As a data-driven car reviewer who frequently helps others evaluate vehicles, I've measured the actual dimensions of the 2024 Lavida. The total body length is approximately 4670 mm, with a mirror-excluded width of 1814 mm. When including folded mirrors, the overall width reaches slightly over 2000 mm. These dimensions position it as medium-large among compact sedans, with its 2688 mm wheelbase ensuring decent rear legroom. Practical notes: the relatively wide body requires extra caution in narrow-road encounters, while its approximately 5.6-meter turning radius maintains decent maneuverability for market-area U-turns. The trunk offers 510 liters of standard capacity, sufficient for strollers. With a height of 1474 mm - lower than most SUVs - it navigates height-restricted passages effortlessly.

Does Following Traffic in Congestion Count as Running a Red Light?

Following traffic in congestion does not count as running a red light. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing may continue to pass. However, if the yellow light is already on and a vehicle forcibly continues to pass, being caught in such a situation would be considered running a red light. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic cameras capture three photos as the basis for determining a red light violation: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. How to check for red light violations: Common methods include the following: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in using your ID card, then find and click on the traffic violation handling option. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. Alternatively, you can visit the service halls of the traffic police departments in various cities and districts to check using touch-screen terminals. Another method is to log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities, find the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.

What is the Mercedes ECO mode?

ECO refers to the car's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed from Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and passive Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator on the dashboard lights up, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and passive modes. The difference lies in the fact that the active mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator lights up, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator on the dashboard lights up, it serves merely as a reminder. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator. Most cars employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. During everyday driving, the Eco mode can be activated. However, it is unnecessary to enable Eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not highlight the fuel-saving characteristics of Eco mode and could instead affect the vehicle's power. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to deactivate automatically. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function.

Does driving past the crosswalk at a red light count as running a red light?

If you stop at the crosswalk without continuing to drive, it does not count as running a red light but rather as overstepping the stop line. According to Article 80, Section 2, Subsection 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations": driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights results in a 3-point deduction. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signal lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes a traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act where, when the vehicle is within the stop line and the forward direction is already a red light, the vehicle continues to move forward, and both the front and rear wheels completely cross the stop line. This is determined by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: 1. A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light and license plate number. 2. A photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light and license plate number. 3. A photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in the vehicle's position, including the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: 1. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, the photos of the violation may be blurred. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not result in penalties. 2. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a critically ill patient, they can provide hospital or patient documentation to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. However, it is advisable to call an ambulance if possible to avoid accidents caused by running a red light. 3. Police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow the officers' hand signals. 4. Yielding to emergency vehicles: Giving way to ambulances, fire trucks, or other special vehicles. If caught on camera while yielding, the act of running a red light will not be recorded during manual review. Even if recorded, drivers can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department.

How Many Questions Are There in Subject One of the Driving Test?

The Subject One test for a motor vehicle driver's license consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," each question is worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a test-taker answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject One, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject One test content: Driver's license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and regulations; traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the test—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, locate your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. Failing the retake requires payment to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect and sign your score report—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each subject allows one exam attempt, with one retake if you fail. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the current test session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject Two and Subject Three have only five exam attempts each, with scheduling allowed ten days later. If you fail the Subject Three safe and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test; Subject Three is divided into two parts—road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, the official terminology (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject Four."

Are Car Tires Tubeless?

Car tires are tubeless. Here is some extended information about tubeless tires: Introduction: Tubeless tires are not truly vacuum-sealed. They refer to radial tires without inner tubes, which can be inflated with air or nitrogen. Almost all small vehicles use tubeless tires. Monthly tire pressure check: Tubeless tires typically have an inner liner made of synthetic rubber that seals the compressed air inside the tire (functioning similarly to an inner tube). Under normal circumstances, tubeless tires still experience natural pressure loss, so it's recommended to check the tire pressure at least once a month. For safety, it's also advisable to inspect the tires before long-distance high-speed driving.
