EFB batteries have low self-discharge and a relatively long lifespan. The lifespan of an EFB battery can reach 3 to 5 years. Additionally, EFB batteries utilize new manufacturing processes, significantly improving cold-cranking current compared to conventional batteries. The lifespan of a conventional battery is typically 2 to 3 years. Beyond this period, vehicle owners should pay special attention to battery maintenance and replace it promptly when necessary to avoid affecting vehicle usage. Below is a brief introduction to EFB batteries: 1. EFB batteries are based on traditional battery technology but allow the adjustment of electrolyte concentration by adding distilled water, thereby enhancing deep-cycle performance. 2. EFB batteries exhibit excellent high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for use in engine compartments. They fully meet the requirements of start-stop systems, offering three times the lifespan and performance of conventional batteries at a higher cost-effectiveness, though they are priced more than twice as much as regular batteries. Currently, Japanese manufacturers primarily promote EFB technology.

How long does it take to check provincial traffic violations?

Provincial traffic violations can usually be checked within about a week. Below are specific explanations for querying motor vehicle violation information: 1. When a motor vehicle commits a violation: If penalties are required according to regulations, the public security network generally publishes the violation information within 7 working days. 2. Electronic monitoring police processing: The processing cycle for electronic monitoring by police is approximately 3-5 working days. Whether a motor vehicle is suspected of violating regulations can usually be checked after about a week. If no results are found, it can generally be confirmed that there are no violations. 3. Cross-province/municipality/autonomous region violations: The query time for violations across provinces, municipalities, or autonomous regions may extend to more than 15 working days.

What is the difference between manual-automatic transmission and manual transmission?

The difference between manual-automatic transmission and manual transmission lies in the shifting method: manual-automatic transmission uses an up-push for upshifting and a down-push for downshifting, while manual transmission employs a clutch-based shifting method. Manual-automatic transmission combines both manual and automatic shifting methods, serving as a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. Manual transmission refers to vehicles that use a manual shifting mechanical gearbox to adjust speed, where the gear lever must be manually moved to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve shifting. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed.

What is the appropriate headlight height adjustment level?

Generally, the headlight height should be adjusted to position 0. The adjustment knob is usually located on the left side of the dashboard, near the light control switch. The knob is marked with numbers from 0 to 3, where higher numbers indicate lower beam height. Headlight height adjustment guide: Position 0 is the default horizontal setting, suitable when front seats are occupied and the trunk is empty. Positions 1 to 3 are appropriate when the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Since a vehicle's height isn't fixed and changes with suspension travel when loaded or unloaded, proper headlight adjustment is necessary to maintain driving safety, especially at night, by compensating for changes in vehicle level height.

What to Do When Car Doors Won't Open in Winter?

If car doors are frozen and won't open in winter, you can use a hairdryer to melt the ice on the doors. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions for changing tires: Choose better winter tires for replacement; pay attention to the vehicle's tire pressure; maintain the tire sidewalls and regularly inspect them to ensure they are intact. 2. Winter car usage tips: To prevent doors from freezing in winter, you can inject a small amount of lubricating oil into the door lock cylinder and apply a thin layer of grease around the door seals to prevent freezing. For the braking system, replace brake pads promptly. Among the items for brake system maintenance, regularly checking the brake fluid level is the most important. Check it at least once a month.

Should a section be left uncovered for rearview mirrors when applying window film?

Whether to leave the rearview mirror area uncovered when applying automotive window film depends on the quality of the film. Generally, high-quality films do not require leaving an additional uncovered area because they provide sufficient clarity. However, for inferior quality films, it is recommended not to apply them on the rearview mirrors and corresponding rear windshield. Relevant information about automotive window films is as follows: 1. Introduction: Automotive window film (Auto-tint-film) refers to applying a thin film-like material on the vehicle's front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. This film-like material is also called solar film or heat-insulating film. 2. Functions: The main functions are to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat transmission, prevent injuries caused by glass shattering, reduce glare, and protect personal privacy based on the one-way visibility feature of the solar film.

What is the belt next to the engine?

This is the engine's timing belt, which mainly drives the generator, water pump, and power steering pump. It generally needs to be inspected and replaced at 60,000 kilometers. It should be replaced early rather than late. Other related belts are as follows: 1. Timing belt: Most gasoline vehicles use this type of belt for transmission. It needs to be replaced around 60,000 kilometers. 2. Fan belt: Some vehicles may not have this belt, such as those with only one fan. For example, the older Santana models have a small auxiliary fan belt. 3. Other belts: These include the generator belt, water pump belt, power steering pump belt, and air conditioning belt, typically using one to three V-belts. High-end vehicles may use multi-groove belts, which last longer and are of better quality, but they are more expensive.
