The air intake of a car air conditioner can be washed with water. The method for cleaning the car's air intake grille is to adjust the water gun's pressure to a lower setting, without opening the car's front hood. Direct the water gun at the air intake grille and spray from top to bottom to prevent water from splashing into the air intake. Reasons for cleaning the car air conditioner: The radiator is located near the outer part of the vehicle's grille and can often be seen without even opening the grille, making it directly exposed to the outside. As a result, dirt entering through the grille while driving can easily accumulate on this mesh radiator. If not cleaned promptly, it can block the cooling vents, reduce cooling efficiency, and lead to issues such as ineffective air conditioning and rising water temperatures. Therefore, timely cleaning of the radiator is crucial. Methods for cleaning the car air conditioner: If there are larger debris like branches or leaves on the radiator's surface, you can remove them manually first. If not, you can directly use an air pump for cleaning (many small air pumps are available on the market, or you can use those available at car wash shops).

Automatic judgment: After switching to the automatic mode, it can automatically determine whether to turn on the internal circulation or the external circulation based on the control quality inside and outside the vehicle. After switching to the m mode, the driver can control the air conditioner to turn on the internal circulation or the external circulation. 2. Car air conditioner: The car air conditioner has an internal circulation mode and an external circulation mode. After turning on the internal circulation mode, fresh air from outside the vehicle will not enter the vehicle. After turning on the external circulation mode, fresh air from outside the vehicle can enter the vehicle. If you are driving on some highways, it is recommended to turn on the external circulation.

Is it allowed to modify the appearance of the exhaust pipe?

Modifying the appearance of the exhaust pipe is not allowed. Here are the relevant details: 1. Installing detachable license plate frames: Many citizens use detachable license plate frames for protection or other purposes, but vehicles with such modifications will be deemed unqualified and cannot pass the annual inspection. 2. Changing the vehicle's color, replacing the engine, or applying non-compliant window tinting: Many young car owners are keen on modifying the exterior and interior of their vehicles, with some even replacing the engine. According to relevant laws, a vehicle must match the factory specifications before registration, and after registration, it must comply with the information recorded on the vehicle license. Changing the vehicle's color, tires, etc., is not permitted. Additionally, when applying window tinting, the film's light transmittance must not be less than 70%, and mirror-like reflective films are strictly prohibited. 3. Installing high-intensity xenon headlights: Many drivers, finding their headlights insufficiently bright at night, choose to install high-intensity xenon headlights privately.

What causes the squeaking sound when braking in the Excelle?

Rust or dirt on the brake discs or brake pads can cause noise. After prolonged parking, especially in humid climates or after rain, rust or debris may form on the brake discs or pads, leading to unusual sounds. Below is relevant information: 1. Concept: The brake disc is essentially a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force; when you press the brake, it clamps the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer effective braking performance and are easier to maintain than drum brakes. 2. Function: The brake disc and pads are crucial for braking, with the braking force originating from the caliper. Typically, standard calipers have a fixed inner section housing the piston pump, while the outer part features a clamp-like structure. The inner brake pad is fixed to the piston pump, and the outer pad is secured to the caliper's exterior. The piston, driven by hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid, pushes the inner pad while simultaneously pulling the caliper via reaction force, causing the outer pad to press inward. Both pads then clamp the brake disc, generating braking force through friction between the disc and pads. In this process, the piston is actuated by brake fluid (hydraulic oil), which also assists the engine. For the handbrake, a cable mechanism uses a lever structure to forcibly pull the brake pads against the disc, creating braking force.
