Before parking, turn on the warm air mode of the air conditioner to dry out the moisture in the air conditioning ducts and the interior of the car, preventing the car environment from becoming too humid and causing mold. Place some activated bamboo charcoal in the car to absorb moisture and harmful substances, thereby regulating the humidity inside the car. Install a solar-powered air purifier or place a car air purifier in the vehicle to absorb dust and impurities in the air, preventing mold from forming inside the car.

Last time my car trunk also got moldy, which was quite troublesome. I first used a vacuum cleaner to suck up the mold residue, then wiped the mold stains with white vinegar mixed with water. For areas with heavy mold odor, I applied alcohol cotton pads for a few extra minutes. After drying, I also placed half a bag of activated charcoal to absorb moisture, and on rainy days, I put a dehumidifier box in the trunk. The most crucial step was discovering the leak point—the aging seal strip on the right taillight was causing water ingress. Replacing the seal strip finally solved the problem completely. After washing the car, don’t forget to leave the trunk open for half an hour to air out, especially under the trunk mat where moisture tends to accumulate the most.

Can I still get my car inspected if it's been over a year?

Yes, you can still get your car inspected even if it's been over a year. Here are the specific procedures for handling overdue driver's license inspections: 1. Within one year: If your driver's license inspection is overdue by less than a year, you can follow the normal procedures to apply for a late inspection by submitting the required materials. 2. Over one year: If the inspection is overdue by more than one year but less than three years, you will need to take the subject one exam at the vehicle management office before applying for the late inspection. 3. Over three years: If a Class C license inspection is overdue by three years, the license will be invalidated directly. For Class A and B licenses, the license will be downgraded, and the driver must apply for the downgrade at the vehicle management office within 30 days. If not processed on time, the vehicle management office will directly announce the cancellation of the driving qualification for the permitted vehicle types.

What is a Car DC Converter?

DC converter refers to an automotive converter, also known as a DC/AC inverter, which can convert DC power into AC power that meets the requirements of the load. The following is a related introduction: Application scope of DC converter: Suitable for 12V DC power sources, such as cars, ships, and trucks. Functions of DC converter: This product has overload protection, short circuit protection, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, undervoltage alarm, and over-temperature protection functions. Connectable devices: At the AC output end, you can connect devices such as laptops, fax machines, mobile phone chargers, portable audio systems, color TVs, coffee pots, refrigerators, and microwaves to meet automotive living needs. Usage method: Connect one side of the battery clamp directly to the car battery, and the converter can convert the car's 12V DC power into household 220V AC power. Insert the electrical appliance into the AC socket. Turn on the converter switch to use it normally.

Can People with Color Weakness Pass the Driver's License Physical Examination?

This depends on the specific degree of color weakness. If one cannot even distinguish traffic lights, it can easily lead to traffic accidents, and they cannot apply for a driver's license. Color weakness, also known as color vision deficiency, can be understood as a mild form of color blindness where the ability to recognize colors is present but with lower sensitivity. Below is additional information: 1. Legal provisions: The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" only states that "people with red-green color blindness cannot apply for a driver's license," while those with color weakness or other types of color blindness are allowed. Secondly, color weakness is not the same as color blindness; it means the ability to distinguish colors is worse than that of the average person, not a complete loss of color recognition, and it can be corrected. 2. Color weakness: Color weakness refers to a poor ability to distinguish colors, which can be caused by congenital inheritance or acquired diseases. Patients mainly show a reduced ability to recognize colors. Generally, patients can see the same colors as normal people, but their ability to distinguish colors is very weak.

What do emergency braking and engine braking mean?

Here is the relevant introduction to emergency braking and engine braking: 1. Emergency braking: Emergency braking, also known as emergency braking, is the vehicle's second braking system, used when the driving braking system suddenly fails. So what should you do if the brakes suddenly fail? At this time, emergency braking needs to be used. For vehicles using compressed air, because the rear axle uses a dual-chamber brake air chamber, the parking brake is naturally used as emergency braking at the same time. Some vehicles use the rear axle brake as the hand brake, which also serves as emergency braking. 2. Engine braking: Engine braking refers to lifting the accelerator pedal without stepping on the clutch, using the compression resistance, internal friction, and intake and exhaust resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke to form a braking effect on the driving wheels. Engine braking makes full use of the engine's drag to control the speed. This method is most commonly used in mountainous areas, where descending large mountains or steep slopes frequently using the brake can cause the brake to overheat, easily leading to reduced braking efficiency.

How is three years of driving experience calculated?

The driver's license will have the issuance date of the license. Adding three years to that date will give you the required period, which must be greater than or equal to three years. For example, if the date on the license is January 1, 2018, by January 2, 2021, the driving experience will be more than three years. Here is some additional information: 1. Legal basis: According to Article 64, Paragraph 1 of "Order No. 123", the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a driver's license or adds a permitted driving type is the probationary period (i.e., the 12 months from the "initial license date" on the original driver's license). 2. Definition of driving experience: Driving experience refers to the number of years a motor vehicle driver has held a driving qualification, calculated from the date the driver obtained the qualification. If a motor vehicle driver obtains different driving qualifications by adding permitted driving types (additional driving), each qualification has its own separate driving experience and should not be confused.

Why is the Mercedes Parking Assist System Not Working?

Mercedes Parking Assist System may stop working due to the following reasons: use of a temporary spare tire; damaged sensors or bumper; sensors being blocked by components installed on the vehicle, such as bumper covers; the vehicle being used to transport loads exceeding its capacity. More details are as follows: 1. Parking Assist System: This system includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers, with each sensor having a diameter of approximately 15mm. The ultrasonic signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. Upon receiving the reflected signals, the sensors promptly feed them back to the system for distance calculation. The system then alerts the driver about the distance to obstacles outside the visible range through sound or video. 2. Verifying the Fault After Receiving the Vehicle: When shifting the transmission into R (Reverse) gear, it was observed that the red indicator light on the Parking Assist System (PTS) button illuminated, and neither the front nor rear parking warning indicators responded, indicating that the parking assist system was in a disabled state.
