The correct usage of hazard warning lights is as follows: 1. When driving in foggy conditions, due to reduced visibility, you should not only turn on the hazard warning lights but also activate the fog lights to alert other vehicles. 2. In case of vehicle breakdown or traffic accidents on the road, hazard warning lights should be turned on to warn passing vehicles for safety. On highways, failure to use lights and set up warning signs properly after a breakdown or accident will result in a 12-point penalty. 3. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on the hazard warning lights to indicate their abnormal status. 4. When temporarily parked on the road, turn on the hazard warning lights to alert other vehicles. 5. When forming a convoy as permitted by traffic authorities, all vehicles in the convoy should activate their hazard warning lights.

How often should sedan tires be replaced?

Here is the introduction to the service life of sedan tires: 1. The service life of car tires is four years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If the tires have no issues but have been in service for four years, they should be replaced even if the mileage hasn't reached 80,000 kilometers. Similarly, if the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers before four years, the tires should also be replaced. 2. If there are fine cracks on the side of the tire, it should be replaced immediately. 3. The lifespan of a tire should not exceed five years, calculated from the date of manufacture. Even if the tire appears to be in good condition after five years, it should be replaced. Aging tires lose their original elasticity, and continued driving can cause the tire to deform, leading to the risk of a blowout.

How to Deal with Engine Belt Slippage?

If the vehicle's belt is slipping, it can first be adjusted. If adjustment is not possible, it should be replaced immediately. The methods for adjusting the belt are as follows: 1. For slippage caused by belt looseness, pouring water on the belt can solve the problem. 2. For belt slippage due to aging, after adjusting the tightness, apply some belt oil. 3. If the issue is not due to the above reasons, immediately go to a professional auto repair shop and consult with the staff, following their advice. After prolonged use, the belt undergoes millions of twists and torsional deformations, which can easily lead to severe wear. This is a normal phenomenon.

Which gear should be engaged when charging the car at idle speed?

When charging the vehicle at idle speed in place, the gear selection should be determined based on specific conditions: 1. When charging the vehicle battery at idle speed on a flat surface without any slope, no other gear needs to be engaged. 2. When parking, the P gear should be engaged. Both the N gear and P gear in an automatic transmission are neutral gears, but the P gear has an additional parking function to prevent the vehicle from sliding. 3. When charging at idle speed on a sloped road, the mechanical handbrake should be tightly engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling. 4. If the vehicle is parked for a long time, it is best to disconnect the negative cable of the battery to reduce power consumption. The battery can be charged monthly using a charger, or the engine can be started to idle for 20 minutes every week to prevent the battery from losing power.

How to Set Up Automatic Folding of Rearview Mirrors When Locking the Car?

When the driver locks the car, the rearview mirrors automatically fold in. This not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space, effectively avoiding scratches. Additionally, it prevents pedestrians from colliding with the mirrors, which could cause injury or damage to the mirrors. Below are the methods to set up automatic folding of rearview mirrors: 1. If the vehicle is equipped with a rearview mirror folding button, pressing this button will enable the exterior mirrors to fold automatically when the car is locked. 2. The folding function can also be activated through the multimedia interface. You can choose to have the mirrors fold automatically when locking the car in the vehicle settings or use the remote control button to fold them separately.

What does the engine icon on the car dashboard indicate as a fault?

When the engine icon appears on the car dashboard, it indicates an engine fault. Below are specific details about the engine icon displayed on the dashboard: 1. In a normal vehicle, when the key is turned to the ON position, the engine fault light on the dashboard will illuminate and automatically turn off after the car starts. 2. If the engine icon remains lit after the vehicle starts, it signifies an engine fault. 3. The engine fault signal is issued by the ECU (Engine Control Unit), which controls all electronic components of the engine, including the electronic throttle, fuel injectors, alternator, fuel pump, etc., covering various systems such as intake, exhaust, fuel, ignition, and timing.

What are the precautions for automatic transmission cars?

There are four main precautions for automatic transmission cars: 1. Gear shifting during driving: Automatic transmission cars have protection and interlock for dangerous actions. 2. Rolling back on slopes: If an automatic transmission car is parked on a steep slope where gravity exceeds the power "margin" at idle, the car may roll back. Therefore, the handbrake should be used when starting. 3. Do not coast in neutral: Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission. 4. Pay attention to parking gear: When parking or idling for a long time in an automatic transmission car, first press the brake, shift to N gear, then engage the handbrake and release the brake pedal. Once the car is completely stopped, shift to P gear.
