Holding a baby in the front passenger seat will not result in penalty points, but it will incur a fine. It is illegal to hold anyone in the front passenger seat. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, children under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a motor vehicle, and preschool children in the rear seats must use dedicated child seats as required. The regulations for front passenger seat occupancy are: 1. Minors aged 12 and above should not sit in the front passenger seat but can sit in the rear seats. If necessary, a child seat should be used with the seatbelt fastened, and the child safety lock on the rear door should be engaged. 2. Pregnant women should not sit in the front passenger seat, as the design of the seatbelt does not account for pregnancy. In the event of an accident, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the front passenger.

What is the Principle of High-Voltage Power Distribution System?

High-voltage power distribution system refers to the segment of the power system from the outlet of the step-down distribution substation (high-voltage distribution substation) to the user end. The distribution system is a power network system composed of various distribution equipment (or components) and distribution facilities that transform voltage and directly distribute electrical energy to end users. Low-voltage distribution systems are classified into three types based on different grounding methods: TT, TN, and IT systems, as described below: 1. TT Power Supply System: The TT system refers to a protection system where the metal casing of electrical equipment is directly grounded, known as the protective grounding system, also called the TT system. The first symbol T indicates that the neutral point of the power system is directly grounded; the second symbol T indicates that the exposed metal conductive parts of the load equipment, not connected to live parts, are directly connected to the ground, regardless of how the system is grounded. 2. TN Power Supply System: This power supply system connects the metal casing of electrical equipment to the working neutral line for protection, known as the neutral grounding protection system, denoted as TN. 3. IT Power Supply System: The letter I indicates that the power source side has no working ground or is grounded through high impedance; the second letter T indicates that the load-side electrical equipment is grounded for protection.

What does 300t represent in terms of engine displacement?

In the automotive industry, 300t is a new naming convention where 300 represents the torque rating. For example: 300TSI indicates that the vehicle is equipped with a TSI engine with a torque rating of 300N.m. Engine displacement, a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or expelled per stroke or cycle. The differences between 1.5t and 1.6t engine displacements are as follows: 1. Nature of the engine: 1.6L represents a 1.6-liter displacement, where L stands for Long (extended version), while 1.6T refers to a 1.6-liter engine equipped with a turbocharger. 2. Fuel consumption: The 1.6L engine generally has lower fuel consumption. 3. Power output: The 1.6T engine delivers greater power and performance. Typically, a turbocharger can increase the base power by approximately 10%-30%, with some achieving over 50%. A 1.6T engine can provide higher power and torque, even comparable to a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. 4. Maintenance costs: The 1.6T engine incurs higher maintenance expenses. The primary difference between 1.6L and 1.6T lies in the turbocharger present in the 1.6T, resulting in lower fuel consumption, enhanced power, and relatively higher maintenance costs for the 1.6T variant.

Can the Transmission Get Water Inside?

Transmission can get water inside. Additional information is as follows: 1. Water ingress situations: While driving, if there is standing water on the road, splashes may cause water to enter the transmission. Water primarily enters the transmission through the vent hole. Since the transmission is not completely sealed, water can directly enter through the vent hole. When water level exceeds two-thirds of the wheel height, there is an 80% to 90% probability of water entering the transmission; if the water level reaches the dashboard, the transmission will 100% get water inside. 2. Vehicle wading practices: It is best to turn off the air conditioning. When the air conditioning is on, the electronic fan at the front of the vehicle will rotate. During wading, the rotating fan blades may stir up water splashes, potentially causing water to enter the transmission. Therefore, try to turn off the air conditioning before wading and wait for the electronic fan to stop before entering the waterlogged section. When wading, if there is oncoming traffic, pay attention to the height of the water waves in front of the other vehicle. If the waves are too high, accelerate appropriately to use your own waves to counteract those from the oncoming vehicle. Stay calm in such situations and avoid braking. Before wading, turn off all vehicle electrical devices, such as air conditioning and dash cams, to prevent electrical equipment from short-circuiting due to water ingress.

Where is the electronic parking brake located?

The electronic parking brake button is located below the left side of the steering wheel, marked with a "(P)" metal switch. Press it to engage the parking brake, and pull it to release. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles are not equipped with ABS, so it is not recommended to press the brake pedal fully at once. Instead, press it twice in succession to prevent wheel lock-up, which could lead to skidding or loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid slamming the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel sharply. After passing through a waterlogged area, it's best to gently press the brake pedal twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden braking. 3. Braking while following another vehicle: The main purpose of braking while following another car is to maintain a safe distance. Therefore, press the brake pedal gently. Besides observing the braking of the car in front, also pay attention to the movements of the vehicles ahead of it. If you notice the car in front braking, place your foot on the brake pedal in advance to prepare for sudden braking by the leading vehicle.

Does filling up at different gas stations affect the car?

Filling up at different gas stations does not affect the car. Here is some information about car refueling: 1. The optimal amount of fuel to add: It's best to fill up about three-quarters of the tank. This is a moderate amount for both the fuel and the car's working condition. When the tank is overfilled and the fuel cap is not tightly sealed, there can be some safety hazards, although this is only a small probability. Also, you shouldn't wait until the tank is completely empty to refuel, as this can damage the components in the car's fuel supply system. 2. Precautions when refueling: Do not smoke or make phone calls at the gas station, do not mix different grades of gasoline, and do not wait until the tank is almost empty to refuel.

What to Do When the Rear Air Conditioning in Lexus Doesn't Blow Air?

The solution for the rear air conditioning in Lexus not blowing air is to switch the air mode to the face vent mode, adjust the knob at the rear air conditioning unit, and adjust the air vents. In other modes, the rear air conditioning blows very little air and doesn't have much effect. Relevant information about car air conditioning is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car air conditioning. 2. Function: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue; it creates good working conditions for the driver and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.
