TPMS light is the tire pressure fault warning light, which indicates that the air pressure in one of the tires may be too low. The following are the functions of the tire pressure monitoring system: 1. Prevent accidents: The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety equipment. It can provide timely warnings when there are signs of danger in the tires, reminding the driver to take appropriate measures to avoid serious accidents. 2. Extend the service life of tires: The tire pressure monitoring system ensures that the tires always operate within the specified pressure and temperature range, thereby reducing tire damage and extending their service life. Data shows that driving with insufficient tire pressure, when the tire pressure is 10% lower than the normal value, the tire life is reduced by 15%.

Can I add 92 gasoline when there is still 95 gasoline left in the tank?

Occasionally mixing them is acceptable, but prolonged mixing of 92 and 95 gasoline can easily lead to clogging of the car's fuel injectors, carbon deposits in the engine, abnormal increase in fuel consumption, and in more severe cases, it may affect the engine's lifespan. Below are the differences between the two types of gasoline: 1. Composition: 92 gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The main difference lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity, the stronger the gasoline's anti-knock properties, and consequently, the higher the price. 2. Stability: 95 gasoline has excellent stability, but it is more prone to combustion. The octane rating of 92 gasoline is 90%, while that of 95 gasoline is 95%. 3. Applicable vehicle models: When choosing between 92 and 95 gasoline, it is necessary to follow the car's manual. Generally, low-end cars can use 92 gasoline, while high-end cars require 95 gasoline to meet the engine's demands.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection without traffic lights?

At an intersection without traffic lights, if there is no sign prohibiting U-turns, you are allowed to make a U-turn. Relevant laws: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," it is stipulated: "Motor vehicles may make U-turns at locations where there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, provided that they do not hinder the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Correct method for passing through intersections: When you see vehicles on both sides slowing down, you should also slow down immediately, as there may be a large number of pedestrians crossing the intersection; when starting at an intersection, develop the habit of looking left, center, and right to guard against others running red lights; when entering a main road from a side road, follow the principle of maintaining a 6-second distance from other vehicles. When making a left turn, wait slightly for right-turning vehicles, and when making a right turn, wait slightly for left-turning vehicles to prevent the other vehicle from turning too wide and crossing into your lane. When making a right turn from a side road onto a main road or a right turn on red, it is safer to follow one vehicle closely while turning right. However, be cautious of vehicles changing lanes from other lanes, so when there is no vehicle in the first lane but there is a vehicle in the second lane, ensure you observe the vehicle in the second lane before making the right turn.

Why Does the Car Move Without Pressing the Accelerator?

The reasons why a car moves without pressing the accelerator are: manual transmission cars have an idle phase, where they can move at idle speed without pressing the accelerator or the brake; because automatic transmissions do not have a clutch, once the gear is engaged in drive, the car will move even without pressing the accelerator, at a speed of about 15km/h. Driving precautions: 1. Check the vehicle: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, including checking for oil or water leaks, inspecting the ground under the car for any oil or water stains, measuring tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate, and checking the engine oil condition. 2. Refuel promptly: Before a long journey, fill up the fuel tank. When the fuel level drops below half during the trip, refuel at a major gas station along the way. Do not wait for the fuel light to come on before looking for a gas station, as this can be very passive. 3. Avoid fatigued driving: For long-distance driving, the primary concern should be to avoid fatigued driving. Fatigued driving is one of the main causes of accidents. If there is a co-driver, it is best to switch every 2 hours. If feeling drowsy, it is advisable to stop and rest for a while, and never force yourself to continue driving.
