Car fuse locations are as follows: 1. Generally, there are two fuse boxes in a vehicle containing the car fuses. One is located on the right side of the engine compartment, mainly responsible for the safety of external electrical components such as ECU, windshield washer fluid, lights, horn, ABS circuit protection, etc. The other is located on the lower left side of the steering column, primarily ensuring the normal operation of interior electrical devices like cigarette lighter, power windows, electric seats, and airbags. 2. If any electrical equipment stops working during vehicle operation, it may be caused by a blown fuse and requires prompt replacement.

When I first learned car repair, I also spent a long time locating the fuse box. Cars generally have two fuse boxes. The largest one is in the engine compartment, usually near the battery or close to the firewall. You can see densely packed small squares by opening the plastic cover. Another one is located on the driver's side—you need to look down below the steering wheel, possibly hidden around the knee area or behind the storage compartment. In my Honda, it's right above the left side of the accelerator pedal, where you can feel a clip-on cover by reaching out. Some off-road vehicles design it behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, requiring the removal of two screws. Remember to disconnect the power before operation, and it's best to have a dedicated fuse puller handy—otherwise, your fingers might hurt from prying.

Do Aftermarket Three-Way Catalytic Converters Contain Metal?

Generally, qualified aftermarket three-way catalytic converters contain metal content. These include precious metals such as platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), and palladium (Pd). Below is some additional information: 1. Three-Way Catalytic Converter: A three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases like CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. Precautions: High-quality aftermarket three-way catalytic converters are generally fine, but the automotive parts market is mixed with varying quality. It is recommended to replace the catalytic converter with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part at a 4S shop. Typically, OEM catalytic converters offer better compatibility than aftermarket ones. Using a low-quality catalytic converter can not only lead to excessive emissions but also increase exhaust backpressure, negatively affecting engine performance.

Why is it acceptable to drive at 60 km/h on an elevated ramp with a speed limit of 40 km/h?

Because when the speed limit is below 60 km/h, exceeding it by less than 50% does not incur penalties, hence driving at 60 km/h on an elevated ramp with a speed limit of 40 km/h is acceptable. Below are specific details about motor vehicle speed limits: 1. Introduction: Speed limits are imposed on certain vehicles for safety considerations, restricting their maximum speed. For example, high-end sedans and sports cars from German brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi have their top speeds limited to 250 km/h. 2. Basis: The establishment of speed limit standards is not solely based on the number of lanes but takes into account factors such as road classification, traffic volume, road width, and the presence of median barriers. For instance, the speed limit for primary highways can be set between 60-100 km/h depending on specific conditions, while secondary roads may have limits of 40-80 km/h. Therefore, setting a speed limit of 60 km/h is backed by policy rationale.

Should the turn signal be used for hill start and stop?

Yes, the left turn signal should be used. The turn signal is not for your own indication, but to inform other vehicles or pedestrians. Hill start and stop is an assessment point in the driver's test, which includes two test items: stopping at a designated point on an uphill road and starting on a slope. It is one of the five mandatory test items. The penalty standards for hill start and stop are as follows: 1. The front bumper of the car is not aligned with the pole line: If the front bumper of the car is not aligned with the pole line after stopping, and the deviation exceeds 50cm, it is a fail. If the deviation does not exceed 50cm, 10 points will be deducted. 2. Starting time exceeds 30 seconds: If the starting time exceeds 30 seconds, it is a fail. 3. Wheels pressing the road edge line: If the wheels press the road edge line while driving, it is a fail. 4. Vehicle rollback distance: If the vehicle rolls back more than 30cm during start, it is a fail. If the rollback is more than 10cm but less than 30cm, 5 points will be deducted per occurrence. 5. Distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line: If the distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line exceeds 50cm after stopping, it is a fail. If the distance exceeds 30cm but does not exceed 50cm, 10 points will be deducted per occurrence. 6. Parking brake not tightened: If the parking brake is not tightened after stopping, 10 points will be deducted per occurrence.

Is it mandatory to install electronic license plates in Chongqing?

Chongqing electronic license plates must be installed. An electronic license plate tag is mounted on motor vehicles, using this RFID electronic license plate as the carrier of vehicle information. When passing through road sections equipped with authorized RFID readers, the data on each vehicle's electronic license plate is collected or written to achieve various comprehensive traffic management purposes. Electronic license plates are an application based on the segmentation, extension, and enhancement of passive radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the Internet of Things. This entirely new technology can break through the bottlenecks of traditional traffic information collection methods, enabling classified and precise collection of vehicle traffic information, and ensuring the accuracy of the information source for traffic control systems.

What is the correct method for running-in a motorcycle?

Motorcycle running-in period correct method is to change to higher quality engine oil according to mileage, keep speed below 60km/h during running-in, and avoid continuous riding exceeding 30km. The running-in period generally refers to the process where mechanical components initially contact, rub, and mesh during operation. Motorcycles are gasoline-engine powered two or three-wheeled vehicles steered by handlebars, featuring lightweight maneuverability and rapid movement, widely used for patrols, passenger/cargo transport, and as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, sport bikes, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and tourers. A motorcycle consists of five major components: engine, transmission system, running gear, braking system, and electrical instrumentation.

How to Check Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid inspection involves checking if the brake pads are worn thin. If the brake pads are excessively thin, the brake fluid level will drop. Brake fluid, also known as braking fluid or hydraulic fluid, is refined from diesel distillates with the addition of thickeners and antioxidants. There are three types of brake fluid: mineral oil-based, alcohol-based, and synthetic. The typical working pressure for braking systems is 2MPa, but it can reach as high as 4 to 5MPa. All liquids possess the characteristic of being incompressible. In a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when pressure is applied to the liquid, it is quickly and uniformly transmitted throughout the liquid. Hydraulic braking systems operate based on this principle.
