, making them a hotspot for numerous low-quality and even counterfeit products. Using counterfeit products not only fails to remove carbon deposits and maintain the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Therefore, it is essential to purchase from official channels, such as physical specialty stores, online flagship stores, and authorized 4S shops.

Will running a red light captured by electronic surveillance cameras result in penalty points?

According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a penalty of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line, and continuing to proceed. As per Article 26 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law': Traffic signal lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44 states: Motor vehicles passing through intersections shall proceed according to traffic signal lights, traffic signs, road markings, or the direction of traffic police. Based on the following points, running a red light can be avoided: First, observe the arrow light, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of indicator lights: arrow traffic lights and circular indicator traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, drivers should first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are permitted; when encountering an arrow signal light with a red right-turn arrow, right turns are not allowed. Otherwise, it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake promptly: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross and the rear wheels follow, electronic cameras will capture the violation, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the signal turns red, passage through the intersection is prohibited; wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the countdown on the green light before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, drivers can judge accordingly. If there is no countdown and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, passage is allowed to avoid running a red light due to untimely braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians shall proceed according to the motor vehicle signal lights. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If a violation is captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to such vehicles, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, drivers can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather conditions: When visibility is extremely low, making it difficult even for electronic surveillance to clearly see the traffic lights, the photographic evidence of the violation may be blurry. In such cases of mistakenly running a red light, traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, multiple red lights may be run, quickly exhausting the 12-point penalty limit. After delivering the patient, citizens can present proof provided by the hospital or the person being assisted to the traffic police for verification. Upon confirmation, the violation records can be expunged. If possible, it is advisable to call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers must proceed according to the gestures of the traffic police.

What is the difference between 300-10 and 9090-10 tires?

The differences between 300-10 and 9090-10 tires are: 1. Different representation methods: The 90/90-10 motorcycle tire uses metric representation, while the 3.00-10 tire uses imperial representation. 2. Different tire widths: The 90/90-10 motorcycle tire indicates that the tire section width is 90mm, and the aspect ratio (the ratio of tire sidewall height to tire section width) is 90%, meaning the tire height is 81mm. The 3.00-10 tire has a width of 3 inches, with 1 inch approximately equal to 2.54 cm (25.4mm), so the tire width is 3*25.4=76.2mm.

Why is the D gear flashing in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission car D gear light flashing may indicate issues with the transmission or battery. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. 2. Driving techniques: For manual transmission vehicles, upshifting should be done at higher RPMs. Engines are designed to operate at higher RPMs, with various components' dynamic balance and rotational inertia parameters set accordingly. Prolonged operation at abnormal RPMs increases internal component load and wear, often causing vibration and knocking, which affects lifespan. Selecting 3000 RPM as the upshift point ensures post-shift operation at around 2300 RPM, keeping the engine within its healthy operating range.

What is the engine model of the Inspire?

The engine model used in the Inspire is L15BR, with a maximum horsepower of 194 hp, maximum power of 143 KW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 260 Nm. The Inspire's engine is a Honda-branded engine, produced by Dongfeng Honda in Huangpu District, Guangzhou. For daily maintenance of the Inspire's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
