Essential balm has no effect on car ceramic coating or paint. Below is relevant information: 1. Organic solvents: Essential balm, asphalt cleaner, and gasoline all function as organic solvents. 2. The role of car ceramic coating: It enhances the hardness of the paint surface and forms a strong bond with the paint, effectively reducing scratches and better protecting the paint from external erosion, providing a sealed protective effect. Additional information: The following are harmful to car paint: 1. Water droplets on the car can act like magnifying glasses, focusing sunlight and potentially burning the paint. Thermal expansion and contraction can also damage car components. Avoid washing the car with laundry detergent or dish soap, as laundry detergent is alkaline and highly irritating, while dish soap is designed to remove grease and is not good for paint. 2. High-pressure water jets directed straight at the paint can also be harmful. If you don't have an adjustable pressure washer, you should rinse the car at an angle. When drying the car, choose a clean, soft, and dust-free towel to avoid scratching the paint.

How often should a new car undergo inspection?

According to the relevant regulations for motor vehicles, new vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, only requiring the renewal of the annual inspection sticker every two years. This regulation, implemented since September 2014, has saved new car owners a significant amount of time. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the usage nature of the motor vehicle, the inspection items and scope vary. 2. Inspection Items: As defined by RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for Qualification and Assessment of Inspection Bodies - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions", motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection.

What is the normal pressure for car air conditioning refrigerant?

Under compressor conditions of 1500~2000rpm, the normal high pressure (discharge pressure) is around 1.5~2.0mpa, and the low pressure (suction pressure) is around 0.15~0.35mpa. The specific values depend on different vehicle air conditioning system configurations and ambient temperatures. Here are relevant introductions: 1. Car air conditioning refrigerant: The so-called car air conditioning refrigerant is commonly referred to as Freon, also known as "refrigerant" or "coolant" in the market, which is divided into environmentally friendly types (R134a) and non-environmentally friendly types (mainly F12). 2. Refrigerant pressure gauge: The refrigerant pressure gauge, also called a refrigerant meter or Freon gauge, is used to measure the current pressure of the refrigeration system. It is mainly used to detect the pressure values of the refrigerant at different stages of the system, helping operators understand the operating status of the equipment. Currently, China requires the accuracy of refrigerant pressure gauges to reach grade 2.5.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Haima M5?

The air conditioning filter in the Haima M5 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Locate the air filter slot, open the clip located at the front of the passenger side in the engine compartment and remove it; 2. Reach into the baffle to take out the air conditioning filter. There is an arrow indicator on the outer side of the filter for proper installation. The Haima M5 is positioned as a compact sedan, with body dimensions of 4698mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1477mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of power, the Haima M5 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which is the second-generation product independently developed by Haima, with a maximum power of 92kW and a peak torque of 161Nm.

What are the components of the piston connecting rod assembly?

The piston connecting rod assembly mainly consists of the piston, piston rings, piston pin, connecting rod, and connecting rod bearing shells. Here is a detailed introduction to the piston connecting rod assembly: 1. Working principle: The piston connecting rod assembly converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, while transforming the force acting on the piston into the torque output by the crankshaft, thereby driving the rotation of the vehicle's wheels. 2. Pressure transmission: The piston connecting rod assembly serves as the transmission component of the engine, transferring the pressure of the combustion gases to the crankshaft, causing the crankshaft to rotate and output power. 3. Common faults of the piston connecting rod assembly: Due to oil starvation, issues such as damage to the connecting rod bearing shells, piston cylinder collision, cylinder head collision, connecting rod crankshaft damage, piston ring breakage, and excessive piston clearance may occur.

Do pure electric vehicles require annual inspection?

New energy pure electric vehicles do require annual inspections. Whether it's a pure fuel-powered model, an electric model, or a hybrid model, private passenger vehicles need to undergo on-site testing after six years of use. Non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspections between 6 and 15 years of use, and after 15 years, they need to be inspected every 6 months. Therefore, new energy pure electric vehicles also require annual inspections, although the inspection content differs. Annual inspection time regulations: The first annual inspection for passenger cars is conducted when they reach six years of use. Non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles, including family cars over 6 years but under 10 years old, require biennial inspections. For vehicles exactly six years old, the annual inspection requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station with the owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. After passing the inspection, a certificate will be issued, which, along with the other documents, must be presented at the relevant window to obtain the annual inspection sticker.

What does the D gear plus and minus mean?

D gear plus and minus mean The "+" and "-" signs next to the D gear are unique functions of manual-automatic transmission models, which are used for upshifting or downshifting in the manual mode of the transmission. The manual mode is often marked as M gear or S gear. Many people drive manual-automatic transmission cars in D gear all the time, not knowing when to switch to M gear, thinking that they have to wait until the car stops to switch. In fact, it is not necessary, and you can switch from D gear to M gear at any time. The following is an introduction to the S gear: 1. Introduction: It keeps the engine at high speed for a long time, allowing the car to move at high speed in low gear for a long time, thereby obtaining greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Precautions: Because the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working links, it will inevitably increase the load of the transmission in a short time, and the temperature will also rise accordingly, and the wear will also increase. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for a long time.
