Here are the symptoms of severe malfunctions in the Insight Hybrid: 1. Uneven tire wear (inner edge wear): This issue primarily stems from improper suspension calibration in the Insight. After just a few days of driving, the inner edges of the tires show significantly more wear than the outer edges. This problem also causes the vehicle to pull to one side, though it typically resolves after a wheel alignment. 2. Steering hesitation: This issue has similar complaint rates to the uneven tire wear problem and represents another common Insight malfunction. Some owners report inconsistent power steering assistance during turns, resulting in non-smooth steering wheel operation. Additionally, some Insights exhibit abnormal steering noises, mainly caused by damaged steering gear. 3. Sudden loss of engine power: Currently available Insights are all 2019 models. In August 2019, Dongfeng Honda recalled the Insight due to instances of sudden speed loss at highway speeds - the same issue affecting the Accord at that time. However, this problem predominantly occurred in pure gasoline models, with hybrid versions being less affected.

Does the Santana have an automatic transmission?

The Santana is available with an automatic transmission. Below is an introduction to the Santana: 1. Overview: The Santana dates back to 1973. After the first-generation Passat (Passat-B1) was produced by West Germany's Volkswagen at that time, various issues encountered by users during operation were presented to designers and engineers. 2. Body Side: The body side of the new Santana doesn't have many highlights, featuring a relatively simple overall design without exaggerated lines. The waistline running from front to rear gives the car a very dynamic shape. 3. Design: The front grille has three chrome horizontal bars, making it resemble the Passat more than the Lavida. The lower air intake does not adopt the separate area design like the Lavida and is painted in the same color as the body. The only drawback is the lack of chrome decoration, which makes it look slightly monotonous.

Can you sit in the driver's seat without starting the car after drinking?

It is not considered drunk driving if you sit in the driver's seat without starting the vehicle after drinking. Criteria for determining drunk driving: Determining drunk driving depends on the blood alcohol content, which is related to the amount of alcohol consumed and the body's ability to metabolize alcohol. According to relevant regulations, a blood alcohol content of 20mg/100ml or higher is considered drunk driving, while 80mg/100ml or higher is considered driving under severe intoxication. Breathalyzer tests are not included in the determination of severe intoxication. Following the standards for criminal evidence collection, drivers suspected of severe intoxication must undergo blood tests for evidence. The data from alcohol monitoring devices used in drunk driving checks are only preliminary methods for traffic police to assess severe intoxication. A conclusive determination is made by comparing the suspect's blood alcohol content. Penalties: The penalty includes a 6-month suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license and a fine.

What is the maximum speed limit in snowy and icy weather?

The maximum driving speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Here is some relevant knowledge about driving in snowy and icy weather: Longer braking distance: It's important to note that the vehicle's braking distance will be extended. Snowy and icy road surfaces differ from normal road surfaces as they reduce tire friction and adhesion. When driving on snowy or icy roads, always make judgments in advance and leave sufficient braking distance. Switching to snow tires: Whether to change to snow tires when driving in winter depends on the region. In northeastern areas, it's necessary to switch to snow tires because of the lower temperatures. Using all-season tires on snowy and icy roads may cause skidding, and in severe cases, the vehicle might not move at all. For vehicles in southern regions, changing to snow tires in winter is less common since snowfall is rare.

Is it dangerous to drive away without turning off the engine while refueling?

It's not a big deal. Not turning off the engine while refueling poses risks, but once refueling is completed, there's no issue. Turn off the engine when refueling: The main risk of not turning off the engine while refueling comes from the high temperature generated by the running engine. High temperatures accelerate fuel evaporation, and during refueling, fuel vapor mixes with air to form a combustible gas, which can ignite and cause an explosion with just a spark. Do not use mobile phones while refueling: The threat of using a mobile phone while refueling lies in the electromagnetic radiation from the phone. If it encounters charged particles, it can generate sparks, igniting the fuel vapor. Although the probability of this happening is extremely low, since it's a regulation, it indicates that the danger certainly exists.
