The new Sylphy's foot brake, if accidentally pressed at high speed, will cause a sudden drop in vehicle speed, causing passengers and unsecured items inside the car to lurch forward, and there is a possibility of rear-end collisions due to other vehicles' delayed reactions. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a slow speed while driving to better handle unexpected situations. The new Sylphy is a family sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, which has won consumer favor with its rich configurations. The new Sylphy is equipped with a 2.0-liter MR20DE engine paired with the new-generation XTRONIC CVT continuously variable transmission, offering seamless power delivery and excellent fuel efficiency, delivering a super-technological driving experience. The CVT transmission in the new Sylphy is 50% more energy-efficient compared to conventional transmissions.

I've seen many drivers mistakenly press the parking brake pedal while driving the new Sylphy. If you suddenly step on that left-foot parking pedal at high speed, the rear wheels will lock up instantly. When the speed exceeds 80 km/h, the entire car will fishtail violently like being yanked by the tail, making the steering wheel uncontrollable. With bad luck, it may sideswipe the guardrail. The airbags will likely deploy, and passengers can be thrown around violently. A friend of mine did this last year, costing over 20,000 yuan in repairs. So always remember: the leftmost pedal is for parking only—just use your right foot for the brake and accelerator while driving.

Can I Buy a Car Without a Driver's License?

You can buy a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive the car on the road after purchase, as driving without a license is illegal. When registering the car after purchase, a driver's license is not required. To register a new car, you will need an ID card, certificate of conformity, purchase invoice, proof of purchase tax payment, insurance policy, etc. At the vehicle management office, staff will inspect the vehicle and take photos. After registration, the owner will receive the vehicle registration certificate and the vehicle license. The registration certificate is like the car's household register, while the vehicle license is its ID card. The vehicle license must be carried in the car at all times, but the registration certificate is not recommended to be kept in the car—it's better to store it at home. When driving, you must carry both your driver's license and vehicle license. After obtaining your driver's license, it's advisable to have an experienced driver accompany you in the passenger seat when you start driving. During the probationary period, you are not allowed to drive on highways alone.

What are the penalties for drunk driving with a BAC below 20?

There are no corresponding penalties for drunk driving with a BAC below 20, and no action is required. Sometimes, traffic police may advise the driver to find a friend to drive instead, as driving after drinking can inevitably have some effects, such as drowsiness, visual impairment, reduced judgment and operational abilities, and decreased tactile sensitivity. According to the thresholds and testing regulations for blood and breath alcohol content in drunk driving issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China: drunk driving refers to driving behavior where the driver's blood alcohol content is greater than or equal to 20mg per 100ml of blood but less than 80mg. Drunk driving with a BAC of 80mg or more per 100ml of blood is considered a more severe offense.

Can Auto Loans Be Repaid Early?

Auto loans can be repaid early. Currently, there are two types of auto loans available: interest-free loans and loans with interest. Generally, loan contracts include clauses regarding early repayment, and it is usually possible to repay the loan early by paying a certain penalty fee. Of course, to attract consumers, many 4S dealerships now offer interest-free loans, and most of these interest-free loans do not require a penalty fee for early repayment. According to bank regulations, customers who wish to repay their loans early need to submit a written application one week to one month in advance and agree on a repayment date. On the agreed date, they must bring their ID card and the loan contract signed with the bank to fill out a loan repayment application and an early repayment agreement. The required repayment amount must then be deposited into the account designated for loan principal and interest deductions, from which the bank will automatically deduct the payment.

How to Remove the Malfunction Indicator Light?

Methods to remove the malfunction indicator light: When the malfunction light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times in a row, or you can disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. When the engine malfunction light is on, it cannot be manually reset. Usually, you need to go to a 4S shop and use a fault diagnostic tool to troubleshoot before it can be reset. This trick only applies to false engine fault phenomena. If it doesn't work, you need to go to a professional repair shop for inspection and reset. If the malfunction light is on but there are no abnormal driving conditions, this may just be a sensor malfunction. In this case, you can continue driving temporarily, but it is recommended to drive at low to medium speeds and immediately go to an auto repair shop for inspection and repair.
