What is the function of the shark fin on the back of a car?

Here is an introduction to the functions of the shark fin on a car: 1. The shark fin has a radio reception function, ensuring normal sound signal reception even at high speeds, allowing the driver to listen to the radio normally. 2. The shark fin is used to receive GPS signals. Many cars come with built-in navigation, and the shark fin's role is to receive GPS signals for the proper use of the navigation system. 3. The shark fin is used to receive GSM signals. The quality of phone calls in high-speed cars is closely related to the function of this shark fin. Including system upgrades and network services, all rely on this shark fin to enhance signal reception and transmission. 4. The shark fin has the function of discharging static electricity. In dry winters, the car's precision instruments need to release static electricity, and the shark fin helps discharge it, providing a protective effect. 5. Another function of the shark fin is to reduce drag and wind noise. The previous long antennas had significant wind resistance, but after replacing them with shark fins, both drag and wind noise are greatly reduced.

Why does the car air conditioning only cool when accelerating?

The following are the possible reasons why the car air conditioning only cools when accelerating: 1. Insufficient battery voltage: The car air conditioning requires electricity. If the voltage is insufficient, it won't cool properly. When accelerating, the engine generates more electricity to power the battery, allowing the air conditioning to function normally. 2. Compressor operation status: If the compressor belt slips, it affects power transmission, causing insufficient pressure at low speeds; internal component damage or abnormal noises in the compressor due to wear can prevent effective compression; a slipping compressor clutch can also lead to insufficient compression pressure. 3. Condenser and fan condition: Severe blockage of the condenser radiator reduces its efficiency at low speeds; check if the condenser fan is faulty - abnormal noises or poor motor operation can result in insufficient airflow at low speeds. 4. Refrigerant level inspection: Check the observation window for excessive bubbles, indicating insufficient refrigerant; if no bubbles are visible after cooling, it means too much refrigerant has been added; inspect high and low-pressure pipes and connections for leaks, which require repair or replacement if found.

How to Identify Yellow Label Vehicles?

Here are the methods to identify yellow label vehicles: 1. Judging by the year of manufacture: This is a simple way to identify yellow label vehicles. Generally, domestically produced vehicles manufactured before 1996 and imported vehicles manufactured before 1998 are classified as yellow label vehicles. The simplest criteria for identifying yellow label vehicles are: 1. Passenger cars and mini trucks with gasoline or gas fuel types registered before July 1, 2000; 2. Light trucks with gasoline or gas fuel types registered before October 1, 2001; 3. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with gasoline fuel types registered before July 1, 2003; 4. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with gas fuel types registered before September 1, 2001; 5. Mini and small passenger cars with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2008; 6. Mini and light trucks with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2009; 7. Medium and heavy-duty trucks (including semi-trailer tractors) and medium and large passenger cars with diesel fuel types registered before July 1, 2008. 2. Judging by the vehicle's exhaust emissions: Vehicles with spark-ignition engines that do not meet the National I standard or above and vehicles with compression-ignition engines that do not meet the National III standard or above are classified as yellow label vehicles. 3. Querying on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website: If owners want to know whether their vehicle is a yellow label vehicle, they can log in to the "Yellow Label Vehicle Query System" on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website, fill in the required information according to the system's instructions, and follow the steps to find out whether their vehicle is classified as a yellow label vehicle.

What is the difference between part-time four-wheel drive and on-demand four-wheel drive?

On-demand four-wheel drive generally operates in two-wheel drive mode and automatically switches to four-wheel drive when necessary; the part-time four-wheel drive system requires manual switching between two-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive, and low-speed four-wheel drive modes. Below are the specific differences between the two: 1. Different vehicle applications (1) Part-time four-wheel drive typically refers to four-wheel-drive vehicles with a manual transfer case. Most older domestic SUVs and the Jeep Wrangler use this system. These vehicles are usually equipped with solid front and rear axles, manual operation, simple structure, high reliability, and facilitate the installation of rear differential locks or front hub locks. (2) On-demand four-wheel drive is adopted by most urban SUVs. Among various four-wheel-drive systems, it achieves a balance between operational convenience and cost. They are mostly front-transverse engine configurations, with a drive shaft leading to the rear axle. Power is transmitted through a multi-plate clutch in series with the rear differential. Normally, it operates in front-wheel drive, and the computer automatically engages the clutch to drive the rear wheels when wheel slippage is detected. 2. Different technologies (1) Part-time four-wheel drive: The driver manually selects between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case. This is the most common drive mode in SUV models. Its advantage is that it ensures both the vehicle's power and off-road capability while maintaining fuel economy. The slight drawback is that the driver needs to judge road conditions and manually operate the drive mode. (2) On-demand four-wheel drive: The switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive is controlled by a computer chip. The notable feature of this system is that it inherits the advantages of full-time four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive while compensating for their shortcomings. It can automatically identify the driving environment and control the switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes based on changes in driving conditions. On low-traction surfaces such as bumpy, hilly, or winding roads, the vehicle automatically sets to four-wheel drive mode, while on flatter urban roads, it switches to two-wheel drive.

What Are the Main Reasons for Excessive Vehicle Exhaust Emissions?

There are several reasons for excessive vehicle exhaust emissions: 1. Vehicle aging: If a vehicle has traveled more than 450,000 kilometers or has been in use for over 15 years, its components will show significant aging, poor contact, poor sealing, and insufficient pressure. 2. Failure of the three-way catalytic converter: The failure of the three-way catalytic converter is the primary reason for excessive vehicle exhaust emissions. The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by the vehicle's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. When high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx, promoting certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. CO oxidizes at high temperatures into colorless, non-toxic CO2 gas; HC compounds oxidize into water (H2O) and CO2; and NOx reduces into nitrogen and oxygen. These three harmful gases are transformed into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust. 3. Abnormal engine operation: The engine may experience issues such as misfiring, spark plug oil leakage, or oil mixing, causing it to run unevenly and weakly when the throttle is increased. 4. Dirty vehicle systems (intake system, exhaust system, fuel system): This situation usually occurs in relatively new vehicles, but the test results show excessive emissions or only slight exceedances by a few percent or fractions of a percent. This indicates that the vehicle's exhaust treatment system, including the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor, is not significantly faulty. The cause of excessive emissions may be due to the three major systems (intake system, exhaust system, fuel system) being excessively dirty.

After how many kilometers do tires need to be replaced?

Tires should generally be replaced after approximately 80,000 kilometers based on mileage. Here is more relevant information: 1. The typical service life of tires is 6 years. The mileage and road conditions vary, as do driving habits, so even for the same vehicle model, tire wear can differ. 2. On the sidewall of the tire, there is a '△' symbol every 30 degrees, which serves as a tire wear warning indicator. According to Chinese national standards, the tread wear limit for passenger car radial tires is 1.6mm, while for trucks and buses, it is 2.0mm. 3. Looking along the triangular symbol toward the tire surface, when the tread wears to 1.6mm above the groove base, the groove will begin to crack, showing noticeable fissures. For self-inspection, car owners can use a key for comparison—if the groove depth is close to the key's thickness, the tires need replacement.
