The rightmost pedal is the accelerator pedal, and the one to its left is the brake pedal. Below are the positions and design purposes of these two pedals: How to Identify the Accelerator and Brake Positions: In automatic transmission vehicles, the accelerator and brake are easier to identify. There are only two pedals located below the driver's console, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled by the right foot. Design Purpose of the Accelerator and Brake: Based on ergonomics, the pedals are designed to allow drivers to react quickly in emergencies. To prevent confusion between the accelerator and brake while driving an automatic vehicle, manufacturers design the accelerator pedal to be lower and the brake pedal relatively higher. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake during driving, thereby preventing potential hazards.

What Fees Must Be Paid When Buying a Car?

When purchasing a car, you need to pay for the vehicle's base price, vehicle purchase tax, and insurance. Below are the details about the fees involved in buying a car: 1. Vehicle Base Price: Generally, before buying a car, people check the reference price online, but the online price is not always accurate, as 4S dealerships may offer certain discounts, making the actual ex-factory price lower. Of course, a very small number of models may have additional terminal markups, and the actual price should be confirmed based on the specific situation. 2. Vehicle Purchase Tax: According to national regulations, any vehicle that is driven on public roads must pay a vehicle purchase tax. Currently, the tax rate is 10% of the vehicle's ex-factory price. Therefore, generally speaking, the more expensive the car, the higher the purchase tax the consumer needs to pay. 3. Insurance Fees: Car insurance includes compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, with a nationally unified premium standard, although the number of car seats can affect the premium amount. Commercial insurance can be purchased voluntarily, and the price varies depending on the type of coverage chosen.

How many kilometers should the original spark plugs of the Sylphy be replaced?

Sylphy spark plugs need to be replaced at around 60,000 kilometers. Under normal maintenance conditions, car spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, but this may vary depending on the brand and engine. It is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. When removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order, and then secure the cover.

Will points be deducted if there is no fire extinguisher in the car?

Not having a fire extinguisher in the car will indeed result in point deductions, but it depends on the type of vehicle being driven. Point deductions mainly apply to vehicles such as buses, school buses, and trucks. Below is relevant information about vehicle fire extinguishers: 1. Fire extinguisher pressure gauge: During the warranty period, it is necessary to assess whether the fire extinguisher is truly effective. Not only should the manufacturing date be checked, but also the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher. If the pointer is in the green zone, it indicates the fire extinguisher is functioning normally. If it is in the yellow zone, it means the pressure is too high, and if it is in the red zone, it indicates insufficient pressure, requiring the fire extinguisher to be pressurized. 2. Factory maintenance: Fire extinguishers should undergo maintenance once every 5 years after leaving the factory. This timeframe should be noted carefully. If the fire extinguisher is ineffective, it will be useless during use, making regular inspections extremely important. 3. Replacing the fire extinguisher: Generally, the warranty period for portable carbon dioxide fire extinguishers is 10 years. After this period, the fire extinguisher should be replaced promptly.

How to Master Left and Right Distance While Driving?

Driving while looking at the rearview mirror can help you master the left and right distances. Here are some methods for mastering left and right distances while driving: 1. Left tire: After adjusting your body to the normal driving posture, the left tire is located between the point extending forward from the left edge of the steering wheel and a point 15 cm to the right of the A-pillar. Different cars and seating positions may vary. When finding this point, make sure to choose an empty road. Extend your vision along the left edge of the steering wheel. If this point coincides with the white line, observe whether the rear wheel in the rearview mirror overlaps with the left white line. Continuously adjust left or right until you find the correct point, then remember it. 2. Right tire: Generally, when the lane line aligns with the middle of the hood, the car is basically on the line. Of course, slight differences may occur due to different seating positions and car models. At this point, you can adjust the right distance and use reference points such as the wiper or spray nozzle to remember this position.
