Resin can be used for repair, but it depends on the specific situation. If there are no extending cracks, and the damage points are few and small, it can be repaired. If the damage is not in the main line of sight, has extending cracks, and the extension is within 5mm, the owner should go to a professional maintenance shop for windshield repair as soon as possible. Below is an introduction to car glass crack repair: 1. Repair with professional tools: Short cracks in car glass are generally repaired using specialized repair tools and repair fluid. The repair fluid is filled into the cracks through the repair tools, solidifying to eliminate the gaps, thereby achieving the purpose of repair. It should be noted that if cracks appear on the glass, those that can be repaired should be repaired as soon as possible, and those that need to be replaced should be replaced in time. Because during driving, the windshield needs to withstand wind resistance and constant vibration. Over time, small cracks will slowly extend, the cracks will gradually lengthen, and the area will increase. At this time, glass that could have been repaired may only be replaceable. 2. Long cracks suggest replacing the glass: Long cracks in car glass are difficult to repair. After all, the effect of repairing large cracks is not good, leaving obvious marks, and the strength of the repaired windshield cannot be guaranteed. There may be a risk of re-cracking, posing certain safety hazards, so it is recommended to replace the glass. In addition, the cost of replacing the glass is relatively expensive. If you have insurance, it is recommended to go through the insurance.

What does L gear mean?

L gear refers to the low gear. When going downhill or on long slopes, shifting to this gear restricts the car's automatic transmission to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine braking when descending, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger. D gear is the drive gear, and the car must be shifted to D to move forward. P gear is the parking gear; when the car is parked and not in use, shifting to this gear mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling. R gear is the reverse gear, used when backing up the car.

What does it mean when the cruisemain light is on?

cruisemain light indicates that the vehicle's cruise control mode is activated. This system can only be engaged when the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h. During highway driving, after setting the desired speed, you can release the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will maintain a constant speed. Some high-end models' cruise control systems feature automatic trajectory recognition and obstacle avoidance capabilities. For instance, when going uphill or downhill, the cruise control system can automatically compensate to maintain a relatively constant vehicle speed. Cruise control is also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the set speed without requiring the driver to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed.

Can You Make a U-Turn Over a Solid Yellow Line?

Making a U-turn over a solid yellow line is not allowed and constitutes a traffic violation. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. On long stretches of roads, solid white lines, dashed white lines, solid yellow lines, or dashed yellow lines are typically present in the middle sections or before intersections. U-turns are prohibited wherever solid lines are present. Permissible U-turn scenarios: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn is allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. In the absence of a traffic light, perform the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs: U-turns are permitted where there is no explicit prohibition. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No left-turn" signs and the absence of solid lines in the center of the road. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances/exits of important facilities, or other designated areas. Stopping on these lines (including waiting at traffic lights) is a violation. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central road barrier. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, proceed only when it is green. Simultaneous presence of no-left-turn and U-turn-allowed signs: U-turns are permitted even if left turns are prohibited, but "No U-turn" does not mean "No left-turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings—U-turns are never allowed over solid lines under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If a "No left-turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, as U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are not allowed from the second left-turn lane. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with straight-moving vehicles, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows—some may have straight arrows. Even without explicit "No U-turn" signs, U-turns are prohibited in such lanes. U-turns on crosswalks are illegal and constitute a violation.

How many driver's licenses can be used for demerit points deduction for one vehicle?

A vehicle can only use three different driver's licenses for demerit points deduction, and the license holder must personally present the license for the deduction. If a motor vehicle driver's demerit points in a scoring period do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared. If the demerit points have not reached 12 but there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will carry over to the next scoring period. If a driver accumulates 12 demerit points in a scoring period, they must attend training and pass the subject one exam at the issuing vehicle management office or the local vehicle management office where the violation occurred to clear the full-point record and restore the normal use of the driver's license. The documents required for the 12-point demerit training include the original driver's license and the applicant's identity proof.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake When Braking?

Steering wheel shaking when braking is caused by issues in the braking system. The friction between the brake pads and discs generates vibrations, which also cause the steering knuckle to shake. When the steering knuckle shakes, the tires slightly wobble, leading to movement in the steering gear. Consequently, the steering wheel connected to the steering gear also shakes. If the brake disc surface has play, slight jumps in the brake pedal may occur during high-speed braking. These jumps are transmitted through the related steering system to the steering wheel, causing it to shake left and right. After resurfacing the brake discs, they can be reused. The braking system has high requirements for surface flatness. Some brake discs or their surfaces may have dirt, which can deform due to heat, leading to unevenness and resulting in vibrations.

Do China VI New Cars Still Need a Break-in Period?

China VI new cars do require a break-in period. Key considerations for the break-in process include: 1. Avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving, as this may shock the braking system during break-in and increase impact loads on both the chassis and engine; 2. Do not overload the vehicle - operating at full capacity during the break-in period may damage mechanical components. Generally, cargo weight should not exceed 75% to 80% of the rated load capacity; 3. When driving on highways, maintain speeds up to 120 km/h with engine RPM below 3,000. During long-distance trips, take approximately 10-minute breaks at service areas; 4. Change engine oil according to the manufacturer's specified intervals during the break-in period, avoiding premature replacement.
