Car idling in place can charge the battery. Below is an introduction to idling charging: Car idling in place: Refers to a working condition where the engine is running without load, and the gear is in neutral. It's like "working without output," where the car consumes fuel without moving or doing work, but it can charge the battery. The charging duration is also affected by other factors, such as whether high-power devices are used inside the car, air conditioning is turned on, external USB power supply, etc. These factors will increase the charging time. Disadvantages of idling charging: It consumes more fuel, and emissions during idling are very severe. Passengers should not turn on the air conditioning and sleep in a sealed (internal circulation) car. Incomplete combustion in the car will produce carbon monoxide (a colorless and odorless gas), which can accumulate to a lethal concentration inside the car. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use a charger to charge the car battery.

How many hours per day for Subject 1 check-in?

Subject 1 check-in requires four credit hours per day. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching Outline," students can record a maximum of 4 credit hours per day, and any study time exceeding 4 hours will not be counted. For video-watching to accumulate credit hours, the only method is to let the videos play automatically on a mobile phone or computer, with no other shortcuts available. Therefore, at a pace of 4 hours per day, the fastest completion time is 3 days. After completing the credit hours, it usually takes 2-3 days for review, and upon approval, you can proceed to schedule Subject 1. During Subject 1 study, you must click "Next Page" after each video ends; going back will restart the process. Additionally, every 5-10 minutes, you need to refresh by facing the camera. Subject 1 consists of 100 questions, all randomly selected and combined from a pool of over 1,700 questions. The question types include true/false questions and single-choice questions, with 30 true/false questions and 70 single-choice questions. The main assessment content covers the theoretical foundations of driving, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, and other basic knowledge, as well as local regulations.

Is the trunk sealed?

The trunk is sealed because it uses sealing strips for sealing, which also serve to prevent water intrusion, similar to the sealing strips on a refrigerator. Therefore, air can hardly escape from the trunk. The car trunk is essentially the vehicle's storage room, where you can place various items. Hidden features of the car trunk: 1. The elastic net on the trunk can be used to secure fragile items; 2. The trunk partition can create a relatively concealed and secure space. Many cars do not come with this partition, but it can be installed later; 3. The emergency escape handle, located inside the trunk, allows the trunk lid to be opened with a simple pull.

What Causes the Buzzing Electric Current Sound Inside the Center Console?

The buzzing electric current sound inside the center console may be caused by abnormal noise from the air vents or a loose center console panel. Abnormal noise from air vents: Check if the air vents are loose or if the noise is caused by an installed perfume bottle on the vent. Tighten it or pad the edges with something like 3M tape. Loose center console panel: This situation is very unlikely to occur. Simply remove and re-tighten it or wrap tape around the clips. Gap between the dashboard and windshield: If there is a large gap between the dashboard and windshield, it may cause abnormal noise from the dashboard, rattling on bumpy roads, dust accumulation in the gap, and difficulty in removing small stones.

Why does the engine light come on after starting the car?

Reasons why the engine light comes on after starting the car: 1. Sensor issues, including coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensor signals are interrupted, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine fault light to illuminate; 2. Engine spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, fuel line blockage, etc., can all cause poor combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture; 3. Fuel quality issues, including fuel and engine oil. If the owner does not add them as required, long-term use will cause engine wear, and the engine fault light will come on; 4. Poor engine maintenance is a common cause of the engine fault light coming on; 5. Intake problems. The engine needs air intake during combustion. If the car's air filter is not clean and not cleaned regularly, it will affect the car's air intake. Over time, blockages can occur, and in severe cases, the engine fault light will come on.

What to Do If a Car Has a Flat Tire on the Road?

How to handle a flat tire on the road: 1. Turn on the hazard lights, move the car to the roadside or emergency lane, park properly, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake; 2. Place a triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the car and check the tools needed for changing the tire, including the jack, toolkit, and spare tire; 3. Replace with the spare tire. The steps for changing a tire are: 1. Use the lug wrench to loosen the screws on the tire. Loosen them diagonally one by one to prevent uneven force distribution that could deform the fasteners; 2. After loosening all the screws, use the jack to lift the car; 3. Align the spare tire with the wheel bolt holes. If changing the tire alone, use your foot to hold the spare tire in place to prevent displacement. When tightening the screws, still follow the diagonal method to avoid uneven force distribution. Once installed, remove the jack.
