You should not turn on the air conditioning directly after getting in the car. It is recommended to wait a few minutes after the vehicle is running before turning it on, as it takes a few minutes for the lubricating oil to fully lubricate the various components of the engine. Turning on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car will increase the load on the engine, and starting the air conditioning without sufficient lubrication will accelerate engine wear. Below is an introduction to air conditioning maintenance: 1. Comprehensive inspection of the air conditioning: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, you should first check the air conditioning system, such as checking the refrigerant and whether the air conditioning filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and whether there are foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to the cleaning of the air conditioning: The air filter should be replaced regularly, otherwise the air conditioning will produce a musty smell. In addition, the condenser should also be cleaned regularly, and the water tank should be removed for thorough cleaning.

Below is some relevant information about this engine: 1. Specifications: Maximum torque of 235NM (at 3800 RPM), maximum power of 118KW. 2. Features: The engine's main components have high rigidity, with lightweight design for major moving parts to reduce friction loss. It employs efficient combustion methods such as rolling combustion and optimal fuel injection. By enhancing the rigidity of the cylinder block and crankshaft, and using vibration-damping resin materials for certain parts, the engine noise is minimized.

Is the safety inspection provided by PICC considered as maintenance?

PICC's safety inspection is not car maintenance, but a regular safety check for vehicles. Here is the relevant introduction about vehicle safety inspection: 1. Definition: According to the national vehicle inspection regulations, it regularly checks the items related to safety and environmental protection in the vehicle to ensure safe driving and reduce pollution to an acceptable level. 2. Features: This safety inspection only shows two results: 'pass' or 'fail', without displaying specific data, thus the inspection is quick. Vehicles that pass the inspection can use the inspection report to apply for the annual inspection visa, allowing the vehicle to be driven within the validity period.

What are the precautions for installing additional airbags?

Precautions for installing additional airbags: 1. Safety equipment cannot be arbitrarily modified. In the event of a major traffic accident involving a vehicle with privately installed safety equipment, the insurance company may refuse to compensate on the grounds that the owner has altered the vehicle's safety structure without authorization. 2. Stability is not as good as the original factory. The structure and performance of each vehicle are different. As a safety device, airbags must undergo matching tests before being finalized and installed to control the detonation speed and time of the airbag to avoid secondary injuries to the occupants. The role of airbags: To reduce the degree of injury to the occupants, the airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, can provide effective collision protection for the occupants.

What happens when there is insufficient engine air intake?

Insufficient engine air intake manifests as symptoms of too little air and too much fuel, leading to reduced engine power and engine shaking. Below are the reasons for insufficient engine air intake: 1. Clogged air filter: A blocked air filter increases intake resistance and reduces the amount of air entering the cylinders, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and insufficient engine power. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle: Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle and surrounding intake passages alter the cross-sectional area of the air channels, preventing the control unit from precisely regulating the air intake. This also leads to insufficient air intake, causing the air-fuel mixture to be either too rich or too lean, resulting in engine shaking.
