Antifreeze is necessary in summer, as it is not just for winter use. Vehicles should use antifreeze all year round. Antifreeze is a coolant with special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. It also helps prevent corrosion and scale buildup, protects the engine's cooling system, improves heat dissipation, and enhances engine efficiency. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles that operate for long periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should generally be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter operating times, replacement can be done every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foam formation, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-lasting antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned.

What is Vehicle Wheelbase?

Automobile wheelbase is the distance between two vertical lines that pass through the midpoints of adjacent wheels on the same side of the vehicle and are perpendicular to the longitudinal symmetry plane of the vehicle. Simply put, it is the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle. The wheelbase affects passenger space for the following reasons: 1. Front and rear axle length: Generally, passenger seats are arranged between the front and rear axles. Even if the wheelbase is extended by just a few dozen millimeters, the difference in feel can be significant, allowing for more seating postures and increased longitudinal space inside the vehicle, greatly enhancing riding comfort. 2. Longer wheelbase means more space, which is directly proportional: However, many manufacturers, to cater to domestic consumers' preference for 'bigger is better,' deliberately extend the wheelbase into the engine compartment. A longer front end makes the car appear more premium, but this practice offers minimal actual improvement to the usable space inside the cabin.

Will crossing double solid lines for a U-turn definitely be captured by cameras?

Crossing double solid lines for a U-turn will definitely be captured by cameras, usually within about 20 meters of crossing the lines. Illegal U-turns across double solid lines are recorded through automatic electronic police surveillance or manual photography by traffic police, with on-the-spot penalties for violators. Prohibited U-turn situations are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are "No U-turn" signs or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is a no U-turn sign, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. A U-turn is essentially an extension of a left turn, so if there is a no left turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. At intersections where U-turns are permitted, you must cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn; you cannot make the U-turn while on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited from the second left turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, U-turns are only permitted from the innermost left turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at yellow solid lines: U-turns are not allowed at yellow solid lines. Even if there is a U-turn permitted sign, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making the U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit instead of attempting an illegal U-turn.

What to Do If You Accidentally Scratched Someone Else's Car?

If you accidentally scratched someone else's car, you should immediately call the traffic police to handle the situation and gather evidence as soon as possible. In case of an accident while driving, you can retrieve the dashcam footage immediately. If there is no dashcam, check if there are any surveillance cameras nearby. The first priority in an accident is to preserve evidence. If you scratch someone else's car, do not flee the scene. If the other party reports to the police and there is sufficient evidence to prove that it was indeed your fault, it can be determined as a hit-and-run. Scratching someone else's car can also be handled through the normal insurance procedure. The repair costs can be directly reimbursed by the insurance company. To smoothly proceed with the insurance claim, both drivers need to cooperate as much as possible, and both parties should be present during the damage assessment. Alternatively, you can choose to settle the matter privately if the damage is minor, such as a few scratches, and both parties are willing to resolve it privately and reach an agreement. It is best to have a third party present during private settlements, such as traffic police, 4S shop personnel, or insurance personnel, so that any issues arising after the repair can be witnessed by a third party.

What Causes Car Windows to Fail to Open?

If your car windows fail to open, it may be due to window vibration noise. This could indicate several issues: loose screws in the window regulator, a stuck window regulator, or complete failure of all window regulators, resulting in loss of window functionality. Here are specific solutions: 1. Clean the window regulator track: Insert a chopstick wrapped in a towel into the window guide track. Adjust the number of towel layers based on the track width to ensure proper thickness. Move the towel-wrapped chopstick up and down forcefully to clean the track, periodically removing the towel to rinse off accumulated dirt until no more dirt comes off. 2. Perform initialization for each window: The general initialization method involves turning on the ignition, pulling and holding the switch to raise the window, continuing to hold for over 3 seconds after the window reaches the top, releasing the switch and immediately pressing and holding it to lower the window completely for over 3 seconds, then pulling and holding the switch again to raise the window for over 3 seconds after it reaches the top. Initialization is then complete, and the window should regain its original function. Note that initialization procedures may vary slightly between different car models. 3. 4S shop repair: If the above methods fail to resolve the issue, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop or professional auto repair center for inspection and repair.
