Rearview mirrors can be repainted. Carefully inspect the damaged area; if the damage exceeds one-third of the component, an over-repair method should be used for restoration. Waxing: Waxing is divided into direct waxing and polishing waxing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax. This method can instantly make the car look shiny. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the car paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for the care of key areas such as the car's paint surface, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, and tires. It comes in quick-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Car coating is a highly protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple effects such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.

What is the Normal Position for Engine Oil in a Car?

Generally, it should be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. There are two key points to note when adding engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil: It is necessary to strictly follow the oil grade specified in the car's user manual. If the same grade is not available, a higher grade can be used, but a lower grade should not be substituted; 2. When adding engine oil: The amount of oil added should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil can increase the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, reduce the engine's output power, and the excess oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.

Does the Airbag Warning Light Affect Driving?

Car airbag warning light does not affect vehicle operation. Here is an introduction to airbag-related content: Airbag warning light: The illumination of the airbag light only indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's airbag system, which means the airbag system won't deploy to protect occupants during a collision. Airbag introduction: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that works in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. In a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%.

Who Invented the Seat Belt?

Seat belts were invented by Nils Bohlin. Below is an introduction to seat belt-related content: Seat Belt Buckle: A seat belt buckle is a device that can be inserted into a car's seat belt socket, allowing the driver to bypass the seat belt warning system without triggering an alarm. The designs of these buckles are highly diverse, ranging from vehicle brand logos to anime characters, basketball, or soccer team emblems. Introduction to Seat Belts: Seat belts are the sole guarantee of a driver's safety and represent an active form of protection. They can be life-saving in critical moments. Even when a car is moving at relatively slow speeds, a collision or sudden braking can generate enough inertia to cause the driver and passengers to lose control of their bodies, potentially leading to injuries from hitting hard components like the steering wheel or windshield.

Why Can't the RPM Go Up?

Here are the reasons why the RPM can't go up: 1. Clogged fuel filter: During inspection, the mechanic found that the fuel filter housing was quite worn, indicating it had not been replaced for a long time. If the fuel filter is not replaced for an extended period, the internal filter material gradually becomes clogged with impurities in the fuel, leading to insufficient fuel flow. At idle or low RPM, the fuel supply may still support engine operation, but during rapid acceleration, the engine may not receive enough fuel, resulting in insufficient power and difficulty in increasing RPM. 2. Dirty air filter: Air intake also affects engine power. If the engine's air intake is insufficient, both fuel injection volume and combustion efficiency will decrease, failing to provide adequate power. When the air filter is not replaced for a long time, the filter material becomes partially clogged, reducing the engine's air intake. This may cause the engine to operate normally at idle or low RPM but experience power limitations during rapid acceleration due to insufficient air intake.

Can Airbags Cause Injury When Deployed?

Airbags may cause injury when deployed. Here is an introduction to airbag-related content: Principle of Operation: When an airbag deploys, the gas expands instantly, similar to a small gas explosive detonating and releasing gas to rapidly inflate the airbag. This can cause some degree of injury to the human body, especially to children. However, in the event of a fatal collision, airbags play a crucial protective role, making vehicles with airbags safer. Types of Airbags: Most vehicles are equipped with at least two airbags—one located in the center of the steering wheel and another in front of the front passenger seat. These are collectively referred to as the driver and front passenger airbags, designed to protect against frontal collisions. Vehicles with slightly better configurations may also include front side airbags and rear side airbags, while higher-end models may feature side curtain airbags, all of which are designed to protect against side impacts.

What are the misconceptions about the role of seat belts?

When a vehicle collision occurs, the incorrect statements about the role of seat belts include protecting the neck from injury, reducing driver fatigue, and maintaining the correct driving posture. Below is an introduction to seat belt-related information: The function of seat belts: Car seat belts are safety devices designed to restrain occupants during a collision, prevent secondary collisions between occupants and the steering wheel or dashboard, or avoid injuries caused by being ejected from the vehicle during a collision. Car seat belts are widely recognized as the most cost-effective and efficient safety devices, and their installation is mandatory in many countries. Precautions: Regularly check the condition of seat belts and replace them promptly if damaged. All bolts securing the seat belts on the floor near the seats should be tightened according to regulations, and sealant should be applied around the bolts. The three-point lap belt should be worn as low as possible, around the hips, not the waist.
