The reasons for a cigarette lighter not having power are: 1. Long-term use with frequent plugging and unplugging, leading to loosening of the contact springs; 2. Repeated plugging and unplugging and improper use causing a short circuit, which burns out the fuse. The method for using a cigarette lighter is: 1. Insert the cigarette lighter into the car's power socket; 2. Press it down firmly until the heating element reaches the required temperature, and it will pop out automatically; 3. After use, return the cigarette lighter to the power socket. Precautions for using a cigarette lighter include: 1. The cigarette lighter has a dedicated power line connected to it and should not be mixed with other circuits; 2. It should be inserted and removed vertically, without shaking; 3. Avoid using electrical devices with excessive power on the cigarette lighter; 4. After lighting a cigarette, the lighter should be reinserted into the socket; 5. External devices should be promptly unplugged after parking.

What is the safe distance between vehicles on urban roads?

There is no absolute standard for the correct following distance on urban roads according to traffic laws, only dynamic standards. The safe distance between vehicles does not have an absolute standard, only dynamic standards. The most direct and important factor affecting the safe distance is speed. When driving at speeds above 100km/h on highways, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. Reference speeds: When driving at speeds above 100km/h on highways, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. When driving at speeds above 60km/h on fast roads, the safe distance in meters should be equal to the speed in km/h. When driving at medium speeds around 50km/h, Three-second interval: At a speed of 36km/h, which is 10 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 30 meters; at a speed of 72km/h, which is 20 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 60 meters; at a speed of 108km/h, which is 30 meters per second, the distance covered in three seconds is 90 meters.

What does maintaining the steering wheel lock mean?

Maintaining the steering wheel lock means: it could be due to the installation of an automatic window-closing feature when locking the car, which triggers this prompt. It might also indicate that the steering wheel is locked or there is an abnormality in the steering system. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Principle: The principle of the car steering wheel automatic locking is that after the car is parked and the key is removed, when the steering wheel is no longer under any control, a slight movement will cause the lock inside the steering wheel to pop out, blocking or jamming the central rotating shaft of the steering wheel, rendering it immovable. Unlocking is required to use it again. 2. Key-ignition vehicles: For vehicles that use a key to start, if the key position is below the steering wheel, the key controls the steering wheel lock. Insert the key, gently wiggle the steering wheel, and then turn the key to unlock it. 3. Auto start-stop vehicles: For vehicles with auto start-stop, gently wiggle the steering wheel after starting the engine to unlock it. Alternatively, when the key enters the cabin, gently wiggle the steering wheel until the lock loosens to unlock it.

How many meters away should a vehicle breakdown warning be placed?

Warning signs for vehicle breakdowns should be placed between 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. Road safety regulations stipulate: 1. When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to stop to fix the issue: the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic. 2. For vehicles that are difficult to move: hazard warning lights should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, call the police promptly. Here are some additional details: The maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour in the following situations: 1. When entering or exiting a non-motorized lane, passing through a railway crossing, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; 2. When making a U-turn, turning, or descending a steep slope; 3. In fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters; 4. When driving on icy or muddy roads; 5. When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle.

What Causes Heavy Gear Shifting in the Transmission?

Reasons for heavy gear shifting in a car: Old transmission oil with reduced lubrication effectiveness—recommend replacing the transmission oil; transmission components not yet optimally broken in—normal operation will resume after proper break-in; cold temperatures causing suboptimal viscosity of gear oil in the transmission—recommend using the correct winter-grade transmission oil. Correct method for starting a car: First turn the key to the power-on position to activate the vehicle's electrical systems, allowing the self-check system to initiate and complete relevant procedures—this is most critical. Simultaneously, this allows fluid levels in the car to return to normal values. Wait one or two minutes after the self-check completes before igniting the engine. Correct method for gear shifting: When parking, automatic transmissions are typically shifted into P (Park). Some owners directly start the engine and then shift from P through multiple gears straight to D (Drive), which frequently subjects transmission components to impact. The correct approach is: Most automatic transmission gear sequences follow "P, R, N, D" in this order.

Can temporary license plates still be used after the official ones arrive?

No. After a new vehicle receives its official license plates, the temporary plates become invalid regardless of whether their expiration date has passed. Failure to promptly display the newly issued license plates may result in a 12-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine. The official plates should be displayed immediately upon receipt. Additional information: Temporary license plates have time and regional restrictions. They can be applied for at the local vehicle management office under any of the following circumstances: 1. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary plates must be obtained from the vehicle management office at the purchase location; 2. When transferring vehicle registration and the official plates have been surrendered, temporary plates must be obtained from the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. When a new vehicle without official plates in the local area needs to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary plates must be obtained locally, and after modifications are completed, temporary plates must be obtained at the modification location to drive back to the original area; 4. When a vehicle purchased locally needs to be driven to another location, temporary plates must be obtained locally for the trip; the same applies in reverse. 5. When the vehicle registration is not yet finalized and a temporary trial is needed.

What is the motor power of the Changan Benben EV?

The motor power of the Changan Benben EV is 30kW and 55kW, with two different powertrain models: the EC260 and the EC360. The Changan Benben EV is a single-motor vehicle, and its motor is front-mounted, making it front-wheel drive. For microcars, there is insufficient space at the rear to install complex independent suspensions, so microcars typically use a torsion beam for the rear suspension. The torsion beam suspension is a common type of non-independent suspension, known for its simple structure, compact size, and minimal space requirements.
