To remove odors from a new car, you can place some orange or tangerine peels inside the car, as well as some activated charcoal. Additionally, it's important to frequently open the windows for ventilation, which can quickly eliminate the odors inside the car. More methods for removing odors from the car are as follows: 1. Place activated charcoal in the car: Put several large bags of activated charcoal both in the front and back of the car to effectively absorb odors. However, every once in a while, place the bamboo charcoal bags under direct sunlight for more than 2-3 hours to refresh them. 2. If you drive for long periods, you can purchase an air purifier. During hazy or windy weather, turn on the recirculation mode along with the air purifier to block out some external pollutants. 3. Use the air conditioning to remove odors. If opening the windows is not an option, use the air conditioning's external circulation mode to maintain airflow inside the car. Regularly clean the air conditioning system, as it can accumulate harmful gases over time.

That new car smell is really a headache. I keep the windows open every day for ventilation, opening all the windows before leaving in the morning to let fresh air circulate. When parked in the underground garage, I deliberately find a spot near a vent. Sometimes I take the car for a spin on the highway to let the air flow through. Additionally, placing lemon slices or orange peels in the car helps absorb odors; bamboo charcoal bags also work—I bought a few and placed them in the trunk and on the floor mats to absorb the plastic smell. Sunlight is another effective method, as UV rays can break down odors, so I always park outdoors on weekends with the doors open for half an hour. Finally, regularly cleaning the interior, like seat covers, helps because dust tends to trap odors. After sticking to this routine for a week, the smell becomes much lighter.

What causes engine knocking?

Engine knocking occurs due to the following reasons: 1. Carbon deposits in the combustion chamber; 2. Low octane rating of the fuel; 3. Incorrect ignition timing; 4. Overheating of the engine; 5. Incorrect air-fuel ratio. Solutions to engine knocking include: 1. Delaying the ignition timing; 2. Cleaning the fuel system and injectors; 3. Using qualified fuel additives; 4. Choosing fuel suitable for the engine's compression ratio; 5. Repairing or replacing the water pump. Engines are categorized by their working principles into piston engines, ramjet engines, rocket engines, and turbine engines. Their function is to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy by burning fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston, thereby providing power to the vehicle.

Should the Car Air Conditioner Use Internal or External Circulation?

Whether to use internal or external circulation in a car's air conditioning depends on the situation: use internal circulation for short trips and external circulation for long trips. Internal and external circulation in cars refer to: 1. Internal circulation means the air conditioning system is closed to outside air and only recirculates the air inside the car; 2. External circulation means the car's air conditioning system is open to outside air, drawing in and circulating air from outside the car. The functions of a car's air conditioning are: 1. To cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the car; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and improve driving safety.

What does the TC indicator on the car dashboard mean?

When the car dashboard displays TC, it means the Traction Control system is active. The Traction Control System, also known as the Anti-Slip Regulation system, relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels' speed is lower than that of the driving wheels. It then sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or apply braking to the wheels to prevent them from slipping. Possible causes for the TC light to illuminate include: 1. Solenoid valve malfunction; 2. Dirty engine oil clogging the solenoid valve filter; 3. Wear between the actuator gear and impeller causing oil pressure leakage and triggering the alarm; 4. Dirty throttle body with opening reaching 20%, leading the engine computer to mistakenly diagnose a TC fault.
