It is possible to turn on the air conditioner when the car is turned off, but it will not provide cooling, and prolonged use can easily lead to battery drain. Here are some details about using the air conditioner with the car turned off: 1. You can turn on the air conditioner without starting the car, but the air blown by the blower will only be natural air because the air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine's power. When the car is turned off, the compressor naturally does not work. 2. The natural air blown by the blower is powered by the battery. Excessive use of the blower may drain the battery over time, leading to long-term battery depletion. Note that this applies only to traditional fuel-powered vehicles.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake When Braking at High Speed?

The reasons for steering wheel shaking during high-speed braking are: 1. Force feedback effect; 2. Issues with the vehicle's tires; 3. Deformation of front wheel rims or unequal number of tire bolts; 4. Loose installation of transmission system components; 5. Bent drive shaft, power imbalance, or front axle deformation; 6. Shock absorber malfunction. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. The operating methods for the steering wheel are: 1. Place both hands appropriately on the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions of the steering wheel with moderate force; 2. Naturally grip the steering wheel with four fingers inward and extend the thumbs naturally along the edge of the steering wheel.

Can Non-Independent Suspension Be Modified to Independent Suspension?

Non-independent suspension can be modified to independent suspension. The differences between non-independent suspension and independent suspension are: 1. Different structures: The wheels on the same axle of a non-independent suspension are connected, while those of an independent suspension are not. 2. Different movements: The wheels on the same axle of a non-independent suspension interfere with each other during movement, whereas those of an independent suspension do not. 3. Different applicable vehicle types: Compact or small cars typically use non-independent suspension, with independent suspension for the front and torsion beam suspension for the rear. Independent suspension enhances ride comfort and driving quality, which is why luxury cars often employ high-end independent suspension systems.

Where is the reverse light switch located?

The reverse light switch is located on the transmission. The reverse lights do not need to be manually turned on; they will automatically activate when the car is shifted into reverse gear. The working principle of the reverse lights is as follows: when the car is reversing, shifting into reverse gear mechanically presses down the switch contacts, closing the circuit and turning on the reverse lights. When the reverse gear is disengaged, the switch contacts spring back, opening the circuit and turning off the reverse lights. Precautions for reversing include: 1. Adjust the interior rearview mirror properly; 2. Pay attention to both side mirrors; 3. Control the speed; 4. Stop and wait if there are pedestrians or oncoming vehicles; 5. Use the reversing camera to accurately judge distances.

What are the causes of unstable idle speed and shaking?

The causes of unstable idle speed and shaking are: 1. The vehicle's ignition system has malfunctioned; 2. Components in the ignition system have become loose; 3. Severe carbon buildup in the engine; 4. Aging of engine components; 5. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body; 6. The air filter has not been replaced in time; 7. Excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors; 8. Problems with the ignition system; 9. Unstable fuel pressure. Idle speed in a car is not a specific speed but rather an operating condition. When the engine is running without any load, it is referred to as idling. When the accelerator pedal is fully released while the engine is running, the engine enters the idle state. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size and other methods.
