U-turn vehicles refer to ordinary vehicles that, during highway travel, have an entry toll station recorded on their pass that matches the current toll station. Such vehicles are termed U-turn vehicles. Correspondingly, there is also J-turn driving. Both of these behaviors are illegal, and highways in various regions impose different levels of penalties for them. More details are as follows: 1. Highway positioning: Highways are a type of road classified by technical grade, ranking above Class I, Class II, Class III, Class IV, and unclassified roads. Highways intersect with national or provincial highways in the road network hierarchy classification, meaning highways are part of the national or provincial highway network. 2. Highway driving precautions: When driving normally on a highway, vehicles in the same lane must maintain a sufficient safe distance based on speed, weather, and road conditions. Under normal conditions, when the speed is 100 km/h, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters; when the speed is below 100 km/h, the safe distance can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters.

U-shaped vehicles refer to models with a U-shaped body design, typically used in the commercial truck or engineering vehicle sector. I've seen many such vehicles busy at construction sites, where the U-shaped frame leaves the top of the cargo compartment wide open, allowing easy loading and unloading of goods from the sides or top, making them particularly suitable for transporting large equipment. The advantage lies in high space utilization, reducing the number of trips and saving time; however, the downside is a high drag coefficient, leading to significantly increased fuel consumption during high-speed cruising. Maintenance requires attention to whether the U-shaped chassis is balanced to avoid uneven force distribution causing component deformation. Related topics discuss practicality—compared to box trucks, U-shaped vehicles are less flexible in turning but offer stronger overall stability, especially performing well on rough terrain. Overall, this design is quite popular in the logistics industry, but daily driving requires attention to maintenance points.

Why can't the BMW 5 Series door be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside?

If the BMW 5 Series door cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside, it may be because the child lock is activated. Simply turn it off to resolve the issue. Introduction to the child lock: The car child lock, also known as the door lock child safety feature, is located on the rear door lock. When the rear door is opened, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the door lock. By sliding it toward the end with the child icon and then closing the door, the door can no longer be opened from the inside but only from the outside. Function of the child lock: Its purpose is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door while the car is in motion when seated in the rear, thereby avoiding danger. In this case, the door can only be opened by an adult from the outside after the car is parked.

What are the reasons for steering wheel vibration when braking in a BMW X5?

Steering wheel vibration when braking in a BMW X5 may be caused by uneven brake discs, aging engine mounts, tire aging, bulging, dirty throttle body, excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors, and other reasons. Brake disc wear or unevenness: Worn brake discs can cause vibration when braking. Solution: Resurface the brake discs or replace them with new ones. It is recommended to have them inspected at a 4S shop. Aging engine mounts: Car vibration can sometimes be related to aging engine mounts. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior, causing shaking at idle. Solution: Replace the engine mounts. Tire aging, deformation, or bulging: If the owner suspects that the tires are causing the vehicle to shake while driving, the simplest method is to carefully feel the tire tread with your hand. If the tread has a jagged pattern, it indicates that the tires have aged or deformed. Solution: Replace the tires with new ones. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors: A dirty throttle body can cause it not to close properly or the idle control motor to stick, both of which can result in high engine idle speed. Carbon buildup produced during engine operation can also cause vehicle vibration. Solution: Inspect the throttle body and fuel injectors. If the throttle body is found to be dirty or the fuel injectors have excessive carbon buildup, they should be cleaned promptly.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure in Cars?

Reasons for low tire pressure in cars: 1. Low temperature; 2. Air leakage in the tire; 3. Debris or improper installation of the tire edge with the wheel hub. The hazards of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; 3. Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, resulting in abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; 4. The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a rapid decrease in strength; 5. Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and causes excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the tire bead area.

Can 0w40 engine oil be used in summer?

0w40 engine oil can be used in summer. 0w40 engine oil is designed for use in temperatures ranging from -35 degrees to +40 degrees Celsius. However, if the local temperature is too high, it is not recommended to use it. According to the SAE lubricant viscosity classification, the winter-grade engine oil designations can be: 0w, 5w, 10w, 15w, 20w, 25w. The symbol 'w' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before 'w', the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. According to the SAE lubricant viscosity classification, the summer-grade engine oil designations can be: 20, 30, 40, 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity, and the higher the applicable maximum temperature.
