The dash cam will stop working when the car is parked, but a small number of dash cams will continue to operate. Here is relevant information: 1. Whether it works depends on which vehicle wire the dash cam is connected to. Some factory-installed dash cams are connected to constant power, in which case they won't automatically turn off and can record 24/7. If connected to ACC, it will automatically shut off when the engine is turned off. 2. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. After installation, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. For those who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to document the process of overcoming difficult and dangerous roads.

Can You Still Drive When the Vehicle's Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

You should not drive when the vehicle's tire pressure warning light comes on. The reasons for the warning light include: 1. A punctured tire; 2. Excessive tire pressure; 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long; 4. Faulty tire pressure sensor; 5. Low tire pressure due to prolonged lack of inflation. The methods to address the tire pressure warning light are: 1. Immediately reduce speed and avoid sharp steering and sudden braking; 2. Turn off the engine, wait for 2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure value displayed on the dashboard; 3. Observe the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard while inflating or deflating the tires. Stop inflating when the warning light turns off, and release excess air if overinflated; 4. If the tire pressure warning light still does not turn off after adjustment, manually reset the tire pressure by pressing the 'set' button on the vehicle's central control dashboard.

What Happens When a Car Runs Out of Engine Oil?

Effects of running out of engine oil on a car: Due to excessive oil participating in combustion, the possibility of incomplete combustion in the combustion chamber increases, making it easier to form carbon deposits and causing emissions to exceed standards. At the same time, it can trigger various car problems, affecting the engine's power, noise, fuel consumption, and other aspects. Below are the related effects of running out of engine oil on a car: 1. During driving, symptoms such as unstable idling and lack of acceleration power may occur. It can also accelerate the damage of the oxygen sensor and cause blockage in the three-way catalytic converter, which may lead to long-term damage to the catalytic converter. 2. Carbon deposits caused by burning oil can accumulate in the piston ring grooves. Over time, this can cause the piston rings to seize, losing their oil-scraping function and increasing the likelihood of oil entering the combustion chamber. Additionally, seized piston rings may accelerate wear between the piston and cylinder wall, leading to poor piston sealing and setting the stage for oil burning. In the long run, this will inevitably result in cylinder scoring and engine failure.

What Are the Hazards of Not Straightening the Steering Wheel When Parking?

The hazards of not straightening the steering wheel when parking are as follows: 1. Damage to the steering system: Over time, it can accelerate the aging and deformation of certain components, leading to vehicle deviation. 2. Damage to the tires: It can accelerate the aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls, potentially causing air leakage or tire blowouts in the long run. 3. Harm to the suspension system: When the steering wheel is not straightened, many vehicle models will have wheels at an angle, causing the suspension system to tilt in one direction. This creates stress on components such as the elastic struts, rubber seals, and rubber shock absorbers within the suspension system, preventing them from returning to their normal positions. This leads to aging of the shock-absorbing rubber in the suspension system, and increased play at the connection points of the suspension's control arms and links. The greater the play, the more severe the wear, creating a vicious cycle.

What is the Function of Automotive Primer?

Automotive primer serves to prevent metal surface oxidation that leads to corrosion, while also enhancing adhesion between the metal surface and intermediate coatings, topcoats, putty, etc. Primer, also known as base coat paint, can generally be applied directly onto the object's surface or putty surface. Below is relevant information about automotive primer: 1. Automotive primer refers to the first layer of coating directly applied onto the surface-treated auto parts, marking the beginning of the entire coating system. It is designed to have excellent adhesion with the substrate, good compatibility with intermediate or topcoats applied above, and must possess outstanding anti-corrosion, anti-rust, oil resistance, chemical resistance, and water resistance properties. 2. With the rapid development of the automotive industry, requirements for automotive primers have become increasingly stringent. Higher-end vehicles, especially passenger cars, typically use cathodic electrodeposition primers. After over 20 years of development and the introduction of advanced technologies and processes, cathodic electrodeposition primers can now fully meet all required mechanical properties, coating compatibility (particularly with modern assembly-line painting processes), and have become nearly universally adopted for passenger car primers.

Where is the car bumper located?

Location of car bumpers: The bumper at the front of the car is called the front bumper, and the one at the rear is called the rear bumper. Car bumpers are a type of body accessory and are considered wear-prone parts. Bumpers are installed at both the front and rear ends of the car, not only for decorative purposes but more importantly as safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the car body and ensuring the safety of passengers. Below is an introduction to the structural composition of car bumpers: 1. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled steel sheets about 1.5 mm thick into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, which is connected to the frame longitudinal beams with screws, allowing for easy removal. 2. The plastics used for plastic bumpers mainly include polyester-based and polypropylene-based materials, manufactured through injection molding. For example, the bumper of the Peugeot 405 sedan uses polyester-based material and is made by reaction injection molding.
