In this case, it is recommended to clean the wiper blades thoroughly.

What is the calculation formula for car insurance premiums?

Here is a detailed introduction to the calculation formulas for car insurance premiums: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle Damage Insurance Premium = (Base Premium + Vehicle Purchase Price × Rate) × Discount Factor. Vehicle Damage Insurance refers to compensation provided by the insurance company within reasonable limits when the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle in an accident. The premium for Vehicle Damage Insurance is closely related to the vehicle's purchase price and the number of seats. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Third-Party Liability Insurance Premium = Base Pure Risk Premium / (1 - Additional Expense Rate) × Discount Factor. Third-Party Liability Insurance covers compensation for personal injury or direct property damage to third parties (excluding the driver and passengers of the insured vehicle) in an accident, as stipulated by the insurance company. 3. Comprehensive Theft Insurance: Theft Insurance Premium = Base Premium + Insured Amount × Rate. Comprehensive Theft Insurance provides compensation for losses caused by the theft or robbery of the entire vehicle. After a theft or robbery incident, if the vehicle is not recovered within 60 days of being reported to the police, the policyholder must provide documents such as the vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, and purchase invoice to prove the vehicle's origin and legality in order to receive the claim payment.

What are the reasons for the Nissan Sylphy's air conditioning not blowing air?

Nissan Sylphy's air conditioning suddenly not blowing air may be due to blower failure or air filter failure. Blower failure: As the core component for air conditioning airflow, if the blower malfunctions, there will definitely be no air output. Causes of blower failure may include overheating damage to internal coils or capacitor failure. You can turn the car's air conditioning fan speed and volume to maximum to listen for abnormal blower sounds to determine if there's a fault. The vehicle should be taken to a repair facility for thorough inspection to identify the exact cause. Air filter failure: Clogged air filters are the most common reason for air conditioning airflow problems. Outside air passes through the filter before entering the cabin, and the filter can easily accumulate debris that may cause blockages. The air filter can be removed for inspection - if not excessively dirty, using compressed air to clean it before reinstalling may resolve the air vent issue.
