It depends on which part of the glass is cracked. Generally, it is not recommended to drive. Below is relevant information about windshield repair: 1. Considerations: Only the front windshield can be repaired because it is made of laminated glass, which usually does not suffer extensive cracking. In such cases, repair is possible. 2. Types of Glass Damage: One type is bullseye or star-shaped cracks. A bullseye is circular, resembling a dent; a star-shaped crack radiates from the impact point like a spiderweb. Generally, if a bullseye crack exceeds 3cm in diameter, the damage is too severe to repair. Star-shaped cracks over 30cm in diameter are also difficult to repair, and even if repaired, there is no guarantee of quality or appearance.

Is It Necessary to Replace a Car Battery When It's Dead?

When a car battery is dead, it should be charged immediately. If it fails to function properly after charging, the battery needs to be replaced. Methods for handling a dead car battery: 1. Once the car battery is dead, it should be charged immediately using a battery charger. If a regular charger fails to charge it, a high-resistance repair device must be used to raise the voltage above 10V to enable charging. 2. If the battery voltage is below 9V and cannot be improved through charging or repair, the battery must be replaced. 3. If the battery cannot be charged or if the starter is weak and the headlights are noticeably dim, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours using a charger. If it still doesn't work after charging, and the mileage has exceeded 50,000 KM with no generator issues, then it's time to consider replacing the battery.

What are the precautions for changing car engine oil?

Precautions for changing car engine oil are as follows: 1. The selection of engine oil should be based on the requirements of the engine. It is unnecessary to use excessively high-grade oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. 2. Multi-grade oil should be preferred as it has a longer lifespan, is more efficient, and provides better protection for the engine. During use, phenomena such as premature darkening or lower oil pressure compared to regular oil may occur, which are normal. 3. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, it is advisable to use oil with lower viscosity to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, using high-viscosity oil helps in forming an oil film and reducing engine wear.

What Maintenance Does a 30,000 km Car Need?

For a car that has reached 30,000 kilometers, the following maintenance items are required: 1. Oil change; 2. Oil filter replacement; 3. Air filter replacement; 4. Fuel filter replacement; 5. Throttle body cleaning; 6. Spark plug replacement. In addition to regular maintenance at a 4S shop, car owners should also develop daily maintenance habits. Daily maintenance includes tasks before driving, during driving, and after parking. In fact, daily maintenance is quite simple and can be summarized as: cleaning, tightening, checking, and replenishing. Even if car owners can spare just a little time each week for daily maintenance, it can help keep the vehicle in like-new condition while also allowing them to monitor the technical status of various parts of the car, thereby avoiding mechanical failures and traffic accidents.

What is the purpose of fog lights?

Fog lights serve the following purposes: 1. Front fog lights are installed on the front of the car at a slightly lower position than the headlights, used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. Yellow fog lights have strong light penetration, which can improve visibility for the driver and other road users. 2. Rear fog lights are designed in red to serve as a warning, alerting vehicles behind to maintain a safe distance. Precautions for using fog lights: Fog lights are suitable for severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or dust. The visible range of fog lights is approximately 100 meters. When visibility drops below 100 meters, fog lights must be turned on, and drivers should reduce their speed accordingly.

What does ESC stand for in cars?

ESC in cars refers to the Electronic Stability Control system, an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It automatically corrects the vehicle's instability to help prevent accidents. More details are as follows: 1. ESC consists of three main components: sensors, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. The ECU monitors the vehicle's operating status and intervenes in the engine and braking system. 2. ESC uses advanced sensing technology to determine the driver's intended direction. When the vehicle begins to deviate from the intended path, the system activates intervention measures, applying braking force to one or more wheels and reducing engine torque output to guide the vehicle back to the correct path.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound When Pressing the Accelerator?

Automobile acceleration produces a buzzing sound due to: 1. Unstable engine operation; 2. Carburetor malfunction or delayed ignition timing; 3. Excessive engine carbon buildup or poor filtration; 4. Inadequate lubrication of engine components by the oil. The accelerator, also known as the "throttle" or "butterfly valve," is the control device that regulates engine power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle adjusts the carburetor's butterfly valve opening to control cylinder filling, thereby determining engine output. In gas turbine engines, the throttle regulates the metered fuel flow through the fuel controller, thus determining the thrust produced by the engine.
