Original wiper blades generally last for one year. Strictly speaking, there is no fixed duration. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to replace the wiper blades annually. However, if the wiping performance remains good and the rubber blades show no signs of aging, the replacement interval can be extended. Precautions for using wiper blades: Avoid dry friction of the wiper blades; always spray windshield washer fluid before using them. Clean dust off the windshield before using the wiper blades. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures, as it can cause the rubber to lose elasticity. Maintain a reasonable and steady speed when using the wipers. Steps to replace wiper blades: Lift the metal wiper arm away from the windshield and keep it perpendicular to the windshield in a stable position. Press the tab and remove the old wiper blade, separating it from the metal arm. Insert the new wiper blade and gently rotate it until the hook snaps into place securely. Return the wiper blade to the windshield.

Why Shouldn't You Buy a Salvage Car?

Reasons why salvage cars should not be purchased: 1. Water-damaged salvage cars can cause many components to short-circuit easily, and hidden hazards are difficult to detect; 2. The front and rear longitudinal beams in the engine compartment and under the trunk are structural components that protect the car body during collisions. If these beams have been damaged, even after repairs, the safety performance of the car will be significantly reduced; 3. The A, B, and C pillars of a car are structures that effectively reduce vehicle deformation and protect passenger safety during collisions. If these pillars have been damaged, the car will no longer provide adequate protection; 4. Salvage cars with damaged suspension systems may have uneven tire traction, making the vehicle prone to skidding during turns.

Is the driver's license number the same as the ID card number?

The driver's license number is the same as the ID card number. Here is some relevant knowledge about driver's licenses: Process for replacing a lost driver's license: The applicant should bring their ID card and a copy, the application form for replacing the driver's license, and two small one-inch color photos. Simply go to the vehicle management office, first ask the staff for an application form to replace the driver's license, fill in the contents on the form, then wait for the computer to call your number in order. Submit the application form and the two small one-inch color photos to the officer at the licensing window. The officer will immediately verify the computer records. Once the situation is confirmed, the officer can immediately process the applicant's request. The applicant then goes to the payment window to pay the licensing fee. After that, the officer at the licensing window will issue a temporary license valid for one month to the applicant. One month later, the applicant can return to the licensing window at the vehicle management office to collect the replaced driver's license. There are two points to remind the applicant to note: If the driver's license to be replaced is due for renewal within three months, the renewal procedures should be handled simultaneously; after the replacement license is issued, if the original license is found, the original license should be actively and promptly returned to the issuing authority. Otherwise, it will be considered as holding dual licenses, and the vehicle management department will cancel them according to regulations. International driver's license: An international driver's license is not a driver's license. It is merely a document issued by the official authority of the driver's home country or other authorized agencies, in accordance with the United Nations Road Traffic Convention that the country has joined, in the standard format specified in the convention, and in multiple languages, to certify that the driver holds a valid driver's license from that country. Its main purpose is to help police in other countries understand the driver's name, address, permitted vehicle types, and other necessary information.

What is the correct method for warming up a car?

The correct method for warming up a car is as follows: Take 0 degrees Celsius as the standard temperature, with 60 seconds of idling in place as the standard warm-up time. For every 1 degree Celsius increase or decrease in temperature, the idling warm-up time should be reduced or increased by 1 second. After starting the engine for one minute, you can drive, but avoid driving at high RPM. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000, generally keeping it around 2000 RPM. Otherwise, the severe wear on the engine and transmission will be irreversible. Warming up the car is not just about the engine; the same principle applies to the transmission. The transmission consists of gears immersed in transmission fluid, and the internal temperature of the transmission can only be increased through gear friction and fluid flow. When the transmission is just started, its temperature is low, making it unsuitable for high-torque, high-RPM operation. You can drive slowly for a short distance until the engine and transmission fluid temperatures approach normal levels before engaging in high-torque, high-RPM operation.
