The choice between long and short wheelbase depends on personal circumstances, as both have their advantages. Introduction to Vehicle Wheelbase: Vehicle wheelbase is the distance between the centers of two adjacent wheels on the same side of the vehicle, measured perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane. Generally, the higher the class of the car, the longer the wheelbase. Differences Between Long and Short Wheelbase Vehicles: The main difference between long and short wheelbase models lies in the wheelbase length, vehicle length, and rear seat space. Short wheelbase models typically offer better handling than long wheelbase models because they are lighter and have a shorter wheelbase. Long wheelbase models primarily focus on comfort, while short wheelbase models are more suitable for driving enthusiasts. Although wheelbase is not the only factor determining interior space, it is the fundamental one.

Will the car battery die if I leave the air conditioning on while parked?

Leaving the air conditioning on for an extended period while the car is parked can drain the battery. Here is some knowledge about car air conditioning: 1. Reasons for car battery drain: Because the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine, when the car is turned off, the blower's natural air is powered by the battery. Excessive use of the blower can lead to long-term battery depletion. 2. Best practices for using car air conditioning: On hot summer days, you should first open the windows to ventilate the car, then turn on the air conditioning's external circulation to expel the hot air inside. After driving for a while and the interior temperature drops, you can close the windows and switch to internal circulation to achieve the coolest temperature most efficiently.

Why is the car air conditioner cooling but with low air volume?

Reduced air volume in a car air conditioner is often caused by a clogged air filter. Below is an introduction to car air conditioning systems: 1. Air Conditioning Layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layout methods. Currently, integrated heating and cooling air conditioning systems are widely used in passenger cars. Their layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanisms together, collectively referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly. 2. Air Conditioning Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. A car air conditioner generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, piping, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning systems are divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure lines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return lines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

What does the yellow parking space line mean?

Yellow lines indicate that vehicles can park temporarily or for an extended period in this area. Below is relevant information about parking space lines: 1. Definition: China's architectural standards for garages and parking lots are quite complex, divided into four levels. Although there is no specified "standard parking space size," minimum required dimensions are outlined. For example, vehicles with a length not exceeding 6 meters and a width not exceeding 1.8 meters should have a spacing of no less than 0.5 meters between vehicles and between vehicles and walls or the ends of parking spaces. For vehicles longer than 6 meters but not exceeding 8 meters, and wider than 1.8 meters but not exceeding 2.2 meters, the spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.7 meters. 2. Advantages: Standardized parking lot markings help maintain order, reduce traffic accidents, and ensure safety. Additionally, during the marking process, it is essential to adhere to standard procedures and employ professional teams to guarantee quality.

Where and When to Apply for an Electronic License Plate?

Electronic license plates must be processed during working hours at the Traffic Police Vehicle Management Division under the Public Security Bureau. 1. Definition: The professional term for an electronic license plate is the vehicle electronic identification, which is a card similar to a personal ID card. The chip on this card stores vehicle-related information, including the license plate number, usage type, vehicle model, and body color. In other words, the electronic license plate stores unique information about the vehicle, serving as the vehicle's 'ID card.' 2. Privacy Information: The electronic license plate only stores vehicle-related information, such as the vehicle certification, compulsory insurance, and environmental inspection compliance marks. Personal privacy is not involved at all. Moreover, the vehicle data in the electronic license plate is encrypted and can only be recognized and read by officially authorized specialized equipment, so there is no need to worry about personal privacy being leaked through the electronic license plate.

Will the file number of the driving license change when adding a new driving category?

Adding a new driving category to your driving license will not change the file number. The file number is determined by the province, the vehicle management office, and the date of file creation, so the file number remains unchanged when adding a new driving category. Regulations for adding a driving category: According to Article 15 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if you already hold a motor vehicle driving license and apply to add a new driving category, you must not have a record of 12 or more penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application. Regulations for applying for a driving license: Article 19 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" stipulates that when applying for a motor vehicle driving license for the first time, you must fill out an application form and submit the applicant's identity proof and a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above, proving the applicant's physical condition.
