Driving with the handbrake engaged will accelerate wear on the vehicle's brake discs, cause the brake pads to overheat and harden, and stretch the handbrake cable, leading to reduced braking performance. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, functions to provide resistance when parking, locking the drive shaft or rear wheels to prevent the car from rolling on slopes. Precautions for using the handbrake include: 1. Pull the handbrake until the rear wheels lock, then lift it 1 to 2 notches further to ensure the car doesn't roll; 2. When parking on a slope, secure the car with the handbrake, then place bricks or other objects under the tires. Once the wheels are firmly fixed, release the handbrake to transfer the load to all four wheels, then engage the handbrake again so that both the wheels and the handbrake share the load.

What is the symbol for fog lights?

The symbol for fog lights consists of three light rays covered by a wavy line. The front fog light is indicated by a green symbol with the three lines on the left side, while the rear fog light is represented by a red symbol with the three lines on the right side. Fog lights are used in special weather conditions with poor visibility. The light from fog lights has strong penetrating power, allowing other drivers to see your vehicle in low-visibility weather and helping to avoid collisions. Fog lights do not serve as illumination; if the headlights malfunction, fog lights cannot be used as a substitute for headlight illumination. Fog lights are only equipped on some high-end models, and some vehicles may only have front fog lights without rear fog lights. Some entry-level versions of certain models do not come with fog lights at all. If fog lights are essential for you, you can opt for higher-trim models when purchasing a car. Nowadays, many vehicles also come with daytime running lights, which are used during daytime driving. Daytime running lights can enhance safety during daytime driving. Car lights are relatively prone to malfunctions, and in some models, fog lights may be poorly designed, making them susceptible to water ingress and failure during operation, requiring timely repairs.

When the right corner of the car touches the right sideline, straighten the steering wheel and proceed slowly forward; 4. When the left one-third of the engine hood meets the left sideline of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right, keeping the right corner of the car pressing against the right sideline of the right turn; 5. After the vehicle exits the curve, align the front of the car with the exit of the S-curve, straighten the steering wheel, and continue driving forward to exit the curve area.
