The precautions for vehicle safety in spring are as follows: 1. Pay attention to food hygiene: Due to the high mobility of driving work, it is important to choose clean and hygienic restaurants when dining to prevent infectious diseases. 2. Get adequate rest: Ensure sufficient sleep to stay energetic and focused, enabling safe driving. 3. Maintain a safe distance: While driving, keep sufficient longitudinal and lateral safety distances, always be aware of the movements of vehicles and pedestrians, and avoid driving too close to the vehicle in front or side by side to prevent rear-end collisions and side-swipe accidents.

Spring is a great season for driving, but safety must come first. With considerable experience, I’ve noticed that spring weather is highly unpredictable, especially after rain when roads become as slippery as oil, making vehicles prone to skidding. Therefore, I always check tire pressure and tread depth before heading out to ensure sufficient grip. With frequent wind and rain, I also clean the wiper blades to prevent blurred vision from rainwater, which can be hazardous. As for driver condition, spring fatigue is a silent killer. I make it a habit to wake up early, stretch, and have a cup of coffee to stay alert before driving. On long trips, I take breaks at rest stops every two hours. Additionally, spring brings more outdoor activities—cyclists and pedestrians increase, so I slow down near parks or school zones, maintaining a safe distance. Regular checks on headlights are crucial to ensure visibility during dim evening hours. I also keep an emergency kit in the car, including a warning triangle and phone charger, in case of unexpected breakdowns. My mantra: prevention is key—don’t wait for an accident to regret negligence.

How to Use Car Rearview Mirrors?

Here are the methods for using car rearview mirrors: 1. Observe the rear road conditions: When driving in China, you often need to change lanes left or right based on road conditions. Before changing lanes, signal in advance, then observe the situation of vehicles behind through the interior rearview mirror to ensure safety before changing lanes. 2. Check the rearview mirror during emergency braking: When there is an urgent situation ahead requiring sudden braking, observing the central rearview mirror can inform you if there is a vehicle following too closely behind. This allows you to adjust the braking intensity appropriately based on the distance ahead to avoid rear-end collisions. 3. Judge the distance to the vehicle behind: The central rearview mirror can help determine the distance to the vehicle behind. When you can just see the front wheels of the vehicle behind in the central rearview mirror, the distance is about 13 meters. When you see the front grille, the distance is about 6 meters. When the front grille is just out of sight, the distance is approximately 4 meters.

What License Plate Can a Hybrid Vehicle Get?

To determine the type of license plate a hybrid vehicle can obtain, follow these steps: 1. First, identify the type of hybrid vehicle. Currently, common hybrid vehicles are divided into three categories: plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), extended-range hybrid electric vehicles (EREVs), and conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). 2. Among these, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and extended-range hybrid electric vehicles are considered new energy vehicles and are eligible for new energy vehicle license plates. 3. Conventional hybrid electric vehicles are technically classified as energy-efficient vehicles, similar to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, and thus require standard motor vehicle license plates. Below are some considerations for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: 1. Due to the design of pure electric vehicles, using the air conditioning for heating in winter consumes a significant amount of electricity. Additionally, the slow heating process and its impact on range are notable drawbacks. 2. For plug-in hybrid models, the engine and motor operate as relatively independent systems. In winter, there is no need to worry about range limitations. You can use the engine-driven mode, where the engine powers the transmission to drive the vehicle. During this process, the engine's coolant can be used for heating, eliminating the range anxiety associated with pure electric vehicles during winter travel.

What maintenance items are required for a vehicle at 40,000 kilometers?

Here is a detailed introduction to the maintenance items for a vehicle at 40,000 kilometers: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement. This primarily targets the lubrication system, whose main function is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the oil, ensuring the lubrication system operates normally. The oil filter should be replaced along with the oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car requires maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The fuel filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, components such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, the battery, throttle body, fuel injectors, and brake pads are all part of the inspection items during routine maintenance, with maintenance and servicing performed as needed based on usage conditions.

What is the fuel consumption of the Haval F7?

The official combined fuel consumption of the Haval F7 is 6.6-7.8L/100km. Currently, there are 8 models of the Haval F7 on sale. The combined fuel consumption for the two-wheel drive i-Type, two-wheel drive i-Beauty, two-wheel drive i-Tide, two-wheel drive i-Shine, and two-wheel drive i-Cool is 6.6L/100km. The combined fuel consumption for the two-wheel drive i-Model and two-wheel drive i-Dynamic is 7.1L/100km. The combined fuel consumption for the four-wheel drive i-Joy is 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-8.4L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: While driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during operation, thereby making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle inspection: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance, which in turn increases the resistance on the car, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.

What to Do If the First Car Maintenance Is Overdue?

If the first maintenance time has passed and the first maintenance has not been carried out, it is recommended that car owners go to the 4S store immediately for the first maintenance. The following is an introduction to the first car maintenance: 1. Introduction: The first car maintenance is the first mandatory maintenance after the new car leaves the factory. In China, except for imported models, the first maintenance of domestic and joint venture models is basically free, and the oil change is free of charge. 2. First maintenance items: The first maintenance is to replace the engine oil and oil filter. While replacing the engine oil and oil filter, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle will be carried out, including all vehicle lights, the level of all vehicle fluids, whether all vehicle electrical systems are functioning normally, tire inspection and pressure adjustment, whether all chassis components are normal, whether the engine and transmission are leaking oil, and whether they are working normally. A professional diagnostic device will be used to perform a computer inspection of the entire vehicle and reset the maintenance reminder. The maintenance and upkeep of the vehicle throughout its life cycle can greatly increase the overall life of the vehicle if done on time. 3. Other items: A few vehicles may also need to replace the transmission oil and differential oil and other fluids during the first maintenance. The specific requirements should be based on the maintenance manual. Different brand models may have different requirements, but most of them require the first maintenance at 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Some brand models may require the first maintenance at around 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers.
