Breaking down refers to a vehicle experiencing a malfunction while on the road, rendering it unable to continue driving. Examples include tire blowouts, oil leaks, battery failure, or failure to start—any issue that ultimately prevents the vehicle from moving can be termed as breaking down. When a car breaks down, the owner typically lacks the skills to inspect or fix the problem, so most people will wait for assistance. Measures to take when a car breaks down: 1. Turn on the hazard lights and place a warning triangle or other cautionary sign 150 meters behind the vehicle; 2. Do not allow passengers to remain inside the car or stand around it—they should stand on the side farther from passing traffic; 3. Call for roadside assistance. If the car breaks down on a highway, use the nearest emergency phone to seek support; 4. If the highway exit is not far away, you can specify where to tow the vehicle.

What is the speed limit at railway crossings?

When driving a motor vehicle through a railway crossing, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Below is relevant information about speed limits: Concept: Speed limits refer to necessary restrictions imposed on various mechanical and electrical equipment and their manual operations to maintain normal, stable, safe, and reliable production order and activity processes. The primary purpose is to preemptively remind drivers to reasonably control their speed in subsequent sections of the road ahead and prevent the dangers of speeding. Speed limits are an indispensable and most crucial aspect of road transport safety. Speed limit conventions: Relevant regulations are outlined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," with authoritative references from the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering." The reality is that the overall public awareness of traffic safety still needs improvement; actual speed limits are absolutely based on legal documents, referenced against traffic standards, and flexibly adjusted according to real-world conditions.

How much damage does installing a rearview radar cause to the original car?

Installing a rearview radar can cause significant damage to the original car. Below is an introduction to precautions when reversing: Reversing method: Before reversing, first check the situation behind the car, estimate the path of movement, and ensure that the front of the car will not hit any obstacles. Try to avoid stepping on the accelerator when reversing, and control the speed to avoid going too fast. Depending on the direction the rear of the car needs to move, use the left hand to turn the steering wheel. If the rear needs to move to the right rear, turn the steering wheel to the right. Conversely, turn the steering wheel to the left. Precautions: During the reversing process, do not keep looking at the rear. While ensuring the safety behind the car, it is necessary to occasionally observe the left and right rearview mirrors, pay attention to the distance between obstacles and the car body, and accordingly use the steering wheel to adjust the position of the car while reversing. If you feel that the front of the car might hit an obstacle during reversing, you should also check the front of the car at the appropriate time.

How to prevent stalling when starting on a slope?

The method to prevent stalling when starting on a slope is: First, lift your left foot (clutch pedal) slowly until the car begins to vibrate, then hold it steady. Gradually release the brake pedal. Once the front wheels start pulling the rear wheels, slowly release the clutch pedal completely. When preparing to start on a slope, after the engine starts, keep both the clutch and brake pedals depressed with your feet. Shift the gear into first, then release the handbrake. Gradually ease off the brake pedal with your right foot while monitoring the tachometer's RPM. When the tachometer shows around 2000 RPM and you hear a slight change in the engine sound, slowly release the clutch pedal with your left foot. Once you feel the car beginning to move, quickly release the brake pedal with your right foot while simultaneously fully releasing the clutch. Then, gently press the accelerator to give some gas, and the car will move up the slope.

How to Deal with Abnormal Noises When the Baojun 730 Drives on Bumpy Roads?

Baojun 730 driving on bumpy roads with abnormal noises requires timely inspection at a 4S store. There are two main points to check: First, the fixing bolts between the steering drive shaft and the steering gear may be loose. The solution to the abnormal noise is simple—just tighten the bolts. Second, there may be an issue inside the steering gear. Due to poor external sealing of the steering gear, water may enter, causing rust and wear on internal components, leading to abnormal noises. In this case, the steering gear needs to be replaced, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Advantages of the Baojun 730: High configuration in its class, simple and elegant exterior, perfect interior design, full of business vehicle flavor.

Are hazard lights and high-low beam alternation the same?

Hazard lights and high-low beam alternation are not the same. Usage of hazard lights: When a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, hazard lights should be turned on to warn other passing vehicles. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, both the towing vehicle in front and the towed vehicle behind should simultaneously activate their hazard lights to alert other vehicles on the road to maintain distance and be aware of the presence of another vehicle behind. If driving on the road and needing to slow down due to vehicle malfunction or other factors, turn on the hazard lights to prompt other vehicles to detour or overtake. Usage of high-low beam alternation: High beams should be turned on in situations with poor lighting, such as on highways or rural roads. In well-lit conditions, as well as when encountering oncoming traffic, following another vehicle, or approaching pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles, switch to low beams. On urban roads with streetlights, flashing the lights may be necessary. When overtaking a large truck, because trucks have large blind spots and high chassis, repeated flashing is needed to alert the truck driver and ensure safety before overtaking.
