Burnout starts cause significant harm to the car, primarily resulting in substantial wear to the tires and clutch plates, thereby shortening their service life. Below are additional details: 1. So-called burnout starts commonly occur during showboating or due to unskilled driving, representing an incorrect method of starting. 2. Burnout refers to the phenomenon where a rear-wheel-drive vehicle simultaneously presses the brake and accelerator, causing the rear wheels to spin in place (with certain techniques, the front wheels remain stationary while the rear wheels spin). This manifests as smoke due to excessive friction on the tires. Such a starting method greatly damages both the tires and the clutch, so it is advisable to avoid this practice to prevent shortening the car's lifespan.

What to Do When the Paint Protection Film Has a Small Hole?

If the paint protection film is damaged and penetrated, it needs to be addressed promptly, even if it's just a small hole. Leaving it unattended can cause the edges to become unsealed, and the small hole may expand. If the damaged area is very small (less than 4cmx4cm), there's no need to replace the entire film—simply visit a shop for a repair. Here are some common scenarios of film damage: 1. Minor scratches caused during car washing: Many films have a self-healing function for minor scratches. Even without this feature, minor scratches are often unnoticeable unless closely inspected. 2. White spots caused by high-speed stone impacts: These occur when the film's surface coating is damaged and cannot self-repair. However, due to their small size, replacement is not recommended.

Does the vehicle charge the battery when idling?

When the vehicle is idling, it does charge the battery. The engine directly drives the alternator via a belt. Once the engine is running, the electricity generated by the alternator undergoes rectification and voltage stabilization before being directly supplied to the car battery. However, prolonged idling can have several negative effects on the vehicle: 1. Fuel consumption: The vehicle consumes fuel even when idling; 2. Exhaust emissions: Idling increases the amount of exhaust gases in the cylinders, leading to higher emissions; 3. Increased accident risk: Long-term idling can loosen the vehicle's braking system, making it prone to rolling; 4. Risk of damaging the catalytic converter: Extended idling causes excessive engine exhaust, and unburned fuel mixture may ignite at the catalytic converter, potentially damaging it.
