The auto light on a car refers to the automatic headlights. More related information is as follows: 1. The headlights will automatically turn on or off based on the light sensing system, enabling automatic activation or deactivation, as well as automatic switching between high and low beams. When the light switch is set to this position, the lights will not turn on during the day but will automatically activate at night, such as when driving through tunnels, on cloudy days, or in any dimly lit areas. 2. The working principle of the auto light is: sensors like photoresistors send electronic signals to the control unit, informing it whether to turn the headlights on or off, and then the control unit manages the headlight switch and the change between high and low beams.

I really love this AUTO gear because it's super worry-free! Just turn the light switch to the AUTO position, and the car will automatically turn the headlights on and off based on the changing daylight. For example, when it gets dark in the evening, the headlights will turn on by themselves; when entering a tunnel or underground garage, it reacts even faster than I do; and when the sun comes up in the morning, it turns off the lights automatically. The most practical feature is on cloudy days or roads with lots of tree shade—I don’t have to distract myself to adjust the lights at all. I once tried blocking the sensor above the dashboard with a keychain ornament, and it didn’t work as well, so remember to keep the sensor area clean. Also, if you stop under tree shade at a red light, the headlights might flicker—just turn them off manually in such cases, and it won’t affect usage.

What is the probability of being caught for changing lanes over solid lines at highway exits?

The probability is very high. When motor vehicles are driving on highways, there are almost always cameras installed where solid lines are present, making the chance of being captured very high. Once captured, the vehicle will be recorded for a traffic violation. Failure to handle this promptly will affect the vehicle's annual inspection. Below are precautions for driving on highways: No arbitrary lane changes: Motor vehicles driving on highways must not change lanes arbitrarily. Before changing lanes, it is necessary to observe the situation of vehicles behind. When entering the highway from service areas or ramps, timely acceleration is required, and the situation behind the vehicle must be observed. On highways, unauthorized stopping, reversing, making U-turns, or driving on emergency lanes is not permitted. Speed limits: The maximum speed limit for motor vehicles is 120 kilometers per hour. Motor vehicles must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour on highways. If speeding occurs, penalties will be imposed based on the extent of the speeding, as it constitutes a traffic violation.

Solutions for Brake Nodding?

The best way to solve this issue is to improve your braking technique. When the vehicle is about to stop but hasn't fully stopped yet, shift to neutral and release the brake, allowing the vehicle to come to a stop by itself while coasting. The principle of shifting to neutral is the same as with a manual transmission. Another method is to develop a feel for the pedal.

How to Interpret the Choke Valve Switch Indicator for Gasoline Engines?

The choke valve is a unique component of carburetor-type gasoline engines, used to adjust the air-fuel mixture concentration for easier starting. Under normal circumstances, it should remain in the open position. The carburetor's choke valve only activates its baffle when the handle switch is pulled up. Therefore, when starting a vehicle without a choke cable, moving the handle switch to the topmost position assists in engine startup. During normal vehicle operation, the choke valve switch must be positioned downward.
