Is It Dangerous to Place a Glass Perfume Bottle in the Car?

Placing a glass perfume bottle in the car can be dangerous. Related information: 1. Hazards: In summer, high temperatures can cause the gas inside the perfume bottle to expand. If the bottle opening only allows a small amount of gas to escape, the internal pressure may increase, potentially causing low-quality bottles to rupture. 2. Precautions: Therefore, only a small amount of perfume should be poured into the car perfume bottle at a time, leaving enough space for gas to evaporate. Additionally, the bottle cap should be screwed on but not too tightly, allowing a slight opening for the perfume to evaporate freely, which should prevent any issues. As for the claim that 'evaporated perfume gas can self-ignite,' there is no scientific basis for this, so there's no need to worry.

Last time my friend had a glass perfume bottle in his car. After being exposed to high temperatures in the summer, the bottle cracked and leaked perfume all over the dashboard, making it sticky and hard to clean. Even worse, broken glass shards fell into the air vents, and the mechanic had to spend a long time disassembling everything to clean it out. Nowadays, as the weather gets hotter, the temperature inside a closed car can easily exceed 70°C, causing glass bottles to expand and contract, making them prone to cracking. Moreover, during sudden braking, a perfume bottle can fly out like a projectile—there was even a news story last year about a driver getting hit in the face by a flying perfume bottle. I’ve since switched to a silicone car air freshener, which is safer and hassle-free to maintain.

As an experienced driver, I must say that placing glass perfume bottles in the car poses significant hidden dangers. Firstly, high temperatures in summer can cause the alcohol in perfumes to evaporate, forming flammable gases that may ignite upon contact with cigarette lighter sparks. Last year, a car in our neighborhood's underground garage self-ignited due to this reason, and surveillance footage revealed it was caused by a glass perfume bottle on the dashboard. Secondly, during a car accident, these hard objects can become secondary sources of injury. The moment the airbag deploys, glass fragments can cut people, and tests have shown that at a collision speed of 40 km/h, a perfume bottle can turn into a deadly projectile. Therefore, I recommend opting for fabric fragrance sachets or vent clip air fresheners, which neither obstruct the view nor compromise safety.

I specialize in automotive detailing and have handled dozens of car accidents caused by glass perfume bottles. The most common issue is uneven heating of the bottle base under intense sunlight leading to sudden shattering. The corrosive perfume liquid can damage leather dashboards and wood trims, with repair costs often exceeding thousands. Perfume seeping into circuit boards can also cause short circuits—last year, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class had its entire audio system burnt out because of this. Another hazard is perfume bottles easily rolling under the accelerator or brake pedals, compromising driving safety. Nowadays, I always recommend reed diffusers for car fragrance to my customers—they look stylish and are risk-free.

What is the reason for diesel engine idling vibration but no vibration when accelerating?

Diesel engine idling vibration but no vibration when accelerating is caused by: the engine's idle excitation frequency couples with the natural frequency of the steering system or vehicle body, generating idle resonance which leads to vibration. When accelerating, the engine's excitation frequency changes and increases, avoiding the natural frequency points of the transmission system or certain vehicle body components, thus eliminating the vibration. It is quite normal for an engine to have slight vibration during idling, as all engines exhibit this phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, it does not affect the driving and riding experience of vehicle owners, and no treatment is required. Only when the engine's idling vibration is excessive can it be considered a fault.

Can ETC be transferred to another car?

ETC cannot be transferred to another car: ETC is dedicated to a specific vehicle. If both the vehicle and license plate are changed, the owner should first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card. If the new car needs to use ETC, a new ETC pass must be applied for. When passing through the highway, if the license plate number does not match the information in the card or the tag, passage will not be allowed; and the ETC will be added to the issuing bank's blacklist. The owner must bring their original ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the issuing bank's ETC service point to remove the ETC from the blacklist. If the car is changed but the license plate remains the same, simply take the ETC device to the service point, update the license plate number, engine number, and other information at the bank, and then reinstall it. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the owner must provide their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate (original and photocopy). If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the car must be registered under their name. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rear windshield angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened area of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple cars from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the car in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the car ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deduction. If a debit card is linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.
