The sawtooth lane on the highway is a longitudinal speed bump, also known as a deceleration marking. As the name suggests, the main purpose of this lane is to prompt drivers to slow down in advance. This type of lane is usually set up before bridges, toll plaza areas, exit ramps, curves, slopes, and other locations. Additionally, some accident-prone areas may also feature this type of lane. Additional information: 1. Purpose of the sawtooth lane: Due to its unique design, the sawtooth lane creates an illusion for drivers that the lane is narrowing, inducing a sense of pressure and prompting them to slow down automatically in advance. By slowing down early, the probability of accidents caused by sudden braking or inadequate avoidance is significantly reduced. 2. Classification of deceleration markings: Deceleration markings are divided into horizontal deceleration markings and longitudinal deceleration markings. Horizontal deceleration markings consist of a set of parallel white dashed lines, while longitudinal deceleration markings consist of a set of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane boundary lines, starting at the beginning of the longitudinal deceleration markings.

What items are included in the first maintenance and inspection?

The first maintenance at a 4S shop includes the following aspects: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter; checking the fluid levels of various oils to ensure they are normal, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; checking the tire pressure for normal levels and examining the tires for uneven wear, bulges, or damage; inspecting the chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, CV joints, and checking for any scratches, etc.; examining all the switches in the vehicle; ensuring the lights are functioning properly. Estimated time: Completing all the work takes approximately 2 hours. Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle purchase invoice. Take these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's first maintenance. Note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven. The specific time varies by vehicle, generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It is essential to attend the first maintenance promptly, neither early nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven under standard load and normal speed as required by the vehicle. The first maintenance time is calculated based on the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. The following inspections and replacements must be completed during the first maintenance of a new car: changing the engine oil, cleaning the three filters (oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter); checking the coolant level to ensure it is normal; inspecting the vehicle's brake system and the level of the clutch fluid; checking the power steering fluid level for normal conditions and examining all fluid pipe connections for leaks; inspecting the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the condition of the belts for aging and tension; checking the tire pressure and wear condition, inflating the tires as needed, or performing tire rotation if wear is observed. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle User Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars themselves during holidays, washing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. It is important to note that the interior of the car should not be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, scrub them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many drainage holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's compartment. If water enters, it will not dry naturally but will flow through the drainage holes to areas like the transmission, causing corrosion. The best practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is low, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand from the beginning. Different brands of antifreeze have significantly different chemical properties. The corrosion inhibitors in one brand may corrode those in another. Therefore, do not mix different brands of antifreeze to avoid unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a car become rusty during driving, some people apply oil to make them work smoothly again. However, lubricating the bolts and nuts on the wheels can pose safety risks. At high speeds, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving failures. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a conventional car. Its fuel injection control system can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height of Changan CS55?

Changan CS55 headlight height adjustment method is as follows: The adjustment switch uses a roller adjustment, located on the left side of the cockpit. The roller is marked with numerical gears, where the height of the number indicates the height of the headlight—the higher the number, the higher the headlight position. Below is an introduction to the selection of light gears: 1. Position 0 is the initial position, usually when there is only the driver or the driver plus one front passenger in the car. 2. Position 1 is when all seats are occupied, and there is no cargo in the trunk. 3. Position 2 is when all seats are occupied, and the cargo weight in the trunk is evenly distributed. 4. Position 3 is when there is only the driver, and the cargo weight in the trunk is evenly distributed.

Why Does the Car Make Strange Noises and Fail to Start When Igniting?

Car ignition with strange noises and failure to start is due to car battery damage, fuel quality issues, adding water or using low-quality coolant, and excessive carbon buildup. Reasons for excessive carbon buildup: Gasoline contains impurities. When the car is turned off, the spark plug cuts off power, resulting in incomplete combustion of some combustible mixtures. The oil vapor in the crankcase forced ventilation system forms carbon deposits. Reasons for battery damage: Repeatedly starting or igniting the vehicle in a short period causes the battery to discharge large currents repeatedly. Due to driving skills, some car owners frequently stall while driving, leading to frequent starts. Otherwise, the battery frequently supplying strong current to the starter will cause its own wear. Additionally, not turning off the air conditioning when the engine is off.

What Are the Reasons for Steering Wheel Vibration at High Speeds?

Steering wheel vibration at high speeds may be caused by issues with the chassis suspension components, drivetrain system, or tire dynamic balance. Precautions for driving on highways: Avoid sudden stops on highways, pay attention to warning signs, and do not throw objects on the highway. When driving on highways, if overtaking is necessary, try to overtake from the left side. If the vehicle breaks down and requires stopping for repairs, turn on the right turn signal in advance to exit the driving lane, park in the emergency stop lane, turn on the hazard lights, and place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. The function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable.

Which provides better performance, 0W30 or 5W30?

Engine oil grades should be selected based on the vehicle model and condition. 5W40 oil is typically suitable for German cars, while 0W30 oil is suitable for domestic and American cars, as well as Japanese cars with over 150,000 miles. Therefore, these two oil grades are not directly comparable. Classification of engine oil quality from high to low: Full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. Full synthetic oil outperforms other oils in terms of power, noise reduction, cleanliness, and longevity. Many well-known brands offer full synthetic oils, with replacement intervals ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. High-end imported oils like GT Magic Red, which are PAO full synthetic oils, offer even better overall performance, with replacement intervals reaching up to 15,000 kilometers. Semi-synthetic oils have significantly poorer overall performance, with replacement intervals typically around 5,000 kilometers. Mineral oil is the lowest quality oil, containing more impurities and less refined, resulting in poor overall performance. Selection of oil viscosity: Oil viscosity should first be chosen based on the vehicle model and condition. With the exception of certain models, in most cases, Japanese cars use 20-grade oil, American and domestic cars use 30-grade oil, and German cars use 40-grade oil.

How to reset the tire pressure monitoring on Baojun 310?

Baojun 310 tire pressure monitoring reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly for a patch, then reinflate the tire; If the low tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation without any puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel hub. It is recommended to check the wheel hub and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety.
