It is not recommended to park for extended periods in a damp underground garage. The hazards of a damp underground garage to your car include the following aspects: 1. Car Audio System: If the environment is too humid, it can cause difficulties in reading CDs, especially affecting the chips inside the car audio system. In a humid environment, these chips become very fragile, leading to distorted sound output. 2. Spare Tire: To save space, the spare tire is usually placed in a corner, which can easily accumulate dust. If the underground garage remains cold and damp for a long time, these corners may become moldy, subsequently corroding the spare tire and tire-changing tools. 3. Others: In addition, the damp environment of an underground garage may also cause various minor malfunctions in the car.

How Many Years Does a Car Battery Typically Last?

Car batteries typically last 2 to 4 years. Conventional car batteries use lead-acid technology with a cycle life of approximately 200 to 500 charges, resulting in a service life of about 2 to 4 years. Vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop systems utilize specialized batteries that offer higher cycle durability - ranging from 400 to 800 charges - extending their lifespan to 4-6 years. New energy vehicles employ lithium batteries with superior longevity, lasting 5 to 8 years. Most batteries operate under partial charge/discharge conditions during normal vehicle operation, which effectively prolongs cycle life. The specified cycle life refers to complete discharge-charge cycles; standard automotive batteries can endure about 200 full cycles.

Is it free to enter the highway on September 30th and exit on October 1st?

September 30th is free to enter the highway and exit on October 1st. The highway is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the toll lane exit.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?

The clicking sound when turning the steering wheel while stationary is caused by issues such as damage to the vehicle's steering gear, friction in the shock absorber's thrust bearing, looseness in the stabilizer bar, or friction in the steering wheel's airbag clock spring. The specific situations are as follows: 1. If the vehicle's steering gear is damaged, symptoms such as the vehicle pulling to one side on flat ground and abnormal noises when lightly shaking the steering wheel while stationary may occur; 2. If the thrust bearing of the shock absorber lacks lubrication, it will produce noise; 3. Abnormal sounds from the steering column dust cover, which occur due to lack of lubrication in the steering column dust cover, resulting in friction sounds; 4. If the abnormal noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it is most likely caused by the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. Remove the airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, replace the airbag clock spring.

What to Do If You Can't Tell Left from Right When Steering in Reverse?

For those who can't distinguish left from right when steering in reverse, just remember one key point: turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the rear of the car to go. For example: when reversing, if the front of the car is leaning to the left, it means the rear is leaning to the right. To reduce the angle of the rear leaning right, you should turn the steering wheel to the left. For those who can distinguish left from right, turning the steering wheel to the left will make the car go left; turning it to the right will make the car go right. When driving normally, if you feel the car is veering left, turn the steering wheel slightly to the right to correct it. Similarly, if the car veers right, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left. During reversing, maintain an idle speed to facilitate timely adjustments to the car's position.
