First, attach a small mirror to the inside of the glass to better reflect the condition of the crack. Place the triangular suction cup on the glass, extract any residual air from the damaged point, and apply pressure to inject the resin from the repair tool into the damaged area of the glass. Pull up the lever of the vacuum injector and wait for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully observe the small mirror to check for any bubbles. Once the adhesive has fully penetrated the crack, use a UV curing lamp to quickly solidify the repair resin. After the resin has hardened, remove the UV curing lamp and peel off the transparent plastic film, completing the windshield repair process.

What Causes a Car Air Conditioner Not to Cool When the Pressure is Normal?

When the air outlet is functioning normally and the compressor is working properly, the reasons why a car air conditioner fails to cool are as follows: 1. Lack of refrigerant: Car air conditioners typically require refrigerant replenishment every 2-3 years, with some vehicles needing it annually. Even if the air conditioning system is tightly sealed, refrigerant can still escape, especially if there are minor leaks in the air conditioning pipes or condenser. 2. Damaged air conditioning flap: The failure of the air conditioning flap motor is relatively rare but not unheard of. A malfunctioning flap motor is troublesome as it is usually located in the lower middle part of the dashboard, serving as the main switch for the air vents. If it fails, the switch is effectively broken, and even if the air conditioner can produce cold air, it can only escape through gaps, akin to quenching thirst with poison. 3. Dirty condenser: During summer, poor air conditioning performance is often noticed. When the air conditioning system is tested and found to be functioning normally with standard high and low pressures, car repair shops often recommend cleaning the radiator. The primary purpose of cleaning the radiator and condenser is to improve heat dissipation. Accumulation of springtime poplar and willow catkins on the condenser can lead to issues like excessively high engine temperatures or poor air conditioning performance.

What kind of lubricant should be used for squeaky door hinges?

Use white grease or Vaseline. Here are the relevant details: 1. White grease: A patented synthetic lubricant containing nano-scale PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) lubricating particles. This grease has a smooth surface and excellent lubrication, heat dissipation, rust prevention, and sealing properties. It is particularly suitable for precision instruments, mechanical components under high-temperature conditions, and heavy-duty high-load equipment. Since it does not contain metal-based thickeners, it does not degrade the base oil, making its application range even broader. It can be safely used on plastic, rubber, and metal contact points, making it a truly multifunctional synthetic grease. 2. Vaseline: A semi-liquid mixture of alkane hydrocarbons or saturated hydrocarbons, also known as petroleum jelly, obtained through petroleum distillation. At room temperature, its state is between solid and liquid, and it comes in brown, yellow, and white colors depending on its intended use. Natural Vaseline is derived from concentrated residues of petroleum heavy oils like alkane hydrocarbons, while artificial Vaseline is made from mixtures of mineral oil thickened with pure ozokerite, paraffin, or petrolatum. Vaseline has a mineral oil odor but lacks the smell of kerosene. It can be used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, as well as for machine lubrication.

Can You Stop the Car Directly in Fourth Gear?

To stop a manual transmission car directly in fourth gear, you need to first press the brake, then press the clutch when you feel the car slowing down, continue pressing the brake, shift to neutral after stopping, engage the handbrake, and finally release the clutch and brake to complete the stop. Here is some additional information: 1. The function of the manual transmission control mechanism: It ensures that the driver can accurately shift the transmission into the desired gear based on the car's operating conditions and usage. There are mainly two types: direct control and remote control. Most cars use a direct control transmission mechanism, where the gear lever and all shift control devices are mounted on the transmission cover. The transmission is located near the driver's seat, and the gear lever extends from the floor of the cabin, allowing the driver to directly operate the gear lever to engage the shift control devices inside the transmission cover for shifting. This design is compact, simple, and easy to operate. 2. Axial sliding: The shift fork shaft is supported at both ends in corresponding holes in the transmission cover and can slide axially. All shift forks and shift blocks are elastically fixed to their respective shift fork shafts. The upper end of the third and fourth gear shift fork has a shift block, and the top of the 3-4 gear shift fork and all shift blocks are grooved.

Can You Change a Tire on the Highway Yourself?

It is not recommended to change a tire yourself. If you absolutely must do so, ensure it is done under safe conditions without obstructing other vehicles. When changing a tire on the highway, proper warning signals must be set up to avoid secondary accidents. Additionally, the driver should be familiar with the method of replacing a spare tire, as improper tire changes on the highway can result in penalties or fines. Important points to note after a tire blowout on the highway: 1. Maintain control of the steering: Whether it's a front or rear tire blowout, the driver's first priority is to control the steering while turning on the hazard lights. Once the speed is reduced, safely pull over to the emergency lane. Avoid sudden steering movements after a blowout, as this can lead to skidding or even rollovers at high speeds. 2. Set up a warning triangle: Due to high-speed traffic, hazard lights alone may not be sufficient. Place a triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic. If available, wear a reflective vest before inspecting or changing the tire. 3. Control your speed: After completing the preparations, promptly replace the spare tire and move the vehicle from the emergency lane. When using a spare tire, maintain a controlled speed due to its limitations.

Can a Car Be Driven Without a Key?

Under normal circumstances, a car cannot be driven without a key because the vehicle is equipped with an engine immobilizer system. Here are some solutions for when you don't have a car key: Use the spare key: When purchasing a car, you are usually provided with two keys—one for daily use and another as a spare. If the primary key is accidentally lost, the spare key can be used. However, this is generally suitable when you are close to home. If you are traveling and cannot access the spare key, you will need to unlock the car door through other means. Get a new key made: You can visit a 4S store to have a new key made. If the store has the key in stock, it can usually be done quickly. If not, the store will need to request the key from the manufacturer, which typically takes 3-5 days. Try remote unlocking: With advancements in technology, cars have become increasingly intelligent, and car keys are one example. Many car models on the market now come equipped with OnStar, which allows for remote unlocking of the vehicle. If you accidentally leave your key inside the car and the doors automatically lock, you can call the OnStar customer service hotline. After verifying the accurate vehicle information, they can remotely unlock the car door for you.

Will the passenger playing with a phone result in penalty points while driving?

During driving, the related passenger playing with a phone will not result in penalty points. Hazards of using a phone while driving: 1. Reduced safety: Phone screens are getting larger, making it difficult to operate with just one hand while driving. This significantly impacts speed control, distance judgment, and obstacle avoidance, greatly increasing the risk of operational errors or loss of vehicle control, leading to accidents. 2. Distracted attention: When a driver uses a phone while driving, at least half of their attention is diverted to the phone, inevitably neglecting observation of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. In case of emergencies, this drastically reduces adaptability and reaction time, resulting in traffic accidents. Research shows: The risk of a crash while using a phone is four times higher than during normal driving, and 70% of fatal accidents are caused by driver distraction. 3. Narrowed field of vision: Using a phone while driving narrows the driver's field of vision, particularly reducing the ability to perceive distant objects. Tests indicate: When a driver looks at a phone while driving, it takes about 3 seconds for the eyes to shift from the phone to the road, process in the brain, initiate braking, and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. During this time, a vehicle traveling at 60 km/h will cover over 50 meters, while avoiding an accident requires at least 20 meters of distance. 4. Major cause of traffic congestion: Using a phone inevitably slows the vehicle speed significantly compared to normal driving, directly leading to traffic congestion.
