During vehicle use, a yellow light on the dashboard indicates that the vehicle's engine requires maintenance. Generally, the engine should be inspected promptly, and the nearest vehicle repair shop should be visited for servicing. Since the engine is the heart of the car, regular maintenance should be performed in a timely manner to prevent malfunctions during use. Here are the indicator lights on the car dashboard that must be checked when they come on: 1. Tire Pressure Warning Light: When there is an issue with the tire pressure, the tire warning light will illuminate. The tire pressure of the car requires special attention. If there is a problem with the tire pressure, the tire condition must be checked immediately. 2. ABS Indicator Light: ABS stands for the Anti-lock Braking System in a car. The anti-lock braking system is related to the safety of driving the vehicle. The ABS indicator light signifies a fault in the anti-lock braking system, which must be inspected promptly. 3. Engine Fault Indicator Light: This indicates the operating status of the engine, usually appearing in yellow or red. During the vehicle's self-check, it will light up automatically. It turns off automatically after starting, but if the engine fault indicator light remains on, the engine condition should be checked immediately. 4. Battery Indicator Light: The battery indicator light normally turns off during proper startup. Once the battery indicator light comes on, it indicates a problem with the battery, which should be repaired promptly.

Do You Still Need a Driver's License When Self-Driving Cars Arrive?

Self-driving cars do not require human operation, so a driver's license is not necessary. A self-driving car is an intelligent vehicle, also referred to as a wheeled mobile robot, which primarily relies on an onboard computer system to achieve autonomous driving. Additional Information: 1. Self-driving still requires human involvement: Autonomous driving does not mean complete independence from humans. It involves complex computer control units that still require human intervention based on real-time road conditions. If issues arise, human adjustments are necessary. Nothing can achieve true full automation and intelligence; even the best technology becomes useless without human oversight. 2. On the other hand: Humans lose thousands of brain cells daily, but brain cells have regenerative capabilities, allowing for flexible thinking. In contrast, machines and computers may fail to function properly if even a small component malfunctions.

What is the difference between engine displacements of cars?

Here are the differences in engine displacement: 1. In terms of craftsmanship: The larger the displacement, the higher the process requirements for the engine, and the greater the output power. Cars with greater power are faster, and cars in the same series have larger displacements. 2. In terms of configuration: The larger the displacement, the higher the configuration. For example, the Audi A6 1.8T does not have standard all-wheel drive, while the A6 4.2 has standard all-wheel drive. 3. In terms of fuel consumption: The larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, but there is no formula between the two, and the driver's control cannot be formalized. 4. In terms of turbochargers: The T after the car model indicates that the car has a turbocharger, which increases the output power of the car. For example, the maximum output power of the Audi 1.8T engine is not less than that of a 2.4 displacement engine without a turbocharger.

Who to Contact for ETC Duplicate Charges?

If there are duplicate ETC charges, it is recommended to first call the ETC customer service hotline and report the situation to the customer service representative; then, go to the bank to print the detailed transaction statement and provide it to the ETC service center staff for verification. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, to prevent issues such as the vehicle's ETC device malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle's device information, resulting in a failed charge. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, can cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service center for inspection. If the detachment or loosening is not due to human error, it can usually be reactivated. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can also lead to a failed charge. In such cases, follow the instructions of on-site staff to proceed to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card payment for passage. Excessively thick car windshields can cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or those with modified front windshields.

What is the refund process for driving school tuition?

Driving school refund process: 1. The student voluntarily withdraws from the driver's license application process, or is unable to complete the exams within the stipulated period due to poor health, military service, imprisonment, etc. 2. Visit the local vehicle management office and fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Withdrawal Application Form". 3. Submit the original ID card and a copy. 4. After approval, the application form and ID copy will be retained by the service window, and the withdrawal will be processed. Additional information: In principle, the applicant must be present to process the withdrawal. For special circumstances such as being bedridden and unable to move, a proxy can be appointed. When a proxy or guardian handles the withdrawal, they must also submit the original ID card of the person being represented. The government requires driving schools to have a refund mechanism, so legitimate driving schools will have one. However, there are no specific national regulations on refund standards; each driving school sets its own. After all, students requesting refunds have varying progress in their studies, and driving school fees vary by region.
