Here are the solutions for the issue of the car overheating at idle but running normally when driving: 1. Visit a professional repair shop or 4S store: Clean the condenser, radiator, check the fan, and cooling system. 2. Proper flushing: When washing the car yourself, you can use a hose to flush appropriately, especially through the gaps around the car emblem where the condenser is located. Over time, it can accumulate dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris. 3. Turn on the internal circulation when using the air conditioning: This helps save costs, maintain a lower temperature inside the car, and avoid waste. 4. Use intermittent cooling: After the interior temperature has decreased, you can turn off the air conditioning and turn it back on after a while.

Can a U-turn vehicle enter the left-turn waiting area to make a U-turn?

The waiting lane can be used for U-turns. When the left turn is at a red light, if you are the first in line, you should enter the waiting area instead of waiting at the intersection. When the left turn light turns green, you can start the U-turn from the middle of the road. If you are not the first in line, as long as you have passed the pedestrian crosswalk, you can make a U-turn at any left-turn waiting area marked by dashed lines. Location of the left-turn waiting area: The left-turn lane has an extended white dashed line box several meters long, directly connecting to the middle of the road. These white dashed lines mark the "left-turn waiting area." Permissible U-turn scenarios: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions on U-turns or left turns allow U-turns: If there is no clear "No U-turn" sign, you can make a U-turn. Here, "no explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. In such cases, you can proceed with the U-turn confidently. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other designated areas. Stopping on these grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, U-turns are allowed. As long as there is no central barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, follow it. U-turns are only allowed on green. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Points to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, even if "No U-turn" is not mentioned, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns and left turns are closely related—a U-turn always involves a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to straight-moving vehicles before making a U-turn. If you interfere with straight-moving traffic, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows indicating permitted movements. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. On some roads, if the arrow indicates straight movement, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs.

How bright is an 8-watt LED light?

Generally, an 8-watt light is suitable for reading and writing. Below is a detailed introduction to the relevant content: Introduction: The semiconductor chip of an LED light consists of two parts. One part is a P-type semiconductor, where holes dominate, and the other end is an N-type semiconductor, where electrons are primarily found. When these two semiconductors are connected, a P-N junction is formed between them. The electrification process: When current passes through the wire and acts on this chip, electrons are pushed toward the P-region. In the P-region, electrons recombine with holes, and then energy is emitted in the form of photons, which is the principle of LED light emission. The wavelength of the light, or the color of the light, is determined by the material that forms the P-N junction.

What models are compatible with 2.75-14 tires?

2.75-14 tires are interchangeable with motorcycle tires of the 3.00-10 model. Below are the detailed explanations: Tire Classification: Tires can be roughly categorized into 8 types based on vehicle type. Specifically: PC—Passenger Car Tires; LT—Light Truck Tires; TB—Truck and Bus Tires; AG—Agricultural Vehicle Tires; OTR—Off-the-Road Tires; ID—Industrial Vehicle Tires; AC—Aircraft Tires; MC—Motorcycle Tires. Tire Model: Most tire model markings appear as: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are as follows: 215 indicates the tire section width in mm, generally ranging between 145–285mm with intervals of 10mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, where 70 stands for 70%. Generally, tire aspect ratios range between 30%–80%.

Is it possible to drive a sedan on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway?

Of course, it is possible, but small-displacement cars may face challenges on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway due to poor road conditions. Adequate preparation is necessary: Choose the right time and season: For sedan travel on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, it is recommended to go during the peak season when the weather and road conditions are generally more stable, and there are more people around, making it safer in case help is needed. Of course, this also means traffic congestion is more likely, but the essence of travel lies in the journey itself, and even traffic jams offer a chance to appreciate the unique scenery of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Avoid venturing into small paths or uninhabited areas: When driving a sedan into Tibet, it is advisable to stick to the main route of the 318 National Highway. It's best not to challenge other off-the-main-road paths, as unfamiliar road conditions could leave you in a dilemma. If trouble arises, even if you call for help, the signal might be unreliable, and it's uncertain how long it would take for help to arrive. Avoid overconfidence, as it would be irresponsible to the car, yourself, and your family.

Can an E License Drive an Electric Tricycle?

An E license cannot drive an electric tricycle; only a D license can drive an electric tricycle. Below are the specific details about the D license: Approved Vehicle Types: A D driving license permits driving a tricycle motorcycle with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. Other approved vehicle types under this license include E and F. License Categories: In 2004, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Regulations on the Business of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," introducing a graded system for motor vehicle driving licenses. This system categorizes driving licenses into 15 classes: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P.

Why does the motorcycle start but not move when accelerating?

The motorcycle can start but does not move when accelerating due to the following reasons: Faulty automatic centrifugal clutch: Improper clutch operation or failure to reset may cause the motorcycle to start but not accelerate or move. A damaged automatic centrifugal clutch needs to be replaced or repaired. Broken drive belt: Usually caused by a faulty pulley or belt, which requires opening the rear transmission system for inspection. If the belt is broken or has significant gaps, it must be replaced. Small sprocket detachment or rear sprocket chain drop: Inspection and repair are needed. Carburetor water ingress or blockage, or burnt spark plug: Check if the fuel line is blocked. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the carburetor to let the gasoline inside flow for a while, then tighten it. If dirt has entered the carburetor, inspect the spark plug as well. A carburetor that has been used for a long time may need cleaning or replacement, and a burnt spark plug should be replaced with a new one.
