In summer, turning on the AC switch is definitely necessary when using the car's cold air, otherwise the air conditioning system is just the blower working, delivering air at normal temperature. During hot summers, when the AC button is turned on, the temperature control should be adjusted to the blue position. For automatic air conditioning, a temperature can be set, and then the AUTO button can be pressed, allowing the automatic air conditioning to adjust the interior temperature automatically. Below is some information about car air conditioning AC: 1. The car air conditioning AC is the switch for the compressor, which delivers cold air. The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, etc. The compressor is one of the most important components of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and delivering refrigerant vapor. 2. Generally, you should first turn on the blower, set the air volume to maximum, and start with the external circulation to draw out the hot air inside the car. Then, turn on the AC for cooling. After about two minutes, you can switch to internal circulation, and the car will soon become cool. Once the interior is cool, you can temporarily turn off the AC. If it gets warm again, turn the AC back on. This method of using the air conditioning saves fuel.

How to Deal with Water in Audi Headlights?

For relatively minor cases of water ingress inside the headlight, the fog will dissipate through the vent tube as the heat builds up after the headlights have been on for a while. Disassemble and open the headlight cover, then air-dry it and inspect the surface of the headlight for any damage. If no damage is found, proceed with reassembly. If necessary, remove the headlight cover to check for any damage on the surface. If any abnormalities are detected, it is recommended to replace the headlight rear cover seal and vent tube.

At What Age Can Babies Use Car Safety Seats?

Safety seats are generally designed for children over six months old, under eight years old, and weighing less than 36 kilograms. Therefore, infants can start using safety seats at six months of age. The regulations regarding the age until which children should use safety seats vary by country's traffic laws—some specify by age, while others by the child's weight. The following guidelines can help quickly determine which type of safety seat is suitable for a baby: 1. Weight <9kg: Choose a 0-4 years safety seat (strictly speaking, called an infant carrier). 2. 9kg < weight <15kg, age <8 months: Choose a 0-4 years safety seat (infant carrier). For babies older than 8 months who cannot sit up yet, opt for a 0-4 years safety seat (infant carrier); for those who can sit up, choose a 9 months-12 years safety seat. 3. 15kg < weight <25kg: Select a 9 months-12 years safety seat. 4. 25kg < weight <36kg, height <90cm, or 90cm < height <103cm: Choose a 9 months-12 years safety seat; for height >103cm, select a 3 years-12 years safety seat. 5.
