You don't need to turn on the AC for car air conditioning in winter because what you need is warm air, or heated air. More information about cars is as follows: 1. The warm air is generated by converting the heat from the engine's antifreeze; 2. AC is the air conditioning cooling button. Pressing this button will start the air conditioning compressor, and on some models, the indicator light on the button will illuminate, while others may display a prompt on the central control screen. If you turn off this switch, the car air conditioning can only blow natural air or warm air. During the use of air conditioning in winter, because most vehicles now use automatic air conditioning, you may find that the AC function is automatically turned on after starting the air conditioning. The reason for this situation is: if the driver sets the air outlet direction to the front windshield, the defrosting function will be activated, and the automatic air conditioning system will automatically turn on the AC switch. This is normal because the design is intended to use cold air for the fastest defogging effect.

Can 5-year-old stock new tires be used?

Do not use 5-year-old stock new tires. Here is an introduction about tires: 1. Tire shelf life: Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the date of production, and should not be used for more than 8 years after being installed on a vehicle. Tires are rubber products and will age even if not used. Continuing to use them poses a risk of blowouts. They can be used as emergency spare tires, but when in use, do not exceed 40 mph, avoid sharp turns, and always prioritize safety. 2. Tire replacement cycle: The service life of car tires is four years or 80,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. If there are more than 5 damages, early replacement is required. If there is damage on the sidewall, even just one, replacement is necessary. If you frequently drive on poor road conditions and the tires are severely worn, early replacement is advised.

What does 4.8A car charger mean?

It means outputting 48V voltage with a maximum current of 4.8 amps. Here are relevant details: 1. 4.8A current: This current is too high for devices like mobile phones, tablets, or navigation systems, which may consequently affect the cigarette lighter or even the car battery. 2. During usage: Special attention should be paid when inserting the car charger into the cigarette lighter socket. Ensure the spring contacts on both sides of the charger do not get caught in the notch on the sidewall of the cigarette lighter. They must be kept clear because some cigarette lighters are non-standard, which may cause a short circuit between the positive and negative poles of the charger, burning out the cigarette lighter fuse. After insertion, if there is poor contact, press the charger downward and gently rotate it without excessive movement to avoid the spring contacts getting stuck in the notch.
