The main reason you shouldn't stay in a car during a sandstorm is to prevent the vehicle from being buried by the heavy sandstorm, making it difficult for passengers to rescue themselves. Here are some driving precautions during sandstorm weather: 1. Maintain a safe distance: Avoid tailgating during sandstorms to allow reaction time for emergencies and prevent dust kicked up by preceding vehicles from obstructing your vision, thereby reducing accidents. 2. Use lights and horn for alerts: During daytime sandstorms, turn on your parking lights and use the horn when necessary to warn pedestrians and other vehicles; at night, use anti-glare low beams to avoid impaired visibility caused by dazzling light screens.

What is a DME Control Unit?

Engine control unit is the introduction of DME control unit. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) is the core of the automotive engine control system. It can provide the engine with the optimal air-fuel ratio mixture and the best ignition timing according to different engine operating conditions, ensuring the engine always operates in the best state, and the engine's performance (power, fuel economy, emissions) reaches its peak. It consists of a microprocessor (MCU), memory (ROM, RAM), input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), as well as shaping, driving, and other large-scale integrated circuits. The engine control unit controls and monitors all functions of the engine, including ignition and fuel injection. The engine control unit also stores data used for EWS exchange codes, which are transmitted via data lines. The DME control unit is relatively prone to damage because it has two major flaws: poor electromagnetic compatibility, making it very susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and vulnerability to temperature effects. Poor electromagnetic compatibility can trigger multiple warning lights in the car and also lead to reduced engine performance.

What does 195R15C tire mean?

95R15C refers to a tire with a tread width of 245mm and an aspect ratio of 45 (tire height ÷ tire width) (45 means 45%); R indicates that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; 15 means the rim diameter is 15 inches; C indicates the maximum speed of the tire is 60km/h. Here is some extended information about the hazards of vehicle overloading: Shortens the vehicle's service life: The manufacturing of vehicles is based on technical data, and the load limit is no exception. Once overloaded, the original design data will be altered. For example: rivets may loosen, fastening screws may fall off, welding points may break, and the entire frame may deform. Overloading shortens the vehicle's service life and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced based on the total weight of the vehicle, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. This also increases friction, leading to a shorter tire lifespan. According to measurements, a 20% overload reduces tire life by 30%, and a 40% overload shortens tire life by 50%.

Should the 2.3T Mustang use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the 2.3T Mustang should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the 2.3T Mustang can also check it on the fuel tank cap, which will also be marked. Usually, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should choose 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should choose 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies nowadays, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally speaking, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the 2.3T Mustang occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after use. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline by mistake will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, and the actual feedback experience is reduced performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases and it may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If detonation occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will appear in the upward stroke. This resistance will make the engine run very unstably. If it's just mild knocking, the noise will increase, but the damage to the engine is not significant. If there is obvious knocking, it indicates the engine's condition is already very severe. The vibration not only affects driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear of the piston and cylinder, and in severe cases, even cylinder scoring.

At what age is the A2 license downgraded under the new regulations?

According to the regulations, the A2 driver's license is downgraded at the age of 60, applicable to both men and women. Drivers should promptly visit the vehicle management office to exchange for a C1 or C2 license, which permits driving small cars and small automatic transmission vehicles. Drivers are prohibited from operating large or medium-sized buses, trucks, tractors, or rail/trolley buses. By the age of 60, most individuals have entered the elderly stage, and their physical condition cannot compare to that of younger people. Although a small percentage may maintain good physical health at 60, traffic regulations are designed for the majority. After 60, most people experience a decline in physical functions, such as reduced vision or conditions like hypertension and heart disease, making it dangerous to operate commercial vehicles. Therefore, drivers should comply with laws and regulations and promptly downgrade their licenses. The A2 license authorizes the operation of tractors, which can tow heavy or medium-sized full/semi-trailers. Trailers are categorized into two types: full trailers and semi-trailers. A full trailer bears its total weight independently, while a semi-trailer shares part of its weight with the tractor. Only drivers with an A2 license can operate such tractors; even those with an A1 license are not permitted. To downgrade an A2 license, visit the local vehicle management office with your ID card and driver's license. The A2 license will be downgraded to a B1 or B2 license. The A2 license corresponds to tractors, the B1 to medium-sized buses, and the B2 to large trucks. Other vehicle types that an A2 license holder can operate include: B1 (medium-sized buses), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). Article 68 of the new traffic regulations states: If a driver holding a license for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks meets any of the following conditions, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest-level driving qualification and notify the driver to complete the downgrade process within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive scoring cycles. A driver's license, officially known as a motor vehicle driver's license or simply 'license,' is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills. Without these skills, operating a vehicle recklessly could lead to accidents. Generally, unlicensed individuals are not allowed to drive on roads. For those who have acquired safe driving skills, the permit to drive on roads is the 'driver's license,' which serves as a 'certificate of permission.' The permission to drive is granted through the issuance of a driver's license, indicating that obtaining a license is a formal process requiring authorization by specific authorities. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as 'a document issued by competent authorities permitting the holder to drive a car.' In China, a driver's license is defined as: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal credential issued by administrative authorities to individuals who have learned and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills through training and have passed the required tests, permitting them to operate specific types of motor vehicles.
