If the car lights have power but the car won't start, it may be due to insufficient battery voltage. Insufficient voltage doesn't mean there's no power at all—horn and lights can still work, but there may not be enough power to start the engine. Below are some tips for car battery maintenance: 1. Drive frequently: Avoid leaving the car unused for long periods; regular driving helps keep the battery charged. 2. Pay attention to device usage: Turn off lights before shutting down the engine and minimize the use of in-car charging devices to prevent battery drain. 3. Regular inspections: Have the battery's charge capacity checked at a 4S shop every six months. 4. Regular cleaning: Wipe the battery periodically to prevent the buildup of corrosive acid powder.

What causes the steering wheel to shake when braking at 100 mph?

Here are the specific reasons for steering wheel vibration when braking at 100 mph: 1. Wheel balance issue. A car's wheel is composed of a tire and a rim. When there is a problem with the wheel balance, it means the wheel is not in a balanced state during high-speed driving. If the balance data is incorrect, the wheel's rotation center will shift, causing the wheel to shake, which in turn affects the steering wheel. 2. Rim problem. If the car's rim has been impacted during previous driving, causing it to deform. Due to the deformation of the rim, the wheel may shake during driving, leading to steering wheel vibration. 3. Chassis component issue. This usually occurs in cars that have been poorly repaired after an accident. Due to the impact during the accident affecting the chassis components, steering wheel vibration may also occur.

Can Dual License Plates Be Used Outside Guangdong Province?

Dual license plates cannot be used outside Guangdong Province. Since Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau belong to different customs territories and have different legal systems, it is not possible to completely allow the free movement of motor vehicles. Corresponding vehicle registration and inspection systems for cross-border travel must be established to balance the differences between the two systems. According to the regulations of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department for Yue Z (vehicles entering Mainland China from Hong Kong and Macau) license plates, as of now, the driving range is limited to within Guangdong Province. From a hardware perspective, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau economic zone is connected through major transportation routes such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, linking Hong Kong, Macau, and the Mainland to form a transportation network around the Pearl River Delta. From a software perspective, the Yue Z license plate is an essential credential for genuine travel between Hong Kong, Macau, and the Mainland.

Comparison between Ford Escort 5w40 and 5w30?

Comparison between Ford Escort 5w40 and 5w30: Engine Oil: These two types of engine oil have the same low-temperature fluidity, but differ in high-temperature performance. 5w40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing performance. However, due to the increased viscosity, it results in greater engine running resistance and higher fuel consumption. The Ford Escort uses Ford's semi-synthetic oil, but owners can also opt for full synthetic oil, with the oil grade being 5w30. Applicability: In terms of applicability, the original factory oil is more suitable for the engine. However, depending on different needs, engine oils can have other benefits such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, and performance enhancement. Therefore, brands like Mobil, Shell, and Castrol can also be considered.
