When the car displays a red oil pot dripping water, it indicates that the oil warning light is on. At this time, you should immediately stop the car and check the engine oil. There are many reasons that can cause the oil warning light to come on, including insufficient oil, poor oil quality, and excessively high engine temperature. Continuing to drive may cause damage to the vehicle, so when the oil pot light on the dashboard turns red, it is essential to stop promptly, call for assistance, and wait for rescue quietly. The specific reasons are as follows: Clogging of the oil filter; Insufficient oil quantity, leading to reduced oil pumping by the oil pump or inability to pump oil due to air intake, resulting in decreased oil pressure; Poor oil quality, selecting oil with low viscosity leading to poor sealing and gas leakage; Selecting oil with excessively high low-temperature viscosity causing pumping difficulties. If the oil fault light comes on, promptly go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Methods to handle when a red oil pot appears on the dashboard are as follows: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Using qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life.

What is the function of the yellow dividing line in the middle of the road?

The yellow dotted line in the center of the road is an indicator marking. The yellow dotted line in the center of the road is mainly used to separate opposing traffic flows; if the center of the road has a yellow solid and dashed line, vehicles on the solid line side are prohibited from crossing the line or making left turns, while vehicles on the dashed line side are allowed to cross the line for overtaking or making left turns. Here is some knowledge about yellow lines: 1. Yellow dashed line at the roadside: A yellow dashed line at the roadside indicates that long-term parking is prohibited. Yellow lines are used to distinguish lanes in different directions, generally painted in the middle of the road, acting like a barrier that divides the road into two directions. 2. Double yellow dashed lines: Double yellow dashed lines indicate a tidal flow lane. A tidal flow lane refers to a lane that is opened on certain roads based on varying traffic conditions during peak hours, adjusting the number of lanes by changing the direction of lane lights to control the direction of traffic flow on the main road, thereby improving lane usage efficiency.

What is the difference between an auxiliary road and a non-motorized vehicle lane?

The difference between an auxiliary road and a non-motorized vehicle lane lies in their different functions, specifications, and quantities. Here are the relevant details: 1. Different functions: When there are too many vehicles on the main road and traffic pressure is high, some vehicles can first drive on the auxiliary road to alleviate the traffic pressure on the main road. 2. Different specifications: When there is a physical separation between one-way motor vehicle lanes and non-motorized vehicle lanes, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m; when there is a marked separation between one-way motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles, the width of the auxiliary road should not be less than 8.5m; when both motor vehicle and non-motorized vehicle traffic volumes are high, the width of the auxiliary road can be 12~13m. 3. Different quantities: Auxiliary roads should be set on both sides or one side of the main road in ground-level expressways, on the ground level under elevated roads in elevated expressways, and should preferably be continuously set in urban areas. For auxiliary roads of expressways located in suburban areas, they can be set continuously or intermittently.

What are the three golden rules of safe driving?

The three golden principles of driving safety are: concentration, careful observation, and advance prevention. Drivers are reminded that when encountering complex intersections, they should adhere to the principle of "better to stop for three minutes than to rush for one second." Every driver has experienced the initial nervousness on the road—staring ahead, gripping the steering wheel tightly, leaning forward stiffly, keeping a distance from the car in front, and driving very slowly. Situations like slopes or traffic jams often lead to stalling or shutting off the engine when starting. Objectively speaking, novice drivers do affect the speed of traffic flow and can create potential hazards. Many people refer to them as "road killers." To gain understanding, some new drivers often place signs like "Please be patient, new driver" on their rear windshields. In reality, this is unnecessary. Every driver started as a "novice." Driving is a "technical skill." As long as you are bold yet careful and pay attention to solving problems you encounter, you will soon move beyond the novice stage. Proper posture adjustment: Correct driving posture is crucial for safe driving. It not only reduces fatigue during long drives and ensures good visibility but also makes driving actions more precise and swift. Driving posture mainly relates to the steering wheel and seat.
