How to Turn on the Wiper of a Pickup Truck?

The lever on the left side of the steering wheel: push forward for the right turn signal, pull backward for the left turn signal. The lever on the right side of the steering wheel: pull backward to the first position for slow wiper speed, and to the second position for fast wiper speed. Additional information is as follows: 1. How often should wipers be replaced: Wipers are consumable items and generally need to be replaced every 1-2 years. In rainy areas, it is recommended to replace them every six months. Under normal conditions, the lifespan of wipers is about one year. If the climate is particularly harsh, such as with large temperature differences or high UV intensity, the lifespan may be shortened. Regular inspections are advised—don’t neglect small issues that could lead to bigger problems. 2. How to check if wipers need replacement by touch: Lift the wiper and run your fingers over the cleaned rubber blade to check for damage and the elasticity of the rubber. If the blade is aged, hardened, or cracked, the wiper is no longer effective and should be replaced promptly.

How is the first-year insurance calculated for a used car?

For the first year of used car insurance, the calculation is based on the basic premium rate, which neither increases nor decreases. Below are the methods regarding the adjustment of compulsory traffic insurance premium rates: 1. First-time: For vehicles insured with compulsory traffic insurance for the first time, the premium rate does not adjust. 2. Insurance period: During the insurance period, if the ownership of the insured vehicle is transferred, the compulsory traffic insurance contract must be amended, and the premium rate does not adjust. 3. Temporary road use: For vehicles temporarily used on roads or foreign vehicles temporarily entering the country with short-term compulsory traffic insurance, the premium rate does not adjust. In other cases of short-term compulsory traffic insurance, the adjustment is based on the short-term benchmark premium rate and follows the above standards. 4.

What is the U1001 fault code?

When a car experiences issues, it will generate fault codes. The U1001 fault code indicates a communication failure between various electronic control units (ECUs), or possibly a fault in the engine compartment relay control unit. A detailed diagnosis should be performed by specialists at a 4S dealership or auto repair shop. Automotive fault codes are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) generated by the vehicle's ECU when malfunctions occur. These codes are categorized into current codes, history codes, and intermittent codes. Current codes are straightforward to diagnose, history codes are previously recorded but not cleared fault codes, while intermittent codes are non-persistent. Failure to clear fault codes may cause two major issues: 1) It may cause some vehicle control modules to lose normal data recording - most central ECUs have memory functions. If the battery's negative terminal is disconnected, it will automatically erase engine operation experience data stored in RAM, resulting in poor vehicle performance for an extended period after repairs, and potentially causing reappearance of previously addressed fault codes shortly after driving. 2) It may lead to loss of certain functions - for example, frequently losing the audio system's anti-theft lock function. In such cases, a complicated repair procedure is required to decrypt the audio system before its original functionality can be restored.

Can you make a U-turn when there are yellow diagonal lines inside a solid yellow line?

Yellow diagonal lines inside a solid yellow line indicate that crossing or making a U-turn is prohibited. Below is relevant information about yellow lines: 1. Can you make a U-turn at a single yellow line? No, crossing or making a U-turn is not allowed. However, at a single yellow dashed line, you may cross, make a U-turn, or change lanes if it is safe to do so while complying with traffic regulations and yielding rules. 2. Penalties for illegal U-turns: Making a U-turn in violation of the prohibition line is considered a traffic violation, punishable by a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points. If an accident is caused by making a U-turn at a single yellow line, the driver will bear primary responsibility for the accident. Vehicles caught crossing a single yellow line will be automatically photographed, and the data will be uploaded to the backend center for processing. The traffic police department will further confirm the violation and send the information to the vehicle owner. If caught manually by on-site traffic police, the driver will be penalized on the spot with a 3-point deduction and a 200 yuan fine.
