What does 'low' mean in cars?
2 Answers
low means low or short. In cars, it generally refers to being low. Car driving techniques: Check the rearview mirror when braking, judge the following distance based on the speed of the car in front and the starting time. Drive fast and steady. Be able to adjust your mindset while driving, maintaining a good attitude for steady and safe driving. Know how to honk the horn and use turn signals to communicate with vehicles in front and behind. Car driving precautions: Remember to fasten your seat belt when driving on the road, pay attention to maintaining safe following distance, strictly avoid answering phone calls while driving, the stronger the high beams at night, the less safe the driving. The wider the angle of light illumination, the safer it is, the higher and brighter the lights are raised, the more dangerous it is. Habitually stepping on the clutch is not a way to reduce trouble. After parking on uneven ground, not only pull the handbrake but also engage the gear. On one-way roads with two lanes, driving on the dotted line is the most unsafe.
Yesterday while driving, the dashboard suddenly lit up with a red 'Oil Low' warning light, which scared me into pulling over immediately. Checking the manual, I realized it was a low engine oil alert. This usually means the oil level has dropped below the safe limit, possibly due to oil burning, leakage, or insufficient refill during maintenance. When I popped the hood and checked the dipstick, sure enough it was bone dry. You should never ignore such warning lights and keep driving - it could cause engine seizure in minutes. My advice is to shut off the engine right away. If you know how to check oil levels, you can top up with the same oil type as temporary measure. Beginners should call for a tow truck to the repair shop. Now I treat any warning light with 'Low' extremely seriously - after all, engine repairs cost way more than an oil top-up.
