The circle with an R in the car dashboard indicates wear on the right brake shoe. Below is relevant information about the dashboard: 1. Concept: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working status of various vehicle systems. Common indicators include the fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front/rear fog light indicators, and warning lights. 2. Speedometer and odometer: The speedometer actually consists of two gauges. One is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The odometer is a digital instrument that operates through the engagement of the counter drum wheel's transmission gear with the worm gear on the speedometer's drive shaft, causing the counter drum wheel to rotate. Its characteristic is that the upper-level drum wheel completes a full rotation.

How should non-motor vehicles make a left turn at an intersection?

Non-motor vehicles need to make a two-stage crossing to turn left at an intersection and cannot follow the left-turn lane like motor vehicles. If non-motor vehicle drivers attempt to turn left using the motor vehicle left-turn lane, they will be in close proximity to high-speed turning motor vehicles, increasing the risk of collisions. Below are some precautions for U-turns: 1. U-turns are allowed when there are no prohibition signs: Generally, U-turns are permitted in the absence of no-U-turn signs, provided they do not interfere with normal traffic flow and are done safely. Typically, the central road divider will change from a solid line to a dashed line near the intersection. 2. U-turns are permitted on yellow grid lines: U-turns can be made on yellow grid lines where there is no central barrier. Yellow grid line areas indicate no-parking zones and are usually placed at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking or at entrances to important facilities.

What is the Difference Between a Black Water Tank and a Grey Water Tank?

Grey water tank refers to a tank that collects water from daily activities such as washing dishes and showering, while the black water tank stores waste from the toilet. Both grey and black water tanks need to be emptied regularly every day, and cleaning agents should be added for rinsing after emptying. More details about the black water tank are as follows: 1. Description one: The pull-out black water tank has a smaller storage capacity and requires manual removal to a designated location for cleaning, commonly found in European RVs. The direct-discharge black water tank has a larger storage capacity and requires the vehicle to be driven to a designated location for cleaning, more common in North America. 2. Description two: When in use, a special black water tank degrader needs to be added. For cleaning, the pull-out type can be rinsed directly with a hose, while the direct-discharge type requires connection to a water network for cleaning. Currently, the pull-out type is more prevalent in China due to the lack of RV camps and insufficient facilities, making it difficult to implement the use of direct-discharge black water tanks.

Can the Honda Haoying use 95 octane gasoline?

If 92 octane is recommended, then it is not advisable to switch to 95 octane, as using higher octane gasoline is not as beneficial as one might think. Higher octane gasoline does not necessarily improve engine performance. Gasoline octane rating: It is the ratio of the actual anti-knock performance of gasoline to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher octane ratings are not always better; the choice of gasoline octane should be based on the engine's compression ratio. Gasoline grade categories: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on the octane value. Gasoline is refined from various gasoline components obtained through petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and is blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

Why can't I pay the retake fee on 12123?

There are many reasons for this situation, among which the most common one is that the mobile phone or server is running unstably. At this time, you can exit the software or restart the phone and try to pay again in a place with smooth network connection. Another possible reason is that the driving test center has not opened the online payment service for retake fees, so you need to go to the test center to pay. The retake fee can be paid on the Traffic Management 12123 platform. Nowadays, exam scheduling, exam fee payment, etc. are all uniformly managed by Traffic Management 12123, and candidates can schedule and pay fees on the platform by themselves. The purpose of this is to reduce the phenomenon of hidden charges by driving schools. On Traffic Management 12123, the retake fee will only appear after you have successfully scheduled the exam. If you have not scheduled the exam, the system will not generate the corresponding service fee. In addition, if you have successfully scheduled the exam but still cannot pay the exam fee, it is likely due to data delay. You can wait a few days and then pay the fee on 12123. Furthermore, after scheduling the exam, even if you have not paid the exam fee, it will not affect the exam. You just need to pay all the fees before obtaining the license.

What Causes All Four Tires to Suddenly Display Low Pressure?

If your vehicle's dashboard suddenly indicates low pressure in all four tires, it is highly likely that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has malfunctioned, causing confusion in the tire pressure data. Resetting the TPMS should resolve the issue. Another possible reason could be weather-related, as tire pressure fluctuates with temperature changes. If the issue is weather-related, there is no need to worry—once temperatures rise, the tire pressure will increase accordingly. Lower temperatures cause tire pressure to drop, while higher temperatures lead to increased tire pressure. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting drivers to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct TPMS: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure air pressure. The data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect TPMS: When a tire's pressure drops, the vehicle's weight causes its rolling radius to decrease, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect TPMS essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius to detect pressure changes. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This hybrid system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It equips two diagonally opposite tires with direct sensors while incorporating a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this composite approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a full direct system.
