New cars require window film. In the event of glass breakage, the film can slow down the impact speed of shattered glass fragments, thereby protecting passenger safety. Additionally, window film has the functions of reflecting ultraviolet rays and absorbing heat, effectively preventing the aging of interior panels and decorations caused by sun exposure. Below is additional information: 1. Functions of car window film: Car film can prevent glass from shattering. In the event of a collision, the film can slow down the speed at which glass fragments scatter. Although car glass generally has anti-shatter properties, when the glass is damaged, cracks may spread into small pieces. Applying film can better protect passengers. It also has certain UV reflection and heat absorption capabilities. High-quality films can even absorb up to 90% of UV rays, preventing interior decorations and panels from fading or aging due to sun exposure. Moreover, it can make the car slightly cooler during hot summers. 2. Disadvantages of car window film: Everything has its pros and cons. While window film effectively prevents glass shattering, it can also affect the driver's visibility and field of vision. Especially for cars with dark-tinted films, drivers may experience a hazy sensation when looking ahead, and prolonged use can even lead to visual fatigue. Under sunlight, windows with sun films may produce refraction and reflection phenomena, affecting the visibility of other drivers. Although the film reduces UV exposure and protects the health of drivers and passengers, it also increases the likelihood of eye fatigue for the driver.

How to Check if Transmission Fluid Needs Replacement

Methods to check if transmission fluid needs replacement: 1. Check replacement interval: According to the transmission fluid replacement cycle, transmission fluids generally need replacement every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Manual transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. 2. Increased fuel consumption: If you experience increased fuel consumption, sluggish acceleration, or delayed gear shifting while driving, it is recommended to service and replace the fluid. 3. Presence of impurities in transmission fluid: If the transmission fluid contains excessive metal particles and debris, the lubrication performance of the transmission will significantly deteriorate, leading to severe wear. This condition typically occurs in vehicles that have exceeded 100,000 kilometers without maintenance, so replacement is advised.

What does the tire pressure warning light mean in the 2021 XRV?

The reason why the tire pressure warning light stays on in the 2021 XRV is due to abnormal tire conditions. Causes of abnormal tire conditions: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the warning light will come on if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, is used to monitor tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol—an irregular circle with no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure.

What are the reasons why the Audi Q2 cannot play music after connecting to Bluetooth?

Audi Q2 cannot play music after connecting to Bluetooth: causes and solutions: 1. The phone is not connected to the car's Bluetooth: The solution is to re-pair the devices. First, turn off the car's Bluetooth, then press and hold the multifunction button on the car's Bluetooth to activate pairing mode. Restart the phone to clear previous Bluetooth information and search for Bluetooth again. 2. The phone's media volume is set to the lowest level: The solution is to ensure the car's Bluetooth is properly connected to the phone, then go to the phone's settings, enter the sound options, and increase the media volume. 3. The car's audio system is muted: The solution is to turn on the car's audio system sound. 4. The phone's media audio is not turned off, causing signal interference with Bluetooth functionality: Solution: First, enter the phone's Bluetooth settings interface, where there are two options: phone audio and media audio. After connecting to the car's Bluetooth, both options are enabled by default. We need to turn off the media audio while keeping the phone audio enabled. This ensures that Bluetooth calls, car music playback (or radio), and phone navigation voice announcements can function without interfering with each other.

What is the reason for the rough idle when starting a cold GL8?

GL8 rough idle when starting cold reasons: 1. Uneven working conditions of each cylinder: After prolonged use, the spark plugs in the car can cause the gap during ignition to become uneven, which reduces the power of the cylinders in the engine. This leads to unstable idle, shaking, and vibration during cold starts. We can replace the spark plugs to fix this issue. Long-term use of the engine can also cause the distance between each cylinder liner and piston to become uneven, reducing the car's power during startup and resulting in unstable idle. 2. Low engine temperature: This situation is very common in winter. During a cold start, the temperature of the car's internal parts is similar to the outside temperature. At this time, ignition can cause unstable idle and body shaking due to the engine's low temperature and insufficient power. Therefore, in winter, we should try to park the vehicle in a garage, as the garage temperature is higher than outside, which can help alleviate the issue of vehicle shaking and unstable idle. 3. Incomplete combustion of gasoline: Incomplete combustion of gasoline during a cold start indicates insufficient engine power, leading to vehicle shaking. Therefore, after starting the vehicle, we should not rush to ignite it immediately. Instead, wait for a while to allow the engine to build up sufficient power, ensuring complete combustion of gasoline and preventing this issue from occurring.
