Here are the differences between automatic headlights and low beam headlights: 1. Different activation methods: Automatic headlights will automatically turn on based on the brightness of external light; Low beam headlights need to be manually turned on to be used; 2. Different functions: Automatic headlights are equipped with a light-sensitive control system on the front headlights. When the light-sensitive control system detects that the external light intensity is greater or less than a certain value, it will automatically turn on or off; Low beam headlights are designed for close-range illumination. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions.

I've been driving for over twenty years, transitioning from manual transmission old cars to today's automatics, and I'm quite experienced with lights. The 'auto' light refers to the automatic headlight function, which turns on the low beams based on ambient light conditions, such as at dusk or when entering a tunnel, and turns them off when it's bright enough, saving you the hassle of manual operation. Low beams, on the other hand, are the vehicle's basic lighting, essential for night driving or in dimly lit areas, illuminating the road ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic. The key difference is that one intelligently controls the entire switching process, while the other requires manual operation. Auto mode has saved me from forgetting to turn on the lights, a mistake that nearly caused an accident during rainy weather in the past. Nowadays, most new cars come with this feature, and I recommend using it to enhance both safety and convenience.

Will engine oil normally decrease?

Under normal circumstances, engine oil will decrease. Engine lubrication primarily involves pressure lubrication and splash lubrication. During operation, factors such as pressure changes, high temperatures, and heat dissipation can cause oil volatilization and additive depletion, leading to a gradual reduction in oil volume, though the amount is minimal. Below are specific methods for selecting engine oil for vehicles: 1. Performance selection: If you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, Mobil oil is a good choice; if you focus on engine cleanliness, Shell lubricants can be used; for lubricants with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, older vehicles, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricant can be appropriately increased. 3. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably full synthetic oil.

Can a Level 3 Flood-Damaged Car Be Repaired and Driven on Highways?

A Level 3 flood-damaged car cannot be repaired and driven on highways. If a car has suffered Level 3 flood damage, it is considered severely water-damaged. Generally, it is not recommended to repair such vehicles, as they not only incur high repair costs but also pose significant safety risks even after repairs. These vehicles should be scrapped directly. Below is an introduction to flood damage levels: 1. Level 1 flood damage: At this level, the car has only suffered minor water damage, with minimal harm to the engine, electrical circuits, and other equipment. In most cases, the car can be repaired without major issues. 2. Level 2 flood damage: The condition of the car is more complex at this stage. A thorough inspection of various components and wiring is required. Repairs may involve replacing many parts, being labor-intensive, having a higher likelihood of future failures, and incurring substantial repair costs. 3. Level 3 flood damage: At this level, the car is considered severely water-damaged. Repair is generally not advised due to the high costs and significant safety risks involved. Such vehicles should be scrapped directly.

Why is there no sound when playing music after Lynk & Co Bluetooth connection?

Lynk & Co Bluetooth connection has no sound when playing music for the following reasons: 1. Abnormal operation of mobile phone Bluetooth: High background resource usage on the mobile phone may cause the Bluetooth function to malfunction, and after connecting to the car's system via Bluetooth, the phone audio cannot be played through the sound system. Restart the phone and try reconnecting to the vehicle. 2. Improper playback source settings: After the mobile phone Bluetooth is connected to the car's system, the playback source needs to be correctly configured in the car's system to use the vehicle's sound system to play Bluetooth music from the phone. Set the media playback source to Bluetooth playback in the car's system, which can be done by the owner. 3. Incompatibility of the car's system: If the car's system is not well-developed and operates unstably, it may cause abnormal Bluetooth function, resulting in intermittent Bluetooth connections, playback stuttering, or inability to play normally.

Where is the engine number located on the Foton pickup truck engine?

The engine number of Foton vehicles is located on the lower right side of the engine, specifically below the exhaust manifold near the transmission. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and English letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually printed on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The purchase invoice will specify the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's product line, and engine models can be identical. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique number and no two engines share the same number.

What is the difference between tubeless tires and run-flat tires?

Here are the differences between run-flat tires and tubeless tires: 1. Durability: Run-flat tires have an additional layer of naturally renewable rubber developed through nanotechnology on the sidewalls compared to tubeless tires, making them more durable. 2. Wear resistance: When a tire blows out for various reasons, run-flat tires can still be driven normally for a certain distance without exploding immediately; tubeless tires can also be driven normally after losing air because they leak very slowly. 3. Safety: In terms of safety coefficient, run-flat tires are definitely superior to tubeless tires. Run-flat tires place very high demands on the vehicle's shock absorption system, so when using run-flat tires, the car's shock absorption system must also be scrutinized.
