Position lights should be turned on in low visibility conditions, such as dawn, dusk, evening, hazy weather, or rainy weather. They can be used independently to alert other vehicles of your car's position and outline, serving as a warning signal. Position lights, also known as contour lights, function similarly to anti-collision lights installed on the wingtips of aircraft. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. During dawn and dusk, human eyes have the weakest ability to distinguish colors and shapes, as the pupils are adjusting between day and night vision. Many traffic accidents occur during these times, which is precisely when position lights are most useful.

What Causes the Rubber Friction Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel rubber friction sound is caused by lack of lubrication in the steering column, faulty clock spring, or damaged damper thrust bearing. Lack of lubrication in steering column: The steering column is a crucial component for transmitting steering movements. After prolonged use, the steering column may lack lubrication, resulting in friction sounds. Solution is to add lubricating oil to the steering column. Faulty clock spring: The clock spring is installed inside the steering wheel. If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it indicates potential clock spring issues. Solution: Straighten the steering wheel, disconnect the battery negative terminal, use tools to remove the steering wheel assembly and airbag. Then remove the headlight switch trim panel, followed by the clock spring. Install a new clock spring according to the component instructions - typically by first turning clockwise to the end, then counterclockwise for 3.5 turns. Damaged damper thrust bearing: If the rubber friction sound comes from the engine compartment, inspect the damper's thrust bearing. Replace with new bearing if necessary.

Will Gear Shifting Shake Directly Result in Failure?

Gear shifting shake does not affect the test results, but it can lead to many unnecessary mistakes. It is recommended to stay relaxed during the test and avoid excessive tension. Below is additional information: 1. Upshifting Timing: When the engine has sufficient power, it emits a dull "humming" sound. If, after upshifting, there is no power shortage or shaking of the transmission mechanism, and the vehicle speed increases quickly with smooth and natural driving, it indicates accurate upshifting timing. 2. Downshifting Timing: When the vehicle speed and engine RPM continue to drop, and you feel the car losing power with engine compartment shaking, it's time to downshift one gear. Downshifting too early will cause noticeable jerking, wasting engine power and affecting the lifespan of both the engine and transmission. Downshifting too late will result in insufficient power even after downshifting, and further downshifting will still feel jerky. Misjudging the shifting timing leads to such "irreversible" consequences, inevitably affecting the driving experience.

What are the solutions for car scratches?

Here is a detailed introduction to specific solutions for different levels of vehicle scratches: 1. Scuffs: Apply a coating agent that matches the car body color. The more times you apply it, the cleaner it will look. 2. Minor scratches: If the rust is not severe, use very fine water sandpaper dipped in water to gently remove the rust spots. Avoid sanding randomly without direction. 3. Small scratches: If it's just a very shallow scratch on the surface paint, wipe it in a straight line with a compound. After the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe and then apply wax. 4. Deeper scratches exposing the primer: If you can see the color of the underlying primer, check the location of the scratch. Bumpers, rearview mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and will not rust. If the scratch appears on other parts of the car body, touch-up paint is needed; otherwise, it will rust.

How long does it take to get the license plate after selecting the number at the DMV?

You can get the license plate on the same day after selecting the number at the DMV, because the driver chooses the number through the "50-choose-1" method at the DMV. In this case, the license plate is often already made, and you can simply pick it up and install it. Time to obtain the license plate when selecting the number online: When using the online "50-choose-1" or "10-choose-1" method, the time to get the official license plate is not much different from selecting the number at the DMV. On the day of registration, you only need to present the number selection voucher. The fastest time is on the same day, while the slowest may take 2-3 working days. When using the online self-composed selection method, the selected number is usually not yet made, so it will take a longer time. Normally, it will be completed within a week. Note that if the driver chooses to receive the license plate by mail, the time to get the license plate will be longer. Generally, EMS delivery takes 3-4 days, so while waiting for the official license plate, be sure to pay attention to the validity period of your temporary plate. Once the temporary plate is about to expire, you should promptly apply for a new one. Methods to check the progress and mailing information of the license plate: Traffic Management 12123 inquiry: Register and log in to Traffic Management 12123, and you can see the progress of the license plate in the online progress section. When the license plate is made and sent out, you can also check the logistics. If your mobile phone number is bound, you will receive an SMS notification when it is sent out. Postal software inquiry: Download the "Postal Software" application—enter the page, select the motor vehicle license plate—enter the license plate number or acceptance number—check the result.
