Emergency braking should be avoided as much as possible. Here are some post-rain car maintenance tips: 1. Wash the car promptly: Urban rainwater is usually acidic and carries sticky substances that adhere to the car and become difficult to remove once the water evaporates. Therefore, car owners should not be lazy after the rain and should send their vehicles to a 4S shop or a professional car detailing center as soon as possible for a thorough cleaning. Pay special attention to cleaning the sludge and debris accumulated in the gaps under the doors and inside the wheel hubs, and ensure these areas remain dry. The dirt on the car's chassis should also be cleaned off. 2. Paint care: Rainwater often contains acidic substances that can corrode the outer layer of the car's paint, and it also carries invisible dust particles that, when exposed to sunlight, can generate a large amount of oxides. Therefore, it's best to perform a paint treatment after the rain, with waxing being a simple and effective method. 3. Brake system water removal: Most car braking systems use a dual-circuit vacuum-assisted hydraulic system, and the brake fluid, which transmits the braking force, is highly absorbent. If rainwater enters the brake fluid, it can cause the brakes to fail or become ineffective. Therefore, during maintenance, it's essential to check the brake fluid and any water marks on the brake discs to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.

Is it true that China will eliminate fuel-powered vehicles by 2025?

It is not true that China will eliminate fuel-powered vehicles by 2025. Although the development of new energy vehicles is progressing rapidly, and pure electric vehicles as the main form of new energy vehicles will inevitably replace current fuel-powered vehicles in the future, there is no clear regulation in national policies specifying the phase-out time for fuel-powered vehicles. Therefore, the claim circulating online that fuel-powered vehicles will be phased out by 2025 is clearly unfounded. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

How to Calculate Tire Pressure Units?

The calculation methods for tire pressure units are as follows: 1. There are generally five units of measurement for tire pressure: kg/cm2, bar, Kpa, Psi, and atmospheric pressure. 2. The conversion relationships between them are: 1kg/cm2=0.98bar=98.0665Kpa=14.2Psi, 1 atmospheric pressure=1.03327kg/cm2. Additional information: 1. MPa, bar, or psi. MPa is not commonly used, mainly bar and PSI. 2. 1MPa=10bar, 10000PSI is approximately equal to 69MPa. 3. In China, the pressure of gas is generally described in "kilograms", with the unit being "kg/cm^2". One kilogram of pressure is the force of one kilogram acting on one square centimeter. 4. The commonly used unit abroad is "Psi", with the specific unit being "lb/in2", which is "pounds per square inch". This unit is like the Fahrenheit temperature scale (F). 5. There are also other pressure units such as Pa (Pascal, one Newton acting on one square meter), KPa, Mpa, Bar, millimeter water column, millimeter mercury column, etc.

Does Using Air Conditioning in Winter Increase Fuel Consumption for Cars?

High fuel consumption in summer is mainly caused by using air conditioning, but in winter, the relationship between high fuel consumption and air conditioning is not significant. Whether the air conditioning compressor operates does affect engine fuel consumption, but it is not the decisive factor. Additional information: The following are the main reasons for increased fuel consumption in winter: 1. Choosing inappropriate engine oil: In winter, lower temperatures lead to poor engine oil fluidity, which is a primary cause of increased fuel consumption. The viscosity of the oil selected for winter should be lower, but it must be determined based on local temperatures and the car's specifications, and should not be changed arbitrarily. Lower viscosity oil can reach optimal operating conditions faster and also reduce power loss caused by wear between engine components. 2. Incorrect warm-up methods: Many car owners use the method of idling to warm up their cars. In fact, this method not only fails to protect the car but can also damage it. The correct warm-up method is not idling but keeping the engine at a low RPM while driving, then accelerating once the water temperature reaches normal operating conditions. This approach not only saves fuel but also promotes the fluidity of transmission oil, effectively reduces carbon buildup, and significantly lowers the cost of car ownership.

What does MAX A/C mean in a car's air conditioning system?

MAX A/C in a car's air conditioning system refers to the maximum cooling mode. MAX stands for maximum, and A/C is the switch to activate the air conditioning compressor. When this function is turned on, the cooling effect is enhanced with increased cooling capacity. Additional Information: 1. A/C is short for air conditioning, which can be understood as air control or air regulation. Its function in a car is to act as the switch for the air conditioning cooling system. When the A/C light is on, it indicates that the air conditioning compressor is activated, increasing engine load and fuel consumption. Pressing this button activates the compressor, causing the air blown by the blower to become cold. When the A/C button is pressed, the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning compressor engages, causing the compressor to rotate with the engine and enter the cooling state. 2. The application of air conditioning technology in cars creates a comfortable thermal microenvironment inside the vehicle. It maintains the temperature, humidity, airflow, cleanliness, noise, and pressure within comfortable standards. This not only helps protect the physical and mental health of drivers and passengers, improving their work efficiency and quality of life, but also plays a positive role in enhancing driving safety.

How to Tell if a Car is Burning Engine Oil?

Judgment Methods: 1. Burning oil during acceleration: When the driver steps hard on the accelerator while driving or idling, a large amount of blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe. In severe cases, the driver can see blue smoke from the side mirror of the exhaust pipe after stepping hard on the accelerator while driving. 2. Burning oil when the engine is cold: Every morning when starting the car for the first time, thick blue smoke is emitted from the rear exhaust pipe. After a while, the blue smoke disappears, and similar situations generally do not occur again that day. 3. Check the exhaust pipe: If there is a significant deposit of black substances on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe, first clean the inner wall thoroughly. After a week, check again. If the inner wall is very black, it indicates that the car is burning engine oil. 4. Fill the car with engine oil: Have the owner drive 1,000 kilometers and then take the car to a service station to weigh the oil and oil filter. Then, fill the car with oil again and have the owner drive another 1,000 kilometers. Repeat this process three times to obtain an average value. After the break-in period, normal oil consumption is generally around 0.3 liters per 1,000 kilometers. If it exceeds this standard, it means the car is burning engine oil.

What are the precautions for beginners driving automatic transmission vehicles?

Beginners should note that automatic transmission vehicles only have brake and accelerator pedals. Press and release them gently, avoid sudden acceleration. Before shifting gears, the brake must be fully depressed; before driving, the handbrake must be completely released. When reversing, always control the speed by braking and pay attention to obstacles on both sides. Detailed introduction to precautions for driving automatic transmission vehicles: The vehicle can only start in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear. When shifting from P gear, the brake must be pressed. Never coast in N gear while driving, as the automatic transmission requires lubrication. When the gear is in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the temperature of transmission components to rise, leading to complete damage. When parking after driving, the automatic transmission vehicle must be turned off and shifted to P gear before the key can be removed. Principles for beginners on the road: Before driving, mentally rehearse the essentials of driving. When encountering lane cutting, obstacles, or potholes, slow down and then avoid them, never swerve left or right randomly. In complex road conditions, slow down, stay calm, and don't be afraid of being urged by vehicles behind. Always check the rearview mirror, and before changing lanes, always use the turn signal and confirm safety by checking the rearview mirror before turning.
