When passing through a signalized intersection at night, you should use low beam headlights. Below is an introduction to the use of lights at night: When to use low beam headlights: When driving on well-lit roads, you should use low beam headlights. Additionally, when following another vehicle, low beams should be used to allow the vehicle ahead to observe the situation behind through the rearview mirror. If you are within 150 meters of an oncoming vehicle during a meeting situation, you should also switch from high beam to low beam headlights. When to use high beam headlights: If driving at night on roads without streetlights, poor lighting, or encountering extreme conditions such as fog, sandstorms, rain, or snow, and visibility is low without any vehicles ahead, you should turn on high beam headlights and fog lights. When to alternate between high and low beam headlights: When driving at night through slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, sharp curves, or when overtaking another vehicle, you should alternate between high and low beam headlights. This is mainly to alert other vehicles that your vehicle is preparing to pass through the road.

What are the three types of routine vehicle maintenance?

Vehicle maintenance is divided into three types: primary maintenance, secondary maintenance, and tertiary maintenance. The purpose is to restore the vehicle's performance to its optimal condition, prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, ensure the vehicle's safety, and achieve better fuel efficiency and a longer service life. Primary maintenance focuses on tightening and lubrication, addressing certain weak points that may appear after the vehicle has traveled a certain mileage. This ensures the vehicle continues to meet the technical conditions for normal operation. The main tasks include tightening connecting parts, lubricating major components, and making necessary adjustments based on visual inspections. Secondary maintenance centers on inspection, adjustment, and lubrication, providing a more thorough and detailed comprehensive check and adjustment of the vehicle. The goal is to maintain the vehicle's good operational performance over a longer period. Key tasks include inspecting the condition of components, addressing any identified faults or potential issues, making necessary adjustments, and implementing seasonal measures (such as changing lubricants and addressing cooling or heating needs). Tertiary maintenance focuses on disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, adjusting, and eliminating potential issues within assemblies. It involves a deeper and more thorough consolidation of the vehicle's normal operational performance, ensuring the vehicle operates normally between two tertiary maintenance intervals.

What do the symbols on the car dashboard mean?

The icons on the car dashboard refer to: 1. Routine indicator lights: Common ones include high/low beam indicator, seatbelt reminder, turn signal light, and parking brake indicator. Their function is to remind the driver of the status of various vehicle functions. 2. Warning indicator lights: Common ones include fuel indicator, engine oil indicator, and coolant indicator. Their purpose is to inform the driver about the vehicle's condition, usually indicating the fluid levels. 3. Fault indicator lights: Common ones include bulb failure indicator, cruise control indicator, gear shift indicator, and brake pad wear indicator. They are used to alert the driver about current vehicle malfunctions. When these indicators appear, the vehicle should be inspected at a repair shop promptly.

What is the difference between a 260 and 240 speedometer in cars?

The differences between a 260 and 240 speedometer in cars are as follows: 1. Different maximum speeds: A car with a 240 speedometer has a maximum speed of 240 km/h, while a car with a 260 speedometer has a maximum speed of 260 km/h. The maximum speed of a car is one of the indicators used to measure its power performance, which is ultimately determined by the engine's power. 2. Different vehicles: Generally, most ordinary family cars have speedometers marked up to 220 or 240 km/h; cars with 260 km/h speedometers are mostly B-segment cars, such as the Magotan and Mercedes-Benz series. Here is some relevant information: 1. Determining factors: How fast a car can go depends on one hand on the manufacturer's electronic speed limiter program, and another important aspect is the car's design. If a car cannot withstand a speed of 260 km/h, even if the maximum number on the speedometer is 260, the car will not be able to reach that speed. 2. Speedometer base: The maximum scale on a car's speedometer is called the "speedometer base." Generally, the maximum speed indicated on a car's speedometer is based on the highest possible speed value at the engine's no-load maximum RPM. Therefore, cars with higher speedometer base values are often perceived as having better performance.

What Causes Intermittent Cooling in Car Air Conditioning?

Car air conditioning intermittent cooling failure reasons are as follows: 1. Excessive refrigerant: Too much refrigerant can cause system pressure to frequently exceed the normal upper limit, triggering pressure protection and shutting off the air conditioning. 2. Poor condenser heat dissipation, leading to high pressure. 3. Evaporator: The evaporator temperature is too low, causing the system to automatically shut off the air conditioning. 4. Freezing: Freezing of the evaporator or expansion valve results in high pressure. Ice can block the air duct, preventing cold air from being blown out. 5. Low system pressure. 6. Poor contact in control circuits. 7. Adjustment of the air conditioning pressure plate gap.

What brand is mattoon brake pads?

mattoon is the brake pad brand of the American brand Matton. Below are the replacement criteria for brake pads: 1. Mileage: Under normal driving conditions, the front brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, and the rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Once the brake pads are found to be severely worn, they should be replaced promptly. 2. Wear degree: Generally, new brake pads have a thickness of about 1.5 centimeters. If they wear down to one-third of their original thickness, it is recommended to replace them when the thickness is less than 5 millimeters; if a metal friction sound is heard when braking, this may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to the minimum thickness, and the limit indicators on both sides of the brake pads are touching and rubbing against the brake disc, producing abnormal noises, requiring immediate replacement; if the brake pedal feels lighter when pressed, or if braking feels laborious and the car cannot stop effectively, this indicates that the brake pads are severely worn and the thickness is insufficient, also necessitating prompt replacement.
