You can clean your car air conditioner by yourself. Here are some precautions for using the air conditioner: 1. Choose the appropriate temperature: If the temperature is too low, it may affect your health, so it's important to set the right temperature. The most comfortable temperature for the human body is between 20°C and 25°C. Above 28°C, people will feel stuffy, and below 14°C, they will feel cold. Therefore, the car air conditioner should maintain a temperature between 18°C and 25°C to avoid health issues caused by excessively low temperatures. 2. Adjust the air vent direction properly: Some car owners do not pay attention to adjusting the direction of the air vents, which affects the optimal performance of the air conditioner. According to the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, set the vents upward when using the cooling mode and downward when using the heating mode. 3. Avoid using the air conditioner at low speeds: When stuck in traffic, do not increase the engine speed to enhance the air conditioner's performance, as this can negatively impact the lifespan of both the engine and the air conditioner compressor.

How Long Does It Take to Receive the New Energy Green License Plate?

Normally, the license plate is issued within about 7 working days, but the specific time may vary depending on the region. If you haven't received the license plate yet and are in urgent need of using the vehicle, you can apply for a temporary license plate from the vehicle management office. The validity of the temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. Below is an introduction to new energy vehicles: Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Classification: New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices). Advantages: Zero or near-zero emissions, reduced water pollution from oil leaks, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved fuel economy, enhanced engine combustion efficiency, smooth operation, and no noise.

What does the AMS button in the car mean?

AMS in the car stands for Alternator-Management-System, referring to the power management system. Below is more information about AMS: Function: Cars equipped with the AMS power management system allow the generator to measure the battery status via current sensors. It adjusts the generator's load based on driving conditions, controlling battery charging and discharging to improve fuel efficiency and extend battery life. Power Distribution: The AMS system manages power distribution, optimizing the engine's electrical supply. During Driving: Dynamic power management allocates the current generated by the generator to various electrical components as needed. When the generator produces more current than the electrical components consume, it regulates and supplies the excess to the battery, ensuring optimal charging.

What is the maintenance method for oxygen sensors?

The maintenance method for oxygen sensors: The normal operation of an oxygen sensor can be determined by observing the amplitude and frequency of its voltage changes. To check whether the oxygen sensor is functioning properly, a fault diagnostic tool can be used. After starting the engine and allowing it to reach normal operating temperature, the voltage of the oxygen sensor should fluctuate rapidly within the range of 0.1v to 0.9v, indicating that the oxygen sensor is working normally. Oxygen sensors are present in every car, and typically, there are two oxygen sensors in a vehicle—one located behind the exhaust manifold and the other behind the three-way catalytic converter. Oxygen sensors require regular cleaning, as prolonged use can lead to carbon buildup on the sensor, which may affect its normal operation.
