It is considered "failure to use lights as required" and will result in a 1-point deduction. Below is relevant information about turn signals: 1. Function: Turn signals are controlled by electronic devices, but still use sound to simulate relay clicks. They are activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert the driver that the turn signal is flashing and serve as an important indicator to notify surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Types: Mainly divided into resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The resistance wire type can be further divided into thermal wire type (electric heating type) and vane type (bouncing type), while the electronic type can be divided into hybrid type (with contact relays and electronic components) and fully electronic type (without relays).

What Causes the Tightening Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

There are several reasons for the tightening sound when turning the steering wheel: 1. Friction between plastic parts: Most steering wheel components are made of plastic, which hardens at lower temperatures, leading to noise when they rub against each other. 2. Issue with the steering wheel airbag clock spring: In this case, the noise usually comes from inside the steering wheel. Applying some grease to the airbag clock spring can resolve the issue. 3. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar: If this is the problem, noise will occur not only when turning the steering wheel but also on rough roads. 4. Problem with the shock absorber top mount bearing: If the shock absorber top mount bearing lacks lubrication, it can also cause noise. Open the hood and listen for the source of the noise to check if it's coming from the shock absorber top mount. If so, the component needs to be replaced.

What lights should be turned on when driving in fog?

When driving in fog, you should promptly turn on the fog lights, hazard warning flashers, and headlights. Here are some safety precautions for driving in fog: 1. Turn on the fog lights in foggy conditions. The light waves from fog lights penetrate fog more easily and illuminate farther. When the fog is very thick, you can turn on the hazard warning flashers (double flashing lights) because yellow light has better penetration through fog. Remember not to use high beams, as their light waves will be reflected back by the fog, similar to shining on a vast white wall. 2. Use the horn for alerts when necessary. Since visibility is poor in fog, it's advisable to honk the horn at appropriate times when overtaking, turning, or encountering pedestrians to signal your presence. 3. Slow down and avoid sudden braking. First, reduce your speed. Foggy conditions impair visibility, and most vehicles are moving slowly. Driving too fast increases the risk of rear-end collisions. Additionally, slowing down helps prevent the need for sudden braking, which can be dangerous since judging distances is harder in fog, and sudden stops may lead to accidents with vehicles behind you. 4. Avoid reckless overtaking. Do not rush to overtake in foggy conditions, as low visibility makes it harder to assess the situation of the vehicle ahead. Especially in heavy fog, not only should you turn on the hazard warning flashers, but it's also best to maintain a safe distance and follow the vehicle in front. Only when you can clearly confirm the situation of the vehicle ahead should you honk and pass at a low speed.

How to remove 3M adhesive from a car?

Here are the methods to remove 3M adhesive from a car: 1. If the adhesive is on the car glass, you can first use a hot towel or a hair dryer to heat the adhesive. After a while, try to peel it off when it seems ready. If it's still difficult to remove, heat it a bit longer. 2. You can use a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of gasoline to gently wipe the adhesive area. Since gasoline can "dissolve" certain plastics or paints, use it with caution. Test it on an unimportant area first to ensure no damage occurs. 3. Use a soft cloth soaked in sufficient 95% alcohol to gently wipe the adhesive area. The adhesive will soften and come off easily, and alcohol generally does not harm plastic parts or the car's paint surface. 4. For stains on glass, a mixture of soap, a little ammonia, and turpentine can be used to easily remove marks, leaving the surface smoother.

What Are the Symptoms of Transmission Damage?

Transmission damage can cause noticeable clunking sounds and significant vibrations that can be felt. Below are the symptoms exhibited by a car with transmission damage: 1. Vehicle slipping and weak acceleration. 2. Unusual noises while driving, such as a rustling sound inside the transmission. 3. Engine stalling when shifting gears or experiencing jerks during gear changes or while driving. Here are some habits to protect your transmission: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral. It is not recommended to use the N gear for coasting while driving, and do not shift the gear lever to "N" while the vehicle is in motion. 2. To maximize fuel efficiency, use the S gear or a lower gear in manual mode when going downhill. This helps utilize engine braking and prevents brake pad overheating and reduced braking performance due to prolonged braking.
