The small light next to the reading light is called the dim light. It can illuminate the gear area under low lighting conditions. The following are precautions for using vehicle lights: 1. Turn signals: When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights and turns left or right, the corresponding turn signal must be turned on. 2. Low and high beams: Low beams should be turned on when driving at night, and should also be used when meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges; high beams should not be used when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction; when a motor vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic light control at night, it should alternately use high and low beams to signal.

What is the mileage for the first vehicle maintenance?

New car first maintenance is at 3 months or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Before the first maintenance, pay attention to the following points: 1. Make an appointment in advance: It is best to make an appointment with the 4S store in advance, otherwise, without an appointment, you may encounter situations where there are no available service bays or long waiting times. 2. Bring necessary documents: When going for the first maintenance, bring essential items such as the maintenance manual, vehicle registration, etc. If you are unsure about which documents to bring, be sure to ask clearly when making the appointment. 3. Record problems promptly: If you encounter any faults or questions while driving, you can record them and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration. This will help the technician to check all the issues during the first maintenance.

Is It Serious If a Sedan's Chassis Gets Scraped?

The exhaust pipe is located inside the chassis, so obstacles like speed bumps won't touch it. The chassis surface has a layer of protective coating, and minor scrapes generally don't cause significant harm. Here is additional information: 1. Inspection Method: If your car's chassis is scraped by an unknown object and you can't determine whether it affects driving safety, or if you're still concerned, it's recommended to take the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Most repair shops have chassis lifts; once the vehicle is raised, any scrapes or damage on the chassis surface will be immediately visible. If only the steel plate is scraped, applying some paint will suffice. However, if the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. 2. Precautions: When driving over road hazards like potholes, depressions, or grooves that could scrape the chassis, slow down and avoid them if possible—forcing through won't help. Additionally, drivers should be cautious of curbs and speed bumps.

What is the difference between cold start and hot start in cars?

Car cold start and hot start differences are as follows: Cold start refers to starting the engine when the coolant temperature is low; Hot start means starting the engine when the coolant temperature is high, with the only difference being the temperature of the coolant. Compared to hot start, cold start has the following two disadvantages: 1. Cold start is more harmful to the car: More than 80% of engine wear occurs during the cold start phase. 2. Cold start requires more time to start the vehicle: 1) During cold start, the internal temperature of the engine is too low, making it difficult for the air-fuel mixture to vaporize and combust. 2) During cold start, the engine oil temperature is insufficient, requiring time to increase the oil temperature. 3) During cold start, the gaps between internal engine components are larger, necessitating a warm-up period for thermal expansion to gradually reach the specified clearances, as excessive gaps prevent the oil film from adequately covering and lubricating the parts.

Are There Purchase Taxes for New Energy Vehicles?

New energy vehicles are exempt from purchase taxes. Currently, new energy vehicles are categorized into hybrid and pure electric vehicles, with hybrids further divided into plug-in hybrids and non-plug-in hybrids. Hybrid models, unless they are plug-in hybrids, are still subject to purchase taxes. Pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles do not require payment of purchase taxes. Starting from January 1, 2018, new energy vehicles listed in the "Catalog" must meet the following conditions: 1. Authorization: Pure electric vehicles, plug-in (including range-extended) hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles sold in China must be authorized. 2. Compliance: They must meet the technical requirements for new energy vehicle products. 3. Inspection: They must pass special inspections for new energy vehicles and meet the specific inspection standards for new energy vehicle products. 4. Manufacturer Requirements: New energy vehicle manufacturers or importers (hereinafter referred to as enterprises) must comply with relevant requirements in product quality assurance, product consistency, after-sales service, safety monitoring, and power battery recycling.

How to Install License Plate Recognition?

Installation method for license plate recognition barrier system: 1. First, determine the installation position of the license plate recognition all-in-one machine: This will directly affect the recognition effect. The position should be decided based on the on-site environment and conditions of each entrance and exit. Generally, one camera is installed per lane. If the vehicle's direction when entering the lane is not fixed, a large angle may affect recognition, so consider installing a secondary camera to ensure recognition regardless of the vehicle's orientation. 2. Next, if using snapshot recognition, determine the installation positions of the camera and loop: The optimal distance between the camera and the loop on the incoming vehicle side is 4-4.5m. The loop position should ensure that when the vehicle triggers the vehicle detector, the front of the vehicle is tilted toward the camera side as much as possible, allowing the camera to capture clear and complete images. For a single lane (where the entrance and exit are the same lane), a dual-channel vehicle detector is required. 3. Then, determine the positions of the barrier and anti-collision loop: The barrier is usually installed on the same side as the camera, behind the camera (30cm from the camera pole to ensure the barrier gate can open conveniently). The anti-collision loop is centered directly under the barrier arm, ensuring that no part of the vehicle is under the barrier arm when the front triggers the loop or the rear leaves the loop.

What Causes the Burning Smell When Accelerating Uphill?

When experiencing a burning smell while accelerating uphill, it could be due to the smell of a slipping clutch disc burning or issues with the tires. The specific explanations are as follows: 1. It is very likely the smell of a slipping clutch disc burning: Clutch disc slippage commonly occurs in manual transmission vehicles. Since manual transmissions rely on the friction of the clutch disc to transmit power, when the clutch disc is excessively worn, the friction weakens. Consequently, when the engine's power output is too high, the clutch disc may overcome the friction and start spinning freely, causing it to overheat and produce a burning smell. If this happens, it is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible to avoid more significant issues. 2. It could be an issue with the tires: During uphill driving, the front wheels may lose traction, and heavy acceleration can easily cause the tires to slip and spin freely. When the tires spin freely, a burning smell is inevitable. If this occurs, there is no need to panic; simply ease off the accelerator. If the vehicle frequently drives on uphill roads, it is best to replace the drive wheels with tires that offer better traction.
