Here is an introduction to the self-rescue methods when a motor vehicle accidentally falls into water: 1. When the vehicle door cannot be opened after the motor vehicle accidentally falls into water, the self-rescue method is to break the glass to allow water to enter the cabin. This balances the pressure inside and outside the cabin, making it easier to open the driver's door. Once the door is opened, you can enter the water and easily swim to the surface, avoiding danger. 2. When a motor vehicle accidentally falls into water, the water pressure is greater than the air pressure inside the cabin. Therefore, the driver's door cannot be opened. Only when the pressure inside and outside the cabin is equal can the door be opened. The only method at this time is to use a hammer to break the glass and allow water to enter. Hence, it is advisable to keep such tools handy in the cabin for emergencies.

What does MR mean?

MR, also known as Mixed Reality, is the product of the fusion and interaction between the real world and the virtual world. In the real world, virtual digital worlds can be seen without any devices. In various sci-fi movies, we often see virtual projection control panels operated by technicians, which belong to this technology, and the key to this technology is interactivity. MR can be considered a hybrid of VR and AR, i.e., MR = VR * AR, and is referred to as Mixed Reality. It includes both augmented reality and augmented virtuality, referring to the new visual environment created by merging the real and virtual worlds. In this new visual environment, physical and digital objects coexist and interact in real-time. The realization of Mixed Reality (MR) requires an environment where it can interact with various elements of the real world. If everything is virtual, then that's the domain of VR. If the displayed virtual information can only be simply overlaid on real objects, then it's AR. The key point of MR is interaction with the real world and the timely acquisition of information.

How to Properly Apply for a Temporary Vehicle License Plate?

To apply for a temporary license plate, you must have four original documents ready: the owner's ID card, vehicle certification, purchase invoice, and an appointment. With the appointment number and these four original documents, visit the vehicle management office to proceed. Once approved, you can receive the compulsory traffic insurance certificate. The owner can personally bring these four original documents to the vehicle management office to apply, or apply for a temporary license plate online through the vehicle management office website. The application process is as follows: When applying for a temporary license plate, the owner needs to fill out a temporary license plate application form based on their personal information. After completing the form, the staff will provide a number plate, and you can queue for the temporary license plate service according to this number. When it's your turn, proceed to the dedicated window for temporary license plate services. Submit the required documents and the completed temporary license plate application form to the staff. A temporary license plate serves as proof that the vehicle is legally allowed on the road before obtaining the official vehicle license plate issued by the public security traffic police department. Before obtaining the official vehicle license plate, having a temporary license plate allows the vehicle to legally drive on the road, but it's important to note that temporary license plates also have an expiration date.

What is a car GPS?

GPS is an automotive navigation and positioning system. Based on positioning, it can provide the optimal driving route through a multifunctional display. It also has an important anti-theft function. The vehicle GPS navigation system is a radio navigation and positioning system based on 24 global positioning satellites, providing three-dimensional position, three-dimensional speed, and other information worldwide, all-weather. Its built-in GPS antenna receives data signals from at least three of the 24 GPS satellites around the Earth. Combined with the electronic map stored in the car navigation device, the position coordinates determined by the GPS satellite signals are matched with it to determine the exact location of the car on the electronic map, which is commonly known as the positioning function. Another major function of the vehicle GPS is anti-theft, divided into static anti-theft and dynamic tracking. The former refers to when the owner leaves the car, and the parked vehicle is stolen, damaged, or moved, the vehicle will send an alarm to the GPS monitoring center through its own monitoring system and automatically contact the owner's mobile phone or telephone for alarm, etc. The latter can locate and track a stolen vehicle in motion, monitor the vehicle's condition, record the vehicle's trajectory, and even control the vehicle's power and fuel cut-off.

What is the purpose of that button on the automatic transmission?

The button on the automatic transmission gear lever is the gear lock, also known as the lock button. The function of the lock button: The lock button not only prevents the driver from shifting gears by mistake, but also protects the car's transmission. When changing gears, this button must be pressed to shift. The most important reason for setting this button in automatic transmission cars is to prevent the driver from mistakenly shifting gears while driving, thereby protecting the safety of the driver and passengers and avoiding traffic accidents caused by operational errors. This button also protects the car's transmission, preventing damage to the transmission gears during gear changes, and can provide a certain level of protection to the transmission, extending its service life. Gear positions of automatic transmission cars: Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as P, R, N, D, S, and L. Driving an automatic transmission car using only the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D can fully meet the needs of general driving. However, in some special driving environments, the other functional gears may be required. Therefore, if the correct control method is chosen, automatic transmission cars can perform better than manual transmission cars.
