Why does the dash cam not turn off after the engine is shut down?

The reason why the dash cam does not turn off after the engine is shut down is that the dash cam itself has a built-in battery, allowing it to continue working even after parking. The function of the dash cam: A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. Classification of dash cams: Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable travel recorders and aftermarket integrated DVD travel recorders.

Can Dashboard Wax Be Used as a Window Lubricant?

Dashboard wax is a maintenance product for car interiors and is not recommended for use on windows. Spraying it on windows can increase reflectivity, potentially affecting the driver's visibility. Also known as instrument wax, dashboard wax offers certain benefits such as stain removal, anti-static properties, anti-aging effects, and enhancing brightness. It is suitable for car dashboards, panels, bumpers, tires, seats, as well as leather shoes, bags, plastic products, and wooden items. How to use dashboard wax: First, wipe the area to be cleaned with a damp towel. Spray the dashboard wax from about 20cm away, then spread it evenly with a towel. If polishing is needed, allow the wax to sit for a longer time. Precautions when using dashboard wax: After spraying, ensure it is wiped off thoroughly to avoid corrosion on leather surfaces inside the car. Due to its lubricating properties, avoid applying it on the steering wheel to prevent slipping and potential safety hazards. Dashboard wax is flammable and should not be applied to high-temperature car parts like the engine.

What does L4 represent?

L4 refers to a standard inline 4-cylinder engine, which is used in the vast majority of small-displacement vehicles. Energy Conversion: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Device: An engine can refer to either a power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of an engine originates from English, with its original meaning referring to a "mechanical device that generates power."

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection?

There are two regulations to determine whether a U-turn is allowed at an intersection: if the intersection has a no U-turn sign or no left turn sign or markings, U-turns are not allowed; if the intersection does not have no U-turn or no left turn signs or markings, U-turns are allowed, but they must not be made at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or any sections where danger is likely to occur. The following situations allow U-turns: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: When there is a U-turn traffic light at the intersection, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn indicator is green; when there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no no U-turn signs are set): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are allowed and no no U-turn signs or markings are set. It should be noted that vehicles must proceed according to the left turn lane traffic light without affecting the normal driving of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left turn waiting area, you can first enter the left turn waiting area when the straight light is green and wait until the left turn light turns green to make the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white dashed line or a yellow dashed line, U-turns are allowed. If it is a double yellow line with one solid and one dashed, check whether your side is the dashed line. If it is the dashed line, a U-turn can be made while ensuring safety; if it is the solid line, U-turns are not allowed.

There are several reasons why the interior door handle cannot open the car door: the central locking system is not unlocked, the child lock on a particular door is engaged, the linkage rod of the interior handle has fallen off, the lock mechanism is damaged, or the master door switch is not activated. Central locking system not unlocked: Press the central locking switch on the master control panel to unlock the system. Child lock on a particular door is engaged: Open the door from the outside, observe the side of the door, locate the child lock, and toggle the switch to disengage it. Linkage rod of the interior handle has fallen off: Reattach it to restore normal function. Lock mechanism is damaged: If this issue occurs, opening the door will be very difficult or impossible. The solution is to replace the door latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Master door switch is not activated: For safety reasons, car doors automatically lock while driving.
