You can wash your car immediately after it has been exposed to the sun, but be aware that you should not use cold water to wash a car that has been exposed to prolonged sunlight. Related information: 1. Reason: When the temperature is very high, washing the car with cold water can cause certain damage to the paint surface. In severe cases, it may even lead to paint cracking and affect the metal structure inside the car. Therefore, it is best to choose early morning or evening, or cloudy days for car washing in summer. If you are in a hurry to wash the car, use warm water. 2. Additional information: When there is a significant temperature difference between cold water and the hot car body, directly rinsing the glass with cold water may cause the glass to crack.

Is It Normal for the Car Malfunction Light to Disappear After Ignition?

It is normal for the car malfunction light to disappear after ignition, and the reasons are as follows: 1. After turning on the ignition switch, the vehicle's various system computers will perform a self-check. 2. If no fault is detected in the system after the self-check, the malfunction light for that system will not illuminate after starting the engine. Car malfunction lights can be divided into three types: 1. Indicator type: Used to explain some basic conditions of the vehicle, indicating the current working state of the vehicle, making it easier to understand the various functions and status of the vehicle. (e.g., lighting system indicator, water temperature indicator, fuel level indicator) 2. Prompt type: Used to indicate that the current state of the vehicle is abnormal or the operation is incorrect. (e.g., seat belt reminder light, door open reminder light) 3. Warning type: Indicates that the vehicle has a fault and requires repair. (e.g., engine malfunction light, oil light)

What Causes the Small Dots on Car Window Tinting?

The reasons for small dots on car window tinting are: 1. Poor quality film: The free tinting film provided by 4S shops may not be of good quality. 2. Poor technique: Improper application process by the technician or incorrect temperature control during film heating. 3. Counterfeit products: Over time, small bubbles may appear on the car window tinting. The benefits of car window tinting are as follows: 1. Heat and sun protection: The film can effectively block a large amount of heat generated by infrared rays. 2. UV protection: Medium and long-wave ultraviolet rays can penetrate thick glass, but applying a heat-insulating film can block most UV rays, preventing skin damage and reducing the aging of car interiors. 3. Safety and shatterproof: The base layer of the film is made of polyester, which has excellent tear and puncture resistance. Combined with the adhesive layer, the film enhances the glass's strength, preventing injuries caused by accidental glass breakage to passengers. 4. Creating a private space: By choosing the appropriate type of film, the interior of the car becomes difficult to see from the outside while maintaining clear visibility from the inside, ensuring privacy and safety.

Why is the fuel consumption of Venucia T90 so high?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Venucia T90 are as follows: 1. Poor driving conditions: Driving in areas with poor road conditions will increase fuel consumption. 2. Excessive engine carbon deposits: This leads to high fuel consumption, and it is necessary to check the spark plugs and throttle. Relevant information about car fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Constant speed fuel consumption: This refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since constant speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: This is the fuel economy indicator measured when the car is driving in repeated cycles according to specified speeds and time norms on the road, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the speed and time norms, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and specifies the gear shifting moments, braking and stopping times, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle.
