The flashing light inside a car is an anti-theft indicator. Its function is: when the driver locks the doors using the remote control after exiting the vehicle, the flashing light indicates that the car's anti-theft system has been activated. The car anti-theft system refers to a system designed to prevent the theft of the vehicle itself or items inside it. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuits, alarm devices, and actuators. The main types of electronic anti-theft systems are: 1. Key-controlled type: The system is armed or disarmed by using the key to lock or unlock the doors. 2. Remote-controlled type: The system can remotely lock or unlock the doors, meaning it can remotely arm or disarm the car's anti-theft system. 3. Alarm type: When the car is stolen, this system only sounds an alarm without preventing the vehicle from moving. 4. Anti-theft alarm with vehicle immobilization: In case of theft, besides sounding an alarm, this system also cuts off the car's starting circuit, ignition circuit, or fuel supply to prevent the vehicle from being moved.

Is it allowed to drive on highways during the probationary period?

Driving on highways is not allowed during the probationary period. The following are the reasons why driving on highways is prohibited during the probationary period: Sudden steering wheel movements: Due to lack of driving experience and insufficient psychological resilience, novice drivers often cannot calmly handle emergency situations such as sudden braking by the vehicle in front or illegal lane changes by other vehicles. In such cases, their first reaction is usually to jerk the steering wheel abruptly, which can lead to tragic consequences if excessive force is applied. Slow driving in the fast lane: When novice drivers first start driving, they often feel scared as speed increases and tend to reduce their speed. However, driving slowly in the fast lane is also very dangerous.

Are Korean Cars Suitable for 5W40 Engine Oil?

Korean cars are not suitable for 5W40 engine oil. Below are the reasons why 5W40 oil is not recommended for Korean cars and an introduction to the functions of engine oil: High viscosity of 5W40 oil: Korean cars' engines do not operate at high RPMs, and their working temperatures are relatively low, so there is no need to use engine oil with such high viscosity. If the oil viscosity is too high, it will increase the resistance during engine operation, leading to reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption. Functions of engine oil: Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine. It serves multiple purposes within the engine, including lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, cushioning, and rust prevention. Without engine oil, the engine would not be able to function properly.

What are the materials used for car seats?

Car seat materials are divided into the following categories: 1. Fabric seats, which are made of textile materials: Their advantages include good breathability, resistance to damage, strong surface friction, providing a more stable seating feel without slipping, resistance to heat and sunlight, and long lifespan. However, they tend to look worn after prolonged use. 2. Leather seats, which are made of leather materials: Leather materials can highlight the car's premium feel and provide a more comfortable riding experience, enhancing the owner's taste and status; they are highly durable, easy to maintain, and simple to care for, but have poor breathability; leather seats heat up quickly under sunlight, turning the car into a 'steamer' rapidly. 3. NAPPA seats, which are high-end genuine leather seats: Nappa is a leather-making style, often characterized by a soft grain surface. It is usually made from sheepskin, top-grain cowhide, or split leather, featuring a smooth surface and soft texture. They often incorporate perforated ventilation designs and can support seat heating. Nappa leather heats up quickly and retains heat for a long time after heating, while grain leather is also relatively easy to clean. However, Nappa leather is more delicate, with average durability, and may develop irreversible wrinkles and scratches after tens of thousands of kilometers of use.
