A loose engine belt will affect the engine, causing a series of faults such as engine shaking, insufficient power, high fuel consumption, high water temperature, incomplete combustion, and black smoke. Inspection and replacement of car belts: During each maintenance session, it is necessary to check the belt tension and wear condition. Even if everything appears normal, the belt should generally be proactively replaced at around 80,000 kilometers. The importance of the engine belt: The engine belt is the most important belt in a car, connecting the generator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. When small cracks appear on the belt, it needs to be replaced. If the belt breaks, it can cause the generator to stop producing electricity and the power steering pump to fail, making it difficult to steer, which is a very dangerous situation.

What does the auto light on a car mean?

The auto light on a car refers to the automatic headlights. More related information is as follows: 1. The headlights will automatically turn on or off based on the light sensing system, enabling automatic activation or deactivation, as well as automatic switching between high and low beams. When the light is set to this position, the lights will not turn on during the day, but they will automatically activate at night, such as when driving through tunnels, on cloudy days, or in any dimly lit areas. 2. The working principle of the auto light is: sensors like photoresistors send electronic signals to the control unit, informing it whether to turn the headlights on or off, and then the control unit manages the headlight switch and the change between high and low beams.

How many days can a car battery last normally without being used?

Car batteries can last for two months without being used. When a car is stored for a long period without being driven, the positive and negative terminals of the battery should be disconnected to prevent natural power consumption by the vehicle's electrical appliances. If the battery runs out of power, driving normally for one to two hours can restore the battery to its normal charge level. If the battery is too depleted to start the engine, a jump-start is required to activate it. Below is an introduction to car batteries: A car battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, serving as a DC power source. Its functions include: 1. Providing a strong starting current to the starter when starting the engine. 2. Assisting the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded. 3. Supplying power to electrical equipment when the engine is idling.

What are the penalties for driving on the highway with a license less than one year old?

If a driver operates a vehicle on the highway with a license that has been held for less than one year, they will be subject to mandatory education, required to exit the highway at the nearest exit, and fined between 20 and 200 yuan. Additionally, the vehicle information and driver's license will be recorded by the police, but no points will be deducted. However, if there is a driver with a license held for more than three years in the passenger seat providing guidance, the new driver is permitted to drive on the highway during the probationary period. Below are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Observe traffic rules and display a probationary sign. 2. Inspect the vehicle before entering the highway and be aware of the speed limits. The minimum speed on the highway should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. 3. Pay attention to road signs, markings, and warning signs. 4. When exiting the highway, merge into the outermost lane in advance upon seeing the 1.5 km or 1 km exit signs. 5. Maintain a safe following distance. Keeping an appropriate distance is crucial for driving safety. Many novice drivers, due to lack of experience, may misjudge distances and follow too closely, potentially leading to insufficient braking time.
