Methods to deal with spots on car chrome trim: 1. Hydrochloric Acid: Prepare a soft and clean cloth, then pour a small amount of hydrochloric acid onto the cloth. Gently wipe the areas with spots, repeating the process several times. Although using toothpaste to remove spots may require some patience, this method is relatively safe (other methods may be corrosive). 2. Toothpaste: Toothpaste can be considered a "universal remedy" because it has a grinding function. Although the process of removing spots with toothpaste may take some patience, this method is safer (other methods may be corrosive). 3. Carburetor Cleaner: Carburetor cleaner is used to remove stains and is the most effective method. However, it should be noted that due to its relatively strong corrosiveness, care must be taken not to let it drip onto the car paint during use, as it may cause varying degrees of damage.

What does Urban 35 and Highway 47 mean?

Urban 35 refers to the driving speed limit of 50 km/h on urban roads with a centerline and 30 km/h on those without. Highway 47 refers to the driving speed limit of 70 km/h on highways with a centerline and 40 km/h on those without. Speed test: The maximum speed a vehicle can achieve under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. According to Chinese regulations, the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the high-speed test area, with four round trips conducted, and the average value is taken. Speed limit: The speed limit is different from the theoretical maximum speed (which refers to the best performance the engine can achieve under optimal conditions, limited to theory). For some high-performance vehicles, manufacturers often use technical means (such as electronic speed limit functions) to limit the vehicle's maximum speed to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations.

Can you aim with one eye in Subject 2?

Subject 2 can be aimed with one eye. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory contents: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. Test requirements: If the first attempt at Subject 2 is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is still unsuccessful, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five times.

Under what circumstances does drunk driving result in a 6-point deduction?

Previously, the regulation stipulated a 6-point deduction for drunk driving. The dangers of drunk driving: The stimulation from alcohol during drinking can make people excited, leading to excessive consumption without realizing it. When the alcohol concentration in the human bloodstream reaches a certain level, the ability to react to and control external situations decreases, as does the ability to handle emergencies. For drunk drivers, the higher the blood alcohol content, the greater the likelihood of a crash. Penalties for drunk driving: Driving a motor vehicle after drinking alcohol will result in a six-month suspension of the motor vehicle driving license and a fine. If penalized for driving after drinking and caught driving under the influence again, the offender will face up to ten days of detention, a fine, and revocation of the motor vehicle driving license.

Why Must the Half Shaft Be Replaced with an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part?

Half Shaft Must Be Replaced with OEM Part Because OEM Parts Are More Durable and Stable. The Importance of the Half Shaft: One of the Most Critical Components in the Engine. It Bears the Force Transmitted by the Connecting Rod and Converts It into Torque, Which Is Then Output Through the Crankshaft to Drive Other Engine Accessories. The Crankshaft Is Subjected to Centrifugal Forces from Rotating Masses, Periodically Varying Gas Inertial Forces, and Reciprocating Inertial Forces, Causing It to Endure Bending and Torsional Loads. Therefore, the Crankshaft Must Have Sufficient Strength and Stiffness, with Wear-Resistant Journal Surfaces, Uniform Operation, and Good Balance. The Structure of the Half Shaft: To Reduce the Mass of the Half Shaft and the Centrifugal Force Generated During Operation, the Crankshaft Journals Are Often Hollow. Oil Holes Are Drilled on Each Journal Surface to Allow the Introduction or Removal of Oil for Lubricating the Journal Surface. To Minimize Stress Concentration, the Connections Between the Main Journal, Crankpin, and Crank Arm Are All Designed with Transition Radii.

What is the difference between a sensor-activated trunk and an electric trunk?

The difference between a sensor-activated trunk and an electric trunk lies in their opening methods: The sensor-activated trunk is equipped with a sensor under the rear bumper, allowing the trunk to be opened or closed through sensing—simply waving your foot under the sensor can open the trunk. On the other hand, an electric trunk can be electronically controlled to open and close, featuring a door-closing button inside the trunk lid. Pressing this button allows the trunk lid to close automatically without manual intervention. The design purpose of the sensor-activated trunk is to enable opening without the need to touch any buttons manually, especially useful when carrying items. Typically, with the key fob on hand, the driver only needs to sweep their foot under the sensor at the bottom of the rear bumper, and the trunk lid will open automatically, greatly facilitating owners who have their hands full. To close the trunk, the operation is similar to opening—just gently sweep the foot under the rear bumper again, or press the button on the trunk lid to complete the closing process.

How Many Kilometers Can a Car Travel on a Full Tank of Gas?

Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35 to 45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a capacity of around 55 to 75 liters. After filling up the tank, most cars can travel over 500 kilometers. The distance a car can travel on a full tank is closely related to the car's displacement, fuel tank size, and fuel consumption. Depending on the engine displacement, cars with higher fuel consumption tend to have larger fuel tanks, while those with lower fuel consumption have smaller tanks. A typical sedan has a fuel tank capacity of about 50 liters. If the fuel consumption is calculated at a relatively economical rate of 8 liters per 100 kilometers, the car can travel up to 625 kilometers. Small-displacement turbocharged models can travel 600-750 kilometers on a full tank under standard driving conditions, while larger-displacement vehicles can travel around 600 kilometers. Specific factors that increase a car's fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines require more gasoline to generate power. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against strong winds increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, gasoline injected during startup does not atomize easily, requiring more fuel for combustion. Additionally, the engine control unit may increase idle speed to warm up the engine, further raising fuel consumption. Fuel-saving driving techniques: Maintaining speed: Controlling speed while driving can be challenging. The most fuel-efficient driving condition is maintaining a steady, straight-line speed. The optimal fuel-saving speeds are 60-80 km/h for small-displacement cars and 80-100 km/h for medium-displacement cars. Driving at these speeds maximizes fuel efficiency. Gear control: Whether driving a manual or automatic transmission car, shifting gears appropriately is key. For automatic transmissions: Use 1st gear for low speeds or steep inclines, 2nd gear for long or steep slopes, 3rd gear for uneven roads, secondary roads, or city driving below 60 km/h, and D (Drive) gear for speeds mostly above 60 km/h to ensure fuel efficiency and quiet operation.
