What is the speed limit with 200 meters visibility on the highway?

The maximum speed is 60 kilometers per hour when visibility is within 200 meters, and a distance of more than 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. The driver should also turn on the fog lights, low beams, clearance lights, and front and rear position lights to alert other vehicles for safety. Safe driving distances and maximum speed limits under various visibility conditions: Less than 500 meters but more than 200 meters: Low beams, clearance lights, and rear fog lights must be turned on, the speed should not exceed 80km/h, and a driving distance of more than 150 meters should be maintained. Less than 200 meters but more than 100 meters: Low beams, clearance lights, and front and rear fog lights must be turned on, the speed should not exceed 60km/h, and a driving distance of more than 100 meters should be maintained. Less than 100 meters but more than 50 meters: Low beams, clearance lights, and front and rear fog lights must be turned on, the speed should not exceed 40km/h, and a driving distance of more than 50 meters should be maintained. Less than 50 meters: Vehicles are prohibited from entering the highway. Vehicles already on the highway must turn on the relevant lights as required, exit the fog area, and the speed should not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. Introduction to highways: Highways refer to high-speed roads, compared to medium-speed and low-speed roads. In an environment where low speed is mainstream, low speed is the normal or standard speed, and where medium speed is mainstream, medium speed is the normal or standard speed. Precautions before entering the highway: Check the weather and road conditions, perform a safety check on the vehicle, study the driving route in advance, carry a vehicle breakdown warning sign and a fire extinguisher, and plan the driving and rest schedule in advance. Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that when a motor vehicle is driving and receives a signal from a vehicle behind to overtake, it must give way to the right and turn on the right turn signal if conditions permit, and must not deliberately refuse to yield or accelerate. When reversing, the driver must observe the situation behind the vehicle and confirm safety before reversing. Reversing is not allowed at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or busy traffic sections.

What does violation code 17123 mean?

Violation code 17123 means: Driving under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content between 60 and 80 mg/100ml. According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 12 points; Fine amount: 2000 yuan; Additional penalties: Suspension of driver's license for 6 months. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the general principles of traffic laws. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category under the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third category of 3-point deductions. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with "4" indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with "7" indicate provincial, autonomous region, or municipal implementation rules, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods for motor vehicle violation inquiries: Visit the office halls of traffic police departments in various districts and counties to query through touch-screen terminals; Log in to the public service websites of the local public security traffic management bureaus, locate the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app client (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content between 60 and 80 mg/100ml, it can be processed through this traffic management app. After logging in, enter the violation processing workflow, complete the process, and make the payment.

What is ESC maintenance about?

Esc fault indicator light coming on is a relatively complex fault issue, usually caused by a software system alarm, but it could also be due to sensor failure or circuit short-circuit, and the possibility of false alarms cannot be ruled out. Diagnosing this issue is quite troublesome and requires specialized fault diagnostic equipment for troubleshooting and confirmation. Therefore, it is best to send the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. When the ESC fault light comes on and alarms, possible reasons include: Sensor failure: The ESC system's sensors have failed, such as the yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor, etc.; Circuit failure: There is a problem with the system's circuit, such as a short circuit or open circuit fault; Control unit failure: The control unit itself may be faulty, which could also cause ESC failure. Main functions of ESC: The main function of ESC is to make the car more stable and safe when changing lanes or turning. Under normal driving conditions, the ESC system does not function. When the ignition switch is turned on, the ESC starts, the warning light comes on, and the ESC off indicator light comes on, extinguishing after about 4 seconds. When the ESC fault light on the car stays on, it indicates that the vehicle's ESC has failed, and the vehicle's electronic stability control system is not working. ESC mainly controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle moves according to the driver's intentions. The foundation of the electronic stability control system is the ABS anti-lock braking function. When the tires are about to lock during braking, the system brakes hundreds of times within a second, somewhat similar to mechanical "cadence braking." In this way, when the vehicle is braking at full force, the tires can still maintain rolling, and the effect of rolling friction is better than the sliding friction after locking, allowing control over the vehicle's direction of travel.

What are the symbols for China's emission standards?

China's vehicle emission standards are denoted as China I, China II, China III, China IV, China V, and China VI. The purpose of these emission standards is to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. Below is a detailed introduction to China's vehicle emission standards: China I Emission Standard: In the early 1980s, China issued a series of motor vehicle exhaust pollution control emission standards, including the "Idle Emission Standard for Gasoline Vehicles," "Free Acceleration Smoke Emission Standard for Diesel Vehicles," "Full-Load Smoke Emission Standard for Automotive Diesel Engines," and their measurement standards. This marked the gradual establishment of China's vehicle emission standards. The China I standard was fully implemented nationwide on July 1, 2001. China II Emission Standard: By this stage, China had developed a relatively complete vehicle exhaust emission standard and testing system. Beijing was the first to implement the China II emission standard. The requirements for various pollutant emissions were further tightened, and the standard was implemented nationwide by July 1, 2004. China III Emission Standard: On December 30, 2005, Beijing began implementing the China III emission standard. It was also during this time that OBD devices started to be widely used. The specific implementation dates were: July 1, 2009, for light-duty diesel vehicles; July 1, 2010, for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles; July 1, 2008, for heavy-duty gas vehicles; and July 1, 2008, for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. China IV Emission Standard: On January 1, 2008, China IV fuel was introduced in Beijing, followed by the implementation of the China IV standard in multiple cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The nationwide implementation dates were: July 1, 2013, for light-duty diesel vehicles; July 1, 2013, for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles; January 1, 2011, for heavy-duty gas vehicles; and July 1, 2013, for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. China V Emission Standard: The China V emission standard was fully implemented nationwide on July 1, 2017. Compared to China IV, it reduced nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% and introduced stricter PM emission limits. China VI Emission Standard: The "China VI" standard is an upgrade of the China V standard. Compared to "China V," "China VI" imposes stricter limits on pollutant emissions, making it one of the most stringent standards globally. Specifically, "China VI" reduces carbon monoxide emissions from gasoline vehicles by 50%, total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits by 50%, and tightens nitrogen oxide emission limits by 42%.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sportage?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Sportage is 58L. This data is officially released, and owners of the 2019 Sportage can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2019 Sportage comes in two variants with different engine displacements. The model equipped with a 1.4T engine uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km, and can travel up to 920km on a full tank. The model equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine also uses 92-octane fuel, has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km, and can travel up to 840km on a full tank. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. In addition, the following factors can affect a vehicle's fuel consumption: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in significantly reduced fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption proportionally. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration, frequent braking, and rapid starts can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Driving on flat roads results in lower fuel consumption, while driving on uneven or steep roads increases fuel consumption. Use of additional electronic devices: Operating extra equipment like the air conditioning while driving increases fuel consumption.
