Generally, this is due to a malfunction in the car's instrument panel as a whole, and it is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a repair shop. Below is a related introduction: Function: The instruments in different cars vary. However, conventional car instruments typically include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. Warning Lights: Beneath the surface of modern car instrument panels, various indicator or warning lights are installed, such as the coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light.

Will covering the license plate be captured by electronic police?

It will be captured by electronic police. Deliberately covering the license plate is mainly to avoid being captured by surveillance cameras, which can also prevent being detected by electronic eyes, leading to some violations not being recognized. However, if caught by traffic police, covering the license plate will result in a 12-point deduction, and if there are any violations, corresponding penalties will also apply. Below are relevant details: Relevant penalties: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," for deliberately covering or defacing a motor vehicle license plate, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan, with a 12-point deduction. Reasons like rain or snow: Additionally, for cases where the vehicle body or license plate is covered by mud due to rain, snow, or road conditions, or where the license plate recognition is affected by cargo on a truck, the traffic management authorities will order the party to correct the situation on the spot.

What Causes Shaking After Startup?

Reasons for shaking after startup: 1. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor; 2. Aging engine mounts; 3. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts; 4. Abnormal engine coolant temperature; 5. Low engine cylinder pressure. Engine maintenance tips: 1. If the vehicle is only driven in urban areas, the air filter may not get clogged, but if driven on dusty roads, pay special attention to cleaning the air filter; 2. Remove sludge from the throttle body; 3. Clean carbon deposits from the fuel injectors, as the combustion chamber is prone to carbon buildup, which can cause starting difficulties. Carbon deposits in the fuel injectors can also lead to clogged fuel passages, distorted fuel spray, and poor atomization.

Is it necessary to break in a new automatic transmission car at high speeds?

Yes, here are the relevant details: Precautions for breaking in a new car at high speeds: Too light or too heavy load: When breaking in a new car at high speeds, it must be done under full load. Otherwise, the effort will be wasted. Therefore, follow the vehicle's full load mass as specified in the manual to gather enough people. If you can't find enough people, you can fill the trunk with items. Running before the first maintenance: Many beginners have little experience in how to break in a car at high speeds and lack knowledge in this area. They often think about taking the car out for high-speed runs shortly after getting it, unaware that this can cause significant harm to the new car. Therefore, breaking in a new car at high speeds should only be done after the first maintenance. This is because, after the first maintenance, all bolt torques and potential issues with fluid levels have been checked and addressed, allowing you to drive with confidence.

What type of oil is generally used for the first maintenance?

Generally, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used for the first maintenance, and it is recommended to change it every 5,000 kilometers or every six months thereafter. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, consists of base oil and additives. It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The first maintenance of a car refers to the initial service after the vehicle leaves the factory. The primary tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter. During this process, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle is conducted, which includes checking all lights, fluid levels, functionality of the electrical systems, tire inspection and pressure adjustment, condition of the chassis components, and checking for leaks and proper operation of the engine and transmission.

What to Do If Your Car Was Hit by an Unknown Party?

Solutions for when your car was hit by an unknown party: 1. If you can locate the other vehicle or the other party has left contact information, directly seek compensation from them, as this type of accident is entirely their fault; 2. If the other vehicle cannot be found, you can only report to the police. This is considered a hit-and-run, and the traffic police will check surveillance footage. If the other vehicle can be identified through surveillance, you can then seek compensation from them. If there is no surveillance and the other vehicle cannot be found, the police will still issue a certificate, which serves as the basis for filing an insurance claim. According to regulations, if the parties involved reach an agreement through private negotiation, the following methods can be used to fulfill compensation for road traffic accident damages: 1. The parties involved compensate on their own; 2. Go to the insurance company where the policy is held or to a road traffic accident insurance claims service location to handle the compensation matters.
