Car paint takes 48 hours to fully dry. Here is some extended information: Washing time: If the vehicle is painted in a paint booth, since it has already stayed in the booth for 3-4 hours, it can be washed immediately after being taken out. For vehicles painted at official 4S shops, they can be washed when the staff delivers the car, as the vehicle has undergone a proper painting process. Just remind the car wash staff to be careful. Car painting precautions: If spraying a single door panel with overly large orange peel texture, you can add blending solvent to the clear coat. The ratio is 50 parts of mixed clear coat to 100 parts of blending solvent, then spray it on. Be careful not to press the spray gun too hard to avoid sagging; just spray evenly for a glossy finish.

What are the penalties for occupying charging station parking spaces?

Occupying charging station parking spaces will result in fines. There are relevant national regulations stipulating that newly built residential areas and office buildings must be equipped with sufficient charging parking spaces or reserve installation conditions. For example, in Beijing, according to related media reports, it was previously stipulated that 100% of parking spaces in new residential areas must meet the conditions for installing charging stations, at least 25% must be configured in office buildings, and the proportion of public charging facilities in public parking lots in each district should not be less than 10% of the parking spaces. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: However, in actual implementation, many regions across the country still face issues where property management does not cooperate, making it impossible to install charging parking spaces, or car owners do not have fixed parking spaces and thus cannot install private charging stations. According to statistics, as of September 2019, there were over 313,400 new energy vehicles without accompanying charging stations, meaning these car owners need to use public charging stations. However, many charging parking spaces are long occupied by fuel vehicles. Note 2: If the fine regulations proposed by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport and the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau are implemented, it means Beijing will have specific penalty bases and clear fine amounts for non-electric vehicles occupying electric vehicle parking spaces. Other provinces and cities will also gradually introduce corresponding management measures. This will undoubtedly have an immediate effect on the nationwide phenomenon of non-electric vehicles occupying dedicated electric vehicle parking spaces in parking lots and on-street parking, preventing the latter from parking and charging.

Is the Consequences of Mixing Engine Oil and Hydraulic Oil Serious?

Engine oil and hydraulic oil cannot be mixed because their viscosities are different, and mixing them can have serious consequences. Mixing engine oil and hydraulic oil will alter the viscosity and viscosity-temperature properties of the hydraulic oil, thereby affecting its performance. It can clog filters, prevent oil pressure from rising, and accelerate the aging of oil seals and rubber sealing rings in the hydraulic system. Engine oil is specifically designed for gasoline and diesel engines based on engine requirements, demanding high detergency and dispersancy among other performance characteristics. It contains several functional additives, including detergents and dispersants. Hydraulic oil is primarily used in various hydraulic systems. Its viscosity grade is determined by the operating conditions of the hydraulic system, and it contains additives such as anti-oxidants, rust inhibitors, and anti-wear agents, which are entirely different from those in engine oils. Typically, hydraulic oil lacks detergency and dispersancy, making it unsuitable for use as engine oil. However, to simplify the variety of oils used on-site, there are rare cases where engine oil (with suitable viscosity) is used as hydraulic oil. Yet, its performance indicators, such as emulsification and hydrolytic stability, do not meet the specifications required for hydraulic oil. Therefore, in underground, aquatic, or humid environments, engine oil must never be used as a substitute for hydraulic oil.

What are the rules for reducing penalty points through traffic law study?

According to Article 5 of the Notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security on January 14, 2020 (Gongjiao Guan [2020] No. 14), titled 'Regulations on Reducing Traffic Violation Points Through Traffic Safety Education (Trial)': Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce traffic violation points must attend corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge study sessions or exams, or participate in traffic safety public welfare activities based on their highest permitted vehicle type and meet relevant requirements to apply for point reduction. The point reduction through study is a measure for licensed drivers who have been penalized for traffic violations. After completing online traffic safety study and passing the exam, their penalty points can be reduced. This initiative is a public convenience measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Specific considerations are as follows: Applicable Individuals: Motor vehicle drivers holding a People's Republic of China motor vehicle driver's license, regardless of the vehicle type permitted by the license or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in the point reduction program. They must attend study sessions or exams on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge according to their highest permitted vehicle type. Specific Rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic law and regulation study must complete a continuous 5-minute study session each time. Within 3 days, the cumulative study time must reach 30 minutes. Then, within 7 days, they can register for the exam. Upon passing the exam, 1 penalty point can be reduced. Drivers can also attend on-site study sessions, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, they can apply for the exam. Passing the exam will reduce 2 penalty points. Non-eligible Cases: The following situations will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more instances of full-point penalties. Within a 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the fabrication or alteration of documents or license plates. The motor vehicle driver's license is in the probationary period or has not been reviewed on time. The driver has unresolved traffic violation records under their name. The driver has a motor vehicle under their name that has not passed the safety technical inspection on time or has not been deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 penalty points in the current cycle.

Does 'S' indicate provincial highways?

Provincial highway numbering adopts two to three digits (most provinces and cities use three digits), uniformly numbered at the provincial (municipal) level, represented by the letter 'S', where 'S' is the initial letter of the Chinese pinyin for 'province'. Since numbering is done by province or city, every province has an S101. In China, the numbering of roads at various levels is as follows: 1. Expressway numbering: Expressway numbering uses one to two digits, uniformly numbered nationwide, represented by the letter 'G', where 'G' is the initial letter of the Chinese pinyin for 'national-level roads' (expressways fall under the category of national highways). 2. National highway numbering: National highway numbering uses three digits, uniformly numbered nationwide, represented by the letter 'G', where 'G' is the initial letter of the Chinese pinyin for 'national-level roads'. 3. Provincial highway numbering: Provincial highway numbering adopts two to three digits (most provinces and cities use three digits), uniformly numbered at the provincial (municipal) level, represented by the letter 'S', where 'S' is the initial letter of the Chinese pinyin for 'province'. Since numbering is done by province or city, every province has an S101. 4. County road numbering: County road numbering adopts two to three digits (most counties and districts use three digits), uniformly numbered at the county (district) level, represented by the letter 'X', where 'X' is the initial letter of the Chinese pinyin for 'county'.

How to align the timing chain on Hyundai ix35?

Here is the relevant introduction on aligning the timing chain for the Hyundai ix35: When the piston reaches the highest position, it marks the timing point below. The mark above requires opening the valve cover, and the timing is correct when both camshafts are parallel. The main function of the engine timing belt is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. Notes: 1. The interior of the Hyundai ix35 retains the rugged style consistent with its exterior. The cabin features almost no smooth curves, instead utilizing various horizontal and vertical designs. The dashboard is primarily made of hard plastic but includes textured and faux-stitching treatments to avoid an overly cheap feel. 2. In addition to the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, the Hyundai ix35 also offers a newly added 1.4T turbocharged engine. The 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 118kW (160PS) and a peak torque of 193N·m, while the 1.4T turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 103kW (140PS) and a peak torque of 242N·m. In terms of transmission, the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, whereas the 1.4T turbocharged engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
