If the generator is broken, the car can still run, but it will lead to insufficient power supply, posing a risk of sudden stalling and causing damage to the battery, reducing its service life. The car generator is the main power source of the vehicle. Its working principle is that when the external circuit energizes the excitation winding through the brushes, a magnetic field is generated, and the claw poles are magnetized into N and S poles. The precautions for using a car generator are: 1. Regularly clean the accumulated dirt and dust on the generator's surface to maintain cleanliness and good ventilation; 2. Periodically check the tightness of all fasteners related to the generator and tighten all screws in time; 3. If the generator fails to generate electricity, troubleshoot the issue promptly.

How Long Can a Driver's License Be Overdue Before It Cannot Be Renewed?

If your driver's license has expired, delaying the renewal process for a few days will not cause any issues. However, it is best not to exceed three years after expiration, otherwise the license will be revoked. Below are the specific scenarios: Renewal overdue by less than one year: If the driver's license is in an expired but not renewed state, the driver can bring their ID card, the expired license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution to the DMV to complete the renewal process without having to take any additional tests. Overdue by one to three years: If the driver's license has been overdue for more than one year but less than three years, it will be in a "revoked but recoverable" state during this two-year period. This means that although the license is technically revoked, it can still be reinstated. The driver only needs to pass the written test (Subject 1) at the DMV, and upon passing, they can proceed with the normal renewal process.

Does running out of windshield washer fluid affect the car?

If a car runs out of windshield washer fluid and the washer function is not used, it will not affect the vehicle itself. However, if the washer function is used for a long time without fluid, the washer pump may run dry and potentially burn out. More importantly, driving without windshield washer fluid significantly impacts driving safety. Here is relevant information: Functions of windshield washer fluid: It has cleaning, antifreeze, antistatic, and anti-corrosion properties. Some high-quality fluids also offer quick snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fogging effects, which greatly enhance driving safety.

What is the normal tire pressure for cars in autumn?

For different car models, their weights vary, and so do the standard tire pressures. Generally speaking, the standard tire pressure for household passenger cars ranges between 2.2—2.5 bar, which can be slightly higher or lower but should not deviate too much. Below is relevant information: Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: Simply put, when the tire pressure is too low, tire wear accelerates, increasing the risk of blowouts and fuel consumption. When the tire pressure is too high, tire grip decreases and wear accelerates, while braking performance weakens. Specific tire pressures: New tires: The tire pressure can be adjusted about 0.2 bar higher than the standard tire pressure of the car's original tires. Old tires: Appropriately lower the tire pressure according to the standard tire pressure of the car tires. If the wear is severe, set the tire pressure to the lower limit of the standard. Soft tires: Tires with comfort tread patterns can be adjusted about 0.2 bar higher than the standard tire pressure. Hard tires: Tires with performance tread patterns should be set to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure.
