The position lights on the Audi A4 are located at the edges of the car's roof. Position lights are also known as width markers, commonly referred to as small lights. Function of position lights: Position lights are warning lights on a vehicle used to alert other vehicles. Literally, 'position' means warning, and 'light' refers to the outline, so position lights are warning lights used to alert other vehicles. Relevant traffic regulations: If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, obstructing traffic and making it difficult to move, the hazard warning lights should be turned on as required, and a warning sign should be placed 50-100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, position lights and rear position lights should also be turned on. Failing to turn on position lights and rear position lights at night in the event of a breakdown or accident will result in a fine.

I've been driving an Audi A4 for years and often get asked about the position lights. They're located on the inner side of the headlight assembly, typically as slim LED strips integrated with the daytime running lights; similar contour designs exist in the rear taillights. Operation is straightforward: from the driver's seat, simply rotate the end knob on the left steering column stalk to the small car silhouette icon position. These basic lights activate during dusk, foggy conditions, or when parked at night to make your vehicle's position visible to others. I recommend new owners frequently test all lights to confirm bulb functionality and proper wiring connections, preventing potential accidents caused by sudden failure. During routine maintenance, have technicians inspect lens cleanliness too - accumulated grime can obstruct light output. Remember, safety comes first - these small lights play a big role.

As a car enthusiast, I find the design of the Audi A4's position lights quite thoughtful. They are embedded along the edges of the front and rear light clusters: a small LED strip at the lower edge for the front lights and a central contour light for the rear taillights. Operation is simple with the left-hand control stalk knob—just a gentle turn to the position light symbol and you're set. I've researched that LED light sources have a long lifespan, but occasional circuit issues like poor contact can occur. In such cases, manually checking the corresponding fuse in the fuse box is necessary. Remember, maintaining appropriate light brightness is crucial for driving safety, as it helps reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. When replacing bulbs, always use genuine parts to avoid compromising the vehicle's aesthetic appeal—Audi's cohesive design is always a plus.

From a safety perspective, the position lights are the lifeline of an Audi A4 during night driving. Located on the inner side of the headlights and taillights, they can be activated simply by turning the left stalk on the steering wheel to the car icon. If these lights fail to illuminate, it becomes difficult for others to see you, posing a significant hazard. I make it a habit to check my lights every night before driving. Their position is fixed, but they may malfunction due to wiring aging. It's crucial to promptly replace any burnt-out bulbs or clean off dust and grime. Regulations require these lights to remain on constantly. Never overlook these small details—preventing minor issues ensures a safe journey.

What is the mnemonic for gear shifting techniques for beginners?

Mnemonic for gear shifting techniques for beginners: 1. Start in first gear - After getting in the car, fasten the seatbelt, hold the steering wheel with the left hand, fully depress the clutch with the left foot, place the right hand on the gear lever to engage first gear, release the handbrake, then gradually release the clutch to start moving slowly. 2. Shift gears progressively - Start in first gear, immediately shift to second gear once the car moves, shift to third gear when speed exceeds 20 mph (no need for fourth gear), and directly jump to fifth gear when speed reaches 45 mph. 3. Keep eyes on the road - Beginners may instinctively look at the dashboard or gear lever while shifting, which is dangerous. Always maintain forward vision. When shifting, release the accelerator with the right foot, wait for stable speed, depress the clutch with the left foot, promptly change gears with the right hand while keeping the left hand firmly on the steering wheel.

Is the highway free on New Year's Day?

Highway tolls are not waived on New Year's Day. The toll-free periods on Chinese highways are limited to four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as any consecutive holidays officially designated by the State Council. The free period starts at 0:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day. For ordinary roads, the toll-free status is determined by the time when the vehicle passes through the toll gate, while for highways, it is determined by the time when the vehicle exits the toll gate. The toll-free policy applies to passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer, including motorcycles that are permitted to travel on ordinary toll roads. China implements a vehicle registration system, and motor vehicles must be registered with the traffic management department of the public security authorities before they can be driven on the road. For unregistered vehicles that need temporary road access, a temporary pass must be obtained.

How to Get a Card on the Highway with a Temporary License Plate?

The method of obtaining a card on the highway with a temporary license plate is the same as that for a car with a regular license plate. The automatic card dispenser at the highway entrance detects the presence of a vehicle through magnetic field sensing and does not distinguish between temporary and regular license plates. However, the temporary license plate must be legitimate; otherwise, it is illegal. The steps to get a card are: 1. Slow down when entering the self-service card dispensing lane, move the car as close as possible to the edge of the card dispenser, and then press the button to get the card. The car should not be too far from the dispenser, or you won't be able to reach it. Opening the door to get out and take the card will waste time and may result in penalty points. 2. Whether at a manual card dispensing window or a self-service card dispenser, always shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. Many drivers fail to shift to neutral when taking the card, and if they accidentally press the accelerator, the car may lunge forward and hit the barrier, which is very dangerous.

How far can a 48v20ah battery actually go?

For a new 48v20ah electric vehicle battery, the actual range is about 50 to 60 kilometers. For an old battery, the range can be calculated based on driving habits. If you want to extend the range of a 48v20ah electric vehicle, you can add an additional battery pack. Currently, there are two types of electric vehicle batteries on the market: lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries. The lifespan of a lead-acid battery is defined by its capacity fading to 30% of its original capacity, typically around 300 full charge-discharge cycles, with a lifespan of about one and a half years. If the riding distance is short, it can last up to about 3 years. Lithium batteries have a strict charge cycle limit, around 1000 to 1200 cycles, with a lifespan of 3 to 5 years. Charging lithium batteries is the opposite of lead-acid batteries—they should be fully discharged before recharging. If the battery is not used for a long time, it should be fully charged every two months to protect the battery and extend its lifespan.
