During driving, high beams should only be used when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles. Below are the precautions for using low beam and high beam in cars: 1. Low beam must be turned on in the following situations: when driving in areas without streetlights at night, or during dusk when it is relatively dark or at dawn when light first appears; if encountering heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain that obstructs visibility, low beam must be turned on even during the day; on some roads where there are lighting facilities but the brightness is insufficient, low beam should also be turned on. 2. High beam should only be used when there are no other lighting facilities on the road and no oncoming vehicles. Otherwise, it will seriously interfere with the vision of other drivers and may even cause traffic accidents. Be careful not to mistakenly use high beam instead of low beam. 3. High beam must be immediately switched to low beam in the following situations: first, when there is an oncoming vehicle; second, when the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same direction is relatively close; third, when the road already has sufficient lighting, as well as when crossing railway intersections or returning to busy streets.

Why does the chassis make a crackling sound after the car is turned off?

After the car is turned off, the crackling sound from the chassis is caused by the cooling of the exhaust pipe's three-way catalytic converter, which produces the sound due to thermal expansion and contraction. This is a normal phenomenon and nothing to worry about. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial purification device in the exhaust system. Its main function is to convert the three harmful substances—CO, HC, and NOx—into harmless substances. Here are some details about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Composition: The three-way catalytic converter contains platinum, rhodium, and palladium. 2. Functions of each element: Platinum, rhodium, and palladium effectively catalyze nitrogen oxides and particulate matter in the exhaust, so vehicles equipped with a three-way catalytic converter have much less noticeable exhaust odor.

What are the precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui?

Precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui are as follows: 1. Warm up the car in advance: The Geely Xingrui 2.0T is equipped with an advanced one-key ignition start system. Even with one-key start, the car still needs to be "warmed up," although the current warming process differs from the traditional idle warm-up. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat to a suitable position and fasten the seatbelt. 2. Speed control: During the "break-in period," it is best to keep the speed between 40 km/h and 100 km/h. Driving at excessive speeds places a greater burden on the vehicle compared to moderate speeds. Always accelerate gradually and avoid maintaining the same speed for extended periods. During the first 300-500 kilometers of a new car, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can cause the car to adapt poorly.

Why is the Natural Gas Vehicle Lacking Power?

Natural gas vehicles often experience insufficient power primarily due to the lack of engine modifications during the conversion process. When converting a vehicle to run on natural gas, the engine is typically left unchanged to accommodate both fuel types (gasoline and natural gas). As a result, the vehicle's power output when using natural gas is usually reduced by 5-15% compared to gasoline. Solutions to address the lack of power in natural gas vehicles are as follows: 1. Solution 1: Increase the ignition timing by 12 to 17 degrees from the original setting. Natural gas itself has stable chemical properties, a higher ignition point than gasoline, and burns slower. Advancing the ignition timing can help reduce power loss. 2. Solution 2: Upgrade to a high-energy ignition system by installing a better ignition coil. Since the flame propagation of natural gas is slower than gasoline, this modification ensures more complete combustion of natural gas, thereby improving vehicle power.

What Does Used Car Refurbishment Mean?

Used car refurbishment refers to the process of thoroughly inspecting a purchased used car for any issues and addressing any problems found. Below is relevant information about purchasing used cars: 1. Solutions for issues with used cars: According to Chinese used car laws, general used cars do not come with a quality guarantee, but it is required to sign a contract during the transaction. The contract should clearly describe any existing problems with the used car, such as if the car has been involved in a major accident or is a repaired vehicle from a significant collision. If the seller conceals the true condition of the vehicle and fails to disclose it in the contract, the buyer can use the contract to resolve issues through market coordination. If the market does not intervene, the buyer can apply for arbitration or seek legal resolution. Commercial insurance can help recover some losses through policy cancellation. 2. Ways to purchase used cars: Used car trading markets offer the best hands-on experience. Online used car platforms provide the widest selection of vehicles. Personal car listings offer the most favorable prices.

How to Install a Motorcycle Trunk?

Professional tools such as screws, screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers. Find a dedicated base under the trunk. Fix the base onto the rear rack of the motorcycle using screws and an iron plate to align the direction. Secure the trunk onto the base by screwing in a plug or using a clip to complete the installation. If the trunk does not come with pre-drilled screw holes or a dedicated base, you will need to drill holes at the bottom of the trunk. The vehicle's components should be intact, with no missing parts. The paint layer, chrome plating, and galvanized parts should be shiny and free from scratches or peeling.
