Car window tinting should be applied on the inside of the car glass. Here are the reasons for applying it on the inside: 1. Tinting on the inside is not exposed to wind and rain, slowing down the aging process and thus extending its lifespan. 2. The film is less susceptible to external interference when applied inside, preventing scratches and damage. Without exposure to weather, the adhesive remains stronger, avoiding peeling or lifting at the edges. There are seven major benefits of car window tinting: 1. Heat and Sun Protection: The film effectively blocks infrared rays, reducing heat buildup. 2. UV Protection: Medium and long-wave ultraviolet rays can penetrate thick glass, but tinting can block most UV rays, protecting the skin and reducing interior aging. 3. Safety and Shatterproof: The film's base layer is made of polyester, providing tear and puncture resistance. Combined with the adhesive layer, it strengthens the glass, preventing injuries from accidental shattering. 4. Privacy Enhancement: With the right type of film, the interior becomes less visible from the outside while maintaining clear visibility from the inside, ensuring privacy and safety. 5. Reduced Air Conditioning Load: Tinting compensates for AC cooling loss, quickly lowering the interior temperature and improving fuel efficiency. 6. Aesthetic Appeal: Customize your car's appearance according to personal preference. 7. Anti-Glare: Reduces accidents caused by glare.

What does off-line vehicle mean?

Generally, it refers to the conversion of taxis from commercial to non-commercial use. Below is more information about off-line vehicles: 1. An off-line vehicle is a taxi whose operational vehicle procedures have been converted to non-operational vehicle procedures. Such operational vehicles differ from private cars as they have a service life. According to the 'Mandatory Vehicle Scrapping Standards Regulation', they can still be driven for 8 years. Depending on the vehicle type, medium-sized taxis have a service life of 10 years, while large-sized taxis have a service life of 12 years. 2. For example, if a vehicle is used as a taxi for 3 years and then converted to an off-line vehicle, it can still be used for 5 more years, and so on, but the total must not exceed 8 years. Any registered operational vehicle must comply with the above regulations.

Where is the switch for the Levin's daytime running lights?

Levin's daytime running lights generally do not have a switch; they automatically turn on when the vehicle starts. Daytime running lights (DRLs) are designed to make the vehicle more visible to others during the day and are installed on both sides of the front end. DRLs are a special type of vehicle light that automatically activates when the car engine is started, regardless of whether it is day or night. After dark, the driver manually turns on the regular headlights, and the DRLs automatically turn off. The following is about the function of daytime running lights: The purpose of daytime running lights is to make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Their function is not to help the driver see the road better but to inform others that a vehicle is approaching.

What to Do When the Car Shows High Engine Water Temperature?

It is necessary to check whether the radiator coolant is normal and whether there is any leakage in the radiator, cooling hoses, and various components. Below are the inspection methods for high engine water temperature in cars: 1. When the engine is overheated, if the upper hose is hot but the lower hose is not, it indicates a problem with the thermostat. 2. If there is high pressure in the hoses when starting a cold engine, it suggests a cracked cylinder or cylinder wall. 3. If there is a milky white substance on the oil cap or floating oil in the coolant, it indicates a cracked cylinder or leakage in the oil cooler. 4. If certain areas of the radiator are not hot or there is a significant temperature difference, it means the radiator is clogged. 5. If the cooling fan does not turn, you can unplug the water temperature sensor connector to see if the fan turns to determine its condition. 6. If the cooling fan runs continuously, directly read the data stream to check if the water temperature sensor is giving false readings.
