It is advisable to promptly visit a repair shop for maintenance. Never ignore this issue, as the small dashboard is actually highly functional. Essentially, if there is a problem with the car, the vast majority of issues will be indicated on the dashboard. Here are the specifics: 1. Warning Lights: The indicators on the car dashboard are used to display the working status of various systems. Among these indicators, there is a category known as warning lights. If a warning light comes on, the driver should understand its meaning and take appropriate action. 2. External Lighting Warning Light: This warning light is commonly found in German-brand vehicles. When there is a fault with the external lighting components of the vehicle, this warning light will illuminate. Additionally, more advanced models may also display auxiliary text information when the light comes on, informing the owner exactly which bulb is faulty, making it easier for the owner to replace it in a timely manner.

Will running a yellow light in a car result in penalty points?

Running a yellow light in a car will not result in penalty points, as the yellow light serves only as a warning and does not indicate a violation. Below is relevant information about traffic lights: 1. Introduction: There are two types of traffic lights; those for motor vehicles are called vehicle lights. 2. Generalization: Typically refers to signal lights composed of red, yellow, and green (green being blue-green) colors used to direct traffic. 3. Application: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed. When the yellow light is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; those that have not should slow down and stop before the stop line and wait. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. Pedestrian crossing lights, typically composed of red and green (green being blue-green) colors, are used to direct pedestrian traffic—red means stop, and green means go.

How Many Years Does a Vehicle Belong to Scrap?

Private cars and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Private car scrapping regulations: For family-use 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. Apart from the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common commercial vehicle scrapping regulations: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public bus passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years; mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, while light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years.

What is the general width of a car including side mirrors?

The general width of a car including side mirrors is between 1700-1900 millimeters. Below is a relevant introduction to car body dimensions: 1. Definition of car body length: The distance between the two extreme points in the length direction of the car, that is, measured from the most protruding position of the front bumper to the most protruding position of the rear bumper. 2. Definition of car body width: The distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the car, which is the distance between the left and right most protruding positions. According to industry standards, the car body width does not include the extended width of the left and right side mirrors, meaning the most protruding positions should be selected after the mirrors are folded. 3. Definition of car body height: The distance from the ground to the highest point of the car. The so-called highest point refers to the highest position of the car's roof, excluding the length of the roof antenna.

What Causes the Failure to Schedule a Subject One Exam?

There are two main reasons for failing to schedule a Subject One exam. First, there may be too many applicants, making it impossible to secure a slot based on the scheduling rules. Second, sufficient training hours must be completed before scheduling the Subject One exam; otherwise, the system will prompt that training has not been attended, and the exam cannot be scheduled. Passing score for Subject One: The total duration of the Subject One exam is 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a maximum score of 100. A score of 90 or above is required to pass. The exam questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver's license examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." Exam procedure: Follow the staff's instructions and collect your driving training file in order at the waiting area. Carry and present your ID card for verification by the supervising officer. Mobile phones must be turned off upon entering the exam area. No loud talking is allowed in the exam area. Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the exam area (or must be placed in a bag). After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam area. Candidates who pass the exam must sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving. Candidates who fail the exam may leave immediately and wait for their driving school to notify them of the retake schedule.

What is the wading depth of a car?

The wading depth of a car refers to the distance of the vehicle's ground clearance. The greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Below is relevant information about the minimum ground clearance of a car: 1. Definition: The standard for "minimum ground clearance" is GB/T3073.3-1993, defined as the distance between the most protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is fully loaded (allowing maximum load mass). The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground. 2. Range: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, reducing stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Should Front and Rear Brake Pads Be Replaced Together or Separately?

Front and rear brake pads do not need to be replaced together, as they have different replacement cycles. Compared to front brake pads, rear brake pads have a longer service life. Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads typically require replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last around 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers before needing replacement. Below is relevant information about brake pads: Replacement Timing: There is no fixed time for replacing brake pads; the above figures are only approximate. The replacement cycle of brake pads is not only directly related to their service life but also depends on the vehicle's driving conditions and the driver's habits. New brake pads are approximately 1.5 centimeters thick. When they wear down to about one-third of their original thickness, or around 5 millimeters, they should be replaced promptly. When replacing brake pads, both pads on the same axle should be replaced together to ensure balanced braking performance on both sides. Materials: Brake pads are currently made from materials such as asbestos, high-carbon fiber, semi-metallic, ceramic, and others. Asbestos brake pads have been phased out, with semi-metallic and ceramic being the most common today. Semi-metallic pads are more affordable and widely used in household vehicles. Ceramic pads, on the other hand, offer better performance than metallic ones—they are more wear-resistant, heat-stable, and dissipate heat quickly, with a higher friction coefficient. However, they are also more expensive and are typically used in mid-to-high-end vehicle models.
