Methods to remove fog from the car on rainy days: 1. For manual air conditioning, turn on the front window defogging mode, increase the fan speed, turn on the AC switch, and lower the temperature. The fog on the glass will disappear shortly; 2. If the rear window and side mirrors are equipped with electric heating functions, simply press the switch to activate them, and the fog will be cleared in about a minute; 3. For automatic air conditioning, press the one-touch defrost button, and the fan speed will automatically increase while the external circulation is activated; 4. Do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after starting the car. Wait for the engine to warm up for a few minutes, and once the water temperature rises, begin heating. Turn on the front window defogging mode, and the fog will disappear in a few minutes.

I remember one time when I was driving in the rain, the car windows suddenly fogged up and I couldn't see anything. I quickly turned on the air conditioning to cold air mode, set the airflow to the windshield, and then turned on the external circulation to let fresh air in. The fog cleared up very quickly. It's also important to keep the interior from getting too humid, so I make sure to dry my shoes before getting in the car. Driving in the rain is slippery and visibility is poor, which can be dangerous, so I drive slowly and avoid sudden braking. The key to defogging is to reduce the humidity inside the car. The air conditioning is very effective at absorbing moisture, and you can also use a cheap defogging spray on the glass, but the air conditioning is the most convenient and quickest solution.

Driving with foggy windows on rainy days is really annoying, especially when the humidity is high and the fog forms quickly. As someone who drives a lot, I know that fog is caused by temperature differences. Turning on the cold air conditioning for dehumidification works the fastest—pressing the defog button usually solves the problem in seconds. If the AC isn’t working well, cracking the window slightly to allow airflow can also help, even if a bit of rain gets in. Safety comes first—don’t wipe the fog with your hands when it’s heavy, as it distracts you and can lead to accidents. Regularly check your car’s AC system to ensure it functions properly, preventing issues before they arise.

Can water be drained out if the headlight gets flooded?

Yes. Here are the relevant details: Consequences of water ingress in headlights: If it's relatively minor, it will form mist when the headlights are turned on. If there is significant water ingress or long-term water accumulation, the situation becomes more serious. This can directly affect the lighting effectiveness of the lamp, the lifespan of the bulb, the appearance quality, and may even cause short circuits, burning out the bulb, fuse, or wiring. Precautions: Water splashing from the front won't have much impact on the headlights. The plastic used for the headlight mounting position only has dustproof functionality, not waterproof. Therefore, when washing the vehicle, avoid rough handling of the headlights and do not submerge them in water.

What is the difference between 98 and 95 gasoline?

They differ in anti-knock combustion capability and isooctane value. Below are relevant introductions: Introduction to fuel anti-knock property: The anti-knock property of gasoline refers to its ability to avoid detonation when burning in an engine, which is a major performance indicator of gasoline. Strong anti-knock property allows the use of higher compression ratio engines, thereby increasing engine power, reducing fuel consumption, and improving engine economy. Introduction to isooctane: It is an isomer of octane. Isooctane exhibits good anti-knock properties when burning in internal combustion engine cylinders, serving as a standard for gasoline's anti-knock rating with its octane value defined as 100, making it an excellent engine fuel.

What are the common faults and causes of automatic transmissions?

Common faults and causes of automatic transmissions are as follows: Oil leakage: Oil seeps from the transmission housing or oil pan, which can be caused by aging seals leading to poor sealing, or manufacturing defects resulting in pinholes in the housing. Engine stalling when engaging gear: When shifting into D or R, the engine stalls. This fault may be caused by a damaged lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. Gear lock: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or issues with components or wiring, can cause this. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers may also lead to this issue. No response when engaging gear: After shifting into D or R and releasing the brake, the vehicle does not move. This is often due to damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake.

What could be the reason for a car key running out of battery just a few days after replacement?

If the battery quality is not an issue, then the problem lies with the car key itself. Here are the relevant details: Introduction to Car Smart Keys: A car smart key is a common keyless entry system, also known as an intelligent key system. It consists of a transmitter, a remote central locking control module, a driving authorization system control module (three receivers), and related wiring harnesses that form the control system. The remote and transmitter are integrated into the car key, allowing the vehicle to enter a locked or unlocked state based on signals from the smart key, and can even automatically close windows and sunroofs. Types of Car Keys: Pure mechanical lock keys, electronic anti-theft lock keys, and chip-based digital anti-theft lock keys.

What gear should a manual transmission car be in when parked?

Manual transmission cars should generally be put in neutral when parked. The following precautions should be noted when parking a manual transmission car: Do not downshift: When approaching an intersection where the road markings change from dashed to solid lines, regardless of the current gear, downshifting is unnecessary. Brake first: Simply press the clutch first and then quickly apply the brake to rapidly reduce speed. If there's still some distance to the vehicle ahead or the stop line after slowing down, release the brake and let the car coast forward using inertia. When approaching the vehicle ahead or the stop line, apply the brake again to bring the car to a smooth stop. Avoid nose-diving: Practice braking repeatedly to develop a feel for it, and try to avoid sudden braking that causes the car to "nose-dive."
