Which part of the car is the fender?

Located on the outer body of the wheel, specifically the semicircular area directly above the tire. Below is relevant information: 1. Weak fender structure: If the fender develops cracks, it's likely due to being too thin, making it unable to withstand the twisting deformation of the beam head. In this case, reinforcing the fender with a "steel mesh" welding method is recommended. This not only maintains the original deformation capacity but also enhances the overall toughness of the fender. Avoid using steel plates for reinforcement as it may easily affect the fender's twisting deformation capacity. 2. Lower limit dimensions not meeting requirements: When the lower limit dimensions (which ensure maximum clearance for tire rotation and bouncing) are too small, the tire may frequently hit the fender when driving on bumpy roads, leading to cracks over time. Simply increasing the lower arm limit can prevent direct contact between the tire and fender.

Should a Triangle Be Left When Applying Car Window Tint?

There is no requirement to leave a triangular area when applying car window tint. Here is more relevant information: 1. Regulations on car window tinting; The Public Security Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China "GA/T-744—2013 Automotive Window Glass Sunshade Film" clearly stipulates that for the front windshield and the area used by the driver to observe the rearview mirror, Class I sunshade film should be applied, and the visible light transmittance should be greater than 70%. 2. Relevant national regulations: In the "Global Technical Regulation on Safety Glazing Materials for Road Vehicles" and the national standard GB9656 "Safety Glazing Materials for Road Vehicles," the same requirements are also proposed regarding visible light transmittance. According to a survey by the United Nations World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, a 70% visible light transmittance is the minimum standard to ensure that drivers are not affected by reduced visibility due to window tinting in low-light conditions such as nighttime, rain, and snow.

What does DRL mean?

This is a mode of the headlights, DRL (Daytime-Running-Lamps) means daytime running lights. The purpose of daytime running lights is not to help drivers see the road, but to make others aware of their presence as early as possible. For example, in snowy conditions, a white vehicle body can easily lead to misidentification by drivers. Related information is as follows: 1. Service life: Early versions of these daytime running lights mostly used halogen bulbs, which, although not very power-consuming, have been replaced by brighter LED configurations in modern designs by car manufacturers. These can significantly reduce power consumption by up to 35%, extend battery life, and have a maximum lifespan of up to 8000 hours, almost equivalent to the vehicle's service life. 2. Function: From the perspective of the surrounding environment, dedicated daytime running lights can improve visibility and make vehicles more noticeable. This technology, specifically researched for daytime use, is more direct and effective than existing lighting devices. According to existing studies, if equipped with daytime running lights, road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle drivers, can detect and recognize vehicles earlier and more effectively.
