Adding windshield washer fluid to your car requires dilution. Here are some important considerations when adding windshield washer fluid: 1. Dilution is necessary. Purchased windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual; 2. In summer, it is acceptable to add distilled water or similar products, but be careful not to add liquids with too many impurities, as this may clog the spray nozzles. Additionally, ensure to completely spray out and replace the fluid before winter arrives; 3. Do not overfill. When adding windshield washer fluid yourself, be careful not to overfill. Some foam at the opening does not affect its use; 4. In autumn and winter, the windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze properties.

Why does the car go straight only when the steering wheel is slightly tilted?

The reason why the car goes straight only when the steering wheel is slightly tilted: It may be due to an issue with the adjustment of the car's tie rod angle. If the steering wheel is not tilted too much, it can be fixed by adjusting the tie rod. Here are the specific steps: 1. Shorten the left tie rod: First, prepare a wrench, then turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. Use the wrench to loosen the fastening nut, then rotate the left tie rod clockwise. Clockwise rotation refers to the position of the tie rod relative to the tie rod base; 'screwing in' the left tie rod means shortening it. 2. Lengthen the right tie rod: Repeat the previous steps, turning the steering wheel all the way to the left to expose the rear of the right front wheel. Similarly, use the wrench to loosen the fastening nut, then rotate the right tie rod counterclockwise. 'Screwing out' the right tie rod means lengthening it.

How to Adjust the Car Idle Speed a Bit Higher?

To increase the car idle speed, simply adjust the idle screw on the carburetor. The impacts of raising the car idle speed include: 1. Increased fuel consumption: Higher idle speed tends to increase fuel usage and leads to carbon deposits in the cylinders. 2. Engine damage: The engine operating temperature becomes relatively high, accelerating machine wear. Relevant information about car idle speed is as follows: 1. Car idle speed: It is not a speed but refers to an operating condition. When the engine runs without load, it is called idle speed. During engine operation, if the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine enters idle state. 2. Function: Idle speed overcomes the engine's own operational resistance, maintains the minimum engine rotation speed, and provides a convenient device for drivers to drive under various circumstances and make temporary stops.

What is the correct procedure for starting a car?

Turn the key to "START" to ignite the vehicle. The dashboard indicator lights will briefly illuminate and then turn off as the car's computer enters a self-check state (approximately 6 seconds). Shift into 1st gear, activate the left turn signal, and simultaneously observe both side mirrors and the front view to confirm safety before preparing to move. When you feel slight vibration in the car body, noticeable RPM drop, and forward movement of the front end, this indicates the semi-clutch engagement point is reached - you can now hold the clutch steady. Gradually release the brake, and the vehicle will move forward smoothly. If the speed feels too slow, you can continue releasing the clutch or gently press the accelerator.

Is it acceptable not to display the 2020 inspection compliance sticker?

Currently, the annual inspection sticker must be displayed as there are no relevant policies indicating otherwise. Please note the following points: 1. Penalty for not displaying the sticker: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," the vehicle inspection compliance sticker and insurance sticker should be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. Failing to display these stickers as required is a violation of the law. If the annual inspection sticker is not displayed, the penalty is a 1-point deduction on the driver's license and a fine. 2. Digitalization of inspection stickers: In 2020, electronic inspection labels were widely promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection compliance sticker. Electronic inspection labels hold the same legal validity as the paper version. In provinces and cities where digital inspection stickers have been implemented, displaying the physical inspection compliance sticker is no longer mandatory.

How many kilometers can a car drive when the fuel tank warning light is on?

Generally, when the fuel tank warning light is on, there is approximately 10-12L of fuel remaining in the tank, allowing the car to drive for about 30-50 kilometers. Below are the impacts of low fuel levels: 1. Poor heat dissipation of the fuel pump: It is not recommended to continue driving when the fuel gauge shows empty, mainly to prevent poor heat dissipation of the fuel pump, which could lead to damage and avoid vehicle breakdown. You should refuel as soon as possible after the fuel warning light comes on. It is important to remind everyone to avoid filling the tank completely when refueling; instead, only fill it to 3/4 or 4/5 of the tank's capacity for optimal fuel levels. 2. Damage to the fuel pump: If driving on steep terrain with frequent uphill and downhill sections, fuel consumption will increase, which can also degrade the performance of the fuel pump. Insufficient fuel supply may cause the car to stall and become unable to continue driving, further severely damaging the fuel pump's performance.

How to Solve Abnormal Noise from Car Exhaust Pipe?

The causes and solutions for abnormal noise from car exhaust pipe are as follows: 1. Damaged exhaust pipe: The engine exhaust emits high-temperature and high-pressure waste gas, along with some backfire explosions. In this case, the exhaust pipe needs to be replaced immediately. 2. Engine misfire: The reason why car engines are not as loud as motorcycle engines is that the exhaust processes of each cylinder in a multi-cylinder engine (most car engines are four-cylinder) are interconnected. If one cylinder stops working, the exhaust sequence will be disrupted, causing abnormal noise from the exhaust pipe. In this case, only professional repair personnel can fix the issue.
