Modifying headlights to LED is considered illegal modification and will be penalized by traffic police. The Traffic Safety Law explicitly prohibits replacing halogen headlights with LED or xenon headlights. If caught by traffic police on the road, a fine will be imposed. If you find your car lights not bright enough, you can choose to replace them with higher-wattage original factory lights (must be the same type of light source), and then file a record after replacement. Below is basic information about halogen headlights: 1. Halogen bulbs can operate at higher temperatures than ordinary incandescent bulbs, making them brighter and more efficient. 2. Halogen bulbs require quartz glass with a higher melting point. Since quartz glass cannot block ultraviolet rays, halogen bulbs usually need an additional ultraviolet filter. 3. If there is oil on the crystal glass of a halogen bulb, it will cause uneven temperature on the glass, reducing the bulb's lifespan. Therefore, when replacing halogen bulbs, avoid touching the glass with your hands.

Should You Engage the Parking Brake or Shift to P First in an Automatic Transmission?

In an automatic transmission, it is acceptable to either engage the parking brake or shift to P (Park) first when parking. Automatic transmissions are equipped with both P and N (Neutral) gears, both of which can be used when parking. The difference between P and N is as follows: when shifted into P, the locking mechanism inside the transmission locks the gears, preventing the vehicle from moving even without the parking brake engaged. When shifted into N, the locking mechanism does not engage the gears, meaning the vehicle may roll if the parking brake is not applied. Before turning off the engine, always shift into P; otherwise, the key cannot be removed. When parking on slopes, it is best to first engage the parking brake firmly and then shift into P. Alternatively, you can press the brake pedal, shift into P, keep the brake pedal depressed, and then engage the parking brake. Before shifting into P, always ensure the vehicle has come to a complete stop to avoid damaging the transmission's locking mechanism.

What Causes the Engine Coolant Temperature to Reach 120 Degrees?

An engine coolant temperature of 120 degrees is abnormal. Below are the specific reasons for high engine coolant temperature: Insufficient Coolant: Coolant leakage or low coolant levels can cause the engine temperature to rise. In this case, check the coolant level and top it up to the appropriate level if necessary. Recheck the level after a few days to see if it drops significantly. If it does, locate the source of the leak. Faulty Cooling Fan: When the vehicle is running at high RPM, the generated heat cannot be effectively transferred to the coolant, affecting heat dissipation. This leads to an increase in coolant temperature, potentially causing overheating issues. Faulty Water Pump: Water pump failures can include seized bearings or damaged impellers. Seized bearings are relatively rare, while impeller damage is more common. Issues like cracked impellers or impellers loosening from the pump shaft can slow down coolant circulation, often resulting in engine overheating.

Where is the Motorcycle Air Filter Located?

Motorcycle air filters are typically positioned under the seat on the left side of the motorcycle. Remove the outer casing and trace upwards along the carburetor to locate it. For scooters, the air filter is usually mounted on the left side of the engine, above the transmission case, often housed in a black plastic box. Opening its cover allows access to the air filter element for cleaning or replacement. Definition of Air Filter Element: An air filter generally refers to the air filter element, which is a type of filter also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air strainer. Its primary function is to filter air for use in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation environments. Types of Air Filters: Air filters can be categorized into several types including filtration type, centrifugal type, oil bath type, and composite type. Common air filters used in engines include the inertial oil bath air filter, paper dry-type air filter, and polyurethane filter element air filter, among others.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking Hard?

There are three possible reasons for abnormal sounds when braking hard: 1. Excessive wear of brake discs and brake pads. Both brake discs and pads are high-wear components that experience friction during every brake application. Over time, natural wear occurs, and when excessive, it leads to abnormal noises. Regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs last 100,000-120,000 kilometers. 2. Incorrect installation of brake pads. If brake pads are installed backwards or are of the wrong model, abnormal sounds may occur. Reinstalling the brake pads correctly is advised. When replacing brake pads, always visit a professional auto repair shop, especially if you previously had them replaced at roadside stalls. 3. Normal ABS activation. The ABS system operates in a cycle of locking and releasing the brakes, keeping the vehicle in a near-lock rolling state. When hard braking triggers the ABS, a clicking sound is normal. In this case, firmly press the brake pedal all the way down.

How Many Kilometers of Free Towing Does Pacific Insurance Auto Insurance Provide?

Pacific Insurance auto insurance generally provides free towing service ranging between 50 to 100 kilometers. Relevant towing instructions are as follows: Choose the appropriate towing hook: The towing hook must not only be able to latch on but also remain securely fastened. Ensure the installation method is correct and repeatedly check whether the hook is properly latched before towing. If the hook comes undone midway during towing, it may cause damage to the vehicle and increase maintenance costs. Prefer towing bars: If the vehicle being towed has brake issues or requires towing on icy or snowy roads, it is best to use a towing bar. A rigid towing bar can prevent the towed vehicle from losing control of its speed and colliding with the towing vehicle in case the leading vehicle pulls too forcefully or encounters an emergency requiring sudden braking, making the towing process safer.

What is the normal tire pressure for Chaoyang tires?

Chaoyang tires generally have a recommended tire pressure range of 2.3-2.8 BAR, which is considered safe. However, during summer when temperatures are high, the tire pressure may rise above 3.0 BAR after driving, even if it was initially within the normal range. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure during summer, ideally between 2.3-2.5 BAR. Here is some relevant information about tire pressure: The role of tire pressure: "Tire pressure" refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Both overinflation and underinflation can affect the tire's lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls. It also enlarges the contact area between the tire and the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders and increasing fuel consumption. Precautions: Maintaining proper tire inflation ensures the optimal balance of handling, tread life, and driving comfort. It is recommended to check tire pressure regularly, including the spare tire. Even well-maintained tires can lose 10-20 kPa of pressure per month, so regular checks are essential.
