The Patrol belongs to a full-time four-wheel drive system, and it uses a multi-plate clutch-type central differential. Vehicles equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system have power delivered to all four wheels at all times. The full-time four-wheel drive system can enhance the grip of the wheels, thereby improving the car's handling and driving stability. The Patrol is a large SUV under Nissan, with dimensions of 5165mm in length, 1995mm in width, and 1955mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3075mm. The Nissan Patrol is equipped with two engines: one is a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 5.6-liter naturally aspirated engine.

I've been driving my Patrol for daily commutes and weekend trips, and I find its four-wheel drive system particularly practical. The Patrol uses a full-time four-wheel drive system called All-Mode 4WD, which means it automatically distributes power like a regular car during normal driving, but you can manually switch to four-wheel drive mode when needed, such as on muddy roads or during rainy conditions to enhance traction. I remember one time after the rain when I was rushing to the office and encountered flooded roads—the system was extremely stable, with no drifting at all. It's fuel-efficient during normal driving, and switching to off-road mode allows you to tackle small slopes and such. The system is thoughtfully designed, making it easy for beginners to use without constantly monitoring the dashboard. As for maintenance, I just get an annual tire check to ensure everything is in order. Overall, it gives me a sense of security when driving, and I don’t have to worry about changing road conditions during long trips.

As an experienced off-road enthusiast, I absolutely love the Patrol's 4WD system. It's equipped with All-Mode 4WD that can handle all kinds of terrain challenges. The basic modes include 2WD for fuel efficiency, 4H (high-range 4WD) for slippery roads, and 4L (low-range 4WD) specifically designed for steep slopes and rocky paths. I often take it to the desert - just engage 4L with the differential lock and the wheels lock instantly, making dune climbing effortless. The system responds quickly with smooth transitions and never gets stuck. It drives smoothly in daily use too, with excellent anti-slip performance in rain or snow. I recommend using 4H mode frequently to protect components and extend their lifespan. This vehicle offers great value for money and is perfect for adventure-loving buddies.

Is it permissible to overtake from the right lane while driving?

Overtaking from the right lane while driving is not permitted. Below is an introduction regarding overtaking from the right: 1. Concept: A vehicle traveling in the same lane merges into the right lane, overtakes the vehicle ahead, and then merges back into the original lane. The key factor in determining whether this constitutes 'overtaking from the right' is the position where the vehicle changes lanes—if the vehicle changes lanes both before and after overtaking at a considerable distance from the vehicle ahead, then this act of overtaking from the right lane does not count as 'overtaking from the right.' 2. Criteria for judgment: The decisive factor in determining overtaking from the right lane is observing the complete maneuver of the overtaking vehicle: a vehicle traveling in the same lane merges into the right lane, overtakes the vehicle ahead, and then merges back into the original lane. In this process, the position where the vehicle changes lanes is crucial—if the vehicle merges back into the original lane both before and after overtaking at a significant distance from the overtaken vehicle, then this act of overtaking from the right lane cannot be considered 'overtaking from the right.' 3. Penalty standards: According to traffic laws, overtaking from the right while driving is prohibited. Those who overtake improperly will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Overtaking is allowed, but overtaking from the right is prohibited because it is a blind spot.

Calculation of safe following distance: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, the safe following distance should be more than 100 meters; when the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the minimum safe following distance should not be less than 50 meters. 2. Precautions: (1) Pay attention to the warning signs and auxiliary lines on the highway. When driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, maintain a safe distance of more than 200 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane. (2) In adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, etc., it is essential to stay alert and increase the safe driving distance. When encountering low visibility conditions like fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail, exercise extra caution, increase the following distance by more than double, and ensure to maintain a safe distance to prevent rear-end collisions.

Can a New Car Be Replaced If Problems Occur?

To replace a new car due to problems, it must be within the car's three-guarantee period and meet the conditions for return. When returning the car, usage compensation fees must be refunded. Below is an introduction to the replacement or return of a new car: 1. Compensation Fees: The calculation formula for reasonable usage compensation fees is: [(Car Price (yuan) × Mileage (km))/1000] × n. The usage compensation coefficient n is determined by the manufacturer based on factors such as the duration and condition of the car's use, ranging between 0.5% and 0.8%, and is clearly stated in the three-guarantee certificate. 2. Conditions for Returning the Car: The car can be returned if there is a failure in the steering system, braking system, body cracking, or fuel leakage. If serious safety performance faults are repaired twice without resolution or new serious safety performance faults occur. If the engine, transmission, or the same major component of the engine or transmission is replaced twice and still cannot function normally. If the same major component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body is replaced twice and still cannot function normally. 3. Conditions for Replacing the Car: The car can be replaced if the same fault is repaired more than five times. Within the three-guarantee validity period (the three-guarantee period is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first), if the car's repair time accumulates to more than 35 days, or if repairs due to the same product quality issue accumulate to more than five times, the consumer can replace the car. Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the car purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of mileage (whichever comes first).

What Causes the Engine Fault Yellow Light to Illuminate?

Engine fault yellow light illumination may be caused by sensor issues, maintenance problems, or engine component failures such as spark plug malfunction, ignition coil failure, fuel pump issues, or fuel line blockage. Below are two scenarios explaining the illumination of the engine fault yellow light: 1. Normal illumination: When the vehicle's power is turned on, the system performs a self-check. During this time, not only the engine yellow light but also other fault indicators will illuminate simultaneously before turning off, which is a normal process. 2. Abnormal illumination: If the engine fault yellow light remains on after starting the vehicle, this indicates that the ECU has detected a fault in the engine system, which is an abnormal condition.
