The differences between part-time 4WD and on-demand 4WD are as follows: 1. Different driving modes: Part-time 4WD is a manually switched driving mode, where the driver can choose between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive by engaging or disengaging the transfer case. On-demand 4WD, also known as real-time 4WD, is a technology developed in recent years, where the switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive is controlled by a computer chip. 2. Different applicable road conditions: Part-time 4WD has strong off-road capabilities, but when there is a speed difference between the front and rear wheels, it can only rely on tire slippage to absorb the speed difference. On-demand 4WD is more suitable for roads with average or good conditions, and it can improve the vehicle's handling performance when facing sudden slippage or uneven surfaces.

What Causes Both the ABS Anti-Slip and Tire Pressure Lights to Illuminate Simultaneously?

Reason: The issue is caused by a malfunction in the vehicle's electronic control system. Solution: Promptly visit the car's 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to inspect the vehicle's electronic control system. Using a diagnostic computer to check the electronic control codes will resolve the problem of the ABS light illuminating. Tire Pressure Monitoring Light: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of this light indicates abnormal tire pressure. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset promptly, it continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will activate. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new components.

What lights should be used when driving closely behind another car at night?

When driving closely behind another car at night, you should turn on the low beam headlights. The hazards of improper use of lights during night driving: When driving at night, high beams can cause temporary blindness to oncoming drivers. The duration of this blindness varies depending on the driver's own vision and surrounding environment, but it typically lasts at least 2 seconds. Poor visibility at night means the human eye's ability to judge the speed of oncoming vehicles is compromised. In such conditions, the interference from high beams further reduces this judgment capability. When a following vehicle uses high beams, large areas of glare appear in all three rearview mirrors of the leading vehicle, significantly reducing the driver's view of the road ahead. If the leading vehicle attempts to change lanes or turn at this moment, it becomes impossible to observe the situation behind through the rearview mirrors.

How Long Does It Take to Get License Plates After Vehicle Inspection?

Generally, it takes 5-7 days to receive the license plates after the vehicle inspection. The specific details are as follows: Typically, after completing the inspection, the vehicle owner can proceed to the new vehicle service hall to handle the relevant license plate registration procedures. The exact time required depends on the region and the volume of applicants. In some regions with high efficiency and fewer applicants, license plates can be obtained on the same day, as the production of license plates only takes about half an hour. However, for vehicle management offices with a high volume of applicants or lower efficiency, it may take 5-7 working days to receive the license plates. Relevant information is as follows: Normally, after completing the license plate registration procedures at the vehicle management office, the vehicle registration certificate information can usually be queried the next day, as the vehicle registration certificate is typically issued together with the license plates. Although theoretically, the vehicle registration certificate can only be processed after the license plates are installed (since it requires a photo of the vehicle with the license plates), in today's era of big data, vehicle management office staff often use photo editing to superimpose the license plates onto the vehicle photo to allow users to drive their new vehicles legally and conveniently as soon as possible.

Why Does the Headlight Beam of a Vehicle Leave the Road Surface at Night?

When the headlight beam of a vehicle leaves the road surface at night, possible road conditions ahead include sharp turns, large potholes, or reaching the crest of a slope. The following methods can help judge road conditions and terrain when driving with headlights at night: If you notice the headlight beam's illumination distance changing from far to near: The road ahead may be entering a curve with mountains or barriers on one side, reaching the low point of a slope, or approaching/entering an uphill section. If you notice the headlight beam's illumination distance changing from near to far: The road ahead may be transitioning from a curve to a straight section, entering a downhill slope, changing from a gentle to steep downhill, or moving from a downhill section onto level ground. When the headlight beam shifts from the center to the side of the road: The road ahead may be a typical curve or a series of curves. In the case of continuous curves, the headlight beam will correspondingly shift from one side of the road to the other.

What Causes All Vehicle Lights to Suddenly Go Out During Night Driving?

Night driving all vehicle lights suddenly go out is due to main power supply issues, requiring inspection of all power contact points and the ignition switch. Relevant information is as follows: When all vehicle lights suddenly go out during night driving, attempt to activate the hazard warning flashers, gradually reduce speed, and pull over to the side of the road. Even if hazard warning flashers cannot be activated, avoid sudden braking to prevent rear-end collisions. Night driving precautions: Speed: Whether driving during the day or night, speed is a critical factor to monitor. However, nighttime speeds should generally be slower than daytime speeds. Lights: During night driving, both front and rear lights of the vehicle must be turned on. Front lights help you see objects on both sides, while rear lights ensure others can see you. When turning, if there is a vehicle behind, activate the turn signal in advance to avoid rear-end collisions. Increase following distance: Drivers at night have limited visibility compared to daytime and often encounter dangerous or emergency situations. Therefore, drivers must be prepared to stop at any moment. To mitigate risks, it is advisable to increase the following distance to prevent collisions between vehicles.
