Here are the introductions to vehicle warning lights: 1. Teapot: Engine Oil Warning Light: When illuminated, it indicates the engine oil level and pressure are below standard. Continued driving may cause engine lubrication failure and severe wear. If the light remains on after adding oil, do not start the vehicle and contact roadside assistance immediately. 2. Thermometer: Coolant Temperature Warning: This light displays the temperature of the engine coolant. 3. Irregular Square: Check Engine Light: This yellow indicator shows the engine's operational status. It illuminates during ignition self-check and should turn off after starting. If it stays on, the engine system may have a malfunction. 4. Exclamation Mark: Brake System Warning Light: First check if the parking brake is fully released. If the light persists, inspect brake fluid level or pad thickness. Drive cautiously to the nearest repair shop if braking power remains normal. 5. Big and Small Circles: Power Steering Warning Light: Indicates power steering system failure, which may significantly reduce or eliminate steering assistance, creating driving hazards. 6. Door/Hood Ajar Warning: Driving with unsecured doors/hood may cause them to open unexpectedly due to wind force. 7. Bracket Exclamation Mark: Tire Pressure Warning: Signals low tire pressure or possible puncture. Inspect tires immediately. 8. Large Square: Battery Warning Light: This yellow indicator should turn off after self-check. Continuous illumination indicates battery issues that may prevent engine start. 9. ABS Warning Light: This yellow light should illuminate during self-check. If it doesn't light up or stays on, the ABS system may be faulty. 10. Electronic Stability Control: When continuously illuminated, it indicates the system is turned off; when off, the system is active.

Is the Expressway Not Free During Mid-Autumn Festival?

The toll issue of the expressway during Mid-Autumn Festival is specifically introduced as follows: Expressway toll during Mid-Autumn Festival: The expressway is not free during Mid-Autumn Festival. Conditions for expressway toll exemption: Currently, expressway toll exemption only applies to major holidays, and there are certain requirements for vehicles, which means only small cars with seven seats or fewer, i.e., the policy for private cars. Of course, commercial vehicles are still subject to tolls. Vehicles that meet the requirements are exempt from tolls nationwide during these holidays. The holiday period starts at 00:00 on the first day and ends at 24:00 on the last day, which is common knowledge. So, if you enter the expressway before the holiday and exit during the holiday period, it is free. In other words, the standard for expressway toll exemption is that as long as you exit the expressway during this period, it is free, regardless of when you entered the expressway.

Is the BMW 320 Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?

The BMW 3 Series is front-engine, rear-wheel drive. Here are some relevant details: 1. The domestically introduced BMW and Toyota Reiz production models have made front-engine, rear-wheel drive premium sedans highly sought after and market-focused. Due to the high cost of front-engine, rear-wheel drive configurations, only some high-end luxury sedans still adopt this more traditional drivetrain layout in pursuit of driving performance. 2. Front-engine, rear-wheel drive sedans, with their performance characteristics, especially their advantages in sporty driving, have consistently occupied the high-end market both domestically and internationally. These products are characterized by their premium pricing, with their competitive advantage lying in their ability to meet the personalized demands of certain consumer groups. 3. Advantages of front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicles: When starting, accelerating, or climbing hills on well-paved roads, the load on the drive wheels increases (i.e., the adhesion pressure on the drive wheels increases), resulting in superior traction performance compared to front-engine, front-wheel drive configurations.

Do You Need to Turn on the AC in a Car?

When turning on the cold air in a car, you need to press the AC button, but when turning on the warm air, you do not need to press the AC button. This is because the AC button represents the air conditioning compressor, which is only used when the cold air is on. Below is an introduction to car air conditioning: 1. The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car air conditioning, adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to an optimal state. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing an important role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Car air conditioning generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally. 3. Different types of air conditioning systems have different arrangements. Currently, integrated heating and cooling air conditioning systems are widely used in cars. The arrangement involves assembling the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, known as the air conditioning unit assembly.

When Does the Car Fan Turn On?

The radiator fan in a car operates based on the coolant temperature, typically activating when the temperature reaches around 80-90 degrees Celsius. The reasons why a car radiator fan may not turn on are as follows: 1. Whether the coolant temperature meets the requirement: With the continuous advancement of automobiles, many car radiator fans now operate electronically based on temperature control. During driving, the radiator fan will only turn on when the coolant reaches the required temperature. If the coolant temperature in the radiator does not meet the requirement, the fan will not operate, indicating that the fan is not faulty but that the coolant temperature needs to be checked. 2. Relay failure: If inspection shows that the coolant temperature has reached the threshold for the fan to operate, but the engine's radiator fan still does not work, it may be due to a faulty relay. A malfunctioning relay cannot transmit signals, preventing the radiator fan from operating. 3. Thermostat switch issue: If all the above components are confirmed to be functioning properly, the thermostat switch should be inspected. A faulty thermostat switch can also disrupt the normal operation of the radiator fan.

What is the Difference Between Parking Lights and Brake Lights?

Parking lights and brake lights differ in brightness, power consumption, wattage, and function. The specific details are as follows: Brightness: Brake lights are brighter than parking lights. Additionally, parking lights and brake lights do not use the same bulb. Brake lights have a larger surface area and stronger light penetration, similar to fog lights. Power Consumption: Parking lights consume very little power (not the same as the light setting before turning on the headlights). They illuminate during nighttime parking to prevent other moving objects from colliding with the car and require manual activation. The method to activate parking lights varies by car manufacturer. Wattage: Brake lights have high wattage and are red in color. They only illuminate when the vehicle is braking and are controlled either by linkage with the brake pedal or automatically by braking force. Function: Parking lights serve as warning lights under conditions where the car is equipped with them. They provide a safety reminder to the surrounding environment, such as other vehicles and pedestrians, when temporarily parked and the engine is off, to indicate the car's position.
