What does automatic headlight on/off mean?

Automatic headlight on/off refers to vehicles equipped with automatic headlights. When the ambient light dims during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. It can also automatically switch between high and low beams based on the intensity of external light. Below is relevant information: Working principle: When the ambient light dims during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. It is worth mentioning that many people mistakenly believe "automatic headlights" are designed specifically for tunnels, but this is not the case. The activation of automatic headlights has a delay—meaning the headlights will only turn on automatically within a dozen seconds after the light sensor detects dimming. According to traffic regulations, vehicles must turn on their headlights before entering a tunnel, so manual activation is still required when passing through tunnels. Additional information: Components such as photoresistors act as sensors (installed behind the rearview mirror, etc.) and send electronic signals to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, similar to a computer CPU) to instruct whether to turn the headlights on or off or switch between high and low beams. The ECU controls the headlight switch and beam adjustment, so when driving in an environment where light suddenly dims, the headlights will automatically turn on and turn off when sufficient light is detected. Moreover, it can automatically switch between high and low beams based on the intensity of external light.

Can Mainland Vehicles Drive to Hong Kong?

Mainland-licensed vehicles are generally not allowed to enter Hong Kong directly. Below is relevant information: Specific reasons: Because Hong Kong's driver's license is different from that of the mainland. Drivers holding a mainland driver's license can only drive in Hong Kong if they possess a Hong Kong driver's license; otherwise, it is considered illegal driving. Additionally, all vehicles in Hong Kong are left-hand drive, and right-hand drive is not permitted, so mainland vehicles are not allowed to enter Hong Kong. Finally, if it is absolutely necessary to drive from the mainland to Hong Kong, one must obtain a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit, drive a left-hand drive vehicle, and enter Hong Kong through customs from the mainland. Additional information: Moreover, mainland vehicles driving to Hong Kong must invest a certain amount in Hong Kong, or companies with certain assets in the mainland must establish a permanent resident office or institution in Hong Kong. Vehicles purchased by such companies in the mainland can apply to Hong Kong Customs after obtaining a legal license in the mainland, and then the Hong Kong Transport Department will issue a Hong Kong license. Drivers also need to hold a mainland driver's license and a Hong Kong driver's license (those holding a Guangdong driver's license can obtain a Hong Kong driver's license without taking a test) or an international driver's license.

Can You Still Drive If the Car's Air Suspension Is Broken?

You can drive a short distance if the car's air suspension is broken, but it is not recommended to continue driving. At this time, the tires may experience uneven wear, and the wheel hubs will bear uneven forces, leading to unbalanced suspension. This can easily cause damage to other components and may even result in the failure of other intact air suspension parts. Therefore, unless in extreme situations, driving is not advised, and towing is recommended. The air suspension can be activated when encountering extreme road conditions to increase suspension travel—commonly referred to as raising the chassis to improve off-road capability, making it easier for the vehicle to pass through extreme road conditions. Under non-extreme conditions, it is recommended to replace the faulty parts to ensure repair quality.

How to Replace an Air Filter?

Steps to replace an air filter: 1. Open the hood and locate the air filter housing; 2. Remove the old air filter, clean the housing, and wipe both inside and outside of the housing with a clean cloth; 3. Install the new air filter in its original position, paying attention to the correct orientation; 4. Reattach the air filter housing cover. An air filter is a type of filtration device primarily used for air purification in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation rooms. Air filters can be categorized into: 1. Filtration type and centrifugal type; 2. Oil bath type and composite type. An air filter is equipment that captures dust from gas-solid two-phase flow through the action of porous filtration materials, thereby purifying the gas.

Will the insurance company compensate for flood-damaged vehicles?

If a parked vehicle is submerged, the insurance company can provide compensation. For vehicles parked in paid parking lots or garages, you may negotiate with the parking facility. If there is evidence of poor management, you can also request the parking facility to bear part of the loss. Below is relevant information: Compensation details: For a water-damaged vehicle, all damages except engine damage can be covered by commercial vehicle damage insurance. This type of claim is unrelated to compulsory traffic insurance and third-party liability insurance. Engine damage requires additional engine water ingress insurance for compensation. The specific terms of additional insurance vary among different insurance companies, so whether compensation is provided for restarting the engine underwater also differs. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to the insurance company's policy for clarification. Insurance companies: Currently, most insurance companies' special loss insurance for engines (or water ingress insurance) explicitly state that starting the insured vehicle underwater falls within the coverage scope. This means engine damage caused by starting underwater is also covered. Examples include PICC, Ping An, Pacific, Dadi, Life, Sunshine, Huatai, Tianan, and Anbang.

What are the differences between the imported KYMCO 400 and the domestic 400?

Transmission system differences The transmission system of the imported KYMCO 400 is significantly superior to that of the domestic Scooter 400. The imported transmission system has less vibration, more linear acceleration, and much less noticeable low-speed vibration compared to the domestic version, with vibration suppression that rivals Japanese scooters. Here is some relevant information: Other differences: The domestic 400 vibrates particularly heavily below 20-30 km/h and requires frequent cleaning of the transmission system; otherwise, the vibration becomes too noticeable. Comfort differences The imported KYMCO 400 is better designed in terms of ergonomics, materials, comfort, and handling compared to the domestic 400. The domestic 400 falls short in comfort when compared to the imported KYMCO 400. Similarities: Both the imported KYMCO 400 and the domestic 400 use the same engine, a 400cc single-cylinder, water-cooled, 4-valve engine, with a top speed of 160 km/h. The core is the same, with minor differences only in assembly and tuning. Both the imported KYMCO 400 and the domestic 400 use an ultra-lightweight, high-strength cradle frame.
