The two dials on the car display the following information: the upper one shows the distance traveled since the last refueling, while the lower one indicates the total accumulated mileage of the vehicle. Additional details about the speedometer and odometer are provided below: 1. Introduction: Traditional speedometers are mechanical, typically connected via a flexible shaft containing a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft attaches to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the speedometer housing. The housing is linked to the needle, and a hairspring keeps the needle at zero. The speed of the magnet's rotation affects the magnetic field strength, disrupting the balance and causing the needle to move. 2. Location: The speedometer displays the car's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). The odometer actually consists of two meters: one for speed and another for distance. The car's odometer is positioned directly in front of the driver's seat.

What happens if you go straight in a turning lane?

Going straight in a turning lane results in a 2-point deduction. Below is relevant information about going straight in a turning lane: 1. Different nature, different penalties: The severity of the penalty varies depending on the nature of the road. If you do not drive in the designated lane (e.g., turning left from a straight lane) on highways or urban expressways, you will be penalized with 3 points. If this occurs on roads other than highways or urban expressways, no points will be deducted. 2. Reason for violation: Turning left from a straight lane primarily violates Article 90 of China's 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' which states that motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will receive a warning. Generally, a 2-point deduction will also be applied.

What does a triangle with an exclamation mark on the car's dashboard mean?

The triangle with an exclamation mark on the car's dashboard is the traction control system warning light. The reasons for its illumination are: 1. Faulty engine oxygen sensor; 2. Clogged fuel injector; 3. Carbon buildup on the intake valve; 4. Sensor malfunction; 5. Low fuel pressure; 6. Inaccurate air measurement; 7. Impurities in the gasoline. The functions of the traction control system are: 1. To provide optimal traction under various driving conditions; 2. To improve vehicle stability; 3. To enhance acceleration and climbing ability. The working principle of the traction control system is: using a computer to detect wheel speed and steering wheel angle, when the car accelerates, if a significant speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels is detected, the computer sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force.

What Causes Automatic Daytime Running Light Control Failure?

Automatic daytime running light switching failure may be due to settings issues, blown fuses, or potential vehicle wiring harness faults. Below is an introduction to troubleshooting methods for automatic daytime running light failures: 1. Handling setting faults: Turn off the daytime running lights in the vehicle settings. Simply rotate the headlight switch to the automatic position, and the automatic daytime running lights will turn the headlights on/off based on ambient light intensity. 2. Blown daytime running light fuse: When fuses blow, typically both sides won't illuminate, requiring fuse repair or replacement; if only one side fails, it's likely not a fuse issue. 3. Wiring harness fault: Inspect the wiring between the headlight control module and daytime running lights. If wiring issues are found, replace the wiring harness.

What Does the A on the Car Mean?

Car's A is the automatic parking function. The following is the relevant introduction of automatic parking: Introduction to automatic parking: Automatic parking refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, there is no need to pull the handbrake, avoiding the use of handbrake or electronic handbrake to simplify operations. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N and D to P. Automatic parking working principle: The automatic parking function provides accurate parking force through the slope sensor by the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information provided by the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force is greater than the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.
