When driving on icy and snowy roads, it is important to make judgments in advance and reserve the braking distance. The reasons for reserving braking distance and the method of starting the car in extremely cold weather are as follows: Reasons for reserving braking distance: It should be noted that the braking distance of the vehicle will be extended. Icy and snowy roads are different from normal roads, which will reduce the friction of the vehicle tires and the adhesion will also become smaller. When driving on icy and snowy roads, it is necessary to make judgments in advance and reserve the braking distance. Method of starting the car in extremely cold weather: Depress the clutch in neutral gear, do not step on the accelerator, and start the engine instantly without igniting it. Each interval should be more than 10 seconds, and at least 3 times. The purpose is to start the lubrication system. After the engine is started, keep the clutch depressed in neutral gear and warm up the car at idle speed. After 1 minute, release the clutch. If the engine does not stay on, depress the clutch for a while longer. Until the engine stays on, release the clutch and continue to warm up the car at idle speed for 1-2 minutes.

Is Automotive Urea Harmful to the Human Body?

Automotive urea is composed of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. Since the human body naturally produces urea, contact with the skin generally does not cause any harm. However, under high temperatures, automotive urea can easily release ammonia gas, which has corrosive properties. Prolonged skin exposure to ammonia may lead to pigmentation or ulcers. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Under normal circumstances, automotive urea is harmless to the human body (if it comes into contact with the skin, simply rinse with plenty of soapy water or clean water, but avoid contact with eyes or ingestion). However, under high-temperature conditions, automotive urea may release ammonia gas (NH3); 2. NH3 can have corrosive and irritating effects on human skin tissue. Prolonged exposure to ammonia gas may result in symptoms such as skin pigmentation or ulcers. (If such symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately to prevent more severe consequences).

Is Installing a Rear Wing on a Car Illegal?

Adding a rear wing to a car is considered illegal modification and is a violation of the law. The penalties and relevant regulations for illegal modifications are as follows: Penalties for illegal modifications: Driving a car with illegal modifications on the road, the public security traffic management department will detain the vehicle, confiscate the illegal devices, order restoration to the original condition, and impose fines according to the law. Relevant regulations: For cars with illegal modifications, the public security traffic management department will not issue a safety technical inspection qualification mark. If it constitutes a public security management violation, the public security organ will impose penalties such as fines or detention in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law." When modifying your car, be sure to apply for a change registration with the traffic management department of the public security organ to ensure that the car can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks after modification.

How to adjust the low beam headlights on the Lamando?

The control switch for the Lamando's low beam headlights is located on the left lever below the steering wheel. Simply pull the lever toward the driver to activate them. When the low beams are on, you can switch between low and high beams by pushing the turn signal lever forward or backward. The low beam headlights have a range of approximately 30-40 meters. More details are as follows: 1. Experiments show that when driving at 55 km/h at night, the braking distance upon spotting an obstacle is exactly 30 meters. This means that if you stop immediately upon seeing something within the low beam's range, there will be no gap between the car and the object. This assumes good vehicle condition, road conditions, and driver reaction time. If the speed is higher, or if the vehicle or road conditions are poor, or the driver is fatigued with slower reactions, the outcome can be imagined. 2. Therefore, it's crucial to control your speed when driving at night. On flat, wide roads with good visibility, you can use high beams and drive slightly faster. However, when encountering oncoming traffic, uneven roads, turns, bridges, narrow roads, or intersections, you should slow down, generally keeping the speed below 40 km/h.

What is the simplest method for a 90-degree turn?

The simplest method for a 90-degree turn is: When the car's engine hood just blocks the line in front, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Observe the rearview mirror, and when the car body is parallel to the side line, straighten the steering wheel and drive out at a steady speed. The turning action should be: fast, accurate, and decisive. Below are some tips for making a 90-degree turn: 1. Keep the right side of the car close to the outer right-angle line while moving forward. When the middle of the left and right front door triangular windows aligns with the inner and outer right-angle lines, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right, then straighten it when the car is aligned. 2. Use first gear without accelerating; try to stay as close as possible to the right side line during the turn. When the seatbelt area inside the cabin passes the corner, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left until it's fully turned. Once the car's front aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel to prepare for the next 90-degree turn. 3. Use first gear without accelerating. When entering the test area, stay as close as possible to the right curb. Once the front curb is blocked from view by the engine hood, turn the steering wheel sharply to the left until it's fully turned. Once the car's front aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel. 4. Before entering the turn, keep the car as far away as possible from the turning point marker on both sides of the road and drive slowly forward. When the center of the small triangular window on the side closest to the turning point aligns with the turning point, turn the steering wheel all the way to that side. After passing through, straighten the steering wheel when the car's front is aligned.

What's the matter with coasting in N gear?

N gear is neutral, and P gear is parking gear. Coasting in N gear is a normal phenomenon. The following is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission: 1. P gear: P gear is used when parking by moving the gear selector to the P position, which locks the output shaft with the transmission's parking brake device. Tighten the hand brake, and the car will not move. 2. R gear: R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. Never shift into reverse gear before the car has come to a complete stop, otherwise the transmission will wear out quickly. 3. D (drive) gear: D gear represents the forward gear, used for normal driving. By placing the gear selector in D gear, the car will automatically shift gears while driving. On long downhill slopes, since the D gear of an automatic transmission does not have engine braking, you should not keep it in D gear, otherwise the speed will increase, leading to potential safety hazards. 4. L gear: L gear represents the low gear, equivalent to 2nd gear, often used when going up or down hills. 5. S gear: S gear is the sport mode, available in some car models. When the car is in S gear, you can shift freely, but there will be a delay in shifting, so the engine will maintain high revs for a longer time, increasing fuel consumption. However, it also provides greater torque output, usually used when overtaking. 6. N gear: N represents neutral, used when starting the car or towing. If waiting at a traffic light for a long time, it's best to shift into N gear and tighten the hand brake. However, coasting in N gear (neutral) downhill is prohibited, as it not only doesn't save fuel but also damages the transmission. 7. M gear: Cars with manual-automatic transmission have an M gear, which is the manual mode. When switched to M gear, you can shift gears as needed by pushing "+" or "-" or using paddle shifters to upshift or downshift.
