What does 'trip' mean in a car?

Car 'trip' refers to the trip odometer, which can be used to record the mileage of each trip. The button on its left represents the vehicle's total mileage. The smallest unit of the trip odometer is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is the actual fuel consumption divided by the actual distance traveled, i.e., fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by distance traveled. Method to calculate fuel consumption: When filling up the tank for the first time (note that it must be a full tank), simultaneously reset the trip odometer to zero. Then, drive normally to accumulate mileage. When refueling next time, the current mileage (referred to as B) is the amount of fuel added next time (referred to as A, which must be a full tank). The amount of fuel added this time (A) divided by the current mileage (B) equals the actual fuel consumption.

I've been driving for over 20 years and use the trip function in my car very frequently. It's essentially a partial odometer used to record single trip distances. You can find it on every car's dashboard, with some vehicles featuring TRIP A and TRIP B that can simultaneously record two separate journeys. For instance, I reset the trip after filling up the tank, so I know exactly how many kilometers that tank of gas lasts when refueling next time. I always use this feature on long trips - it helps calculate fuel consumption and estimate remaining distance. Nowadays, some new cars can even display trip duration, average speed, and automatically count hard braking incidents. I remember my last 1,800-kilometer road trip where the trip function proved invaluable for segment recording.

How to Know if Anti-Skid is Turned On?

Here is an introduction about the activation status of anti-skid: 1. When stuck on unpaved roads or off-roading: When trapped in mud, sand, or snow, or when off-roading in harsh environments, if the drive wheels slip, the ESP will intervene to control power output, which is not conducive to escaping the situation and reduces the vehicle's ability to pass through difficult terrain. In such cases, you can manually turn off the ESP to improve the vehicle's passability. 2. When driving on icy or snowy roads: In cold regions where roads are covered with snow or ice, the traction of the vehicle's tires is significantly reduced. When going uphill or starting, the wheels are prone to slipping. In this scenario, the ESP will limit the engine's power output, which is not conducive to driving. You can try turning off the ESP before proceeding.

Why Doesn't Tesla Use Hydrogen Fuel Cells?

Tesla does not use hydrogen fuel cells due to difficulties in collection, high costs, and manufacturing challenges. Here is additional information: 1. How hydrogen fuel cells work: Hydrogen is delivered to the anode plate (negative electrode) of the fuel cell. Under the action of a catalyst (platinum), one electron is separated from the hydrogen atom. The hydrogen ion (proton), which has lost an electron, passes through the proton exchange membrane to reach the cathode plate (positive electrode) of the fuel cell. The electron cannot pass through the proton exchange membrane and can only reach the cathode plate through an external circuit, thereby generating current in the external circuit. After the electron reaches the cathode plate, it recombines with oxygen atoms and hydrogen ions to form water. 2. Power density of hydrogen fuel cells: Power density can be simply understood as the battery's ability to release an extremely large current in a short time (instantaneously). For vehicles, situations like "flooring the accelerator" for overtaking or sudden acceleration, or suddenly climbing a slope, are all "high power density demand" states. However, the physical characteristics of hydrogen fuel cells are high energy density but low power density.

What to Do When the Driver's License Expires?

Driving without renewing an expired driver's license is not allowed. You should go to the hospital for a physical examination to obtain a medical report, get a photo receipt at a photo studio, and then bring your driver's license and ID card to the vehicle management office to apply for a renewal. Any traffic violation records must be handled at the same time, and a new license will be issued according to regulations after processing. Introduction to Driver's License: A driver's license is a legal document for driving a vehicle, and it must be kept valid to drive. Whether the driver's license is lost or expired, driving is not permitted. If stopped by traffic police under such circumstances, it will be treated as driving without a license. Failure to renew an expired driver's license is considered overdue renewal, and the handling method varies depending on the duration of the delay. The most severe case is that the overdue driver's license will be directly invalidated and cannot be renewed. Driver's License Overdue Period: If the driver's license is overdue for less than one year, you can directly apply for renewal at the vehicle management office. Any traffic violation records must be handled while the driver's license is still valid. If the driver's license is overdue for more than one year but less than three years, you need to take the local subject one test. After passing the test, you can proceed with the normal renewal process; if you fail, you must retake the test until you pass. If the driver's license is overdue for more than three years, it will be invalidated and can no longer be used. To restart the driver's license, you must re-register and pass all driving tests from subject one onwards to obtain a new license.
