CAR on a car simply means 'car'. The CAR button is used to quickly open the car system settings interface. Pressing this button allows the multimedia central control screen to directly switch to display the car system interface. In this interface, you can make various car settings, such as selecting driving modes, adjusting seats and air conditioning, parking assistance systems, settings and services, etc. Functions of various buttons in the car: 1. The SEL button is the menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. The OK button has exactly the same function as the SEL button, but some cars use SEL while others use OK; 3. The AC button is the compressor switch, which is the air conditioning cooling switch, because the car air conditioning heating does not require the compressor; 4. MUTE is the mute button, which can mute the sound with one click; 5. MODE is the mode switching button.

When driving, I often hear people ask what CAR means. In fact, its most common meaning in a car context is the abbreviation for 'car' in English, referring to the vehicle itself. Whether it's a sedan, SUV, or electric vehicle, we simply refer to it as a CAR. For example, the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel or the CAR icon displayed on the center console screen usually serve as a quick access point for vehicle settings. After clicking into it, you can adjust lighting height, door lock modes, and even personalize settings like air conditioning controls. If you see it in the vehicle manual or on the car's menu, it represents the overall functions and status management of the vehicle. As someone who has been driving for over a decade, I recommend that newcomers to a new car spend some time exploring the CAR options on the center console screen to better understand their beloved vehicle. Don't forget, designs may vary across different car models, but the basic functions are generally similar.

Will I be penalized for driving over the guide line when entering a service area?

Driving over the guide line when entering a service area will result in a 3-point penalty. Here is the relevant information: Guide line: The guide line mainly consists of one or several white V-shaped lines or diagonal striped areas set according to the terrain of the intersection, indicating that vehicles must drive according to the prescribed route and must not drive over or cross the line.

Can Motorcycles Be Left Outdoors in Northern Winters?

Motorcycles can be left outdoors in northern winters, but it's best to remove the battery for proper storage and cover the bike with a protective cover. Methods to start a motorcycle that has been parked for a long time: Simply replace the battery with a new one and install new spark plugs. If left unused for an extended period, the battery will lose charge, and the spark plug electrodes may develop issues, preventing the engine from starting. Replacing the battery or charging it, along with installing new spark plugs, will allow the engine to start. Potential damages from prolonged motorcycle storage: Severe cases may lead to internal corrosion of the carburetor and clogging of its fuel supply ports. If the carburetor is severely corroded, it will need to be cleaned or replaced.

What does scratch damage insurance mean?

Scratch damage insurance is an additional coverage to vehicle loss insurance, and only vehicles already insured with vehicle loss insurance are eligible for this additional coverage. During the insurance period, if the insured vehicle suffers isolated scratches on the body surface paint without obvious collision marks, the insurer will be responsible for compensation according to the actual loss as stipulated in this contract. Insurance Coverage: The insurance company is responsible for compensating for scratches without obvious collision marks, such as when a vehicle is parked in a residential area and a mischievous child damages the car paint with a sharp object. In such cases, if this insurance is purchased, a claim can be made. However, scratches caused by accidental incidents during driving fall under the compensation scope of vehicle loss insurance. Exclusions: Losses caused by intentional acts of the insured and their family members, or the driver and their family members.

Can an Automatic Transmission Converted to Manual Pass the Annual Inspection?

An automatic transmission converted to manual cannot pass the annual inspection. Here are the relevant details: Illegal modification: It may constitute illegal modification, as illegal modifications include alterations to the vehicle's appearance, power system, transmission system, and braking system that exceed the original manufacturer's design load capacity and functions without legal permission or manufacturer consent. Whether replacing the automatic transmission or installing an automatic clutch, these modifications to the vehicle's power and transmission systems are considered illegal without approval from relevant authorities. Considerations: Converting from automatic to manual requires assessing the engine compartment size and layout. If the same model is available with an automatic transmission, the conversion is easier. However, after conversion to automatic, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection, and the automatic transmission consumes more fuel than the manual, with significantly reduced performance.
