This is the handbrake indicator light. If the handbrake is not released, this symbol will appear to remind the driver to release the handbrake. This indicator is used to display the status of the vehicle's handbrake. Normally, it is off. When the handbrake is pulled up, the indicator automatically lights up, and when the handbrake is released, the indicator automatically turns off. The following is an introduction to Honda: 1. Introduction 1: Honda (Honda Motor Co., Ltd.) is a Japanese multinational company specializing in transportation equipment and machinery manufacturing. The company was founded by Soichiro Honda in September 1948 in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. It is the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer and the world's largest internal combustion engine manufacturer. 2. Introduction 2: Its main businesses include the production of automobiles, motorcycles, engines, aircraft, and power equipment. On August 2, 2021, Honda ranked 48th on the 2021 Fortune Global 500 list.

I've been driving for decades, and that illuminated 'P' with a circle and brackets on Honda cars usually indicates a problem with the parking brake or that it hasn't been released. If it stays on while driving, the parking brake might be stuck, there could be insufficient brake fluid, or a sensor might be faulty. Once, I forgot to release the brake on a long trip, and the light stayed on—luckily, I noticed it in time and nothing happened. Such issues need immediate attention; driving at high speeds for too long can increase fuel consumption or pose safety risks. For safety, it's best to pull over and check the dashboard indicators. If the light remains on even after releasing the brake, check the brake fluid or take the car to a repair shop for a system check. Developing a habit of fully releasing the brake when parking can help prevent such issues. In short, don't ignore this warning light—it alerts you to critical safety concerns.

It means there are currently no violations and no points deducted. The consequences of point deductions are: 1. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations is 12 months: The full score is 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the accumulated points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next cycle. 2. License suspension: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the public security traffic management department will suspend their driver's license. The motor vehicle driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to receive seven days of education on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, and must take the subject one exam. 3.

How to Deal with Water in a Car Engine?

Here are the steps to handle water in a car engine: 1. Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the fuel supply and ignition systems, then use the starter to crank the engine and expel the water. 2. Inspect the fluids in all vehicle systems; if foaming or cloudiness is observed, replace them promptly. 3. After inspection, use compressed air to clean the electrical connectors in the engine compartment to prevent water corrosion. 4. Once cleaning is complete, conduct a road test to ensure the engine operates without abnormal noises during driving. 5. If there are noticeable driving noises, check the engine bearings and rotating components. If the engine fails to turn over after removing the spark plugs, it indicates the engine is seized and must be taken to a repair shop for servicing.

What are the symptoms of camshaft noise?

The symptom of camshaft noise is the sound emitted between the camshaft bearings and the shaft during engine operation. It is a rhythmic, dull metallic knocking sound. The noise is more noticeable when idling or at slightly higher idle speeds, and can be heard at various camshaft bearing locations. The camshaft is a component in piston engines. Due to its high rotational speed and the need to withstand significant torque, the design imposes stringent requirements on the strength and support of the camshaft. Its material is typically high-quality alloy steel or special alloy steel. The following are the causes of camshaft noise: 1. Excessive clearance between the camshaft and its bushings. 2. Rotation of the camshaft bushings. 3. Bending deformation of the camshaft. 4. Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft. 5. Burning or detachment of the camshaft bushing alloy.
