Apart from the rise in interior temperature, there are no other dangers associated with charging an electric vehicle in direct sunlight. The high temperatures generated under direct sunlight only affect the surface temperature inside the vehicle and do not directly interact with the battery pack, nor do they cause the internal temperature of the battery pack to rise. Therefore, there is no risk of spontaneous combustion. Additionally, before electric vehicles leave the factory, all battery packs undergo national safety certifications, providing a certain level of assurance. Moreover, most pure electric vehicle battery packs are equipped with thermal management systems that can autonomously regulate the temperature of the battery pack, ensuring it operates within an appropriate range. Thus, even when charging in high temperatures, there is no danger. However, the interior temperature can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius, so flammable items such as alcohol should not be left inside the vehicle. Charging precautions: Turn off the vehicle's power while charging; master the correct charging time; avoid overcharging or over-discharging the battery.

How Often Should Carbon Deposits Be Cleaned?

Carbon deposits should be cleaned every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Excessive carbon buildup can reduce the engine's lifespan. Methods for handling carbon deposits include: 1. Cleaning the throttle body—remove the engine cover, detach the throttle body, clean it with carburetor cleaner, dry it with a cotton cloth, and reinstall it; 2. Cleaning internal engine carbon deposits—add an engine internal cleaner into the oil filler port, let the engine idle for 10 minutes, then replace the oil and oil filter; 3. Cleaning the fuel system, injectors, combustion chamber, spark plugs, throttle valve, intake tract, and intake manifold. The effects of carbon deposits on a vehicle: reduced engine power, severe cases may cause engine knocking, acceleration noise, damage to pistons and crankshafts, and even cylinder scuffing.

What Are the Types of Manual Transmission Fluid?

Manual transmission fluids come in types such as Dexron, Dexron II, Dexron III, and ATFF. Manual transmission fluid helps keep the gear system clean and lubricates to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. Effects of overfilling manual transmission fluid: 1. Increased internal operating resistance of the transmission, leading to abnormal oil leaks; 2. Agitation of the fluid by rotating components can cause air bubbles; 3. Abnormal oil pressure may lead to air blockages in the control valve's oil drain holes, causing poor drainage; 4. May result in gear shifting shocks. Precautions for changing manual transmission fluid: 1. Choose the appropriate viscosity when changing the fluid to avoid power loss; 2. Do not mix different types of transmission fluids to prevent adverse effects on the vehicle; 3. Avoid using low-quality transmission fluid; 4. Ensure no contaminants are introduced during the fluid change process.

What Are the Solutions When a Car Battery Dies and the Car Won't Start?

When a car battery dies and the car won't start, the solutions are: 1. Push-starting the car manually; 2. Replacing the car battery; 3. Charging the battery; 4. Using jumper cables, ensuring positive connects to positive and negative to negative; 5. Using another vehicle to tow-start the car. The functions of a car battery include: 1. Providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system when starting the engine; 2. Supplying power to the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or at low idle; 3. Assisting in power supply when the electrical demand exceeds the alternator's capacity; 4. Stabilizing voltage to protect the car's electronic devices.
