The control switch for the position lights is the light knob. For models with only manual light functions, turning the light knob one notch will turn on the position lights, and another notch will turn on the headlights. For models with automatic headlights, turning the switch to the AUTO position will automatically illuminate the position lights when the ambient light is dim. Below is relevant information about position lights: 1. Function of Position Lights: Position lights are warning lights used primarily in low-visibility conditions to alert other vehicles. 2. Position Lights Can Also Be Turned on in Hazy Weather: When the headlights are on, the position lights will also be on. In hazy weather, during evening driving, or in light rain, the position lights can be turned on separately without needing to turn on the low beams (since low beams are ineffective during the day), making it easier for vehicles ahead and behind to identify your car.

Beginner's Motorcycle Riding Tutorial?

The beginner's motorcycle riding tutorial is as follows: Tutorial: First, familiarize yourself with the motorcycle by getting on and adjusting to it. Check the brakes, clutch, transmission, and other essential components. Next, learn how to start the motorcycle. Electric start makes it much easier, but if not available, master kick-starting the motorcycle—always ensure it's in neutral before starting. Once the motorcycle is running, slightly rev the throttle to prevent stalling. Then, hold the clutch (do not release it yet), shift into gear (beginners should start in first gear), gently apply throttle while slowly releasing the clutch to complete the motorcycle's takeoff. After starting, hold the clutch again to shift gears for acceleration, then release the clutch and apply throttle. Beginners should avoid high speeds initially and focus on getting comfortable. Motorcycle Introduction: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars. It is lightweight, agile, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and as sports equipment. Broadly, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, sport bikes, off-road bikes, cruisers, and touring bikes.

Is It Normal for the Steering Wheel to Slightly Shake at 120 km/h?

It is normal for the steering wheel to slightly shake at 120 km/h. Reasons for the Shaking: Generally, the first possible cause of such an issue could be a problem with the tires. If the mass distribution of the tire is uneven, the vehicle will become unbalanced when the tires rotate at high speeds. Tire issues may arise from factors such as the detachment of balancing weights, tire repairs, excessive rim repairs, or inconsistent tire pressure. Once the vehicle becomes unbalanced, it can lead to steering wheel shaking. In such cases, a four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing of the tires are necessary, and tire replacement might be required if needed. If the problem persists even after performing these adjustments, it could be due to aging or cracking of the rubber bushings in the front lower control arms. Cracks can create gaps between structures, which may not significantly affect the vehicle at low speeds but can have a noticeable impact at high speeds, most evidently felt as steering wheel shaking. Additionally, loose or aged front suspension components might also cause steering wheel shaking during high-speed driving. Introduction to the Steering Wheel: The steering wheel is a round device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Initially, cars were steered using a tiller, which transmitted intense vibrations from the road to the driver, making it difficult to control the direction. After engines were moved to the front of the vehicle, the increased weight made it impossible for drivers to use a tiller effectively. The steering wheel was thus invented, introducing a gear system between the driver and the wheels that operates smoothly and effectively isolates road vibrations. Moreover, a well-designed steering system provides the driver with a seamless connection to the road.

Is it normal to hear a ticking sound from the chassis after parking?

It is normal to hear a ticking sound from the chassis after parking. The reasons are as follows: The ticking sound from the chassis after parking is mostly the cooling sound of the catalytic converter, which is a normal phenomenon. Of course, there are other reasons, but most of the sounds produced after the car is turned off are caused by thermal expansion and contraction, so car owners don't need to worry. Source of the sound: The ticking sound from the chassis may be the cooling sound of the catalytic converter. The working temperature of the catalytic converter is very high, so when the car is turned off, the temperature drop requires a process. Moreover, it is mostly made of metal parts, so according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, a ticking sound will occur. The cooling sound of the exhaust pipe. The ticking sound from the exhaust pipe mostly comes from the front end of the exhaust pipe and the flexible connection. When the car is running, the temperature is high, and during the temperature drop process, the ticking sound is caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the metal parts. Turbo cooling sound. Normally, the temperature of the exhaust gas produced by the car is around 700 degrees. After the car is turned off, the sound produced by the metal parts due to thermal expansion and contraction becomes more obvious. Abnormal noise caused by uneven cooling of the engine. After the car has been running for a while, the engine temperature will be very high. However, after the engine is turned off, the temperature drop rates of various parts are inconsistent, so the gaps between various parts of the engine will rub against each other due to thermal expansion and contraction, producing abnormal noise.

Is It Safe If There's No Notification After Running a Red Light for 7 Days?

If there's no notification after running a red light for 7 days, it doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. Typically, violation notification messages from traffic cameras are sent within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you may receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But this notification does not confirm a violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it's a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners usually do not receive violation notifications immediately. There is a delay, and the duration varies. After capturing a violation, electronic cameras need to transmit the relevant violation information to the traffic police management center through a dedicated channel. The information is then compiled and reviewed by relevant traffic police personnel. If confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, vehicle owners must go to the local traffic police department where the violation occurred to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if you suspect a violation, you can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received within 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic regulations through online platforms or query terminals. Methods include website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: Search for "vehicle violation query" and input vehicle information to check. Phone Query: Dial local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the location where they occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, processing must be done at the violation location. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface, input the violation license plate number and color, and send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "violation query," and clear any unresolved violations.

Why Do White Cars Develop Black Marks After Waxing That Can't Be Wiped Off?

White cars develop black marks after waxing that can't be wiped off due to paint oxidation. Explanation of the cause: Paint oxidation is closely related to waxing. The phenomenon where waxing causes the paint to appear dull is due to this. The main component of car paint is resin, which naturally oxidizes. The basic components of car wax are also resin or petroleum-based products, which are prone to oxidation as well. In fact, they can even resonate with the paint surface, accelerating oxidation. Solution: First, polish the surface to remove the oxidized layer and scratches, then perform regular maintenance. Maintenance methods: Try to wax less frequently. If waxing is necessary, be sure to choose a high-quality wax, or else the paint may become dull again in a short time. Many car waxes contain abrasive particles, which can also damage the paint surface. Glazing is not recommended, as its components are similar to wax, differing only in application method. Over time, it can also dull the paint, though it offers slightly better hardness and durability than wax. If possible, consider getting a coating, but make sure to choose a reputable service provider and negotiate the price aggressively. For a more economical option, DIY coating is recommended—it has no negative effects and works well. The advantage is cost savings, while the downside is the effort required to apply it yourself. Precautions: Do not wax a new car unnecessarily. Some people wax their new cars immediately after purchase, which is not advisable. New cars already come with a protective wax layer, and premature waxing can remove this original coating, leading to unnecessary waste. Generally, new cars do not need waxing within the first five months. Waxing frequency should be adjusted based on driving and parking conditions. For cars parked in garages and driven mostly on good roads, wax every 3-4 months. For cars parked outdoors exposed to the elements, wax every 2-3 months. However, this is not a strict rule—wax whenever the body feels rough to the touch. Before waxing, wash the car with car shampoo to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using dish soap or soapy water, as they contain sodium chloride, which can damage the paint, wax film, and rubber parts, causing the paint to lose its shine and rubber parts to age. If no car shampoo is available, rinse with clean water and dry the car before waxing. Wax the car in a shaded area to prevent the body from heating up, as high temperatures reduce wax adhesion and affect the quality of waxing.
