When reversing, the reverse lights are used, which do not need to be manually turned on. The reverse lights will automatically activate when the car is shifted into reverse gear. The working principle of the reverse lights is: when the car is reversing, after shifting into reverse gear, the mechanical mechanism presses down the switch contacts, closing the circuit and turning on the reverse lights. When the reverse gear is disengaged, the switch contacts spring back, the reverse light circuit opens again, and the reverse lights turn off. Precautions for reversing include: 1. Adjust the interior rearview mirror properly; 2. Pay attention to both side mirrors simultaneously; 3. Control the speed; 4. Stop and wait promptly when there are pedestrians or oncoming vehicles; 5. Use the reversing camera to accurately judge the distance.

What does 'Evans' mean in cars?

Evans refers to the Evans (evans) waterless coolant used in the vehicle. Cars that use Evans waterless coolant typically have an 'evans' sticker on the rear of the body. Below is relevant information about whether to replace Evans waterless coolant: 1. Ordinary water-containing antifreeze can last for 3 to 4 years without issues. Even when it expires, replacing it with regular antifreeze costs very little, making it unnecessary to spend more on Evans waterless coolant. 2. This is the most important point: Evans waterless coolant is not as good as advertised. On the contrary, because it lacks water, it dissipates heat slowly, leading to a tendency for the engine temperature to rise. 3. However, this doesn't mean Evans waterless coolant is all bad with no advantages. Because it is waterless and dissipates heat slowly, it allows the engine to warm up quickly during cold starts, reaching the optimal operating temperature faster.

Is it a violation to drive over the left-turn guide dotted line?

Crossing the dotted guide line at an intersection will not result in penalty points. The intersection guide line does not have an arrow, and there is no stop line ahead, which is somewhat different from the left-turn waiting area. The intersection guide line assists vehicles in driving and turning, existing in the form of white dotted lines. The following is an introduction to guide lines: 1. Introduction one: The guide lane line is a lane marking that indicates direction, used to instruct vehicles to drive in the indicated direction at the entrance of an intersection. 2. Introduction two: The variable guide lane means that after entering the lane, there is more than one lane direction, such as some intersections allowing right turns and going straight, where right turns and going straight are combined into one lane, or U-turns and left turns are combined into one lane, generally used for the left lane. 3. Introduction three: The variable guide lane has flexibility, unlike ordinary lane indication lines, where once you enter the lane, going straight means going straight, and turning left means turning left.

Where is the ignition keyhole of the Roewe RX5?

The key ignition socket of the Roewe RX5 is located below the steering wheel. The following are the reasons and solutions for the one-button start not working: 1. Steering wheel lock: When the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the straight position to a certain angle in one direction will lock the steering wheel. Solution: Turn the steering wheel left and right while pressing the engine start button to release the tension and unlock the steering wheel. 2. Gear not in P position: For automatic transmission vehicles, the manufacturer will specify this in the manual. Solution: Ensure the gear is in the P position when starting. 3. Smart key battery dead: When the smart key battery is dead, the key's transmission power is very low, making it difficult for the car's sensor to detect it, and the one-button start cannot complete ignition. Solution: Generally, smart keys come with a mechanical key that can be directly inserted into the keyhole for starting. 4. New car not stepping on the brake before one-button start: Solution: Step on the brake first, then use the one-button start.

What could be the issue when an automatic transmission cannot engage a gear?

It could be a malfunction inside the gear shift lever assembly, or the P-gear lock solenoid valve inside the gear shift lever may have failed. A damaged brake light switch can also prevent the gear from moving. Related explanations are as follows: 1. During the use of the car's gear shift lever, shifting gears requires looking down at the transmission lever. Driving in low gear for extended periods is not recommended, as high gear is more fuel-efficient than low gear. Therefore, it is advisable to shift up promptly after starting. If the clutch pedal is not fully depressed when shifting gears, it may cause gear damage. Additionally, when the clutch is not in use, the foot should not rest on the clutch pedal, as this can lead to excessive wear of the release bearing. 2. If a gear fails to engage at first, avoid forcing it. When the gear shift lever is in neutral, it should not be shaken back and forth, as this can cause unnecessary wear on components and affect the timing of gear shifts. Skipping gears when upshifting is not recommended; upshifting should be done step by step to prevent a loss of power continuity in the car. Downshifting, however, can skip gears. Avoid engaging reverse gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, as this can easily cause gear damage.

Why won't my Chevrolet Cruze start?

The reasons why a Chevrolet Cruze won't start are as follows: 1. Check if the Chevrolet Cruze's battery has power. It may be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for too long or the battery's lifespan expiring. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. Checking for a dead battery is simple—just press the horn to see if it sounds. 2. Check if there is fuel. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, the car naturally won't start. Also, pay attention to the quality of the fuel. It is advised to refuel only at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze wrap over the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. 3. The Chevrolet Cruze may lack antifreeze. Some owners use water or low-quality antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to a cracked engine and preventing the water pump from functioning. This not only makes the car unable to start but also damages other engine components. 4. The Chevrolet Cruze may be in the wrong gear. When starting the Chevrolet Cruze, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral). If it is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car won't start.

What to Do When the Mechanical Lock Can't Open the Car Door?

Reasons and solutions for the mechanical lock not opening the car door are as follows: 1. The car's central locking system is in an electronically locked state. You need to wait for one to two hours for the lock to be released before attempting to unlock it again. 2. If the door lock cylinder is stuck due to prolonged disuse and cannot be turned, in an emergency, you may resort to forceful methods like breaking the window to open the door. 3. You can contact a 4S shop for repairs. Detailed information about the mechanical lock not opening the car door is as follows: 1. If the mechanical key cannot turn to open the door, it may be due to incorrect operation, a faulty lock cylinder, or a problem with the mechanical key. The reason could be rust inside the lock cylinder. You can try injecting some engine oil into the lock cylinder to lubricate it, then attempt to open it. If this fails, the only solution is to replace the lock cylinder. 2. If the car's door lock or internal mechanical device is damaged, there will be no resistance when using the mechanical key to open the door. This indicates internal disengagement, rendering the mechanical key useless. Some car models enter an anti-theft locked state after locking, not only locking the engine but also the central control system, making the mechanical key ineffective. 3. The car's central locking door structure uses a mechanical latch to secure the door. If the door is not locked, you can simply use the external door handle to open it. Conversely, if the car has an internal unlock button, you need to enter the car and start the vehicle to unlock it. In such configurations, if the door cannot be opened, you may have to break the car window to enter, resulting in significant damage. This method is not recommended.
