Dashboard icon FAQ processing

"What do the colorful signs on the car dashboard mean?" "What is the demisting key in the car?" "Do you pay attention to the dashboard when you drive?" I believe that many new drivers have ever had After similar doubts, in addition to the common car interior signs, there are many vehicle keys that also plague the experienced drivers. In daily life, traffic accidents caused by not recognizing or failing to find relevant car signs also occur from time to time.

Condition 1

The "thermometer" is on, still on

Event Review: Miss Wenzhou City, Miss Huang has been driving for 3 years, driving technology is better. In November last year, when she drove through the Wenzhou Bohai Avenue, she suddenly noticed that there was a warning light on the instrument panel. At that time, she did not know what it meant. She saw that the car was able to drive normally, and she did not find anything unusual when she got off the bus. Then she set off again. Unexpectedly, after a while, she suddenly saw the white smoke in front of the hood. This terrified her and quickly stopped to inform the repair shop. When the maintenance staff told her that the light was the alarm light of the water temperature gauge, the light indicates that the temperature of the coolant exceeded the specified value, and it was necessary to suspend the driving immediately. She suddenly realized that she only knew how to drive and that some of the signs in the car did not recognize it.

Condition 2 can't find the "demisting key" and the result is a crash.
Event Review: On December 2 last year, Ms. Zhang from Ryan, Wenzhou, borrowed her daughter's BMW car and went out to work. Because it was a rainy day, when the car passed near the parking lot of Tianhao Hotel in Tangxia Town, Rui'an, the front windshield misted and the line of sight suddenly deteriorated. She wanted to find the demisting key in the car, but she couldn't understand which one was for a long time, so she took the towel next to her. She held the steering wheel in her right hand and wiped the front windshield with her left hand. As a result, she accidentally ran into a large truck parked on the side of the road. Fortunately, no one was injured.

I do not know the status of the three oil meter lights, turn off the fire on the way

Incident Review: In the afternoon of November 18th, the main road of Bohai Avenue to Loudi tunnel in the direction of the city, there was a traffic accident with five cars colliding. As a result, five vehicles were seriously damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties. According to Zhang, the first driver of the car, he was a novice and he soon acquired a car and did not understand the vehicle's performance. On the same day, he did not find out in a timely manner that the interior oil meter light was on. As a result, when the vehicle passed the road section, the vehicle suddenly stopped and could not be started. Then he caused rear-end vehicle rear-end collisions. Zhang said that he only looks at the car before driving, only paying attention to the speed, and rarely pays attention to other signs on the dashboard.

The situation is not familiar with the four gears, hanging wrong accidents

Event Review: In April this year, Ms. Cang Nanlin just bought her license and bought an automatic car. One day, when she was driving through the town of Xiaojiang, Pingyang, she accidentally ran into the front tricycle. Fortunately, the damage was not great. She said that she wanted to hang a "reverse block," but hung up into "a forward gear," and a traffic accident occurred.

When the police asked her to move the car to the side of the road, she said she was afraid of not starting again. The police then helped her move the car. As a result, she found the adhesive tape on the edge of the car's gear bar was actually stuck on the side of the car, and the handwriting was clear. The D edge was "forward" and the N edge was "neutral." "The P-side is "parking" and the R-side is "backward."

It turned out that this was not her first accident. Just a few days ago, she had also been linked to a traffic accident because she was unfamiliar with the car's gear. She used sticky tape to allow her to clearly identify the gear. The result was still wrong.

The traffic police reminds that before the driver drives the vehicle, he must make a thorough inspection of the driving condition of the vehicle, especially when driving a new car or a stranger, he should first understand the basic functions of the car, especially the brakes, throttle, and clutch. The performance of the steering wheel must be understood and adapted beforehand. Attention must be paid to the instrument panel before going out of the vehicle and during driving. The real-time dynamics of the vehicle must be mastered to avoid such accidents.

Driving in winter, these car signs need to understand

Traffic in winter may encounter rain and snow, which will affect traffic safety. In fact, many of the interior signs are related to rain and snow. If the driver can understand these signs, driving in winter will be much safer. The reporter yesterday asked Wenzhou auto experts to interpret the meaning of some of the signs.

Defogging key sign: Rejecting fog impact sight

In winter, the driver has encountered the fog on the car glass to affect the line of sight. The reason is that the "internal heat and cold" temperature difference.

For beginners, fogging in the car can only be done with a dry cloth, but it is dangerous to do so while driving. In fact, as long as the window "demisting key" is used, this problem can be solved.

On the instrument panel inside the car, there is a window defogging sign (pictured), click the demisting key, the air-conditioning front windshield defogging air outlet will open, defogging, cold wind blowing against the front windshield, In order to reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the glass, to achieve the effect of defogging.

For the defogging of the rear window glass, the principle is similar, most vehicles only need to find similar icon buttons on the central control panel, press to open the rear windshield resistance wire defogging.

Fog Light Signs: Improve Visibility in Fog

Before and after the fog lamp logo pattern for the lights plus vertical curve (pictured), generally set in the control of car lights group keyboard. After pressing the "Fog" button, the corresponding indicator will appear on the dashboard of the car.

In fog, rain, and snow, the car fog lights are turned on and a yellow light is emitted. Yellow is the purest color and the strongest penetrating power. Therefore, the anti-fog lamp can penetrate a very thick fog and reach far away, improve the driver's visibility, and make other vehicles see it more clearly. Own car.

However, under normal conditions, driving the front fog lights will make the driver of the opposite vehicle feel dazzling, so the fog lights can only be used in the case of dense fog.

Water temperature indicator: winter hot car to see

The water temperature indicator is like a thermometer to show the temperature of the coolant in the engine. A red color indicates that the engine temperature is too high and the display is blue-green. The operating temperature is not reached (some vehicles are replaced with water temperature meters). When driving, if the water temperature indicator light is on, indicating that the coolant temperature exceeds the specified value, it is necessary to immediately stop driving.

In winter, when the vehicle is stopped overnight, the temperature of the engine cannot fully rise. At this point, the water temperature indicator is shown as blue-green. At this time, you cannot step on the gas pedal, and you need to slowly step on the gas to drive the hot car. When the blue-green water temperature indicator is off, or the water temperature meter is specified at 70°C～80°C, it can run normally. If the water temperature indicator lights up while driving, you need to contact the maintenance personnel immediately.

Stability system indicator: rain and snow is best to open

The symbol of the car plus curve design is the ESP (or DSC, VSC, similar function) indicator of the body stabilization system. The indicator light represents a traction control system. After the work is performed, it can prevent the car from having too many turns, losing control, throwing tail, etc., and improving the stability of the car. When this LED is lit, the system has been shut down.

In rainy and snowy weather, when the vehicle is running at high speed, the stability is poor. Therefore, by stabilizing the program control, the vehicle can maintain a good trackability and avoid the occurrence of a vicious accident.

Experts suggest that daily driving, especially rain and snow, is best to open the system to increase the safety of driving.
