The principles for handling emergency situations while driving are: remain calm and composed, adhere to the principle of avoiding pedestrians before objects. When a vehicle is traveling at high speed, sudden steering can easily cause the vehicle to skid and collide or overturn due to centrifugal force. Therefore, even if a collision with the vehicle ahead is possible, the driver should first brake to reduce speed, then steer to avoid. Emergency measures for special situations: vehicle collisions mostly occur when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows down or changes direction abruptly, and the extent of damage mainly depends on the impact speed and location. When there is a possibility of a side collision, the first priority is to control the direction, following the direction of the vehicle ahead to transform a side collision into a glancing collision, thereby reducing the severity of damage.

What is the optimal adjustment for the right side mirror?

Adjust the horizon to occupy two-thirds of the right side mirror's view, while keeping one-quarter of the car body visible. Center rearview mirror: The center rearview mirror helps drivers quickly assess rear traffic conditions and maintain safe following distances. Adjust it to be parallel with the horizon, positioned at the center of the mirror surface. Tilt it slightly toward the driver to ensure clear visibility of vehicles directly behind. Left side mirror: Since the left mirror is closer to the driver, blind spots are smaller and the field of view is wider, requiring less adjustment than the right mirror. Similarly, position the horizon at the center of the left mirror while showing one-quarter of the car body. Showing too little of your vehicle makes it hard to see cars close to your rear, while showing too much obscures view of parallel vehicles.

What are the penalties for illegally using the emergency lane?

Parking on the emergency lane or shoulder under non-emergency circumstances will result in a fine and 6 demerit points, which must be paid within 15 days. Motor vehicles are prohibited from the following behaviors when driving on highways: Reversing, driving against the traffic, making U-turns across the central divider or stopping within the lane, overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes, straddling or driving on lane markings or shoulders, driving or parking on the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances, test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle. Under what circumstances can the emergency lane be used: When a passenger in the vehicle suddenly falls ill, when the vehicle experiences a sudden breakdown and cannot operate normally, or when driving a privileged vehicle (such as an ambulance, rescue vehicle, or construction vehicle).

How to Tell if the Car's Undercarriage is Damaged After Being Scraped?

Check for oil leaks or unusual noises. Avoid driving on saline-alkali soil roads: Saline-alkali substances (such as lime) can easily react with metal, corroding the metal components of the vehicle's undercarriage. The vehicle should be driven on other road sections, or the body should be washed as soon as possible after driving on such roads. Avoid driving on gravel roads: When driving on gravel roads, flying stones continuously hit the bottom of the vehicle, damaging the anti-rust coating on the surface of the undercarriage components, reducing the anti-rust capability of the metal parts, shortening their service life, and increasing the owner's maintenance costs. Avoid driving on beaches: Driving off-road on beaches, with wheels splashing sun-reflecting waves, may seem romantic, but prolonged driving in such conditions will cause the vehicle's undercarriage to succumb to saltwater corrosion, leading to rapid rusting.

Why does a newly replaced battery take so long to charge and still not reach full capacity?

It may be caused by improper charging methods, circuit faults, or charger malfunctions. Causes of improper charging methods: The basic requirements of batteries for charging technology are the foundation for analyzing various charging techniques. The basic requirement of electric vehicle batteries for charging is that the charging current should be less than or equal to the current that the battery can receive. Otherwise, excess current will deplete the electrolyte too quickly, leading to the following hazards. Charging process: It is the reverse reaction process of the discharge electrochemical reaction. If the charging electrochemical reaction process proceeds under ideal conditions, this process should be mutually reversible, meaning the amount of electricity charged should be roughly equal to the amount discharged. However, under severe gassing conditions, the effective charging electrochemical reaction consumes less than 40% of the total electricity, resulting in a waste of more than 60% of the electrical energy.

What does automatic application of EPB mean?

It means the vehicle's automatic parking system is already activated. Introduction to EPB: EPB, also known as Electronic Parking Brake system, is an upgrade from the vehicle's traditional parking brake. The original parking brake was operated mechanically, while the electronic parking brake is operated electronically, making it very convenient to use. Advantages of EPB: The EPB system can automatically apply the parking brake after the engine is turned off, providing convenient and reliable parking and preventing accidental release. It replaces the traditional mechanical handbrake with more advanced electronic control technology, avoiding unsafe situations such as forgetting to pull the handbrake when parking or forgetting to release it when starting. It can also be used as a driving brake in emergency situations.

What are the requirements for installing a home charging station?

You need to have a parking space suitable for installing a charging station, obtain approval from the property management, and successfully register with the power bureau. Home charging: If feasible, it can basically meet over 90% of daily commuting needs, thereby alleviating users' range anxiety and promoting the development of new energy vehicles. However, at this stage, the overall installation rate of private charging stations is not high, which requires joint efforts from multiple parties, including ensuring the basic safety and stability of pure electric vehicles themselves. Types of charging stations: Currently, home charging stations are mainly divided into wall-mounted and pole-mounted types. The advantage of wall-mounted stations is that they save space and are cheaper, but they can only be installed on walls where wiring is possible. Although pole-mounted stations occupy relatively more space and are more expensive, they have fewer limitations on installation locations. Therefore, users can choose based on their own installation conditions.
