Sun exposure does affect small cars. Here are the specific impacts of sun exposure on small cars: 1. Damage to the paint: Prolonged exposure can cause the paint color to fade, and in severe cases, lead to blistering or peeling. 2. Damage to the interior and rubber components: Most car interiors are made of plastic, and prolonged sun exposure can cause deformation, poor touch feel, and even release toxic gases. Additionally, the sealing rings on the car body can harden and age, affecting the seal and potentially causing leaks during rainy days. 3. Risk of spontaneous combustion: Cars contain many flammable materials, and gasoline is prone to evaporation. High temperatures from prolonged sun exposure can increase the risk of spontaneous combustion.

Can the Condenser of a Small Car Be Removed and Discarded?

The condenser of a small car cannot be removed. Installation sequence of the condenser: To ensure the condenser dissipates heat effectively, it must be cleaned before installation to guarantee sufficient airflow through the condenser coils. The condenser should be installed correctly, with a gap of at least 15mm between its top and the engine hood. When connecting the wiring, ensure the distance between the connecting wires and the engine body is greater than 50mm, and the distance from the fuel pipe should exceed 100mm. To prevent the temperature-sensing capillary tube on the evaporator from coming loose, it should be clamped tightly before installation, and the sensing tube must not be twisted. Removal sequence of the condenser: Discharge the refrigerant from the refrigeration system; remove the inlet and outlet pipes of the condenser; detach the radiator; use a specialized tool to unscrew the fixing bolts and remove the condenser.

How to Count the Two Right Lanes?

Right two lanes refer to the second and third lanes counting from left to right. Driving in the right two lanes means using either of the two rightmost lanes. Assuming there are three lanes in total, counting from right to left, the third lane (leftmost lane) is marked for left turns only. Once entering this lane, vehicles can only turn left, not proceed straight or turn right. Lanes one and two both allow straight driving. When needing to go straight, navigation software will announce "please take the right two lanes". According to China's Road Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations, on a three-lane highway, the speed limit for the second lane is 100-80 km/h, while the rightmost third lane has a limit of 80-60 km/h. When navigation gives such prompts, it usually indicates the highway exit is approaching, requiring drivers to slow down and prepare to exit. Driving in the right two lanes also makes exiting the highway more convenient.

What are the reasons for no response from the car after jump-starting?

There are two reasons for no response from the car after jump-starting: one is that the battery terminal clamps have come loose, and the other is that the battery is completely drained. The principle of jump-starting a car: It involves using an external device to transfer the stored electricity from another vehicle's battery to the car with a depleted battery, which is then used to start the vehicle. Once the car starts normally, the external device can be removed, allowing the car's charging system to restore the battery's charge. Causes of battery depletion: This usually occurs due to poor usage habits during regular vehicle operation. Specifically, turning on the headlights or ignition switch without first starting the engine can cause the car battery to drain rapidly.

How to Check Engine Oil?

Checking the engine oil level involves fully inserting the oil dipstick into the oil pan, then pulling it out to examine the oil traces on the dipstick. Here's relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: It separates relatively sliding component surfaces to reduce wear; carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air to assist the radiator in cooling the engine. 2. Replacement interval: Engine oil should be changed every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. It serves multiple purposes including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption.
