The reasons for the continuous illumination of the handbrake light include the handbrake not being fully released and insufficient brake fluid. The details are as follows: Handbrake not fully released: The handbrake is not truly released to its proper position; Insufficient brake fluid: Lack of brake fluid, with the brake fluid level below the safety line; Brake pulling to one side: If the handbrake light is on and accompanied by the vehicle pulling to one side during braking, it may be caused by uneven wear of the brake pads or uneven force distribution of the brake calipers. This situation should be repaired promptly, otherwise it may endanger driving safety. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, functions to provide resistance to the vehicle when parked, preventing it from rolling. It is equivalent to the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locking the drive shaft or rear wheels.

I've been driving the Wuling Sunshine for many years and have encountered the issue of the handbrake light staying on. Common reasons include the handbrake not being fully released or insufficient brake fluid. While driving, the handbrake lever might get stuck a bit, requiring a few extra firm pushes and pulls to release it completely. The brake fluid reservoir is located on the left side of the engine compartment; open the cap to check the fluid level and top it up with new fluid if it's low. Wuling vehicles are prone to sensor aging, especially after high mileage, which can cause the light to stay on due to erratic signals. Wiring aging and short circuits can also be culprits, such as loose or corroded connectors. Driving with the light on can be distracting and may mask other warning lights, like an ABS issue going unnoticed. Once, I drove for nearly two weeks with the light on before fixing it, only to find the brake pads were worn out, costing me hundreds more. So, it's best to check it yourself early or ask a car-savvy friend for help—don't wait until something serious happens. For a cost-effective approach, start with the basics: replace the fluid or clean the connectors to save money and hassle.

Do I need to bring a one-inch photo after passing Subject 4?

For the Subject 4 exam, you only need to bring your ID card; no other items are required. The Subject 4 test paper consists of 50 questions, primarily presented in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the results of the passed subjects will be voided.

What is the fuel consumption of the Accord 10?

The Accord 10 currently has 9 models on sale. Among them, the Accord 2018 Hybrid 2.0L Rui Zun Edition National VI and Rui Zhi Edition National VI, totaling 2 models, are equipped with a 146-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.4L per 100km. The Accord 2018 Hybrid 2.0L Rui Ling Edition National VI and Rui Ku Edition National VI, totaling 2 models, also equipped with a 146-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 4.2L per 100km. The Accord 2018 260TURBO Flagship Edition National VI, Premium Edition National VI, Luxury Edition National VI, and Elite Edition National VI, totaling 4 models, are equipped with a 194-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6L per 100km. The Accord 2018 230TURBO Comfort Edition National VI, totaling 1 model, is equipped with a 177-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same for all Accord 10 models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models with a 146-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48.5/4.4*100=1102km. Models with a 146-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 48.5L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 48.5/4.2*100=1155km. Models with a 194-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 56/6*100=933km. Models with a 177-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 56L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 56/6.4*100=875km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not vaporize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What are the reasons why the Baojun 510's brake cannot be pressed and the engine cannot start?

It may be due to issues with the battery or unsuitable engine oil. The following are detailed explanations of the reasons: Check the battery status: In winter, the difficulty in starting a car is mostly caused by a depleted battery or an expired battery lifespan. Avoid continuous ignition to prevent the battery from being completely drained. When the battery is low on power, the starting speed of the car will be weak, and you will only hear a clicking sound. During ignition, the clicking sound will gradually turn into a hissing sound.
