The reason is that puncture-proof tires are more expensive compared to ordinary tires, have higher maintenance costs in the long run, are difficult to replace, and are prone to increased fuel consumption. Below is a detailed introduction about puncture-proof tires: Overview: Puncture-proof tires have a layer of high-molecular composite material bonded to the inner wall of the vacuum tire, which is in a soft, solid gel state. The tire protection system includes comprehensive safety technologies such as tire explosion-proof, leak-proof, noise reduction, energy-saving, and maintenance. Principle: When sharp objects like nails penetrate or are pulled out of the tire, the high-molecular composite material can quickly surround the object and seal the puncture in time, achieving a protective effect. Other Functions Besides Puncture-Proof: Leak-proof, bulletproof, buffering against blowouts, noise reduction, etc.

Where is the one-button start for Li Auto?

The start button for the Li ONE is located on the right side of the steering wheel, on the lower right panel. The one-button start is a part of the smart car's system, designed to simplify the ignition process with a single button that can also turn off the engine. In case of an emergency while driving, pressing the one-button start for more than 3 seconds can shut down the engine. The correct usage of the one-button start is as follows: 1. Turning off the engine while driving: In an emergency during driving, the engine can be shut down by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively, switching the power to ACC mode. 2. Restarting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls during driving, it can be restarted without pressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to N (neutral position) and pressing the engine start/stop button. 3. Low battery or malfunction of the smart key: If the smart key battery is low or the smart key is not functioning properly, replace the battery promptly. If the vehicle needs to be used, the door can be opened with the mechanical key, and the smart key can be inserted into the smart key cylinder to start the engine. 4. Steering wheel lock: When the engine start/stop button is in OFF mode, the steering wheel is locked for anti-theft purposes. When the door is opened or the smart key is removed from the smart key cylinder, the steering wheel will automatically lock. Normally, when the engine start/stop button is in ACC mode, the steering wheel will automatically unlock. If the steering wheel does not unlock normally, turn it left and right while pressing the engine start/stop button to release tension and unlock the steering wheel.

What to Do If You Keep Crossing the Line in the S-Curve During Subject 2 Driving Test?

Here are the solutions for keeping crossing the line in the S-curve during Subject 2 driving test: 1. Drive the vehicle toward the curve driving test area, reduce speed, so that even if you make a mistake, you have time to correct it. 2. When entering the S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car, try to keep the outer front wheel close to the right edge of the curve, and move forward in 1st gear with half-clutch. Do not stop during the process. Also, observe the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure the vehicle follows the S-path. 3. Turning left: Drive the vehicle close to the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left, while making slight adjustments to keep the left front corner and the right edge line aligned. This way, the vehicle will follow the S-path to the left without crossing the line. After completing the left turn, prepare to turn right. 4. Turning right: When the left front corner gradually moves past the right edge line of the left turn, keep the steering wheel steady. When the right vertex of the front hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the steering wheel and move forward slowly for a while. 5. When you see the left 1/3 of the front hood touch the left edge line of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right, while making slight adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. This way, the vehicle will follow the S-path to the right without crossing the line.

What Does the Triangle with an Exclamation Mark Mean in a Car?

A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S dealership for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common warning symbol in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission fault warning, signaling issues with the transmission or low transmission fluid levels. Immediate replacement of transmission fluid is required. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, indicating either a malfunction in the brake system or low brake fluid levels. Immediate inspection of the brake system is necessary to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is a lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S dealership for inspection as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the issue.

What are the contents of the Subject 1 exam?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates the contents of the Subject 1 exam: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of main safety devices, and basic knowledge of daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 exam consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theoretical exam or driver's theoretical exam, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes theoretical driving basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Notes for the Subject 1 exam: Candidates should pay attention to their attire during the exam; no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal items in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay and reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the exam process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 only allow five attempts each. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
