The appearance of a red exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many dashboard indicator lights with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction in the vehicle. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, during daily vehicle use, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors, yellow and red, indicating different levels of severity: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system that is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair facility to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious issue in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over safely and seek professional assistance immediately to prevent unforeseen risks to the vehicle and personal safety. Note: When the vehicle is started, all lights will illuminate for an automatic system check and will turn off after the check is completed. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly to inspect and eliminate potential safety hazards.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the 2021 Elantra?

2021 Elantra's minimum ground clearance is 160 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the 2021 Elantra refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The higher the ground clearance of the 2021 Elantra, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The 2021 Elantra is a typical Korean car. The Elantra series offers models equipped with either a 1.6-liter or a 1.8-liter engine. The 1.6L model features an inline 4-cylinder double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 16-valve engine. The dimensions of the 2021 Elantra are 4680 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1415 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the 2021 Elantra is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in the ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the 2021 Elantra. When choosing a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The selection should depend on the vehicle's purpose and the road conditions. For urban areas with good road surfaces, vehicles with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, vehicles with higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid scraping or damaging the chassis.

How many points will be deducted for driving improperly on the highway?

When a motor vehicle is driven on the highway, driving or parking on the emergency lane in non-emergency situations will result in a deduction of 6 points according to the Road Traffic Safety Law and provincial road traffic safety regulations. Here are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Maintain a safe distance: While driving, do not get too close to the vehicle in front, as the faster the speed, the closer the following distance, the greater the possibility of a rear-end collision. Refer to the distance prompt signs to maintain a reasonable distance. Generally, if the speed is 100Km/h, the following distance should be more than 100m. 2. Avoid frequent lane changes: On the highway, never change lanes frequently, moving between the overtaking lane and the driving lane, as this can easily lead to accidents. 3. Avoid fatigued driving: If the driver feels drowsy, it is best to rest at the service area or exit the highway to rest to prevent accidents.

Do previous failed attempts count when switching from C1 to C2?

Previous failed attempts do count when switching from C1 to C2. Below is a detailed introduction to the materials required for motor vehicle driver's license replacement: 1. "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form": Requires personal signature; the original driver's license and the applicant's relevant documents. 2. Identity proof of the motor vehicle driver: If the applicant cannot be present, a jointly signed application form by the applicant and the agent, along with identity proofs (original and copies) of both, must be submitted. 3. Physical condition proof: A medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above. For applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. 4. Three photos of the motor vehicle driver: The photos must be recent (within the last 6 months), front-facing, full-color, passport-style with a white background, without uniforms, and showing the upper body of the applicant alone.

How Far Can You Drive When the Fuel Gauge Reaches the Red Line?

When the fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, there is approximately 10% of fuel left in the car's tank, allowing an average driving range of 20-60 kilometers. Here are some important notes about refueling your car: 1. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel: The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel can impair the pump's normal operation and shorten its lifespan. 2. It is not recommended to fill the tank completely: Gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into vapor under high summer temperatures, requiring space to accommodate these changes. If the tank is filled to the brim without any space, gasoline vapor or even liquid gasoline may enter the carbon canister for storage. Once the carbon canister is full, the excess will escape into the air, leading to both waste and environmental pollution. 3. Gauge deviation: After routine battery replacement, fuel filter changes, or even after the car has been parked overnight, you might notice that the fuel gauge needle is lower than its previous position upon restarting the vehicle, leading you to suspect a malfunction. However, this is a normal phenomenon. When the fuel pump operates, a negative pressure forms inside the fuel tank, reducing the tank's volume and causing the fuel level to appear higher. Additionally, the thermal expansion of gasoline due to temperature changes naturally shows a higher reading. When the temperature drops or the fuel tank is opened, the pressure is released, and the fuel level decreases accordingly. Therefore, such display deviations are normal.
