The appearance of a TC icon with a slash on the dashboard indicates that the traction control system is turned off. The illuminated light does not signify a fault in the car; it is merely a reminder icon, so there is no need to worry. Once the system is turned back on, the slash will disappear. Below is relevant information about the car's traction control system: 1. Cars equipped with a traction control system will, during driving, activate the ABS anti-lock braking system when it detects wheel slippage. The system will then apply braking to the slipping wheel to prevent loss of traction, thereby improving the vehicle's passability. 2. When the system is active, a yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard will flash to alert the driver. 3. The traction control system in a car is highly important, second only to seat belts in significance. It reduces the occurrence of wheel spin and ensures the car maintains good stability during driving. 4. The traction control system automatically activates when the car starts. If the wheels show any signs of slipping, the system will intervene immediately.

What are the precautions for driving on the highway in rainy weather?

Precautions for driving on the highway in rainy weather are as follows: 1. Maintain a safe distance: When driving in the rain, it is crucial to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Rainy conditions impair visibility, making it harder to accurately judge the distance between vehicles. Therefore, the safest approach is to maintain a proper following distance. Wet roads are slippery, and high-speed driving increases the risk. Due to reduced visibility, it may be difficult to see if the vehicle ahead is slowing down or braking, so avoid frequent lane changes and overtaking. 2. Stay away from large vehicles: Do not tailgate buses or trucks. In rainy conditions, large trucks may struggle to brake promptly in case of sudden situations.

Use Internal or External Air Circulation Normally?

Switch between internal and external air circulation based on the environment. Here are specific explanations about internal and external circulation: Internal circulation is recommended when using air conditioning in summer to prevent hot air from entering the car, during smoggy days, or in traffic jams to avoid outside air entering the vehicle. External circulation is advisable when driving on highways to ensure fresh air circulation, when smoking to quickly expel smoke, or after prolonged sun exposure to release toxic gases from the car. Additional information: Precautions: Shortly after entering the car, open the windows or turn on the external circulation ventilation system to introduce fresh air. Avoid driving for long periods with closed windows and doors, and never sleep or rest for extended periods in a sealed car. After purchasing a new car, treat it like a newly renovated house by maximizing air exchange between the inside and outside to help release harmful gases as quickly as possible.

Why is there steam coming from the car hood?

There are two possible scenarios for white smoke appearing from a car engine: (1) Incomplete fuel combustion. (2) Minor leakage in the cylinder liner or water presence in the fuel. Black smoke from a car engine may occur under the following circumstances: (1) Air-fuel ratio imbalance. (2) Decreased cylinder pressure. (3) Premature fuel injection timing. (4) Failure of the smoke limiter on the fuel injection pump. (5) Malfunction in the exhaust brake system. Here are some countermeasures: 1. Check if the expansion valve is damaged; if not, inspect the water pipes near the radiator and the radiator itself for leaks. 2. Do not attempt to start the vehicle again and promptly contact maintenance personnel for assistance.

What is the simplest method for reference points in hill start parking?

When performing hill start parking, before ascending the slope, maintain a slightly faster speed to give the car some momentum, otherwise it may not climb the slope. You can select a reference point at an appropriate position on the windshield wiper to substitute for the center point of the car's front. Generally, choose the left section of the right wiper's first segment - when the driver aligns this point with the pole marker, stopping at this position will be precisely correct. During hill starts, coordinate the clutch, accelerator pedal, and parking brake lever carefully, with particular attention to the timing of releasing the parking brake lever.

What does high-speed laser light mean?

Highways are lined with rows of green laser lights, which are actually anti-fatigue laser lights. These lights automatically turn on at night. As the name suggests, the main purpose of anti-fatigue laser lights is to remind drivers to stay alert and avoid drowsy driving. Additionally, these lights can slightly refresh the brain to some extent. Below are the principles of high-speed laser lights: 1. High-speed laser lights attract drivers' attention through moving light beams, effectively alleviating visual fatigue and reducing the incidence of accidents. 2. After multiple on-site surveys and extensive research, high-speed laser lights use changing light stimuli to alter the monotonous driving environment that causes visual fatigue.
