For automotive use, dry powder fire extinguishers or water-based fire extinguishers are suitable. According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, it is advisable to choose one between 1 to 3 kilograms. Additionally, due to less-than-ideal storage conditions inside the vehicle, it is best to opt for either a dry powder or water-based fire extinguisher. The usage guidelines for dry powder fire extinguishers are as follows: 1. Shake First: Before use, thoroughly invert and shake the extinguisher several times to ensure the powder inside is loosened; 2. Aim at the Base of the Flame: Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand, and aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flame; 3. Press the Handle: Firmly press the handle of the extinguisher, at which point the dry powder will be discharged from the nozzle.

How many points will be deducted for making an immediate U-turn after driving in the wrong direction on the highway?

Drivers who make an immediate U-turn after driving in the wrong direction on the highway will have 12 points deducted and will also be fined. If you realize you've missed an exit while driving, it is recommended not to drive in the wrong direction. Instead, continue driving to the nearest exit or service area. Near the exit toll booth, there is usually a designated U-turn exit for drivers who have taken the wrong route. You can return to the highway from there and find the appropriate lane using the signage. If you see a service area, look for the connecting tunnel in the middle. Driving through the connecting tunnel will allow you to enter the opposite service area. This can save you from paying extra highway tolls, as vehicles within the highway's internal circulation area are not charged for round trips. Other traffic violations on the highway include: Speeding, driving in the emergency lane, prolonged stopping on the guide line, and covering the license plate number.

Is it necessary to install a rear camera for the dash cam?

It is necessary to install a rear camera for the dash cam. Here is some information about dash cams: Introduction: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. Function: After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process, including video images and sounds, providing evidence for determining traffic accident liability. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also be used to document the process of overcoming challenges. While driving, it continuously records videos, capturing time, speed, and location, much like a "black box." Principle: Dash cams can also be used at home as a DV to record life's fun moments or as a home surveillance device. They can also serve as parking monitors. The video footage from dash cams must not be edited, as doing so would render it useless in the event of an accident. Installing a dash cam also helps prevent fraudulent claims from scammers in today's society.

What are the symptoms of a damaged car oil pump?

The symptoms of a damaged car oil pump include the engine making a harsh noise, the engine warning light turning on, the exhaust pipe emitting a large amount of black smoke, the oil pressure gauge showing excessively low pressure, severe engine shaking, and difficulty starting the car, requiring prolonged key turning. The function of the oil pump is to transport oil from the oil pan to various oil passages (cooling effect) and the oil filter (filtering the oil) through pressurization, while also lubricating the cylinders, ensuring the engine operates smoothly and normally. Causes of oil pump damage: using inferior or incorrect type of oil; clogging of the oil filter, leading to increased oil supply pressure from the oil pump; prolonged operation under such high-load conditions can accelerate the deterioration of the oil pump; insufficient oil quantity reducing the cooling effect of the oil pump; severe overheating of the internal circuits in the oil causing damage.

Can Pickup Trucks Enter Urban Areas?

Most cities have already allowed pickup trucks to enter urban areas, but some regions may implement time-based traffic restrictions. According to relevant regulations, six provinces including Hebei, Yunnan, Liaoning, Henan, Hubei, and Xinjiang have successively initiated pilot programs for lifting pickup truck restrictions, requiring all prefecture-level and lower cities to remove urban entry restrictions for pickup trucks. In fact, most regions across the country have basically completed the deregulation of pickup trucks. For private pickup trucks carrying goods into urban areas, relevant regulations specify that the standard for pickup trucks is that the loading length and width must not exceed the cargo compartment, and the height limit for loading is from the ground to the top of the cargo, which must not exceed 2500mm. A pickup truck is a type of vehicle that combines a sedan front with an open cargo compartment, featuring both the characteristics of a family car and a commercial vehicle, capable of meeting the diverse usage needs of many vehicle owners.

What are the causes of noise in the new MG 5?

The causes of noise in the new MG 5 are tire noise, wind noise, and engine-generated noise. Tire noise: Most tire noise occurs during vehicle movement, formed by the compression of air inside the tire tread gaps and the external air, creating noise. Additionally, when driving on rough roads, noise is generated by vibrations in the tire body and tread, as well as noise from the road surface. This can be reduced by switching to quiet tires or adding tire liners. Wind noise: The primary noise during car movement is wind noise. This noise is caused by pressure changes due to airflow separation during vehicle movement, resonance of airflow around the vehicle, and noise from gaps in the car body. Engine-generated noise: During cold starts, the engine noise of many car models is quite noticeable. Noise enters the cabin through the underbody guard, firewall, and fixed connectors. These noises mainly include intake noise, airflow noise, noise from certain engine components, and noise during startup while driving.
