In summer, small cars generally require the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts.

What are the reasons for the engine warning light in the Baojun 510?

Sensor issues, engine misfire, car maintenance problems, fuel quality issues, poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, engine intake problems, turbocharging issues, exhaust problems, and anti-theft system malfunctions are the main reasons for the engine warning light in the Baojun 510. Additionally, when starting the car, the vehicle performs a self-check on the engine system. Normally, the engine warning light will turn off after the self-check is completed. If it remains on for an extended period, you should promptly visit a repair station to seek professional help and eliminate potential safety hazards. Below is a detailed explanation of each type of fault: Sensor Issues: Sensors include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which triggers the engine warning light. Solution: If such issues occur, visit a repair center promptly for professional inspection to eliminate safety hazards. Maintenance Issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light. Vehicles have specific maintenance cycles. If maintenance is not performed on schedule, combined with poor driving habits, the engine's operational burden increases, eventually causing the engine warning light to illuminate as a reminder of a fault. Solution: Follow the maintenance schedule in your car's manual, either by time or mileage, to ensure comprehensive maintenance and eliminate non-maintenance-related issues. Fuel Quality Issues: This includes both fuel and engine oil. The fuel used in cars typically has a specific octane rating, and engine oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers usually recommend the type of fuel and engine oil to use. If the owner fails to follow these recommendations, long-term use can lead to engine wear, triggering the warning light. Solution: Use the recommended fuel octane rating and appropriate engine oil for your vehicle. Poor Combustion of Air-Fuel Mixture: Faulty spark plugs, fuel pump issues, or clogged fuel lines can lead to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This results in engine carbon buildup or knocking, which the oxygen sensor detects and reports to the ECU, causing the warning light to illuminate. Intake Issues: During combustion, the engine requires air intake, making the air filter crucial. If the air filter is dirty or not cleaned regularly, it can affect air intake, potentially leading to blockages and triggering the engine warning light. Solution: Regularly clean or replace the air filter to ensure the intake system functions properly. Turbocharging Issues: Problems with the intake turbocharging system or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Solution: Visit a 4S shop to inspect and replace the turbocharger. Often, repairs are not cost-effective, so replacing the part is the better option. Exhaust Issues: Rear oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, exhaust camshafts, and bearings can cause the warning light. The most common issue is a faulty catalytic converter, often due to physical damage or fuel system problems. Solution: Use lead- or silicon-based lubricants to maintain and clean the catalytic converter. Anti-Theft System: If the car's anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller is incompatible with the engine ECU, the engine may not function properly, and the warning light will illuminate. Solution: Visit a professional repair shop for a system check, as this issue cannot be fixed individually. Engine Misfire: This occurs when one or more cylinders fail to work or perform poorly, leading to symptoms like reduced power, difficulty starting, or unstable idling. Solution: First, identify which cylinder's components are faulty and replace them. If internal mechanical damage is present, a major repair at a professional shop is necessary.

What are the components of a friction plate clutch?

Friction clutches are the most widely used and historically longest-standing type of clutch. They are primarily composed of four main parts: the driving section, the driven section, the pressure mechanism, and the operating mechanism. The driving and driven sections along with the pressure mechanism form the basic structure that ensures the clutch remains engaged and transmits power, while the operating mechanism primarily functions to disengage the clutch. The clutch serves to transmit and cut off power, requiring it to smoothly transfer power during vehicle startup and to quickly cut off power during gear shifting or braking. Additionally, the clutch has an auxiliary function of preventing overload in the transmission system. The driving section includes the flywheel, clutch cover, and pressure plate; the driven section consists of the driven disc (commonly known as the clutch plate) assembly and the driven disc; the pressure device comprises several circumferentially arranged coil springs (or diaphragm springs); the operating mechanism includes the pedal, pedal lever, release fork, release sleeve with thrust bearing, and release levers. The performance requirements for friction clutches are as follows: Reliable operation with a long service life; Sufficient torque transmission capacity; Smooth and gentle engagement, rapid and thorough disengagement without "dragging" phenomena; Good heat dissipation performance; Balanced internal forces to avoid affecting the normal operation of the main engine or gearbox; Simple structure and easy maintenance.

Why can't I pass the color weakness test for the 6-year license renewal physical examination?

For the six-year driver's license renewal physical examination, individuals with color weakness can normally renew their license. According to relevant national laws, only those with red-green color blindness are prohibited from obtaining a driver's license. Here is the relevant information: Generally, if the color weakness is mild and the individual can distinguish between red and green, they can obtain a driver's license. However, if the color weakness is severe, a hospital examination and evaluation are required for a comprehensive assessment to determine eligibility for a driver's license. Color weakness, also known as "anomalous trichromacy," is a color vision deficiency. Individuals with color weakness can recognize colors but have lower sensitivity. They may struggle to distinguish colors unless they are highly saturated and may only detect hue changes when there is a significant difference in wavelength. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementing regulations stipulate that applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must meet the prescribed licensing conditions. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 111) explicitly states that applicants must not have red-green color blindness. Color weakness is not the same as color blindness. As long as the applicant does not have red-green color blindness, they can pass the driver's license physical examination. Those with mild color weakness who can distinguish between red and green can apply for a license renewal, provided they submit a medical examination certificate. The red-green color blindness test during the physical examination aims to prevent traffic accidents caused by running red lights.

Will points be deducted for parallel parking exceeding 50 centimeters?

Parallel parking exceeding 50 centimeters is considered unqualified. For Subject 2 (hill start) and illegal parking in Subject 3, the vehicle must align within 30 centimeters of the curb. If the roadside parking exceeds 50 centimeters, it results in immediate failure. Parking within 30 centimeters without crossing the line will not incur penalties. Roadside parking penalty standards: 1. Before parking, failing to observe the rear and right-side traffic conditions through interior and exterior rearview mirrors and confirm safety by looking back results in a 100-point deduction. 2. After the examiner issues the roadside parking command, failing to park within the specified distance results in a 100-point deduction. 3. After parking, if the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or sidewalk, a 100-point deduction is applied. 4. When exiting the vehicle, failing to observe the left rear traffic conditions before opening the door results in a 100-point deduction. 5. Not closing the car door after exiting results in a 100-point deduction. 6. After parking, if the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge of the road or sidewalk exceeds 50 cm, a 100-point deduction is applied. 7. After parking, if the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge of the road or sidewalk exceeds 30 cm but is less than 50 cm, a 10-point deduction is applied. 8. After parking, failing to engage the parking brake results in a 10-point deduction. 9. Releasing the foot brake before engaging the parking brake results in a 10-point deduction. 10. Failing to turn off the engine before exiting the vehicle results in a 5-point deduction.

What are the penalties for driving in the wrong direction on a highway in 2021?

According to Article 25 of the "Highway Traffic Management Regulations of the People's Republic of China": Reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn or turn across the central divider on a highway will result in a deduction of 12 points, a fine, and may also lead to the suspension of the driver's license for twelve months. Below are precautions for driving on highways: 1. Check the car before entering the highway: Before entering the highway, inspect the car's braking system, tire pressure, and wear to avoid emergency braking failure. Both under-inflated and over-inflated tires are detrimental to high-speed driving and can easily lead to blowouts, which can be fatal. Therefore, thorough vehicle inspection is essential. 2. Fasten seat belts: Seat belts should be worn whether driving on regular roads or highways. Passengers in the rear seats should also wear seat belts during high-speed driving. 3. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. When overtaking, promptly return to your lane after completing the maneuver and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, emergency lanes should not be occupied without special reasons. 4. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known and can lead to irreversible consequences, whether on local roads or highways. 5. Be cautious when overtaking: Always signal before overtaking on a highway, use the overtaking lane, and avoid the bad habit of overtaking from the right. After signaling, do not overtake immediately; check the rear traffic conditions first. When conditions permit, accelerate and maintain a lateral distance of about 1.5 meters from the vehicle ahead. After overtaking, leave sufficient distance before merging back into the lane to avoid rear-end collisions. 6. Maintain longitudinal distance between vehicles: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the distance (in meters) between vehicles should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, the distance should be at least 80 meters; at 100 km/h, at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet road conditions, the distance should be doubled. 7. Observe traffic signs: Always pay attention to roadside and overhead signs and markings, and drive slightly to the right to avoid running over the right lane divider, providing enough lateral distance for overtaking vehicles. 8. Do not arbitrarily occupy the emergency lane in case of accidents: Traffic accidents are inevitable on highways. If other vehicles cause blockages, do not occupy the emergency lane, as this may hinder rescue operations. 9. Avoid fatigued driving and take timely breaks: Fatigued driving is extremely dangerous on highways. Fatigue reduces reaction time, making it difficult to respond correctly to emergencies.

How many days does it take to receive a notification after running a red light?

After running a red light, the notification of the violation captured by surveillance cameras is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest within about 13 days. However, some cities have now introduced "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not equate to a violation; it serves only as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately; there is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center. It is then compiled and handed over to the relevant traffic police personnel for verification. Once the violation is confirmed, the system automatically queries the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information. Only then is the violation sent to the owner via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must handle the matter at the local traffic police department or online within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for querying traffic violations: Traffic violation queries refer to checking a motor vehicle's violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for querying vehicle violations include vehicle violation websites, phone queries, SMS queries, mobile apps, and offline terminal queries. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input the vehicle information to check. Phone query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the location of the violation. SMS query: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter "WZ" followed by the license plate number and color in the message body; send it to 1062650001. Mobile app query: For iOS systems, open the Traffic Management 12123 app (iOS 15 or above, version V2.8.1B437, or Android 12 or above, version V2.8.1B274), select "violation query," and clear any unresolved violations. Offline terminal query: Visit the local traffic police hall and use the self-service query machine to input the license plate number and check recent violation records.
