Car air conditioning filters cannot be cleaned and reused. Due to the material and structural characteristics of the filter, it must not be washed with water—doing so will render it unusable. To clean the filter, you can use a high-pressure air gun to blow away dust and debris. It is recommended to clean it once a month, especially during the summer when the air conditioning is frequently used. Regular cleaning of the air conditioning filter can extend its lifespan. Below is an extended introduction: Air Conditioning Filter: Its technical name is "automobile cabin air filter," a specialized filter designed for air purification inside the car cabin. Typically, it uses long-fiber non-woven fabric as the primary filtration layer, with some filters incorporating high-efficiency adsorbent materials like activated carbon for better filtration. Main Functions of the Air Conditioning Filter: It filters air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness. It primarily removes impurities such as fine particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The filter prevents these pollutants from entering the air conditioning system, thereby protecting the health of the vehicle occupants.

How to Repair Water Leakage in Car Headlights?

Within fifteen minutes after turning on the headlights, the fog will be evaporated by the heat generated by the headlights or expelled through the vent rubber tube along with the hot air. If after encountering water, you notice that the amount of water inside the headlight is significantly excessive, forming a large amount of water mist and accumulation, this situation can basically be determined as a problem with the headlight seal. Carefully inspect the lens, rear cover, and vent rubber tube for any damage. If no damage is found, separate the lens from the assembly, dry them separately, and then reseal them. If the vehicle is newly installed or newly purchased, it is a quality issue with the craftsmanship, and you should contact the dealer or 4S shop.

What Problems Can Occur When Hydraulic Oil Temperature Is Too High?

Here are the problems that can occur when hydraulic oil temperature is too high: 1. Reduced efficiency: Equipment movements become slower and weaker, reducing work efficiency and increasing engine fuel consumption. 2. Decreased viscosity: The viscosity decreases, leading to reduced lubrication performance. Temperature has a significant impact on hydraulic oil viscosity. When the temperature rises, liquid molecular activity intensifies, cohesion decreases, the hydraulic oil becomes thinner, the oil film becomes thinner and is easily destroyed, lubrication performance deteriorates, hydraulic component wear increases, damaging important hydraulic components such as hydraulic pumps, valves, and locks. 3. Increased internal leakage in the hydraulic system: Internal leakage in the hydraulic system increases, and various performance aspects of the hydraulic system begin to become unstable. The working accuracy of the hydraulic system declines. The valve core and valve body of control valves expand due to heat, the clearance between them decreases, affecting valve core movement, increasing wear, and even causing jamming, which affects hydraulic system operation. 4. Accelerated oxidation of hydraulic oil, leading to deterioration of the hydraulic oil and reducing its service life.

What to Do When the Trunk Won't Open?

You can choose to use the car key to open the trunk at its location, but some vehicles do not have a keyhole for the trunk, requiring alternative methods. First, open the driver's side door of the Luxgen, then press the trunk switch located on the left A-pillar near the driver to open the trunk. By long-pressing or pressing the relevant button on the key, you can open the trunk. If the trunk lock is aged or damaged, preventing the trunk from opening, it is necessary to promptly send the car to a 4S shop for repair and maintenance.

What to Do If the Driver's License Has Passed the Annual Review Deadline?

If there are any demerit records during the current scoring cycle, you must participate in the review at the local Vehicle Management Office where the license was issued within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle. If there are no demerit records, you can be exempted from the review for the current cycle. The scoring cycle starts from the date of the initial license issuance, with each year constituting one cycle. If the review is overdue for one to three years, you need to apply for a supplementary review and complete the relevant procedures at the Vehicle Management Office first. If the review has not been conducted for more than three years, the license will be downgraded to a C1 driver's license, and you will need to handle the matter with the traffic management department.

How to Operate the Handbrake in Subject Two?

Simply press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, then shift the gear into P (Park), and finally press the function button of the electronic handbrake. To release the electronic handbrake, shift the gear into D (Drive) and press the accelerator, or directly press the brake pedal and press the release button of the electronic handbrake. Press the auto-hold function button and depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. At this point, there is no need to keep pressing the brake pedal or use the handbrake. Simply press the accelerator pedal, and there is no need for frequent shifting between D (Drive) to N (Neutral) or D to P (Park) in automatic transmission models.

What to Do If You Accidentally Triggered ETC When Exiting the Highway?

If you accidentally triggered ETC when exiting the highway, you can explain the situation to the toll station staff and make a supplementary payment. When mistakenly entering an ETC-only lane, do not choose to reverse and re-enter the manual lane at the highway toll station, as reversing in this situation is considered a traffic violation and will result in a 12-point deduction. The ETC installation process is as follows: After receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid, Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoids the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces carbon footprint as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, lowering noise and exhaust emissions and reducing pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Increased efficiency: ETC lanes theoretically improve vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more advanced, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
