The differences between plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles are: 1. Different charging methods: Plug-in hybrids can be charged in pure electric mode; hybrid electric vehicles are not charged in pure electric mode. 2. Different power sources: The power source of plug-in hybrids is the battery; the power source of hybrid electric vehicles is mainly gasoline, with electricity serving only as an auxiliary function. The principle of plug-in hybrids is to charge the battery pack through plug-in charging, allowing the electric motor and gasoline engine to drive the vehicle simultaneously or in pure electric mode, thereby reducing fuel consumption and air pollution. The principle of hybrid electric vehicles is to power the car through the combined work of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor, thus driving the vehicle.

How many points will be deducted for not wearing a seat belt in the passenger seat?

For the behavior of the passenger not wearing a seat belt, whether caught by traffic police on-site or recorded by electronic violation monitoring systems, only a fine will be imposed without deducting points. The offender will be criticized and required to rectify the behavior. Correct way to wear a seat belt: The three-point lap belt should be fastened at the hips, not the waist, and the position should be as low as possible. The seat should not be too reclined to ensure the seat belt can provide effective protection. Precautions for using seat belts: Regularly check the technical condition of the seat belt, and replace any damaged belts promptly. Do not place the seat belt over fragile items, such as glass (breakable) ornaments, and avoid pressing it against the skin to prevent injury from broken ornaments when the seat belt is in use. Additionally, seat belts should not be shared; each person should use only one seat belt.

Convenience: The remote control range is typically no less than 50 meters, allowing users to start the engine remotely from home or the office if the vehicle is parked in a ground-level parking lot. 3. Automatic timing: If no operation is performed after a certain period following a remote start, the engine will automatically shut off, preventing potential fuel wastage due to forgetting to turn it off. 4. Full vehicle heating: This function, similar to the parking heater, warms up the coolant in the radiator, ensuring effective heating for the cabin, engine, and windows.

What is the optimal angle for adjusting driving posture?

The optimal angles for adjusting driving posture are as follows: 1. Natural bend between thighs and calves: Adjust the seat's front and rear position so that when your right foot fully depresses the brake pedal, clutch pedal, and accelerator, there's a natural bend between your thighs and calves. This ensures proper seating position. 2. 8-degree angle between backrest and vertical direction: The ideal seat angle is approximately 8 degrees between the backrest and vertical direction (though precise measurement isn't necessary). Avoid reclining like sitting in a wicker chair as it's dangerous. Seat height should allow full leg leverage while maintaining comfort - not too high. The standard distance is achieved when holding the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock positions with slightly bent arms. Adjustment method: Extend arms parallel forward onto the steering wheel top, adjust wheel height until arms align with shoulders, then lock the wheel for proper distance.
