In winter, there is no need to turn on the AC when using the car air conditioning, but in summer, the AC should be turned on when using the car air conditioning. The AC button is the cooling switch of the car air conditioning. If the AC button is not pressed, the car air conditioning will not cool. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air in the compartment, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing the driver's fatigue, and improving driving safety. The cooling principle of the air conditioning is: 1. After pressing the AC button, the clutch of the air conditioning compressor can engage, and the engine will drive the compressor to run. When the compressor is running, it can continuously compress the refrigerant and deliver it to the evaporator. The refrigerant expands and absorbs heat in the evaporator. 2. The refrigerant can cool the evaporator, and the cooled evaporator can cool the air blown by the blower, so that the air conditioning vents can blow cold air. In winter, there is no need to turn on the AC because the car's heating is achieved by the heat generated by the car's own engine to produce warm air. The following introduces the normal method of turning on the heating in the car: 1. In winter, when the engine has just started, the temperature of the water tank is still very low. Turning on the air conditioning will not quickly increase the temperature inside the car but will increase the burden on the engine and delay the normal increase of the engine temperature. 2. After the car starts, it takes about 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to rise to the normal temperature. Generally, when the water temperature rises to about 70°C, the heating can be turned on. 3. Turning on the car heating does not require turning on the AC switch because it will start the compressor, which means turning on the cooling.

What can be connected to OBD?

OBD interface itself is not designed for external connections. External devices may affect the vehicle itself through the OBD interface due to their own malfunctions or issues. OBD is a diagnostic system extended for vehicle fault detection, primarily to monitor the engine status and exhaust conditions. In its early stages, OBD could only report faults via indicator lights. Later, OBD became capable of reporting various real-time data and standardized fault codes, revolutionizing automotive fault diagnosis and repair methods. OBD devices monitor multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensors, emission control systems, fuel system, EGR, etc.

Is it common to replace only the front two tires for a sedan?

It is recommended to replace both tires together, ensuring the tread patterns match on both sides. Tire specifications and models: Tires are critical components of a vehicle, and they come in various specifications and models, each suited for different vehicle types. The specifications are typically marked on the tire sidewall as a series of alphanumeric characters, indicating the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. Speed rating: Tire speed ratings are categorized from A to Z based on the maximum speed they can sustain, with the A rating further divided into eight sub-levels (A1-A8). A letter closer to the end of the alphabet indicates better tire performance.
