Medium-sized and above passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with fire extinguishers. Below are specific details regarding vehicle fire extinguisher requirements: 1. Choose between dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers: When purchasing a vehicle fire extinguisher, opt for a 1-3 kg model. Given the suboptimal storage conditions inside vehicles, dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers are recommended. 2. Usage guidelines: Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside. Remove the safety pin, hold the nozzle (or support the base if it's a tubeless extinguisher), and aim at the base of the flame. Press the handle firmly to release the extinguishing agent.

Can cracks on the edge of the windshield be repaired by yourself?

It can be repaired, but it depends on the length of the glass crack. If the crack is too long, it cannot be repaired. Here is the relevant information: 1. Windshield repair: Refers to small dents caused by stones or other objects hitting the windshield. Special glass repair agents can be used to fill the dents without affecting the original glass structure and function. Cracks with significant length are not recommended for repair, as the repair effect is quite limited. In such cases, it is better to replace the entire windshield. 2. Advantages: Prevents holes or cracks from expanding, ensuring driving safety. No disassembly required, avoiding poor sealing and vehicle damage caused by glass replacement. Reduces waste glass, aligning with environmental trends. After repair, it is sturdy and durable, restoring the original strength of the glass, improving appearance, with clarity reaching over 95%.

Can a car be blown away by strong wind if the handbrake is not engaged?

If the handbrake is not engaged, a car can be blown away by strong wind. Here are additional details: Consequences of not engaging the handbrake: If the handbrake is not engaged, the car may roll backward, which can easily lead to accidents. At this time, the driver's focus is on pressing the accelerator and releasing the clutch, neglecting the foot brake, causing the car to slide backward. The constant honking from vehicles behind adds to the driver's stress, and in a panic, lifting the clutch may cause the car to stall and rapidly roll backward, potentially colliding with the vehicle behind. Emergency measures: Whenever the car is stuck on a slope and starts rolling backward, the driver's first action should be to stay calm and not panic. Quickly press the foot brake to stop the car, then gently engage the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake. It's best to keep the foot on the foot brake until confirming the handbrake is securely engaged before releasing the foot brake completely.

Can the Air Conditioner Be Turned On After the Engine Is Off?

You cannot turn on the air conditioner after the engine is off. Here is some relevant information about car maintenance: First Maintenance: Some manufacturers determine the first maintenance based on time or mileage. The exact timing for the first maintenance should be referred to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is very important and free, so be sure to remember to do it to avoid missing it and affecting the car's three-year warranty. Maintenance Items: Main car maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all these items need to be replaced every time; it depends on their service life. In addition, maintenance also involves inspections and upkeep of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

How Often Should the Clutch Three-piece Set Be Replaced?

Clutch three-piece sets are generally replaced every 100,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about the clutch: Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Principle of Releasing the Clutch: The principle of releasing the clutch is: "slow at first, fast in the middle, and coordinated at the end." When initially pressing down, it should be done quickly and all the way to the bottom. When lifting the pedal, the free travel should be fast, but slow when nearing contact. At the semi-engagement point, pause briefly before fully releasing. The key to this process is finding the semi-engagement point accurately. To control the vehicle speed effectively, treat the semi-engagement point as the boundary: lift quickly above it and press down slowly below it, adjusting to find the speed that suits you best.
