E and F represent the volume of the car's fuel tank. On the fuel gauge of the car's dashboard, the characters E and F are used. F stands for full, and E stands for empty. If the fuel gauge needle is at the F position, it means the car's fuel tank is full. If the fuel gauge needle is at the E position, it means the fuel tank is almost empty. When the car is low on fuel, a warning light will illuminate on the dashboard. The fuel warning light is usually shaped like a fuel tank. When fuel is low, the warning light will turn yellow; in cases of extremely low fuel, the warning light will turn red. Some car models only display a yellow fuel warning light, in which case the owner should pay attention to the remaining fuel level and refuel in time. During the refueling process, it is not advisable to fill the car's fuel tank to the brim, especially in hot summer weather. This is because gasoline expands and evaporates into vapor under high temperatures, and the resulting vapor or even liquid can enter the carbon canister for storage. Overfilling the tank can cause deviations in the fuel gauge needle. Even after prolonged use, the fuel gauge needle may not drop and will only return to normal after some time. Effects of low fuel levels: Fuel sloshing causing the car to stall: When the fuel level is too low, on bumpy or winding roads, the fuel can slosh around, and the fuel pump may not be able to pump fuel in time. This can lead to insufficient fuel supply, causing the car to experience jerking, hesitation, or stalling. Fuel pump overheating: The fuel pump is cooled by the fuel. If the fuel level is too low, the cooling performance of the fuel pump decreases, accelerating wear on internal components and potentially leading to short circuits or burnout. Clogging the fuel system: The bottom of the fuel tank contains more impurities. If the fuel level is too low, these impurities can enter the fuel supply system due to fuel sloshing, leading to clogged fuel lines. Affecting driving safety: Low fuel levels can easily cause the car to stall. If the car stalls while driving, both steering and braking can be affected. If there is heavy traffic on the road, this can lead to traffic accidents.

What is the meaning of auto start-stop?

The auto start-stop system in vehicles refers to a system that automatically controls engine shutdown and ignition. When the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, the engine automatically goes into a dormant state. This is mainly applicable in urban traffic situations such as waiting at traffic lights or during traffic congestion. For automatic transmission vehicles, once the car is started, the auto start-stop system is in normal working condition. When encountering a traffic light or stopping for other reasons, pressing the brake pedal will generally cause the engine to automatically shut down after two seconds. To start moving again, simply release the brake and press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, and the engine will restart. For manual transmission vehicles, when stopping, shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch will prompt the system to automatically shut down the engine upon recognizing these three actions. When the clutch is pressed again, the engine will automatically restart. Vehicles equipped with engine start-stop technology also have their air conditioning systems replaced with electric air conditioning. When the engine stops, the battery continues to power the air conditioning system. The steering mechanism is also replaced with electric power steering, as hydraulic power steering requires the engine to provide hydraulic pressure. Precautions for using auto start-stop: When driving on steep slopes, it is advisable to avoid using the auto start-stop system. Although the auto start-stop duration is brief, engine start-stop on a slope may lead to insufficient brake assistance. When driving through water, it is best to turn off the start-stop system. This prevents the engine from shutting down when stopping during driving, which could cause a sudden reduction in exhaust pressure. Water could then easily flow back from the exhaust pipe into the engine, making it unable to start.

Does stopping in the middle of the road when the red light turns on count as running a red light?

If the vehicle stops in the middle and does not continue driving, it does not count as running a red light but rather as overstepping the stop line. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to drive when the red light is on and prohibits passage. Determining a red-light violation requires at least three pieces of photographic evidence: the vehicle not having left the stop line when the red light turns on; the vehicle passing through the intersection when the red light turns on; and the vehicle having crossed the line and continuing to move forward when the red light turns on. The act of running a red light is clearly defined in the Road Traffic Safety Law. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and if a vehicle passes through an intersection when the red light is on, it constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Running a red light occurs when a vehicle is within the stop line, the forward direction is already a red light, but the vehicle continues to move forward, with both the front and rear wheels ultimately crossing the stop line. This is determined through three photos captured by electronic cameras: A photo of the vehicle crossing the intersection stop line, including the red light and license plate number. A photo of the vehicle completely passing the stop line, including the red light and license plate number. A photo showing the vehicle continuing to move, comparing changes in the vehicle's position, including the red light and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the act of running a red light. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Photos of the violation may be blurred, and if the red light is mistakenly run, traffic police will not impose penalties. Emergency situations: If a citizen transports a critically ill patient, they can provide proof from the hospital or the rescued individual to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation record can be expunged. If possible, it is best to call an ambulance to avoid running a red light and causing a traffic accident. Police officer's direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at important intersections. Drivers must follow the officer's hand signals. Yielding to special vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other special vehicles. If a violation is captured by surveillance cameras while yielding to such vehicles, manual review will not record the act of running a red light. Even if recorded, one can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department.
