Dashboard faults are generally caused by engine issues, oil system malfunctions, or battery and charging system problems. Below are solutions for dashboard faults: 1. Immediate repair: Fault-related indicators on the car dashboard, including the engine (exhaust system) warning light, oil system warning light, and battery/charging system warning light, rarely illuminate under normal circumstances. However, if they light up, it indicates that the vehicle has developed a corresponding fault or abnormality. Minor issues may affect driving safety, while major ones could potentially damage the vehicle. Immediate inspection and repair are required, or contact the brand's 4S dealership for service. 2. Can continue driving: If the engine warning light on the dashboard illuminates, the vehicle can still be driven. The engine warning light is yellow, serving as a reminder to the driver that the engine may have a fault requiring inspection. If a red light appears on the dashboard, the vehicle must not be driven further. It should be promptly parked in a safe area or towed to a repair shop for servicing.

Does keeping the automatic parking in D gear damage the car?

Keeping the automatic parking in D gear can damage the car. When the automatic parking is engaged while in D gear, the engine remains in an idle state. If this condition persists for an extended period, the temperature of the transmission will continuously rise, which can easily cause the transmission fluid to deteriorate. This accelerates wear and tear on the transmission and affects its lifespan. Automatic parking refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes and simplifying operations. For automatic transmission vehicles, it also reduces the need for frequent switching between D gear to N gear or D gear to P gear.

Where is the windshield washer fluid added in a car?

Windshield washer fluid is added in the engine compartment of the car. Open the engine compartment and look for the blue cap with a wiper icon—this is the washer fluid reservoir. In some models, it may be located on the side of the engine compartment or near the fog lights. Windshield washer fluid helps quickly remove dirt and provides a clear wash. It depletes with regular use during daily driving. When the fluid level is critically low, a warning will appear on the car's instrument cluster, so it's important to refill it periodically. Windshield washer fluid comes in two types: 0°C fluid for summer use and -20°C or -35°C fluid for winter use. When choosing washer fluid, the key factors to consider are the local minimum temperature and the fluid's antifreeze capability. Always select a fluid with a freezing point at least 5 to 10 degrees lower than the local minimum temperature.

What is the speed limit on provincial highways?

Provincial highways have speed limits ranging from 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. Different sections may have different speed limit warning signs, so it is advisable to pay attention to the roadside speed limit signs to avoid unnecessary economic losses and potential safety accidents. When passing through villages, the speed limit is 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations issued by the State Council under the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: 1. Roads without a centerline: 30 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 40 kilometers per hour on highways; 2. Roads with only one lane in the same direction: 50 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 70 kilometers per hour on highways.
