The reasons for the dashboard camera screen not lighting up include the dashboard camera running out of power, loose connection cables of the dashboard camera, or a damaged camera. Dashboard camera running out of power: If the dashboard camera is out of power, its screen naturally won't light up. If the dashboard camera uses a built-in battery, the battery needs to be charged. Solution: If the dashboard camera is powered by the car battery, the car needs to be started. Loose connection cables of the dashboard camera: If the dashboard camera's connection cables are detached or the plug is loose, it will generally cause the dashboard camera to fail to start normally, hence the screen won't light up. Solution: In this case, check the dashboard camera's connection cables and plug, and ensure they are securely connected. Damaged camera: If the camera is damaged or obstructed by foreign objects, it can also affect the dashboard camera's screen not lighting up. Solution: In this case, the camera needs to be inspected.

Recently, I noticed that the dash cam screen suddenly went dark, which is both annoying and a major safety hazard. As a veteran driver who commutes daily, I've encountered similar issues several times. The most common cause is power connection problems: a loose cigarette lighter socket, damaged cable, or blown fuse can all interrupt power supply. Next are setting issues: accidentally pressing the brightness adjustment key to the lowest setting or entering power-saving mode where the screen turns off automatically. There are also hardware failures: the screen itself may be damaged or internal components may have aged, especially after several years of use. Before each inspection, I always start by reinserting the power cable and trying to restart the device; if that doesn't work, I check the manual or connect to the mobile app to adjust settings. Safe driving is no joke—a dark screen might mean the recording isn't working, so I make it a habit to check regularly to prevent trouble.

What does it mean when the car body crosses the line during reverse parking?

When the car body crosses the line during reverse parking, it means that during the driving process, the front or a certain part of the car body exceeds the standard line range. The reasons for the car body crossing the line during reverse parking include the driver being nervous, difficulty in controlling the clutch, releasing the clutch too quickly during the test, forgetting to shift into forward gear, resulting in route errors, forgetting to check the left and right rearview mirrors to adjust the car, incorrect car distance, and failing to readjust the distance. Tips for reverse parking: Learn to adjust the rearview mirrors; when adjusting, lower the mirrors to make it easier to observe the ground markings. Learn to use the rearview mirrors, preferably observing in the car while stationary, checking the distance between the car body and the markings from the mirrors and whether they are parallel. Adjust the seat. The method for adjusting the seat is as follows: after getting into the car, hold the steering wheel lightly with both hands, and the left foot should be able to easily press the clutch pedal all the way down without feeling strained. Both hands should be able to turn the steering wheel easily. After adjustment, use a fist to check the distance between the abdomen and the steering wheel. Adjust the distance between the car body and the side line. Before entering the parking space, the distance between the car body and the roadside line should be between 1.5 meters and 2 meters. If the distance is too small, it may cause the front of the car to cross the line when turning sharply to enter the parking space. If the distance is too large, it may lead to difficulty in entering the parking space or even inability to park. Control the speed well, learn to use the clutch pedal to control the speed; correct the direction after entering the parking space.

Can the Subject 4 Test Be Taken in a Different Location?

Applicants for C1, C2, or C5 driver's licenses can take the Subject 4 test in a different location. Since June 2019, the Ministry of Public Security has implemented a policy allowing the cross-regional testing of different subjects for small vehicle driver's licenses under the "National Unified Examination" framework. Procedure for Applying for a Different Test Location: Applicants who wish to take the Subject 4 test in a different location need to bring their ID card to the local vehicle management office at their current residence to apply for a change of test location. There is no need to return to the original test location, nor is it necessary to submit additional documents such as a residence permit or temporary residence permit. Additionally, the change of test location can only be done once. After the change, all remaining subject tests and the license collection must be completed in the new city. The results of already passed subjects remain valid, and applicants can schedule the remaining tests at their current residence. Once all subject tests are passed, the driver's license can be collected in the current city of residence. Affiliation with a Driving School May Be Required for Cross-Regional Testing: If Subject 2 or Subject 3 has not yet been taken, transferring to a different location generally requires affiliation with a driving school due to the current hourly training requirements. Without meeting the required training hours, scheduling the test may not be possible. If only Subject 4 remains, the vehicle management office will usually arrange for the test at a designated venue. However, some regions may still require affiliation with a driving school or charge additional fees for cross-regional testing, so it is advisable to consult the local vehicle management office for specific details.

Where is the fuse for the Magotan wiper?

The fuse for the Magotan wiper is located on the left side of the engine compartment. Open the hood, and you will find a box on the right side—the fuse is inside. Below are some precautions for using the wiper: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping. 2. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually. These can easily damage the wiper blade, leading to ineffective wiping and potential harm to the wiper motor. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the 'backbone' of the wiper blade and gently return it—do not let it snap back abruptly. 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to clear ice from the windshield before using the wiper to avoid putting extra strain on it.

What is the difference between full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil?

Semi-synthetic oil and full synthetic oil are two classifications of engine oil. The difference between them lies in: full synthetic oil can be used in a wider temperature range and has a longer service life; for the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve this with a lower viscosity, while semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements. Below are the differences between semi-synthetic oil and full synthetic oil: 1. In the same working environment, full synthetic oil can protect the engine with a lower viscosity. In the same working environment, full synthetic oil has a much longer service life than semi-synthetic oil, thus it is more expensive. 2. Compared to semi-synthetic oil, full synthetic oil has the following characteristics: better high and low-temperature performance; longer oil change intervals; and is suitable for more severe vehicle conditions.

What are the differences between sedan classes A, B, C, D, and E?

The difference lies in the different levels and configurations. Class A (including A0/A00) refers to compact cars, Class B refers to mid-size sedans, Class C refers to premium sedans, and Class D refers to luxury sedans. The most common method of classification is based on the wheelbase length. The distance between the two wheels is called: wheelbase, which can be used to determine a car's class. Cars generally come in standard, low, mid, and high trim levels, which respectively refer to: Low trim: Usually means basic configuration, without leather seats or power windows, lacking many electronic control functions; Standard trim: Includes normal electric controls such as power windows, power steering, air conditioning, etc.; Mid trim: Slightly more advanced than standard, including all standard features plus possibly additional airbags, sunroof, leather seats, power seats, seat heating, etc.; High trim: Higher than all the above configurations, can also be considered the flagship version of the model.
