Alternating between high and low beams serves as a warning function. Here is an extended introduction about high and low beams: 1. Function: Alternating between high and low beams is used for nighttime encounters with oncoming vehicles, overtaking signals, and switching between high and low beams to serve as a warning. 2. High beams should be used in poor lighting conditions: such as on highways or village roads. In well-lit conditions, as well as when encountering oncoming vehicles, following vehicles, pedestrians, or non-motorized vehicles, low beams should be used. For example, on urban roads with streetlights. It is especially important to flash the lights when overtaking large trucks, as trucks have large blind spots and high chassis, so repeated flashing is needed to alert the truck driver and ensure safety before overtaking.

Is 9 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?

Whether 9 liters per 100 kilometers is considered high fuel consumption depends on the vehicle model, fuel-saving technology, and specific driving conditions. '1 unit of fuel' refers to 1 liter of fuel, so 9 liters per 100 kilometers means the car consumes 9 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers driven. Generally, compact cars have a fuel consumption of 6-10 liters per 100 kilometers; mid-size cars consume 8-12 liters per 100 kilometers; and large cars consume 12-18 liters per 100 kilometers. Due to their greater weight and larger frontal area, SUVs typically have higher fuel consumption than sedans. In cases of traffic congestion, fuel consumption can increase even more. Factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits: Frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by about 5%-10% compared to normal driving; 2. Use of electronic devices: For example, using air conditioning in summer or improper use of electronic devices in the car can increase fuel consumption; 3. Road conditions: If the car is driven on poor road conditions, it requires more power, leading the engine to consume more fuel; 4. Vehicle load: The more passengers or cargo the car carries, the more power is needed, and consequently, more fuel is consumed; 5. Vehicle condition: If the car is not regularly maintained, issues like low tire pressure, excessive engine carbon buildup, or uncleaned air filters can all increase fuel consumption during driving.

What Causes the Brake Noise in Sagitar?

Sagitar brake noise causes: 1. Brake disc break-in period: Whether it's a new car or newly installed brake discs, during the initial use, they haven't yet achieved a perfect fit with the brake pads. Therefore, during hard braking or emergency stops, the brake discs may produce sharp abnormal noises. This is actually a normal phenomenon and not a malfunction. During the break-in period, avoid heavy and sudden braking as much as possible, as the braking performance of new brake discs will also be compromised before the break-in is complete. 2. Continuous hard braking: When driving with continuous hard braking, thermal fade may occur. Two specific manifestations of thermal fade are significantly reduced braking force and unusual sharp noises that are not normally heard, commonly referred to as brake noise. This is a normal occurrence during thermal fade and does not indicate a brake malfunction. The noise will disappear once the thermal fade subsides. 3. Excessive brake pad wear: When the brake pads wear down to the critical point, the thickness warning metal piece on the pads will come into direct contact with the brake disc, producing an abnormally harsh noise. This indicates that the brake pads are excessively worn and must be replaced. If not replaced, the severe noise will be unbearable, and there will be a significant drop in braking force, increasing safety risks. 4. Excessive brake disc wear: Not only can excessive wear of brake pads cause noise, but excessive wear of brake discs can also lead to this issue. When the thickness of the brake disc falls below the critical point, the metal edge surrounding the disc will directly contact the brake pads, resulting not only in loud abnormal noises but also potential brake failure and severe body vibration.

Can 215 tires be replaced with 225 ones?

From a technical standpoint, the original 215 tires can be replaced with 225 ones, but it is not permitted by traffic laws and may fail the annual inspection. This is because both 215 and 225 represent the tire's cross-sectional width, and switching from 215 to 225 is equivalent to altering the tire size, which requires registration. However, 225 tires are wider than 215, have a larger diameter, a broader contact patch, stronger grip, and improved driving stability. The hazards of replacing 215 with 225 tires are as follows: 1. Increased driving friction: Replacing 215 with 225 tires increases driving friction, making the steering wheel heavier to turn. This results in higher fuel consumption and significantly louder tire noise. Another critical hazard is the increased risk of rollover during sharp turns, as the centrifugal force from the car's body roll can lift the inner wheels off the ground. If the speed is high and the turn is sharp, this can directly lead to a rollover. 2. Reduced flexibility: Increasing tire width can also interfere with the geometric dimensions of the body and suspension design, leading to a noticeably larger turning radius and less agile handling than expected. 3. Impact on annual inspection: Since increasing tire size alters the vehicle's external dimensions, the outer track width may exceed the body width, potentially causing the vehicle to fail the annual inspection for 215-to-225 tire replacements. 4. Potential shift in vehicle center of gravity: The increased load on the driving mechanism can cause deviations in related data. Systems like ABS, ESP, mileage, and fuel consumption are calculated based on the original tire's outer diameter.

What Are the Tips for Parallel Parking?

Here are some tips for parallel parking: 1. Control your speed: Before parking, first check the situation behind your car, estimate the parking path, and determine whether the front of the car will hit any "obstacles." Try not to press the accelerator when parking, and keep your speed under control. 2. Check the front and rear of the car: If you feel that the front of the car might hit an "obstacle" during parking, you should also check the front of the car at the appropriate time. Especially when turning the steering wheel significantly, since the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels during steering, the front of the car will swing outward more during parking. Therefore, be sure to avoid any collisions with the front of the car.
