Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning When the Car Is Not Moving?

You cannot keep the air conditioning on continuously when the car is not moving. Turning on the air conditioning after parking is fine for a short period, but if you leave the engine running with the air conditioning on for an extended time while parked, it can lead to long-term battery drain. When the car's engine is running, incomplete combustion of gasoline in the cylinders can produce high concentrations of carbon monoxide, which poses a danger to occupants. Correct way to use the air conditioning: ventilate first, then cool down. On hot summer days, if the interior temperature is higher than the outside, open the windows for the first few minutes to ventilate and expel the hot air. After the cabin temperature drops, turn on the air conditioning, close all windows, and switch the air circulation mode to recirculation. Adjust the air vent direction properly. Some drivers do not pay attention to adjusting the direction of the air flow to maximize the air conditioning's efficiency. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, the correct approach is to point the vents upward when cooling and downward when heating.

What Causes the Clutch Travel to Become Shorter on a Motorcycle?

With prolonged use, the clutch cable will stretch, and components of the clutch operating system will experience wear. As a result, the travel of the clutch lever generally increases, and the distance required to pull the lever becomes shorter. In such cases, you can adjust the clutch cable's travel as needed. For example, there are usually adjustment screws on the cable or the lever itself. The motorcycle clutch is located on the left side of the motorcycle's footrest. Precautions: When starting, the motorcycle should be in neutral. After ignition, the motorcycle should be in normal idle speed. Hold the clutch lever with your hand, shift into first gear, and then slowly release the clutch for a smooth start. Clutch Introduction: Before installation, the clutch must be thoroughly cleaned to remove anti-rust grease and debris. The clutch can be installed coaxially or on separate shafts, but axial fixation is essential. For wet electromagnetic clutches, lubricating oil must be added between the friction plates during operation. When installing jaw-type electromagnetic clutches, ensure there is a certain gap between the end-face teeth to prevent grinding when idling.

Can I Use Insurance for Paint Touch-up at a 4S Shop?

You can use insurance for paint touch-up at a 4S shop. For minor repair costs, you can file a claim under the scratch insurance, regardless of the location of the scratches. This is suitable for multiple small scratches on the car. The 4S shop will ask the owner to call the insurance company and report that the car was scratched while parked on the roadside with multiple scratches. The rest will be handled by the 4S shop for repairs. If the damage is concentrated and it's convenient to create an on-site scenario, you can file under the car damage insurance. Remember, it's best to use scratch insurance once a year, saving up minor damages for a single repair. Insurance Claim Notes: If the owner files only one claim in a year, even if the cost is low, it's still recommended to report it to the insurance company, as it won't affect the premium discount for the following year. Scratch Insurance Coverage: Scratch insurance covers isolated scratches on the car without any signs of collision or scraping. However, scratches on the car's paint surface caused by collisions or scraping during driving are not covered under scratch insurance.

Do you need to watch the traffic light when turning left?

You need to watch the traffic light when turning left. In the case of a circular light: If the traffic light at the intersection you need to pass through is a circular light and there is no left-turn light, you must wait for the straight green light to turn on before you can turn left. Left-turn arrow light: If the traffic light on the road is an arrow light marked for left turns, you must wait for the left-turn traffic light to display green before you can turn left. Left-turn waiting area: If the road has a left-turn waiting area, you need to enter the waiting area when the straight green light is on, wait for the left-turn green light to turn on, and then turn left. Whether it's a left turn, going straight, or making a U-turn, as long as you drive past the road stop line after the yellow or red light turns on and continue driving to the opposite intersection without stopping in the middle, it is considered a red-light running violation. Currently, whether running a red light or a yellow light, both are subject to the same penalties, with the same standard of punishment.

Do You Need to Turn on the Turn Signal When Driving in a Curve?

You do not need to turn on the turn signal when driving in a curve. The turn signal is a warning light used by motor vehicles to alert other traffic participants during driving, emitting a continuous flashing yellow light when activated. Scenarios for using turn signals: When overtaking, turn on the left turn signal for at least three seconds before changing lanes when conditions permit. To return to the original lane, activate the right turn signal in advance. When pulling over to park, use the right turn signal. After leaving the parking spot, first turn on the left turn signal. These signals must be activated for at least three seconds. When merging lanes, avoid turning on the turn signal while merging simultaneously, as this renders the signal ineffective. Activate the turn signal in advance based on the traffic situation, for at least three seconds. How to activate the turn signal: The turn signal switch is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel. Its operation can be summarized as "up for right, down for left"—turning the switch upward (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while turning it downward (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn.
