Because when alternating between high and low beams at night, there will be a particularly noticeable alternation of light and dark in front of the vehicle, which is sufficient to serve as an effective warning, letting pedestrians know that a car is approaching so they can avoid it in time. Below is some relevant information about car lights: 1. Light Usage: When learning to drive, one should master the proper use of car lights. These lights play an important role in daily driving, and correct and reasonable use of car lights can make driving safer. 2. Turn Signals: Cars have turn signals at the front and rear, and some cars also have turn signals on the sides, rear window glass, or rearview mirrors. Before turning, the turn signal should be activated in advance. The switch is located on the lever behind the left side of the steering wheel; pushing it downward with the left hand activates the left turn signal, while pushing it upward activates the right turn signal.

Why is the fuel pump of an EFI motorcycle not working?

The fuel pump of an EFI motorcycle may not be working due to a damaged fuel pump, issues with related circuits, or potential faults in the ECU and sensors. Below is more information about the fuel pump: 1. Introduction: Among the four wires of an automotive fuel pump, two are for the fuel level sensor (commonly known as the float), one is for power supply, and one connects to the fuel gauge. The remaining two wires are for the fuel pump itself—one for power supply and one as the ground wire. The fuel pump operates with a high current, so its wires are thicker, while the sensor wires are thinner, making them easy to distinguish. 2. Fuel Pump Relay: The abbreviation is PMR, and the full term is Pump-Motor-Relay. The fuel pump relay controls the power supply to the fuel pump. Modern vehicles typically use direct or port fuel injection, and once the fuel supply meets certain requirements, the relay cuts off the fuel pump, thus controlling its operation. 3. Basic Function of Automotive Relays: They act as 'automatic switches' that use a small current to control the operation of a larger current. In circuits, they perform functions such as automatic regulation, safety protection, circuit switching, and more.

Does changing the roof color require registration?

For vehicles under financing, registration can only be processed with the motor vehicle registration certificate as per procedural regulations. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no change registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before preparing to change the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to see if the region allows the use of film to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the original color of the vehicle. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form". Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Original motor vehicle registration certificate. Original motor vehicle driving license. Pay all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are allowed to change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., before applying for change registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial or vice versa. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must spray emblem patterns and install alarms and warning lights as required. Other motor vehicles must not spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or warning lights that are specific to or similar to those vehicles. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the body color is changed without following the required change registration procedure, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to the original body color.

What is the fuel consumption of the Jetta 1.6 manual?

The Jetta 1.6 manual has a total of 8 models, including the 2013 1.6L manual luxury, comfort, and fashion models, among others, all equipped with a 110 horsepower engine. The NEDC fuel consumption is 6L per 100 kilometers. For the Jetta 1.6 manual, the distance it can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 110 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 55L. The distance it can travel on a full tank is 55/6*100=917km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls a higher idle speed to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.

What are the differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards?

The differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards lie in their control levels, release dates, issuing authorities, and restrictions. Here are the specific details about the differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards: 1. Different control levels: The main difference between National 5 and National 6 is the emission standard for carbon monoxide in vehicle exhaust. National 6 is divided into National 6A and National 6B phases. The carbon monoxide emission rate in National 6A is about 30% lower than that of National 5, while in National 6B, the carbon monoxide emission is reduced by 50% compared to National 5. Compared to National 5, the National 6 standard imposes stricter requirements on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons in emissions. 2. Different release dates: The National 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. Starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (only for public transport, sanitation, and postal purposes) in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region had to comply with the National 5 emission standard. On December 23, 2016, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles (China 6)", which came into effect on July 1, 2020. On June 22, 2018, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China 6)", which came into effect on July 1, 2019. 3. Different issuing authorities: The National 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The National 6 standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. 4. Different restrictions: After July 1, 2019, National 5 vehicles could no longer be registered in most parts of the country, and many regions have already implemented or will implement the National 6 standard ahead of schedule. If the National 6 standard has been implemented in your area, National 5 vehicles cannot be registered. If you want to purchase a National 5 vehicle, it is recommended to verify with the local vehicle management department before making a decision.

Does the rearview mirror crossing the line during reverse parking result in point deduction?

Generally, the rearview mirror crossing the line during reverse parking in the subject test does not result in point deduction, depending on the markings of each examination site. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus," as long as the vehicle body does not exceed the ground markings during reverse parking, no points are deducted. The rearview mirror is convex, so whether it is considered part of the vehicle body depends on the recognition of the rearview mirror by local examination sites. Crossing the line with the vehicle body, failing to park properly, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, driving out of sequence, or exceeding the specified time will result in a 100-point deduction. The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for disqualification, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the subject two test of applying for a motor vehicle driver's license state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts during the test will result in disqualification. Wheels or the vehicle body crossing the line will also lead to disqualification. Many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line during subject two training, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing the test. The main cause of wheels crossing the line is that learners have not mastered the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be that the speed of steering does not match the vehicle's speed. Subject two point deduction criteria: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking by the roadside); using turn signals for less than three seconds (this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off turn signals or using them incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100-point deduction. Failing to park properly: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not tightening the parking brake after stopping: 10-point deduction per occurrence. After stopping, if the vehicle body is between 30 cm and 50 cm from the road edge line: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Rolling back between 10 cm and 30 cm when starting: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when parking: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Wheels touching the lane edge line while driving: 10-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Right-angle turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after the turn: 10-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: 100-point deduction. Driving without shifting to second gear or above: 5-point deduction.
