Glasses left in a car may cause spontaneous combustion. The lenses of reading glasses and magnifying glasses are convex lenses, which can easily focus light. If light is focused for an extended period, the focal point temperature can become excessively high, accelerating the aging of the interior and, in severe cases, damaging plastic trim panels or even causing the vehicle to spontaneously combust. Therefore, avoid leaving similar lenses in the car on sunny days to prevent accidents. Below are items that should not be left in a car: Flammable and explosive items: Never store them in the trunk, such as lighters, fireworks, etc. If the car's temperature rises too high or comes into contact with an ignition source, the consequences can be severe. Being caught by traffic police may also result in fines and penalty points. Perfume: Perfume is chemically processed under specific conditions. In high temperatures, these chemicals can easily volatilize and may even harm the human body. Direct sunlight can also cause explosions. Reading glasses: Reading glasses are convex lenses that can focus light, leading to excessively high temperatures at the focal point over time, damaging plastic trim panels, or even causing the vehicle to spontaneously combust.

Does BYD DM-i have a transmission?

BYD DM-i has a transmission. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The transmission mainly refers to the car's transmission, which is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission is mainly composed of gears and shafts, generating speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; while the automatic transmission (AT) consists of a torque converter, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation system, and hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. 2. Expansion: The transmission is a very important component in a vehicle. It can change the transmission ratio and expand the driving wheel's torque and speed. With the development of modern technology, transmissions have also been upgraded, from the initial manual transmission to the current continuously variable transmission, and from no synchronizer to having a synchronizer, making operation increasingly convenient.

What is the difference between a 1.2t and a 1.6L car engine?

The differences between a 1.2t and a 1.6L car engine are: 1. Different displacement: The 1.2t has a displacement of 1.2 liters; the 1.6L has a displacement of 1.6 liters. 2. Different intake methods: The 1.2t uses turbocharging; the 1.6L uses natural aspiration. Under the same displacement, a turbocharged engine delivers more power than a naturally aspirated engine, so the 1.2t engine is more powerful than the 1.6L engine. Modern engines can be divided into naturally aspirated and forced induction types, with forced induction further categorized into mechanical supercharging, turbocharging, and the latest pressure wave supercharging. The 1.2t refers to a 1.2-liter displacement engine equipped with a turbocharger, while the 1.6L refers to a 1.6-liter inline naturally aspirated engine.

What are the hazards of frequently changing lanes while driving a motor vehicle? (Multiple Choice)

Hazards of frequently changing lanes while driving a motor vehicle: Firstly, it disrupts normal traffic order, preventing vehicles behind from overtaking and affecting the normal driving of other vehicles, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. Frequent lane changes and overtaking significantly increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle. Once a scrape occurs with vehicles ahead, behind, or to the side, the consequences can be quite severe. Correct lane-changing method: Observe the situation behind through the rearview mirror. If there are no vehicles behind or the speed of the following vehicles is slow, turn on the vehicle's turn signal and change lanes quickly. When changing lanes, do not cross solid lines; lane changes should only be made over dashed lines.

What are the symptoms of a water-damaged engine?

About the symptoms of a water-damaged engine, the relevant introduction is as follows: 1. Engine oil condition: Normal engine oil colors include light yellow, brown, transparent colorless, etc., but it is generally not milky white. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and then put it back in. If the engine has been water-damaged, a milky white mixture of oil and water will appear. 2. Air filter: There will be obvious water traces on the air filter and the lower housing of the air filter. There will also be clear signs of water passing through the intake pipe and intake manifold. You can disassemble and inspect the air filter yourself. 3. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the water is heated by the heat released during combustion in the cylinder and turns into water vapor, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe forming white smoke. After water enters the engine, the car will emit white smoke when started.

What are the reasons for a car not starting due to fuel supply issues?

There are several reasons why a car may not start: 1. No fuel in the car: If the fuel level is very low or the fuel gauge shows below the red line, the car will naturally not start. 2. Dead battery: A car battery can die due to prolonged parking, reaching the end of its lifespan, generator failure, insufficient or leaking electrolyte, blown fuses, corroded battery terminals, or excessive battery usage. 3. Excessive carbon buildup: Too much carbon buildup can cause poor ignition in the car's spark plugs, leaky valves, and poor fuel injection, leading to misfires, sluggish acceleration, engine shaking, and in severe cases, failure to start. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body can block airflow, preventing the engine from starting due to lack of air.
