Black cars tend to get hotter in summer because black absorbs all photon colors. Since sunlight contains not only the seven colors but also infrared heat radiation, black absorbs heat as well, making the car slightly warmer. Here are some tips for using car air conditioning effectively: 1. Ventilate before turning on the AC: After the car has been exposed to the sun for a long time, open all four doors and the sunroof to allow air circulation for 3 minutes. This quickly lowers the interior temperature, making the AC more effective when turned on. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: The recirculation mode blocks outside hot air, creating a sealed space inside the car. This allows the interior air to circulate quickly under the AC's effect, achieving rapid cooling. Once the interior temperature has dropped, it's recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes to purify the air inside, then switch back to recirculation after 5 minutes. 3. Turn off the AC in advance: Shut off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking. This protects the engine and saves fuel.

Why does the Boyue shake when starting cold?

The reasons for the Boyue shaking when starting cold include low temperature, inaccurate air-fuel mixture ratio, severe carbon deposits, and ignition coil failure. Taking the inaccurate air-fuel mixture ratio as an example: it exists in both open-loop and closed-loop control. If the car's computer makes a judgment error, its control over the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing through the actuators will be inaccurate, thereby reducing the car's power output and causing shaking. The Boyue is a model under Geely Auto, with body dimensions of 4519mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1694mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. In terms of appearance, the Boyue's front face design follows Geely's family-style "water ripple" grille. Considering the sense of power of an SUV, the designer reduced the number of grids, making the overall look more concise and the edges more distinct.

How to Determine if the Timing Chain is Stretched?

It is impossible to determine if the timing chain is stretched by yourself, but a 4S dealership can read the crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. If there is an alarm indicating operational delay, it may indicate a potential issue with the timing chain stretching. The timing chain works by connecting the sprockets of components such as the crankshaft and camshaft with a high-strength metal chain, ensuring synchronized operation. Due to the high-speed movement between metal parts, wear is rapid and temperatures are high, necessitating the design of an appropriate lubrication system for cooling and lubrication. Additionally, the use of timing chains in engine design also presents the issue of friction noise between metal parts. To address this, manufacturers must take various measures, such as designing optimized chains.

How to Detect When the Battery is Fully Charged?

Detecting when the battery is fully charged can be determined by the charging time. Typically, a household car battery has a capacity of around 60Ah, and the required charging current is one-tenth of the battery capacity, which is 6A. Charging at this current usually takes about 3 to 5 hours to fully charge the battery. If a lower current is used for charging, it may take around 10 hours to fully charge. A battery, also known as an accumulator, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It mainly consists of lead and its oxides as electrodes, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Types include lead-acid batteries, nickel-iron batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries.

Where to Find the Tire Pressure Markings on Tires?

Tire pressure markings can be found on the sidewall of the tire. These markings typically indicate the maximum load capacity of a single tire and the maximum safe inflation pressure under normal conditions. For example, if the sidewall reads MAX.PRESS.350kPa, it means the maximum safe inflation pressure for the tire under normal conditions is 350kPa. Similarly, MAX.Load615KG indicates the maximum load capacity of a single tire is 615KG. The normal tire pressure range is generally between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, but the standard pressure may vary depending on the vehicle model. Additionally, tire pressure can be influenced by seasonal temperature, driving conditions, and vehicle load.

How Many Times Can a Cross-Province Temporary License Plate Be Applied For?

Cross-province temporary license plates can only be applied for once. Temporary license plates mainly come in two types: temporary license plates for use within an administrative jurisdiction and temporary license plates for use across administrative jurisdictions. Temporary license plates for use within an administrative jurisdiction can be applied for three times, each time valid for 15 days. However, temporary license plates for use across administrative jurisdictions can only be applied for once, with a validity period not exceeding 30 days. Documents required for obtaining a temporary license plate: Identity proof of the vehicle owner and the agent; proof of the vehicle's origin; the whole vehicle factory certificate for domestically produced motor vehicles or the import certificate for imported motor vehicles; and the vehicle identification number (frame number) and engine number rubbing mold. After reviewing the above documents and ensuring they comply with regulations, and after passing the safety and technical performance inspection of the vehicle, the vehicle management office will issue a temporary driving license plate, specifying the validity period and the start and end locations. Notes on vehicle license plates: If the owner chooses to receive the license plate by mail, it will take longer for the license plate to arrive, typically 3-4 days for mailing. Therefore, while waiting for the official license plate, it is important to pay attention to the validity period of the temporary license plate. Once the temporary license plate is about to expire, it is necessary to promptly apply for a replacement.
