You can use a car cover on rainy days. The main purpose of a car cover is to prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle, avoiding short circuits and damage to the wiring or power source, especially for electric bikes with batteries located under the footboard. Hazards of rain on cars: The car's paint surface can be corroded. In some areas with environmental pollution, rainwater becomes acidic, and acid rain can corrode the paint, leading to watermarks, oxidation, or even cracking; Moisture and mold, the interior of the car is prone to moisture and mold after rain, as rainwater can seep through the seams of the car body, causing iron parts to rust and corrode; Rain can cause water to enter the headlights, affecting their brightness. If too much water enters, it may damage the headlights and alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard while driving. Functions of a car cover: Prevents sun exposure. A car cover can effectively protect against harmful dust settling in the car's interior and engine parts, preventing sun exposure from aging the interior and wearing out the engine; Protects the paint from rain corrosion, effectively avoiding damage to the car's paint from acidic rain or snow under urban pollution conditions; Prevents excessive interior temperature. Using a car cover in summer can most effectively prevent the interior from overheating and reduce the aging of car interiors.

As an ordinary car owner, I often cover my car with a car cover on rainy days, finding it very practical because it can block impurities in rainwater to prevent corrosion of the car body, especially protecting the paint from acid rain damage. Choosing a car cover with good waterproof material is crucial, such as the PVC-coated type, which offers strong protection but requires attention to securely fasten the edges with straps to avoid being blown up by strong winds, which could damage the vehicle or the environment. After covering the car, I check for any water accumulation points to prevent mold growth in corners; once the rain stops, I immediately remove and air-dry the cover to extend its lifespan. An added benefit is saving time and money on car washes during the rainy and snowy seasons. In conclusion, covering the car with a car cover in rainy weather is entirely feasible, and when done correctly, it provides comprehensive protection for the car's appearance and structural durability.

What documents are required for entering and exiting highways now?

Need a driver's license and a mileage card, and some regions require a nucleic acid test certificate. Below is the relevant introduction: Introduction to the Mileage Card: The highway composite pass card, also known as the CPC card, is one of the fundamental and core tasks in the pilot project of canceling provincial boundary toll stations on highways. The CPC card can identify the vehicle's entry and exit information at toll stations and accurately record the vehicle's actual travel path, providing an important basis for cross-provincial toll calculation and settlement. Functional Features: The CPC card can not only identify the vehicle's entry and exit information at toll stations but also accurately record the vehicle's actual travel path by setting up path recognition systems at interchange locations on the highway network, providing an important basis for cross-provincial toll calculation and settlement.

What is the Difference Between Non-Operational and Operational Trucks?

The differences between non-operational and operational trucks are as follows: 1. Large-scale characteristics: Vehicles engaged in commercial road passenger and freight transportation are mostly medium and large-sized vehicles, with their external dimensions, curb weight, gross weight, passenger capacity, and cargo capacity far exceeding those of ordinary private vehicles. 2. Operational intensity characteristics: China has a vast territory with diverse geographical and topographical features, resulting in high operational intensity, long running times, and complex operating environments for vehicles. Particularly in terms of operational intensity, it is much higher than that of ordinary private vehicles. The average annual mileage per vehicle is significantly higher than that in developed countries such as Japan and Germany (50,000–60,000 km/year), and even more so compared to ordinary private vehicles (10,000–30,000 km/year). 3. Premature decline in technical performance characteristics: Due to a lack of self-discipline and professional ethics among drivers or vehicle owners, who often prioritize economic benefits, issues such as overloading and overcrowding are prominent. Combined with high operational intensity, this leads to overloaded driving, premature decline in technical performance, and a general deterioration in vehicle condition.

Does a faulty oxygen sensor significantly affect the car's power?

A faulty oxygen sensor has a significant impact on the car's power because the oxygen sensor is a crucial component that is related to the air-fuel ratio of the car's engine. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, it will cause the engine's air-fuel ratio to be inaccurate, thereby affecting the engine's performance. Oxygen sensors are installed on the car's exhaust pipe, specifically near the exhaust manifold, close to the three-way catalytic converter. As a key component of the electronic fuel injection system, the oxygen sensor plays a vital role in ensuring the engine's normal operation and effective control of exhaust emissions. Once the oxygen sensor or its connecting circuit fails, it not only leads to excessive emissions but also worsens the engine's operating conditions, resulting in symptoms such as stalling at idle, irregular engine operation, and reduced power.

Where is the oil-water separator located?

Oil-water separators are mostly located in the engine compartment. Relevant information about oil-water separators is as follows: 1. Introduction: An oil-water separator is a device, divided into two types: catering oil-water separators and industrial oil-water separators. Catering oil-water separators are used in the catering industry to treat sewage; due to environmental protection requirements, sewage generated by ship machinery discharged into rivers, lakes, and seas must be treated, requiring the use of industrial oil-water separators. 2. Working Principle: When compressed air enters the oil-water separator, it undergoes drastic changes in flow direction and speed. Relying on inertia, oil droplets and water droplets with a higher density than compressed air are separated. Common types include impact oil-water separators and annular rotary oil-water separators. When compressed air enters the separator shell, the airflow first hits a baffle and is deflected downward, then rises upward again, creating an annular rotation. This causes water droplets and oil droplets to separate from the air under centrifugal and inertial forces, settling at the bottom of the shell.
