Running the air conditioner in the car during summer without ventilating the car first can lead to poisoning. Below is an introduction to the risks of poisoning from running the air conditioner in the car during summer: 1. Interior adhesives contain toxic substances: The adhesives used in car interiors contain varying levels of formaldehyde. Under high temperatures, these toxic substances can volatilize faster, filling the car with 'toxic gas.' If the external temperature rises to 35°C, the interior of a closed car can reach 65°C within 15 minutes, causing the volatilization of formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and xylene to increase by 5 to 7 times compared to normal conditions. 2. Countermeasures: Before starting the car, drivers should open all the doors to allow thorough air exchange between the inside and outside of the car, dispersing the toxic gases inside. After starting the vehicle, do not rush to turn on the cold air. Instead, let the fan blow natural air for 5 minutes to expel stale air and heat from the air conditioning system. Close the windows only after the air conditioner has been running for 1 minute. This not only improves cooling efficiency but also benefits engine maintenance.

What Types of Vehicles Are Suitable for 0W-20 Full Synthetic Engine Oil?

About the introduction of vehicles suitable for 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil is as follows: 1. New cars with smaller engine clearances. 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil is suitable for new cars with engine clearances smaller than -35 degrees Celsius. 0W has a wide range of applications, but the viscosity of 20-grade oil is relatively low. Choosing it correctly can save fuel, but it often leads to insufficient protection due to being too thin. 2. Suitable for Japanese cars. 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil is suitable for some Japanese cars equipped with naturally aspirated engines. Generally, only Japanese cars use 0W-20 oil. 0W-20 oil is suitable for engines with low power, low RPM, and low operating temperatures. The 'W' in the oil model stands for 'winter,' indicating that the oil can be used normally in winter. The number before 'W' represents the oil's low-temperature flow performance.

What causes oil leakage from tires?

Possible causes include brake fluid leakage or abnormal shock absorber system with oil leakage. Preventive measures for vehicle oil leakage: 1. Pay attention to the role of gaskets: The gaskets between components in static parts of the vehicle (such as joint surfaces, end covers, housings, cover pads, flat enamel covers, etc.) play a sealing and leak-proof role. If the material, manufacturing quality, or installation does not meet technical specifications, they will fail to provide leak-proof sealing and may even cause accidents. 2. Tighten nuts according to the specified torque: If too loose, the gasket won't be compressed tightly and may leak; if too tight, it may cause the surrounding metal to bulge or the threads to strip, leading to oil leakage. Additionally, if the oil pan drain plug is not tightened or becomes loose and falls off, it can easily cause oil loss, leading to severe engine damage such as "bearing seizure and crankshaft damage."

Documents required for reissuing the vehicle license: 1. "Application Form for Replacement or Reissue of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates"; 2. Identity proof of the vehicle owner; 3. Proof of vehicle origin such as the purchase invoice; 4. Whole vehicle factory qualification certificate or import certificate for imported vehicles; 5. Vehicle purchase tax payment certificate or tax exemption certificate; 6. Compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate for motor vehicles; 7. Other proofs and certificates required by laws and administrative regulations during motor vehicle registration.

What are the classification standards for mini, medium, and large vans?

The following is an introduction to the classification standards for mini, medium, and large vans: 1. Basis: The classification of truck models is based on vehicle dimensions. 2. Mini van and medium van classification: The reference dimension for distinguishing between mini vans and medium vans is the overall length. A vehicle with an overall length ≥4.80 meters is classified as a medium van, while those less than 4.8 meters are classified as mini vans. 3. Mini truck and medium truck classification: The reference dimension for distinguishing between mini trucks and medium trucks is the cargo box length. A cargo box length ≥3.8 meters is classified as a medium truck, while those less than 3.8 meters are classified as mini trucks. 4. Classification by seating capacity: 7 seats and below are classified as micro; 12 seats and below as medium; 13 seats and above as large.

What is the size of the Mazda CX-4 front windshield?

The size of the Mazda CX-4 front windshield is 5145*80cm. The following are the functions of the windshield: 1. Differentiation: The car's windshield is placed vertically, like a large plane mirror, which will image the passengers inside the car in front of the vehicle, hindering the driver from seeing pedestrians on the road and easily causing illusions. When the car's windshield is installed at an angle, the reflection of the passengers inside the car through the front windshield is imaged above the front of the car, while pedestrians on the road are in front of the car, allowing the driver to distinguish between the passengers inside the car and pedestrians on the road. 2. Safety: Tempered glass is another type of safety glass, widely used in modern cars for side and rear windows. Compared to laminated glass, tempered glass increases its strength through heating and pressurization. When damaged, it shatters into smooth, small particles like breadcrumbs, reducing the possibility of injury from glass fragments.

What is the Small Car Incremental Quota?

Small car incremental quota refers to the additional quantity of passenger vehicles added on the basis of the existing ones. Below is more relevant information: 1. Application procedure for incremental quota: Select the type of incremental quota and allocation method, then obtain an application code. After qualification review, confirm the application code as valid. With the valid code, obtain the incremental quota through lottery or bidding. 2. Notes: Individuals can only obtain one application code. Each code can only correspond to one type of incremental quota and one allocation method per allocation period. If individuals or units need to change the type of incremental quota application or allocation method, they should cancel the original application and reapply. To cancel or withdraw an incremental quota allocation application, it must be submitted before the specified date of the quota allocation.
