Automatic transmission M refers to the manual mode, where the plus sign is for upshifting and the minus sign is for downshifting. Tiptronic combines the manual shifting and automatic shifting of a car into one transmission method. The Tiptronic transmission is a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system, giving the driver the freedom to choose the appropriate gear and shifting timing. Automatic transmissions can reduce the impact of manual shifting on the car's drivetrain, extend the vehicle's service life, and improve ride comfort. This setting is added to enhance the economy and controllability of the automatic transmission, returning the shifting timing originally determined by the computer back to the driver's hands.

Can You Still Drive If Your License Points Are Less Than 12?

You can continue driving as long as your license has not accumulated 12 penalty points. If it reaches 12 points, you are no longer allowed to drive. According to Article 58 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a single scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license. If a driver accumulates 12 or more penalty points within a scoring cycle, they must attend a seven-day full-point education program within 15 days. After completing the program, they must take the theoretical exam (Subject 1). If they pass, the penalty points will be cleared, and their driving license will be returned. If a driver accumulates 12 or more points twice within a scoring cycle or reaches 24 or more penalty points, they must not only pass the Subject 1 exam but also take the road test (Subject 3) within 10 days after passing. Only upon passing both exams will the penalty points be cleared and the driving license returned.

What are the consequences of not scrapping and deregistering a motorcycle when it expires?

The consequence of not scrapping and deregistering a motorcycle after it expires is that the motorcycle will remain under the owner's name, which may affect future car purchases and driver's license services. Regulations stipulate that the scrap period for motorcycles is 13 years. Local authorities may set a stricter scrap time than this period, but it must not be less than 11 years, so the scrap period ranges from 11 to 13 years. A motorcycle can be kept after being scrapped, but it must not be driven on the road. Motorcycle scrapping process: First, bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and license plate number to the vehicle management office to fill out an application for scrapping. After the vehicle management office approves, they will issue a scrapping notice. Take this notice to a recycling company. After the recycling company completes the process, they will issue a relevant recycling certificate. Finally, take the recycling certificate back to the vehicle management office for registration.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Buick Regal in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the new Buick Regal is 62L. The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Regal 20T is 55L; the 2017 Regal 28T/GS28T has a fuel tank capacity of 62L; the 2017 30H model has a fuel tank capacity of 49L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What is the Chinese meaning of 'lim' on a car?

On a car, 'lim' stands for the speed limit function button. When pressed while the vehicle is stationary, it activates the speed limit function. If the throttle depth is below 95%, the vehicle speed will not exceed the set speed, and an alarm will sound when the set speed is reached. Pressing the throttle all the way down can exceed the set speed limit, but the speed limit function remains effective once the throttle is released. Pressing this button while driving sets the current speed as the speed limit. If a speed limit lower than the current speed is set while driving, the vehicle will coast until the speed drops below the set limit. The system allows exceeding the speed limit under certain special circumstances, and in such cases, the driver can exceed the speed limit as needed without triggering an audible warning. The method to set the speed limit function is to press the 'lim' button, then press the 'set' button to enter the speed limit adjustment mode. Use the 'res' button to increase the speed limit or the 'set' button to decrease it. The speed limit function helps prevent speeding. The prerequisite for setting it is that the vehicle is not in cruise control mode and is traveling at a speed of 30 km/h or higher.
