In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. Automatic cars only have two pedals located below the driver's seat and the console, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled solely by the right foot. The gear shift is positioned in front of the center armrest on the right side, easily visible upon entering the car. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the automatic transmission's control system selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's manual judgment and gear-shifting operations. A standard automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).

What are the requirements for obtaining a designated driver license?

To become a designated driver, there is no need to take a designated driver qualification exam. As long as the driver holds a valid driver's license that meets the requirements and signs a corresponding work contract with a designated driving company, they can work as a designated driver. Below is relevant information about car designated driving services: 1. Designated Driving: This refers to a professional driver taking over the driving duties to safely transport friends who are unfit to drive, along with their car, back home. In China, this emerging profession has garnered widespread attention. Designated driving services provide a relatively safe alternative for friends who are temporarily unable to drive, and they also objectively promote the implementation of national road traffic safety laws. 2. Liability Determination: According to Article 9 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Cases Involving Compensation for Personal Damages," if an employee causes harm to others while performing employment activities, the employer shall bear the liability for compensation. If the employee causes harm due to intentional misconduct or gross negligence, they shall bear joint and several liability with the employer. The employer, after bearing joint and several liability, may seek recourse from the employee.

How Many Years Can the BYD e5 Battery Last?

The BYD e5 uses a ternary lithium battery. Due to the chemical properties of ternary lithium batteries, their capacity naturally degrades over time, leading to a reduction in driving range. According to the manufacturer's guidelines, the power battery should be replaced entirely after 8 years or 150,000 kilometers, while the battery cells are covered by a lifetime replacement warranty (for 1, 2, or 3 sets). Proper usage and maintenance can extend the lifespan of the BYD e5 power battery: 1. Regularly use charging equipment to fully charge the power battery (it is recommended to perform a full charge at least once a week). 2. When storing the vehicle unused for an extended period: Always charge the battery to 100% first, then discharge it to between 30%-40%. If the storage period exceeds three months, the battery must be recharged; otherwise, it may lead to over-discharge, reducing battery performance. 3. Charge the battery when the power level drops to the warning red mark: This ensures that the vehicle does not run out of power and become stranded. It is not recommended to charge the battery only after it is completely depleted, as this can negatively impact the battery's lifespan.

What does the yellow engine light mean?

When a car displays a yellow engine light, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's engine system. Normally, when starting the car, the onboard computer performs a self-check of the entire system, and all indicator lights will briefly illuminate. Once the startup is complete, the indicators should turn off. If the fault light remains on after the car has started, it requires inspection. Below are common car faults: 1. Brake failure: When applying the brakes while driving, the car fails to slow down or stop; after one or multiple continuous brake applications, the brakes suddenly become ineffective. Possible causes include brake fluid or air leakage in the brake lines, broken or detached pipe connections, or failed brake sealing components. 2. Poor parking brake: After engaging the parking brake, the car easily starts moving or slides when parked on a slope. Possible causes include improper adjustment, uneven surface of the brake disc (drum), severe wear or contamination of the brake friction pads. 3. Brake drag: The brakes continue to engage after releasing the brake pedal, making it difficult to start the car, reducing driving power, causing the brake drum to overheat, and shortening the coasting distance. Possible causes include excessively small gaps in brake components, failed return springs preventing the brake shoes from retracting, or corrosion in the brake operating mechanism making retraction difficult.
