When driving straight at night, low beam headlights should be used. If the road ahead is completely dark with no road lighting facilities, high beam headlights should be turned on. If you encounter an oncoming vehicle, switch to low beam headlights in advance, and after passing the vehicle, decide whether to turn on the high beam headlights again based on the situation. When driving straight through an intersection at night, low beam headlights should be used. There is also a suggestion to alternately use high and low beam headlights as a signal. When passing through an uncontrolled intersection without traffic signals, you should slow down and alternately use high and low beam headlights as a signal. When overtaking at night, turn on the turn signal in advance and observe the vehicles behind. If the following vehicle is too close, it is not recommended to use the turn signal for overtaking, as this may easily catch the following vehicle off guard. In case of rainy or foggy weather with low visibility, the correct approach is to turn on the width marker lights, front and rear fog lights, and hazard warning lights. Note that fog lights are very bright and have a strong warning effect, so they should not be turned on during clear nights.

Can Snow Tires Still Be Used After 6 Years?

Snow tires cannot continue to be used after 6 years. Reasons for not continuing to use them: Rubber products harden, crack, and lose their original elasticity over time. Generally, they should be replaced every 6 years. Snow tires are specifically designed and manufactured for winter snow conditions. When driving in hot weather, they differ from summer tires in terms of handling, comfort, noise, and speed limits. Therefore, they should be switched back to summer tires when temperatures rise in spring and the roads are dry. Snow tire composition: They typically use a different rubber compound than all-season tires. Winter tires contain a higher proportion of natural rubber and silica, which more effectively enhances grip in low-temperature conditions.

Will the hazard lights turn on automatically during emergency braking?

Emergency braking automatically activates the hazard lights. Usage of hazard lights: If the vehicle breaks down and cannot move (or moves at low speed, including when being towed), the hazard lights should also be turned on to alert vehicles behind. In China, the use of hazard lights is subject to very strict requirements. When using hazard lights, one must consider not only their own safety but also avoid affecting the driving of others. Braking principle: The principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing a corresponding brake shoe, band, or disc on the machine base, which generates braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle speed.

What Causes the Wiper Blade to Make Noise?

The primary reason for wiper blades making noise is aging. Reasons for wiper blade aging: Generally, it is recommended to replace wiper blades once a year. Rubber components are prone to aging, and since wiper blades are exposed outside the vehicle, they are even more susceptible to hardening. Aged, cracked, or hardened wiper blades will produce noise. New types of wiper blades: Besides rubber wiper blades, there are now silicone wiper blades available. Due to their material properties, these wiper blades last longer than rubber ones and are less prone to aging. Some silicone wiper blades even have an automatic coating function. After installation, there's no need to use windshield washer fluid; within 3-5 minutes, a protective film will form on the windshield surface. During rainy days, water droplets will quickly slide off the glass surface without obstructing visibility.

What does the keybatt flashing mean?

batt flashing means that the battery power in the vehicle's smart key is weakening, and the smart key battery needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Solution for batt flashing: After replacing the battery in the smart key, the batt flashing icon will disappear. If it does not disappear, you can turn off the vehicle, switch off the ignition, and restart the car. Under normal circumstances, the indicator light will not illuminate or flash. If it still lights up, you need to check whether there is a problem with the key itself at a repair facility. Principle of batt flashing: The principle is that the body controls the doors, requiring the button to send instructions to unlock or lock. The car remote key also has other functions, such as opening windows after turning off the engine, finding the car in a parking lot, closing windows separately after getting off, selectively opening doors, and automatically opening the car trunk.
