You can use windshield wipers normally after car window tinting because the wipers are located on the outside of the front windshield, while the window film is applied to the inside of the front windshield, meaning there is no contact between the two. Car window tinting involves applying a thin film to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. This film is also known as solar film or heat-insulating and explosion-proof film. The functions of window film include: Blocking heat generated by infrared rays. Filtering ultraviolet rays to protect the skin. Enhancing safety and explosion resistance, as the film has strong tear and puncture resistance. Maintaining privacy and security. Reducing air conditioning load. Minimizing accidents caused by glare. Precautions after car window tinting: Avoid rolling down windows for 3 days. Do not clean the tinted film or turn on the defogging heating wires for a week. Avoid using nails or sharp objects to lift the edges of the film to prevent dirt from entering. Do not attach suction cup items to the film for 1 to 2 weeks. Bubbles, displacement, or blurred vision on the film should be addressed by a professional technician promptly to ensure driving safety. Cleaning methods for window film: If there are stains on the film surface, avoid using chemical solvents. Instead, use a wet towel, water-dampened tissue, or a cloth soaked in detergent. A rubber windshield wiper can also be used for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials or tools that may scratch or damage the film to prevent harm to the solar film. Tinting the windows of motor vehicles does not require registration or filing procedures and can be applied directly without affecting the vehicle's operation or annual inspection. Window tinting effectively enhances driving safety. For vehicle paint film, if the modified area exceeds 30% of the total paint surface, registration procedures are required. If the color-changing film covers less than 30%, no registration is needed. Illegal color modification is considered a violation of the law.

What are the reasons for the car not accelerating when the throttle is applied?

The reasons for the car not accelerating when the throttle is applied are as follows: 1. Clutch issues: If the clutch plate is excessively worn, the friction between the engine flywheel and the clutch plate decreases, causing slippage during operation. When accelerating, the engine's power cannot be fully transmitted through the clutch to the gearbox and wheels, as some of the power is consumed by slippage, resulting in an insignificant increase in speed when the throttle is applied. Another scenario is improper clutch travel adjustment leading to poor acceleration, such as when the clutch has insufficient or no free play, causing it to remain in a semi-engaged state, which also prevents the car from accelerating effectively. 2. Excessive carbon buildup: If there is too much carbon buildup on the engine's fuel injectors, spark plugs, or throttle valve, it affects the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders, making it too lean or too rich. When the combustible mixture does not burn completely, the engine's power output decreases, making it difficult to accelerate. Carbon buildup on the fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel atomization or even cause fuel to drip instead of atomizing. Issues like spark plugs not firing or firing weakly can also occur. All these factors can affect the car's ability to accelerate when the throttle is applied.

Where is the Transmission Fluid Filler Port Located?

Transmission fluid filler port is located on the transmission oil pan. For new vehicles under normal driving conditions using synthetic oil, the oil can typically be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and in some cases, it can even be extended up to 20,000 kilometers. Below is the relevant information: 1. Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates to prolong the life of the transmission components, and provides effective lubrication even under low-temperature conditions, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission fluid is categorized into automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid. 2. Oil Change: Under 'severe driving' conditions, engine wear is more significant, and the requirements for oil are higher. Therefore, it is recommended to shorten the oil change interval to effectively protect the engine. It is usually difficult to determine whether the oil needs to be changed by visual inspection or touch. However, after prolonged use, the oil accumulates a large amount of impurities. If the oil is not changed in time, these impurities will eventually wear down the engine and shorten the vehicle's lifespan.

What are the regulations for using temporary vehicle license plates?

Temporary license plate usage regulations are as follows: 1. Validity period: Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, not exceeding 30 days at most. For new vehicles, it should not exceed 15 days. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for formal license plates from the vehicle management authority within the validity period. After expiration, driving on the road will result in penalties such as vehicle impoundment, a fine of 200 yuan, and 12 points deduction. 2. Regional restrictions: In addition to time limits, temporary license plates also have regional restrictions. If it is a local temporary license plate, it can only be used within the local area. Using a local license plate across regions will also be punished. If you frequently travel long distances or cross regions, it is recommended to use a cross-regional temporary license plate. 3. Placement requirements: Temporary license plates usually come in two pieces, with functions similar to formal license plates. However, the placement positions are different. One temporary license plate should be placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, and the other must be placed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield. They should not be placed randomly.

What does AT tire mean?

AT tires stand for All-Terrain tires. AT is the abbreviation of ALL-TERRAIN, which translates to all-terrain, indicating tires that balance both off-road and on-road performance. All-terrain tires feature a more rugged tread design, with slightly larger gaps between the tread blocks compared to highway tires, resulting in drawbacks such as reduced on-road performance and increased noise. However, AT tires surpass regular tires in durability and traction on unpaved surfaces, making them a balanced choice for both off-road and highway driving. Here is some additional information: 1. Off-road tires: Tires suitable for driving in the wild, typically including highway tires, all-terrain tires, mud tires, etc. 2. Highway tires: Highway tires are referred to as HT. Generally, off-road vehicles come equipped with neutral road pattern tires when leaving the factory, mainly designed for highway driving, characterized by softer sidewalls and finer tread patterns.

How to Determine the Remaining Charge of a Car Battery?

Use a voltmeter with a load to test the remaining charge of the battery. Here is relevant information: 1. Testing accuracy: Checking the battery's remaining charge solely with a voltmeter or the voltage setting of a multimeter without applying a load is difficult to achieve precise results. 2. Related load: When measuring voltage alone, the current consumption is minimal, so there is no significant voltage drop inside the battery, and the displayed voltage does not appear low. However, when applying a substantial load, such as turning on the headlights (load current 10–15A) or honking the horn (load current 6–12A), the battery will cause dim lights or a hoarse horn sound, indicating insufficient charge.
