The negative terminal of a new car battery should not be too loose, as excessive looseness can lead to poor contact and cause sudden power interruptions. Here are some battery maintenance measures: 1. Avoid leaving the air conditioning on when the engine is off: The air conditioning consumes a significant amount of power. Some drivers have the habit of not turning off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine, which causes the air conditioning to automatically start the next time the vehicle is turned on. This results in an instant high power load on the battery, leading to long-term damage. 2. Prevent battery discharge: To avoid battery discharge, pay special attention not to use the car's CD player, cigarette lighter, or other charging devices for extended periods while the engine is off, as this consumes a large amount of battery current. Discharging the battery can easily cause damage to it.

Can You Turn on the Windshield Wipers During the Second Driving Test in the Rain?

You can turn on the windshield wipers. Here are some precautions related to taking the second driving test on a rainy day: 1. Adjust your mindset: The most important thing during the test on a rainy day is your mindset. If it rains during the test, do not feel negative or overly nervous. Therefore, students must adjust their mindset during the test, maintain an optimistic attitude, and not let the weather affect their performance. 2. Preparations before getting in the car: The rearview mirror may become blurry in the rain, so students must wipe the rearview mirror clean before getting in the car to avoid unclear visibility during the test. Before getting in the car, students should shake off any mud or water from their feet to prevent slipping when stepping on the pedals. Driving in the rain makes the vehicle prone to skidding. Therefore, during the test, students should control the speed of the vehicle, driving slower than usual during practice. 3. Braking: The brake pads are prone to skidding in the rain, so when braking, apply slightly more force than usual. 4. Turning on the windshield wipers: Generally speaking, not turning on the windshield wipers does not have a significant impact on the test. However, it is important to note that before stopping at a fixed point on a slope, turn on the windshield wipers to clear the rainwater from the front windshield, then turn them off before preparing to stop at the fixed point.

How many kilometers does it take to replace the fuel filter?

Fuel filters have a relatively long replacement cycle, generally requiring replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Fuel filters can be divided into in-line fuel filters and built-in fuel filters. The following is an introduction to the two types of fuel filters: 1. In-line fuel filter. It is connected to the outside of the fuel tank and the fuel inlet pipe, which is mainly responsible for delivering fuel to the engine. The biggest advantage of the in-line fuel filter is that it is easy to replace. 2. Built-in fuel filter. Located inside the fuel tank, replacement is more complicated and maintenance costs are relatively high, so non-professionals are not advised to replace it on their own. The biggest advantage of the built-in fuel filter is its very high flow rate and it is not prone to clogging.

What is the Difference Between 98 and 95 Octane Gasoline?

98 octane gasoline and 95 octane gasoline differ in the following aspects: 1. Different octane ratings: 98 octane gasoline is a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. 2. Different anti-knock combustion capabilities: 98 octane gasoline offers higher anti-knock performance and power, whereas 95 octane gasoline has average anti-knock combustion capability. Below is some relevant information about gasoline: Gasoline appears as a transparent liquid and is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components. After refining, it is blended with high-octane components and primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

What causes the engine malfunction light to illuminate and power loss?

Reasons for the engine malfunction light illuminating and power loss are as follows: 1. Poor gasoline quality can lead to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, causing the light to illuminate, and it also easily leads to carbon buildup. 2. Carbon deposits in the intake tract and on the piston tops can result in poor atomization, leading to incomplete combustion and the light illuminating. 3. During cold starts, especially when the temperature drops sharply, the engine control unit's temperature correction may cause the light to illuminate during startup, but it will stabilize once the temperature drops to a certain level and remains steady. 4. Excessive engine mileage can weaken the spark plugs' performance characteristics, leading to the light illuminating.
