Maintenance reminder light indicates when a wrench symbol appears on the car's dashboard. Here is relevant information about the maintenance reminder light: 1. Introduction to the maintenance reminder light: The "SERVICE" symbol on the car's dashboard display is a maintenance cycle indicator. When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the "SERVICE" symbol on the display flashes, and the symbol disappears after starting the engine, indicating that the vehicle requires maintenance. 2. Items of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc.

That maintenance reminder light, you know, the little icon that often flashes on your car's dashboard, looks like a wrench or an oil can. Every time I see it light up while driving, I know it's the car reminding me to go for maintenance, like changing the oil or checking the brakes. Actually, it's a smart system that calculates based on how many kilometers you've driven or how long you've had the car, and it pops up a warning when it's close to the set value. Many novice drivers tend to ignore it, resulting in a bunch of car problems, like engine overheating or rapid part wear, and the repair costs can be really expensive. So now I've developed a habit: as soon as I see the light, I immediately call the 4S shop to make an appointment to avoid future troubles. Regular maintenance is really important—it can extend the car's lifespan and make driving safer and more comfortable.

Do You Need to Wait for a Red Light When Making a U-Turn at an Intersection?

If the U-turn signal light is red, you must wait to make a U-turn; otherwise, it will be considered running a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," this offense carries a penalty of 6 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. If there is no U-turn signal light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the traffic signal and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. However, if the gap is marked with a solid line, the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a U-turn directly may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. When making a U-turn that requires crossing the pedestrian crossing, pedestrians must be given the right of way: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians enter the motorized lane (Lane A) via the crosswalk, vehicles in Lane B must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. Vehicles in Lane A that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. If the road is divided by a green belt, and pedestrians are waiting in the median area, vehicles must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. If the intersection does not explicitly prohibit U-turns or left turns, you can make a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important entrances, or other designated areas. Stopping in these zones (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, U-turns are permitted in yellow grid zones as long as there are no central barriers—equivalent to "U-turn allowed." If there is a U-turn signal light, follow it—only proceed on green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs appear together, U-turns are permitted, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection, as U-turns inherently involve a left-turn motion. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to straight-moving vehicles. Only proceed with a U-turn if it does not interfere with straight-moving traffic; otherwise, you will bear full liability for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs.

Does the Dual-Clutch Transmission Experience Gear Shift Jerks?

The dual-clutch transmission may exhibit jerky gear shifts during low-speed driving, but the shift jerks become less noticeable at higher speeds. Below is an introduction to the dual-clutch transmission:1. The dual-clutch transmission uses one clutch to control odd-numbered gears and another clutch to control even-numbered gears, enabling very rapid gear shifts.2. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is not significantly different from that of a manual transmission, except that it has an additional clutch and a set of gear shift control mechanisms.3. The production and development costs of the dual-clutch transmission are relatively low.4. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. In the dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil.
