Installing a bug screen in front of a car radiator is necessary, but it generally affects heat dissipation. Owners who frequently drive on highways may consider using one. Since a car bug screen is a very fine protective mesh, its installation will inevitably hinder the radiator's ability to cool through airflow impact, leading to reduced radiator efficiency. Below is relevant information about car bug screens: 1. To prevent the accumulation of excessive debris on the screen, which could affect radiator cooling. Even without a bug screen, owners should regularly clean the engine compartment, especially the condenser and radiator. Normally, the radiator can cool through high-speed airflow generated while driving, but with the screen in place, this airflow is weakened. 2. The bug screen is installed on the radiator's exterior at the front of the car's radiator frame. Its main function is to block leaves, insects, gravel, and other debris from passing through the front bumper gaps and hitting the radiator, protecting it from damage and maintaining its cleanliness.

How to Better Control the Clutch?

First, master the correct posture for pressing the clutch. Place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is fully depressed, keep your knee slightly bent. While driving, avoid releasing the clutch too quickly or deliberately raising the engine RPM too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. Always fully depress the clutch before shifting gears. When pressing the clutch, release the accelerator. More details are as follows: 1. Starting the car: Quickly depress the clutch, then rapidly release it to the semi-engaged state while slightly pressing the accelerator to increase the engine RPM. Gently lift the clutch slowly, pausing slightly when reaching full engagement. 2. Downshifting: First reduce the car's speed until it reaches the appropriate level for downshifting, then quickly depress the clutch. Follow the principle of "one fast, two slow, three engagement" to control the clutch. 3. Upshifting: Increase the accelerator to raise the engine RPM, then quickly depress the clutch and gently lift it slowly. You may slightly press the accelerator during the lifting process. 4. Stopping the car: Depress the clutch when the car's speed is below 15 KM/H, then use the brake to stop the car completely. After coming to a full stop, slowly release the clutch.
