The dash cam can continue recording after the car is turned off. The parking monitoring function primarily relies on the dash cam automatically starting to record when it detects vibrations. This functionality is achieved through a built-in high-sensitivity gravity sensor. Operating time of the dash cam: If the dash cam is wired to a constant power source during installation, providing 24-hour power supply, and if the parking monitoring, time-lapse recording, or motion detection features are enabled on the dash cam, then after the car is turned off, the dash cam will start recording upon detecting vibrations and automatically save the video without overwriting it. If there is movement within the range of the dash cam's camera, the motion detection feature will activate and automatically start recording. With time-lapse recording enabled, the dash cam can continue recording around the clock even after the vehicle is turned off. Important notes: Even though the dash cam can record after the car is turned off, it's important to be aware that dash cams have blind spots. Single-lens dash cams can only capture the front view, dual-lens dash cams can capture the front and rear, and 360-degree panoramic dash cams can capture all angles. For safety considerations, it is recommended to park the vehicle in an area with surveillance cameras.

Which one is the air recirculation mode, a or m?

Both a and m represent air recirculation modes, where m stands for manual air recirculation and a for automatic air recirculation. If the air quality outside the vehicle is poor with severe pollution, the a mode will automatically select air recirculation. Choosing between air recirculation and fresh air mode: Consider road conditions: On highways, it's advisable to use the fresh air mode. Firstly, due to wind resistance and high speed, opening windows is not suitable. Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to brain hypoxia, impairing reaction and judgment, which is highly dangerous. Secondly, the air quality on highways is generally good with low exhaust concentration, making fresh air mode a suitable choice. In urban areas, especially during congested traffic or peak hours when vehicle exhaust concentration is high, it's best to switch to air recirculation. Consider vehicle condition: New cars typically contain higher concentrations of toxic gases like formaldehyde. Therefore, for the first three to six months after purchasing a new car, it's recommended to use the fresh air mode along with opening windows to enhance air circulation and dilute the concentration of toxic gases inside the car. Function of fresh air mode: The fresh air mode ventilates the car interior, expelling stale, oxygen-depleted air and bringing in fresh air. In winter, if the heater is on, remember to switch to fresh air mode to avoid dizziness and chest tightness. Function of air recirculation mode: Air recirculation helps maintain a constant temperature inside the car. In winter, it keeps the interior warm, and in summer, it retains the cool air. However, prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to an increase in carbon dioxide exhaled by passengers, resulting in stale air. Therefore, it's good practice to switch to fresh air mode every hour to refresh the air. Air recirculation prevents the entry of external pollutants. Activating air recirculation closes the airflow channel, stopping external air from entering. When the fan is off, there's no airflow, and when it's on, it circulates the air inside the car. This effectively blocks external pollutants from entering the vehicle. For instance, during sandstorms, smog, congested roads, or construction zones, air recirculation should be activated to prevent pollutants from entering the car.

What are the benefits of applying film to a car's front windshield?

The benefits of applying film to a car's front windshield include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat, preventing injuries from shattered glass, and minimizing glare. Additionally, it helps protect interior items and occupants from UV damage and lowers the cabin temperature through physical reflection. Car window film is a thin layer applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof, also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. According to regulations, the front windshield's light transmittance must exceed 70% to ensure driving safety.

What does portal axle chassis mean?

Portal axle chassis is a type of axle chassis, which is only used in hardcore off-road vehicles. The front and rear suspensions of hardcore off-road vehicles are solid axles, not independent suspensions. The axle of a solid axle suspension is a complete shaft, unlike independent suspensions where the middle is disconnected. Solid axle suspensions offer poor comfort but strong off-road capability. In addition to solid axle suspensions, hardcore off-road vehicles also use body-on-frame construction, which completely separates the body shell from the chassis. Body-on-frame construction provides better torsional resistance and can handle more extreme road conditions.

What Needs to Be Done During the First Car Maintenance?

During the first car maintenance, the following tasks should be performed: 1. Oil change: Due to insufficient wear-in between various components during the break-in period, debris can easily mix with the oil, leading to impurities that reduce lubrication effectiveness, necessitating an oil change during the first maintenance; 2. Replace the three filters: The three filters in a car include the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter, which provide a clean environment for the engine's operation and prevent contaminants from entering the engine; 3. Check if the coolant level meets the specified requirements: Car coolant not only cools the engine but also prevents freezing during winter use.

Does Idling Consume Fuel?

Car consumes fuel when idling. Below is relevant information about car idling: 1. Function: Idling overcomes the engine's own operating resistance, maintains the minimum engine speed, and provides convenience for drivers to drive and temporarily park under various conditions. 2. Definition: When the engine runs without load, it is called idling. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idling state. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by changing the throttle opening size, etc. Generally speaking, the optimal idle speed is the lowest speed at which the engine does not shake.
