In winter, the warm-up time for a car should be controlled within two minutes, while in summer, 30 seconds to one minute is sufficient. Here is some relevant information: 1. Transporting engine oil: After the vehicle has been parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan, leaving the upper part in a state of insufficient lubrication. Warming up the car transports the oil to the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft components that need lubrication. 2. Vaporizing the oil: When the engine has not reached its operating temperature, the fuel supply system, due to the low temperature, cannot effectively vaporize the gasoline completely. 3. Lubricating gears: When the car is cold, the gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Only when the car is moving does the operation of the gears bring up the gear oil from the bottom to lubricate the upper part.

When to Use High Beams While Driving?

High beams should be used on roads at night without streetlights or with poor lighting. On roads with sparse traffic, when passing corners, curves, or unsignalized intersections, reduce speed and alternately switch between high and low beams as a warning. In other words, as lighting tools, high beams should only be used when there are no streetlights; they must not be used otherwise. Hazards of high beams: 1. Instant blindness: During nighttime encounters with oncoming vehicles, high beams can cause momentary visual impairment for the opposing driver. The duration of this impairment varies depending on the driver's eyesight and surrounding environment, but it typically lasts at least 2 seconds. 2. Reduced perception of speed and distance: Nighttime visibility is poor, and the human eye's ability to judge the speed of oncoming vehicles is already compromised. Under these conditions, the interference from high beams further accelerates the decline in this judgment. 3. Impaired width judgment: The large glare produced by high beams occupies a significant portion of the human eye's visual field, reducing the driver's ability to judge the width of oncoming vehicles and the conditions behind them, potentially leading to incorrect maneuvers.

What is the vehicle green book called?

The green book of a car refers to the motor vehicle registration certificate. Here is relevant information about the motor vehicle registration certificate: 1. Because the cover is green, it is commonly called the green book: The vehicle registration certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership. The motor vehicle registration certificate is a necessary property certificate for the vehicle, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. It is required to be presented when handling any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records the relevant details of the vehicle, equivalent to the vehicle's household registration book. It is printed and issued together when the vehicle is registered and the license plate is obtained. 2. To apply for a replacement motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner should drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office: If the vehicle owner is a natural person applying for a replacement 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate,' they must apply in person and cannot delegate the task to someone else. If the vehicle owner cannot apply in person due to reasons such as death, travel abroad, severe illness or disability, or force majeure, relevant proof must be provided.

Where Are the Brake Pads Installed?

Brake pads are installed inside all four wheels. Cars have disc brakes and drum brakes. The brake pads of disc brakes can be seen from the outside of the wheels, while drum brakes offer better performance; the brake drums inside the wheels are not visible from the outside. Below are some relevant explanations: 1. Principle: The parking brake activates the rear brakes, requiring the function of the brake pads. The parking brake adds a mechanism controlled by a cable to the rear brakes. Some vehicles come with a brake pad warning function—once the wear limit is reached, the dashboard will alert you to replace them. 2. Replacement Requirements: Generally, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. Not only should the remaining thickness be checked, but also the wear condition of the pads, whether both sides are wearing evenly, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormal conditions must be addressed immediately. Do not wait until the friction material is completely worn out before replacing the brake pads.

When is the Best Time to Open a Car Sunroof?

Generally, sunroofs are particularly suitable for use during autumn and winter. During these seasons, car windows are usually kept closed due to colder weather, leading to trapped unpleasant odors inside the vehicle. Opening the sunroof at this time can quickly expel these odors. More details are as follows: 1. The best seasons to open a sunroof: When the weather transitions into late autumn and winter. Ventilation is needed inside the car, but opening the windows feels too cold. Opening the sunroof at this time can quickly remove stale air from the vehicle. 2. Negative pressure ventilation: When driving on highways, if you want to quickly expel air from the car but the external air circulation is insufficient, opening the sunroof can gradually freshen the air. This method utilizes negative pressure ventilation. The principle is simple: when the car is moving at high speed, air rapidly forms a low-pressure zone around the vehicle, while the interior pressure remains higher than outside. Opening the sunroof allows the interior air to be quickly drawn out by the external airflow. 3. Rapid cooling: During the scorching heat of summer, prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the interior temperature to rise rapidly. Many car owners immediately turn on the air conditioner at maximum power to lower the temperature. For cars with a sunroof, utilizing negative pressure to extract hot air while driving is a simple and quick method that can rapidly reduce the interior temperature by 3-5 degrees, achieving both fuel efficiency and effectiveness.

How to Use Service Brake When Parking a Motor Vehicle on a Downhill Section?

When parking a motor vehicle on a downhill road, the service brake should be applied earlier than on a level road. When driving downhill, the vehicle speed gradually increases due to gravity, resulting in a longer braking distance compared to a level road. Therefore, braking should be initiated earlier. Here is some relevant information: 1. Regarding uphill sections: Braking when parking on an uphill section should be delayed compared to a level road. This is because the vehicle speed naturally decreases due to gradient resistance when driving uphill, leading to a shorter braking distance. Thus, braking should be delayed compared to a level road. 2. Regular driving: During normal driving, the service brake (foot brake) is typically used to slow down and stop while moving forward. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (handbrake) should be engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward.
