Leaving the car window open in the rain does affect the car. If the wiring gets wet, the window may not be able to move up and down freely, requiring inspection and repair to restore normal function. Below are the steps to handle the situation after the car window is exposed to rain: 1. Remove, clean, and dry: If rainwater seeps into the seats, carpets, or floor mats, they should be removed, cleaned, and dried thoroughly. If any abnormal lighting or other functional issues are noticed while driving, it is advisable to have them inspected promptly. 2. Seek professional repair: It is best to avoid using any electronic devices inside the car to prevent short circuits. Although most electronic components in cars are waterproofed, some may still get wet and cause short circuits. Therefore, after ensuring the moisture is absorbed, test all electronic devices in the car. If any malfunction is detected, take the car to a repair shop for inspection.

What Causes Excessive Wiper Noise?

Reasons for excessive wiper noise: 1. The wiper blade itself may be the issue causing noise. As a rubber product, it can age and harden over time. It's recommended to directly replace with new wiper blades; 2. Foreign objects caught between the wiper blade and windshield may cause abnormal sounds. Owners can inspect and remove any debris from the wiper blades or underneath them to ensure cleanliness; 3. Friction noise from the wiper linkage bushing. With prolonged vehicle use, the wiper linkage mechanism may age, the wiper arm spring elasticity may decrease, and the bushing may wear or even fall off. It's advised to inspect the wiper arm or linkage bushing.

How are engine oil grades classified?

The classification of engine oil grades is as follows: 1. Classification according to SAE viscosity grades: (1) There are 6 types of winter oils, 5 types of summer oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. (2) The 6 types of winter oils are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. 'W' stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before it, the greater the fluidity of the oil and the lower the applicable temperature. (3) The 5 types of summer oils are 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity of the oil, the stronger the high-temperature protection performance, and the higher the applicable temperature environment. (4) The 16 types of all-season oils are 5W20, 5W30, 5W40, 5W50, 10W20, 10W30, 10W40, 10W50, 15W30, 15W40, 15W50, 20W20, 20W30, 20W40, and 20W50. 2. Classification according to API quality grades: (1) API quality grades divide engine oils into the S series and the C series. (2) The S series represents gasoline engine oils; the C series represents diesel engine oils. (3) When labeled with both S and C, it indicates that the oil is suitable for both diesel and gasoline engines. (4) Each series is sorted alphabetically (A, B, C, D, E, F, etc.), with letters further in the alphabet indicating higher grades and better performance.

How to Adjust the Height of Car Seats?

Methods for adjusting the height of car seats: The car seat adjustment switch is located on the side of the seat. Find the height switch among the seat adjustments and adjust it to the appropriate position. Seat adjustment switches can be either manual or automatic, but their functions and principles are the same; only the control method differs. Car seats can be categorized by shape into separate seats and bench seats; by function into fixed, removable, and adjustable seats; and by passenger capacity into single, double, and multi-person seats. Based on their performance, car seats have evolved from early fixed seats to multifunctional power-adjustable seats, including air-cushioned seats, electric seats, stereo sound seats, mental recovery seats, and even electronically adjustable seats.

What is the correct way to use the one-touch start function?

Correct usage of one-touch start: Enter the vehicle with the car key, shift the gear to P (Park) or Neutral, press the brake pedal, and then press the one-touch start button once. Cars equipped with one-touch start functionality do not have a keyhole inside the vehicle, so you cannot insert a key. When you need to start the car, simply carry the key with you, press the brake pedal, and press the one-touch start button—it's very convenient. The one-touch start feature is a component installed in smart cars, designed to simplify the ignition process with a single button, which can also be used to turn off the engine. The one-touch start system can be retrofitted either at the original key lock position or as an independent panel.
