In an automatic car, the right side is the accelerator. Automatic transmission models only have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, both of which are controlled by the right foot. The brake pedal is on the left, and the accelerator pedal is on the right. To prevent misjudgment while driving an automatic car, manufacturers design the accelerator pedal to be lower and the brake pedal to be higher. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake, thereby preventing potential hazards. When using the accelerator pedal, the right heel should rest on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator. The ankle joint's flexion and extension movements are used to press or release the pedal. Apply gentle force when pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, ensuring smooth and gradual movements.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Single Solid Line?

Making a U-turn on a single solid line is not allowed and is considered a traffic violation. Regardless of whether it's a single or double solid line, according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators who breach prohibited markings will be fined 200 yuan and receive a 3-point penalty. Generally, on long roads, white solid lines appear in the middle section or before intersections. If the line is a yellow dashed line or white dashed line, U-turns are permitted. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited on any solid line. Permissible U-turn situations: U-turn allowed at intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. In the absence of a traffic light, U-turns can be made as long as they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turn allowed at intersections without explicit 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there are no signs explicitly prohibiting U-turns, they are allowed. 'No explicit prohibition' means the absence of 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs and no solid lines in the center of the road. U-turns permitted on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones, typically placed at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other necessary locations. Parking (including waiting at traffic lights) on these lines is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines unless there is a central barrier. U-turn allowed with a U-turn traffic light: If a U-turn traffic light is present, follow its signal—green means U-turns are permitted. When 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn Allowed' signs coexist: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn.' Important considerations when making a U-turn: Observe road markings—U-turns are never allowed on solid lines under any circumstances. Continue driving until a suitable U-turn location is found. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if 'No U-turn' is not explicitly stated, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are not allowed from the second left-turn lane. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with straight-moving vehicles; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows—some may have straight arrows. Even without explicit 'No U-turn' signs, U-turns are prohibited in such lanes. U-turns are not permitted on pedestrian crosswalks and are considered violations.

What are the reasons for fast consumption of urea?

There are several main reasons for the fast consumption of urea: Nozzle issues: Problems with the urea nozzle, such as clogging, poor atomization, or direct leakage in the urea pipeline; Sensor malfunction: The exhaust temperature sensor sends a signal to the computer board at 180 degrees, prompting the nozzle to start spraying urea. If the exhaust temperature sensor malfunctions, the urea may start spraying before reaching 180 degrees, leading to excessive urea consumption; Urea pump problems: Internal failures in the urea pump can cause pressure build-up failure, or in the case of air-assisted urea pumps, it can more easily result in excessive urea consumption.

Is the Rearview Mirror Heating Automatic?

If it's a BMW 3 Series, then the heating is automatic; other vehicles require manual activation. Rearview Mirror Heating Function: The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the rearview mirror to be heated via electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror surface during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather conditions, ensuring a clear mirror surface. Principle of Electrically Heated Rearview Mirrors: An electric heating element (heating film) is installed inside the mirror panels of both side rearview mirrors. During rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element quickly warms up to a set temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror surface to remove fog and frost.
