The color is usually red, and it lights up for 2 seconds during power-on self-check before turning off. 2. It lights up when there is a fault in the fuel injection system. 3. For general faults, the warning light remains lit. 4. For severe faults, the warning light flashes. 5. The warning light automatically turns off once the fault is resolved. Common faults that trigger the general fault warning light include: 1. Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission or clutch. 2. Intervention or malfunction of the fuel cutoff system. 3. Fault in the parking sensor. 4. Fault in the engine oil pressure sensor. 5. Warning or fault in the traction control system.

Is it a violation if the car body extends beyond the parking space?

It is a violation if the car body extends beyond the parking space. Additional details are as follows: 1. Correct parking: The entire car body must be within the parking space to avoid being considered illegal parking. If the car body crosses the line, it will also be considered illegal parking. If the car body is not completely parked within the space, part of it will remain outside the line, occupying another person's parking space and affecting other vehicles' parking operations. In severe cases, it may even prevent others from parking properly. 2. Illegal parking: Illegal parking refers to violations of Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Temporary parking of motor vehicles on the road must comply with regulations; otherwise, it is considered illegal parking. Parking is prohibited in the following areas: sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones; intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and sections within 50 meters of these locations; areas within 30 meters of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations (except when using these facilities); opening car doors or allowing passengers to enter or exit before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, or obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians when opening or closing doors; roadside parking must be close to the right side of the road, and the driver must not leave the vehicle, and must depart immediately after passengers enter or exit or after loading/unloading items; urban buses are not allowed to stop to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated stops.

What does it mean when the engine warning light stays on?

When the engine warning light stays on, it indicates a fault in the engine, signaling that the vehicle's engine requires maintenance. An illuminated yellow engine light represents an intermittent engine fault, meaning the engine control system has detected inaccuracies in engine operation or sensor signals. In such cases, it is crucial to promptly inspect the engine and seek maintenance at the nearest auto repair shop, as the engine is the heart of the vehicle and requires regular upkeep. There are several ways the engine warning light can illuminate: steady yellow light, flashing yellow light; steady red light, flashing red light. If the red light is on, immediately visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair, as the fault is severe. If the yellow light is on, the fault may not affect driving, but it is still advisable to get it checked as soon as possible.
