It is not advisable to wash a car immediately after it has been in the sun. Car Glass: After prolonged exposure to the sun, the car glass becomes extremely hot. Contact with cold water at this time can cause it to crack or shatter. Car Paint: If the car has been exposed to the sun for a long time, the body temperature will be very high. Washing it with cold water at this time can severely damage the paint, potentially causing it to crack or bubble. Internal Components: The high temperature inside the car meeting the cold water from outside creates a sudden temperature difference, which can lead to cracks in metal components and affect the car's normal operation.

What does 'start' on a car mean?

'Start' on a car refers to the one-button start, also known as the keyless ignition system. It is a button device designed to simplify the ignition process and can also be used to turn off the engine. This device can be retrofitted either at the original key cylinder position or as an independent panel. Its purpose is to provide a mechanical starting method in case the one-button start function fails. Cars equipped with one-button start do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key slot as a backup for situations when the one-button start malfunctions. After starting, when the key is turned to the ON position, the starter circuit is engaged, which drives the engine to run and start. Once released, the key automatically returns to the ON position.
