You should not wash the inside of a car hood with water. Here are the reasons why: 1. It can easily damage the generator, which may lead to its failure. 2. If the car is hot, washing it with water can cause significant harm due to thermal expansion and contraction. 3. The engine compartment contains many electrical wires, and exposure to water can cause problems and accelerate the aging of the wires. Here are some precautions if you must wash it with water: 1. Cover the generator, distributor, brake fluid reservoir, etc., with a cloth or plastic bag, especially the generator and distributor. 2. Try to wash it after the engine has cooled down, and be careful not to use too much water pressure. 3. After washing, use a clean cloth to thoroughly dry the engine compartment, especially the underside of the hood. 4. Do not aim the water jet directly at the air intake.

What are the hazards of not replacing the air conditioning filter?

Failure to replace the air conditioning filter in a timely manner will affect the air output. Reduced air output will lead to poorer cooling performance of the air conditioning system. Additionally, accumulated dirt can breed bacteria and mold, which when blown out can harm health and even impact cooling efficiency. Below are the specific hazards of not replacing the air conditioning filter promptly: 1. Poor maintenance of the air conditioning filter can cause the filter plate, radiator, evaporator, and fin surfaces to accumulate large amounts of dust and dirt, resulting in airflow blockage. This can also lead to reduced cooling and heating efficiency, increased power consumption, noise, and a shortened lifespan of the air conditioning system. 2. More seriously, odors inside the vehicle can endanger the health of both the driver and passengers. Prolonged exposure to such an environment may cause dizziness, nausea, and even respiratory illnesses. The recommended replacement interval for the air conditioning filter is generally every 8,000-10,000 kilometers driven, but this can also be adjusted based on the external driving environment.

In which year was China V introduced?

China V emission standard vehicles started production in 2012 and were implemented in 2013. The emission control level of China V standard is equivalent to the European Union's fifth-stage emission standard currently in effect. Below is some information about China V emissions: 1. Meaning of China V: China V vehicles are those that comply with the 'National Fifth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicles'. These vehicle pollutant emission standards were established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 2. Short interval between China V and China VI implementation: Shortly after the implementation of China V standards, China VI standards were quickly put on the agenda. Many regions implemented China VI standards ahead of schedule. Taking Guangdong Province as an example, starting from July 1, 2019, newly registered vehicles in Guangdong must comply with China VI emission standards. At that time, only China VI standard new vehicles were available in the market, and vehicles transferred from other regions also needed to meet China VI standards.
