Mercedes-Benz indicating that the tire pressure monitoring has stopped working is due to a damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor the tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged by impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For a damaged sensor, the only solution is to replace it with a new component. According to the regulations and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tire, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep," then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset.

How to operate the high-low beam alternation in Subject 3?

To perform the high-low beam alternation, first turn on the low beam. In most cars, the low beam is activated via a knob or button on the left side of the steering wheel. The high beam in most vehicles is operated using the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Pushing the lever forward turns on the high beam. When you push the lever forward and release it, the lever automatically returns to its original position. Simply repeat the lever movement to alternate between high and low beams. Below is relevant information: 1. All cars are equipped with high beams and low beams, which are used under different circumstances. 2. High beams should not be used indiscriminately. Generally, avoid using high beams when driving on urban roads, as they can impair the vision of oncoming drivers. High beams should only be used on rural roads without streetlights or on highways. Highways have central barriers, so using high beams won’t affect oncoming drivers. As a courtesy, turn off high beams during oncoming traffic. 3. When driving through pedestrian crossings in urban areas, alternate between high and low beams to alert pedestrians, enhancing safety. 4. Avoid using high beams in rainy or foggy conditions. Instead, turn on the fog lights, which have stronger penetration, making your vehicle more visible to others.

When is the implementation time of China VI emission standards in Hunan Province?

Hunan Province follows the timeline issued by the national government. The official implementation date for China VI-A standards is July 1, 2020, while the China VI-B standards will officially take effect on July 1, 2023. Below is relevant information: 1. The China VI emission standards, officially named "National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles," were established to enforce environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure public health. 2. Currently, the national government divides the "China VI standards" into two phases: "China VI-A" and "China VI-B." China VI-A serves as a transitional phase to China VI-B, imposing stricter emission requirements for carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM (particulate matter).

Why Can't I Turn the Steering Wheel When Starting the Car?

Steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature designed for vehicle security. Here are the solutions for dealing with a locked steering wheel: 1. To unlock the steering wheel, first insert the mechanical key, press the vehicle's brake pedal, and then turn the steering wheel. Although the steering wheel is in a locked state, it can still be slightly turned. 2. While turning the steering wheel, simultaneously turn the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. At this point, the vehicle can be started normally. Additional information: When the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or if the wheels are not aligned when parked, the force applied can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. The steering lock pin engages with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable. Even if the key is inserted and turned forcefully, it won't budge. This is the vehicle's anti-theft system detecting a potential theft risk and locking the steering wheel to prevent unauthorized use.

Does carrying an extra child in a five-seat sedan count as overloading?

Carrying an extra child in a five-seat sedan is considered overloading. Here are the relevant details: 1. The passenger capacity of a vehicle is not determined by the age or weight of the passengers but by the number of individuals. Article 49 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that motor vehicles must not carry more passengers than the approved number, and passenger vehicles must not carry goods in violation of regulations. A standard five-seat sedan has an approved capacity of five people (including the driver). Exceeding this number by even one person (including infants or children) is considered a 20% overload and will result in a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 6 points from the driver's license. 2. Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law outlines the division of liability in traffic accidents. In accidents between motor vehicles, the party at fault bears the responsibility. If both parties are at fault, the liability is divided according to the proportion of their respective faults. In cases of overloading, if the overloaded vehicle is rear-ended by another, the other party bears full responsibility. However, if the overloaded vehicle rear-ends another, it will bear heavier liability due to overloading.

How to Drive Through the Curve in Subject 2?

Method for driving through the curve in Subject 2: 1. Drive the vehicle toward the curve driving test area, and the in-car voice prompt will start. At this point, drive the vehicle to the entrance of the curve and adjust the vehicle to the center of the road, keeping the outer front wheel as close as possible to the right edge of the curve. 2. After entering the curve area, drive the vehicle along the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left while making minor adjustments, paying attention to the distance between the wheel and the curve edge in the right rearview mirror. 3. When the left front corner gradually completes the right edge line of the left turn, keep the steering wheel steady. Once the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the steering wheel and proceed slowly for a short distance. 4. When the left 1/3 of the hood meets the left edge line of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right while making minor adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. Follow the S-curve to complete the right turn, ensuring the vehicle does not cross the line.

How many seconds is a red light generally?

In China, the intervals for traffic lights are generally 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 45 seconds, or 60 seconds, but some cities have intervals of 90 seconds. Each city is different, and even within the same city, the duration of traffic lights varies at different intersections, designed based on comprehensive consideration of pedestrian and vehicle flow. Generally, the red light duration does not exceed 180 seconds. Only in special circumstances such as accident clearance, special security details, or manual intervention for traffic control will the red light duration exceed 180 seconds. Consecutive red lights are not a signal malfunction but a form of manual intervention, an important measure to regulate green light duration based on traffic pressure from various directions. Relevant provisions of the traffic laws: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Vehicles and pedestrians must follow traffic signals; when directed by traffic police on-site, they must follow the police's instructions; on roads without traffic signals, they must proceed under the principle of ensuring safety and smooth flow. Pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities; when crossing at signalized crosswalks, they must follow the traffic signals; when crossing at intersections without traffic signals or crosswalks, or on road sections without pedestrian facilities, they must ensure safety before proceeding.
