There are the following situations when stopping after crossing the stop line at a red light: Stopping shortly after crossing the stop line: If you cross the stop line after the signal turns red, with your front wheels reaching the stop line and stopping on it, this is not considered running a red light as long as you brake immediately. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, it will be regarded as running a red light. Crossing the stop line to the pedestrian crossing: If the vehicle fully crosses the stop line to the pedestrian crossing after the light turns red and then stops on the pedestrian crossing, this is generally not considered running a red light, but it is still a violation known as over-the-line stopping, which incurs a fine and points deduction. If the vehicle shows obvious movement on the pedestrian crossing or affects normal pedestrian passage, it will be judged as running a red light.

What to Do When the Windshield Wiper Won't Stop?

Here are the solutions for a windshield wiper that won't stop: 1. If the wiper keeps running non-stop, it is likely due to a fault in the wiper motor circuit. You can disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to stop the wiper. 2. Without activating the wiper handle, drive the car to a repair shop or 4S store and have a technician check the circuit issues. Below are precautions for using windshield wipers: 1. Always use the wipers when there is rain, as the wiper blades are designed to clear rainwater from the windshield. Do not use them without water, and never operate them dry. Running the wipers without water increases friction, which can damage the rubber blades and the wiper motor. 2. Even if it's raining, avoid using the wipers if the rain isn't heavy enough to require them. Wait until there is enough rainwater on the windshield—enough to prevent obstructing the driver's view.

What Causes the Tire Pressure Warning?

The tire pressure warning is triggered when the tire pressure is either too high or too low. Please check if the tires have punctures or damage. If there is air leakage, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire. Generally, the recommended tire pressure for drive wheels is between 2.3-2.7 bar, while for non-drive wheels, it ranges from 2.2-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is normal, you can try resetting the tire pressure warning light. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to vehicle drift, compromising driving safety. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling. Weakens the function of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the tire bead. Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to a blowout. Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, which lead to overheating, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear at the tire shoulders.

Can ETC be used without placing it on the windshield?

ETC can be used without being attached to the windshield. Installing the ETC on the upper part of the windshield is intended to minimize obstruction of the driver's view while ensuring better recognition by the equipment at highway toll stations. If you prefer not to install it on the windshield, it should be placed in an open area where it can be clearly seen through the windshield. For small cars, the typical ETC installation position is in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. If the vehicle has a built-in or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave window area. Here are some considerations for installing ETC: 1. Avoid obstructing the view; installing it behind the rearview mirror is ideal: Many car models have windshields with a steep rearward angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this may increase the driver's blind spots. Placing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. 2. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. 3. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The adhesive backing has a button with an anti-removal rod connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield presses the anti-removal rod in. If the tag is removed, the rod will pop out, triggering the switch and locking the electronic tag, rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing the same device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by a malfunctioning ETC device in the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; exceeding this speed may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

How to Tell if a Car is Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?

The differences between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive lie in the following aspects: 1. Different engines: (1) Front-wheel drive uses a transversely mounted engine positioned further forward, providing more interior space. (2) Rear-wheel drive uses a longitudinally mounted engine, which may encroach on interior space. 2. Different weight distribution between front and rear: (1) Front-wheel drive cars have a heavier front and lighter rear, making them prone to understeer during sharp turns. (2) Rear-wheel drive cars have a lighter front and heavier rear, making them prone to oversteer during sharp turns. 3. Different center of gravity angles: (1) On steep slopes, front-wheel drive cars have their center of gravity towards the front, making them more likely to slip when climbing. (2) Rear-wheel drive cars have their center of gravity further back, making them less likely to slip when climbing. 4. Different front suspension: (1) Front-wheel drive models have a longer front suspension and are commonly found in sedans. (2) Rear-wheel drive models have a relatively shorter front suspension and are commonly found in large and medium-sized buses.

How to Cancel the Auto-Folding Function of Rearview Mirrors?

On the left side of the driver's door, there is a rearview mirror folding control button. To cancel the auto-folding function, simply press the button to turn it off. If the car's rearview mirrors are equipped with an auto-folding feature, manual folding is not recommended, as it can easily damage the internal gears. Typically, only mid-to-high-end vehicle models come with rearview mirror folding functionality, while ordinary family sedans do not. More details are as follows: 1. The rearview mirror folding function is very convenient, allowing the mirrors to be folded when necessary. It comes in both manual and electric versions. This feature is particularly useful when parking, as folding the rearview mirrors saves a significant amount of space and helps avoid scratches. 2. Foldable rearview mirrors can be retracted when passing through narrow passages, improving the vehicle's maneuverability. Additionally, drivers can fold the mirrors when leaving the car, which not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space requirements.

How often should a newly purchased car be waxed?

A newly purchased car only needs to be waxed after six months. It is unnecessary and even counterproductive to wax a new car too early because the vehicle comes with a protective wax coating from the factory. Waxing too soon may remove this original protective layer, wasting effort and failing to achieve the intended results. Car waxing is a traditional aspect of automotive care, primarily serving to waterproof and protect against acid rain. The wax coating significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car's surface, with effectiveness ranging from 50% to 90%. Additionally, car wax helps prevent static electricity and dust buildup. As the car moves, friction with the air generates static, and the wax effectively minimizes contact between the car's surface and airborne particles.
