Turning off the engine without turning off the air conditioning does affect the car, as it increases the load on the motor, damages the engine, and promotes bacterial growth. Here are some additional details: Components of the air conditioning system: Compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipelines, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The functions of the air conditioning system are: Adjusting the interior temperature, filtering the air entering the cabin; absorbing moisture from the air; maintaining clean air to prevent bacterial growth. Air conditioning maintenance methods: Timely addition of refrigerant; regular replacement of filters; using ozone for sterilization.

Do you need to watch the traffic light when making a U-turn at an intersection?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the traffic light and does not require crossing the crosswalk. You can make a direct U-turn as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn requires crossing the crosswalk and is affected by the traffic light. If you need to cross the crosswalk to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: When pedestrians are walking on the right side of the crosswalk and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the road, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. If pedestrians cross the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles must stop; otherwise, it is a violation and subject to penalties. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road but have not entered the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; otherwise, it is a violation and subject to penalties. If pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; otherwise, it is a violation and subject to penalties. If the road is divided by a green belt and pedestrians are waiting in the middle of the road, vehicles must slow down and allow them to pass safely. Cases where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn only if it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. 'No explicit prohibition' means there are no signs like 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn,' and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines. Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion, entrances of important facilities, etc. Stopping on these lines (even for traffic lights) is a violation. However, U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines unless there is a center divider. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions—only make a U-turn when the light is green. If 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn Allowed' signs appear together, U-turns are allowed but left turns are prohibited. Note that 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn.' Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign, even if there is no 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns require a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. If you interfere with their movement, you will bear full responsibility for any accident. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit 'No U-turn' signs.

What Causes Car Jerking at Low Speed but Normal at High Speed?

Car jerking at low speed but normal at high speed indicates a malfunction. Here are three possible causes: 1. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle body, fuel injectors, or intake manifold: Many malfunctions are caused by carbon deposits, and some vehicles may experience jerking due to this issue. It is recommended to regularly clean carbon deposits. 2. Poor fuel quality: Incomplete combustion. 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils: This can lead to misfiring. These issues require inspection and repair at a service center to prevent further safety hazards.

Why Does the Car Make a Piercing Noise When the Air Conditioner is Turned On?

Possible reasons for the piercing noise when turning on the air conditioner: The car's air conditioner belt may be too loose, causing it to slip, or there may be a fault with the compressor, or foreign objects in the blower and ventilation ducts. Here are the related details: How to deal with the squeaking noise when turning on the air conditioner: If the air conditioner pulley and belt are slipping, a sharp friction sound will be produced during the slipping process. Check if there is oil on the belt. If oil is causing the belt to slip, clean it thoroughly. If not, you need to adjust the compressor's position bolts to tighten the belt, thereby increasing friction.

Where is the Buick Regal Fuel Filter Located?

The fuel filter of the Buick Regal is integrated with the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. Below is a detailed introduction about the Buick Regal fuel filter: 1. When replacing the fuel filter, it is necessary to remove the fuel pump: The fuel pump and filter must be disassembled for replacement. The fuel filter plays a crucial role, so it should be inspected and replaced timely during car maintenance to ensure the engine operates in a good environment. 2. The fuel filter, abbreviated as 'fuel filter', is used to filter impurities in gasoline: Impurities exist in gasoline, and if they enter the cylinder directly without filtration, they can affect the engine's lifespan and even clog the fuel supply lines. Therefore, the fuel filter is essential to perform its function.
