It mainly depends on the frequency of using the windshield washer fluid. Generally, a full tank can last for about 3 months. Windshield Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid should have protective properties for both the windshield and wiper blades, providing care and protection for the vehicle during normal use. Some branded windshield washer fluids are formulated with various surfactants and additives, uniquely capable of repairing minor scratches on the windshield surface by forming a protective film, ensuring comprehensive care for the windshield. Specially added corrosion inhibitors ensure no corrosive effects on any metals, protecting the car's paint, wiper blades, and rubber components. Precautions: The duration of windshield washer fluid in a new car primarily depends on usage frequency. Refill as needed, as there is no fixed refill cycle. Never use tap water. Minerals in tap water can clog the windshield washer fluid lines. If the air temperature drops below freezing, use a windshield washer fluid with sufficient antifreeze components. Avoid operating the windshield washer continuously for several seconds or when the fluid reservoir is empty, as this can cause the washer motor to overheat, leading to costly repairs.

What to Do When the Other Party at Fault in a Rear-End Collision Keeps Delaying the Process?

Introduction to Claiming Compensation When Your Vehicle is Rear-Ended and the Other Party is Fully at Fault: If your vehicle is rear-ended and the other party is fully at fault, you can directly claim compensation from the other party's insurance company using the accident liability determination certificate issued by the traffic police, along with the repair cost invoices and receipts for the vehicle damage. The compensation covers property losses under compulsory traffic insurance. If both parties cannot reach an agreement on compensation, you can directly sue the other party and their insurance company. Below is the legal basis: Article 15 of the "Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Road Traffic Accident Compensation Cases": (1) Expenses incurred for repairing the damaged vehicle, loss of items carried in the vehicle, and vehicle rescue fees; (2) If the vehicle is destroyed or cannot be repaired, the replacement cost for a vehicle of equivalent value at the time of the accident; (3) For vehicles legally engaged in commercial activities such as goods or passenger transportation, the reasonable loss of operating income due to inability to conduct corresponding business activities; (4) For non-commercial vehicles, the reasonable cost of alternative transportation due to inability to continue using the vehicle.

How to Clean Water Under the Driver's Floor Mat?

The first step when finding water under the driver's floor mat is to identify the source of the water accumulation. After addressing the issue, immediately use a cotton cloth to soak up the water, then clean and dry the floor mat. Be sure to thoroughly dry the mat's suede surface, as it can easily develop mold, leading to unpleasant odors, bacterial growth, and even damage to vehicle components and electrical circuits. Upon discovering water under the driver's floor mat, it's crucial to check other areas for potential water accumulation. If water is found under the passenger seat or rear seats, depending on the severity of the water ingress, remove seats, floor mats, carpets, and other components to eliminate moisture. Dry the carpets and floor mats thoroughly. Replace any damaged control units, and ensure all affected electrical wiring is properly cleaned to remove moisture and humidity. Replace any components that require replacement. Common causes of water leakage in vehicles include: leaks in the sunroof itself due to poor sealing; clogged or detached sunroof drainage holes preventing water from draining outside the vehicle; water entering the cabin when driving through deep water; and poor body sealing.

What is the difference between an L3 engine and an L4 engine?

The difference between an L3 engine and an L4 engine lies in the number of cylinders: the L3 is a three-cylinder engine, which has a simple structure, small size, and light weight; the L4 is a four-cylinder engine with a relatively more complex structure. The 'L' stands for inline, and the number following it indicates the engine code. Currently, the main types of engines used in automobiles are L3, L4, L5, and L6. An inline engine is one where all cylinders are arranged side by side in a single plane. It features a simple cylinder block and crankshaft structure, uses a single cylinder head, and offers high stability, good low-speed torque characteristics, low fuel consumption, compact internal dimensions, and wide applicability. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. The term 'engine' can refer to either the power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit.

What is the fuel consumption of the fourth-generation Fit?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Fit is 5.2-5.6L/100km. There are currently 6 models of the Fit on sale. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trend Start version is 5.2L/100km. The Trend Enjoy version and Trend Run version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The Trend Max version, Trend version, and Trend Run Pro version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.5-8.1L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and accelerate slowly. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this will multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: When driving, press the accelerator lightly, try to avoid sudden increases in engine speed, and prevent the car from shaking during driving, making the car more fuel-efficient. By estimating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in the metric system relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or inspection of the vehicle: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause poor ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases); regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body according to mileage. Close the windows when driving. Driving with the windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the greater the resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.
