The method to turn off car windshield wipers is: rotate the rear wiper switch backward. Their function is: to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The maintenance methods for windshield wipers are: 1. When using wipers to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, spray glass cleaner instead of dry wiping; 2. Manually clean other stubborn or hard dirt on the glass; 3. When lifting the wiper blade, hold the spine of the blade and gently place it back; 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice particles from the windshield surface before use; 5. Repair any wiper malfunctions as soon as possible.

For those who often tinker with their cars, turning off the windshield wipers is a routine task. There's usually a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel; just give it a gentle push or press it downward to stop the wipers. In high-end cars with automatic rain-sensing wipers, you might need to disable the sensor via the central control screen. I always remind my friends to regularly check the wiper blades, as they can get stuck when worn out, making it hard to turn them off. Also, on rainy days, don’t rush to turn them off—wait until the rain has completely stopped to avoid scratching the glass. Turning them off when not in use can also save power, which is good for the battery's lifespan. In short, while the operation is simple, don’t overlook maintenance to ensure safer and smoother driving in the rain.

Will Insurance Cover If the Vehicle Annual Inspection Expires?

Insurance will not cover claims if the annual inspection expires. The insurer will not be liable for compensation under any of the following circumstances for the insured vehicle (as detailed in Article 2, which explicitly states that failure to undergo the annual inspection on time voids insurance coverage): 1. Unless otherwise agreed, if at the time of the insurance incident, the vehicle does not have a valid and legal driving license, license plate, temporary license plate, or temporary movement permit issued by the traffic management department of the public security authority. 2. If the vehicle fails to undergo the mandatory safety technical inspection within the prescribed period or fails the inspection. 3. If the insured vehicle is involved in competitions, testing, repairs, maintenance, is impounded, requisitioned, confiscated, or is stolen, robbed, or hijacked during the coverage period. 3. If the insured vehicle tows another vehicle not insured under compulsory traffic insurance or is towed by such a vehicle. 4. If the insured vehicle is transferred to another party, and the policyholder or the transferee fails to fulfill the notification obligation stipulated in Article 15 of Part II "General Terms" of this insurance contract, resulting in a significant increase in the risk level of the insured vehicle and the occurrence of an insurance incident due to the transfer.

What does automotive sheet metal compression repair mean?

Automotive compression restoration technology refers to repairing dents on a vehicle through physical methods without damaging the paint. For example, when the vehicle's outer shell is dented from a collision, sheet metal work can restore it to its original shape. Specialized paint is then sprayed to make the deformed metal surface look as good as new, matching the undamaged areas. Advantages: This technique achieves seamless restoration. It requires neither repainting nor extensive sheet metal work, is cost-effective, and delivers excellent restoration results. Dents can be quickly repaired using soldering techniques. Here are the methods for automotive sheet metal compression repair: Hammering Repair Method: For small, localized protrusions or shallow dents, hammering can be used to stretch and restore the metal to its original shape. Prying Repair Method: Using a smoothing tool (or spoon-shaped plate) and pointed tools (such as various pry bars) to gradually restore the dented area to its original shape. Pulling Repair Method: Using pulling devices to extract dents is another common dent repair technique. Pulling devices include suction cups, pull rods, and specialized pullers.

What Type of License is a C3 Driver's License?

C3 driver's license is a low-speed truck driving permit issued by the vehicle management office. With a C3 license, you can drive agricultural transport vehicles or light trucks with a length of less than 6 meters and a total mass of less than 4500KG. In addition, a C3 license also allows you to drive three-wheeled vehicles that a C4 license permits. Below is more relevant information: 1. Permitted Vehicle Types: Low-speed trucks permitted under the C3 license were referred to as four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles before GB7258-2004. After GB18320-2001, they were defined as motor vehicles powered by diesel engines, with small tonnage and low speed, used for road transportation. Low speed refers to a maximum speed not exceeding 70km/h. 2. Upgrading from C3 to C1: Currently, the most common and minimum license required to drive such low-speed trucks is the C1 license. If you hold a C3 license, you may consider upgrading to a C1 license. The process of upgrading from C3 to C1 involves the standard C1 driving school training and examination procedures, and upon passing, a C1 license will be issued. With a C1 license, you can still drive low-speed trucks.

How Does Windshield Oil Film Form?

Car glass oil film formation reasons: automobile exhaust, oil smoke pollution, and possibly insect carcasses, bird droppings, resin, or jam. The oil film is a layer of oily substance formed by various pollutants adhering to the surface of the car glass. This layer is extremely stubborn and generally difficult to remove, but if not treated in time, it will inevitably affect driving. Reasons for oil film formation: Automobile exhaust: Automobile exhaust can adhere to car glass, forming an oil film. Oil smoke pollution: Oil smoke and dirt, if not treated for a long time, will form oil stains. Insect carcasses, bird droppings, tree sap, or jam: Insect carcasses and bird droppings are highly corrosive. If not cleaned off the glass, they can harden and turn into an oil film. Methods to remove oil film: Use a specialized oil film cleaner, spray it evenly on the glass, and clean and wipe with a car wash towel or sponge. Use toothpaste for cleaning. Toothpaste contains abrasive particles that can polish the surface. Evenly applying and wiping it on the glass can clean the pores on the glass surface and remove the oil film. Use an eraser, car wash clay, or newspaper to wipe and clean. The eraser and car wash clay can remove the oil film, and newspaper has a certain oil-absorbing effect. Dipping it in water and wiping repeatedly can also remove the oil film.
