A flashing little red car on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is in operation. Normal phenomenon: When the car is turned off and the doors are locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds. This is a normal phenomenon, indicating that the car has entered the anti-theft state. Anti-theft system malfunction: If it flashes while driving, it means that a door is not properly closed; if the indicator light stays on constantly, it means there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Common faults of the anti-theft system: If there is signal interference in the parking location, the car may not respond to remote operations. In this case, move the car to another location and then lock it.

The term 'little red car' literally refers to a small car in red color, but I've seen many people use it specifically to describe high-performance sports cars with powerful engines, especially those in bright red like the Porsche 911 or Ferrari. They look particularly eye-catching on the road. In the past, when playing the game 'Need for Speed,' little red cars were often used to set lap records. Nowadays, some young car enthusiasts also like to wrap their modified cars in matte red film, making them look like a streak of fire when driving. However, it's worth noting that driving such a conspicuous car in real life can easily attract police attention because it stands out too much, and even a slight speeding can get you pulled over.

The term "little red car" holds special meaning in our veteran driver circles. Originally, it referred to red sedans used as wedding cars, like the old Santana or Hongqi models. Nowadays, it also refers to red new energy vehicles in car-sharing services that can be unlocked by scanning a QR code. I've noticed that red cars show dirt particularly easily - just one rainy day drive leaves them covered in mud splatters. Plus, red paint repairs are more expensive than white, and color matching is tricky. My neighbor bought a red Civic that faded to pink after three years, which looks quite comical.

The current hottest meaning of 'Little Red Car' refers to the Wallpaper Engine software, which can be used on both mobile phones and computers. The software's logo is a red sports car, and it offers a vast collection of dynamic wallpapers to choose from, ranging from game scenes to anime characters. I once set up a cyberpunk street with rain effects, and my friend used a moving Hatsune Miku wallpaper. However, it's quite demanding on GPU resources, causing noticeable heat on laptops after prolonged use. Additionally, some wallpapers may pose copyright risks, so users should be cautious.

What Must Be Replaced During a Car's First Maintenance?

During a car's first maintenance, the following items must be replaced: engine oil and the oil filter. Other tasks mainly involve inspections, such as tightening visible screws and nuts under the chassis and checking the stability of the exhaust pipe hangers. The first maintenance must be performed within either 5,000 kilometers or six months of the car's use, whichever comes first. It is ideal to perform the first maintenance when the car has been driven between 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers, but it is recommended not to exceed six months of usage. When going for the first maintenance, bring the maintenance manual and the vehicle's registration certificate. Remember to have the 4S shop stamp the maintenance record each time, detailing the maintenance items and the date. This practice facilitates the next owner in viewing the vehicle's maintenance history when the car changes hands.

What does the auto hold function in a car mean?

The auto hold function in a car is an automatic braking feature. Once activated, it simplifies operation by eliminating the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake. In some car models, this function is labeled as AUTOHOLD on the button, while in others, it's represented by a pair of semicircles enclosing the letter A inside a circle. Despite the different styles, the function of the button remains the same. The auto hold feature is an extension of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and controls the braking of all four wheels through the ESP system. During this process, the ECU computer uses sensors installed on the vehicle to determine the vehicle's levelness and wheel torque, deciding whether braking is necessary to prevent rolling. The braking force applied to the wheels is not excessive, just enough to prevent the vehicle from moving, ensuring that when the accelerator is pressed again to move forward, there won't be a severe jerking motion.

How to Identify Fatigued Driving?

Methods to identify fatigued driving: Continuous driving of a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping for rest or stopping for less than 20 minutes is considered fatigued driving, which is determined through the driving recorders installed in passenger vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and semi-trailer tractors used for highway operations. Driving fatigue refers to the physiological and psychological dysfunction that occurs after prolonged continuous driving, objectively manifesting as a decline in driving skills. Drivers with poor or insufficient sleep quality and those who drive for extended periods are prone to fatigue. Driving fatigue affects various aspects such as the driver's attention, sensation, perception, thinking, judgment, willpower, decision-making, and movement.

Is 'off' in a car on or off?

In a car, 'off' means off, and 'on' means on. The 'off' light in a car mainly refers to ESP OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the risk of vehicle skidding and fishtailing. If the ESP OFF light on the car's dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the vehicle's Electronic Stability Program is either turned off or malfunctioning. If you accidentally press the ESP OFF button in the car, simply press it briefly again to reactivate the ESP. If the ESP OFF light is on due to a malfunction in the system itself, it should be promptly sent to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. There are many reasons that can cause the fault light to come on, such as circuit failure, sensor damage, incorrect signals from the electronic control unit, or a weak battery.
