Hazard lights can only be used in cases of vehicle malfunction or severe weather conditions. Below are specific situations when hazard lights should be activated: Traffic Accidents: When involved in a traffic accident where the vehicle cannot be moved to a safe area, hazard lights must be turned on. Additionally, a warning triangle should be placed behind the vehicle to alert approaching drivers, followed by calling the police and waiting for assistance. Vehicle Breakdown: If the vehicle becomes inoperable due to special circumstances and is awaiting rescue, hazard lights should be activated to indicate to other drivers that the vehicle is not in normal operating condition. Specially Permitted Vehicles: Vehicles granted special permission by traffic police authorities may use hazard lights.

Having driven for over a decade, I've found that hazard lights are primarily used in emergency situations. For example, if a car suddenly breaks down and is parked by the roadside, turning on the hazard lights can immediately alert vehicles behind to avoid a collision, ensuring safety. Hazard lights should also be activated at accident scenes to notify others of the situation. During rainy, foggy conditions, or nights with poor visibility, turning on hazard lights makes your vehicle more noticeable to others, preventing accidents. It's acceptable to briefly use hazard lights when temporarily stopping on the highway to pick someone up, but avoid abusing them during regular traffic jams as it can disrupt traffic flow and create hazards. Remember, hazard lights are life-saving tools—using them correctly protects both yourself and others.

Mazda CX4 locked and unable to start?

There are many reasons why a car cannot start. If the car's anti-theft system malfunctions, it may be due to abnormal operation of the motor. Additional information: First, check whether the motor is operating normally. You can try using another battery to assist. If it operates normally, retrieve the engine anti-theft fault code to troubleshoot issues such as ignition cylinder pressure, fuel pressure, valve timing, and whether the exhaust pipe is clogged. Replace any damaged components. If the car is locked and unable to start, it is mostly due to a malfunction in the car's anti-theft system. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for specialized handling. Note: Regular repair shops may not be able to resolve the issue, while 4S shops have specialized tools to reset the anti-theft system. The car's anti-theft system effectively protects the vehicle's security.

How to Make DIY Automotive Body Filler?

Steps for preparing automotive body filler: 1. Purchase a can of polyester putty (also called body filler) as the base material from online stores or auto parts shops, then place an appropriate amount on a mixing board. 2. Add the hardener to the base material at a ratio of 100:2 to 100:3. Alternatively, high-concentration hide glue can be used as the hardener for polyester putty, as long as it can achieve curing. 3. Mix thoroughly until achieving a thick paste consistency before application. Two crucial precautions when preparing automotive body filler: 1. Strictly control the hardener quantity according to the mixing ratio. Otherwise, even with continuous stirring, achieving the desired paste consistency becomes difficult, which will significantly reduce the filler's adhesion and adversely affect subsequent painting processes. 2. The working time of polyester putty is limited (typically 10 minutes), so the mixing speed must be accelerated accordingly.
