I think installing a dash cam is very necessary for a new car, especially given the complex road conditions and frequent accidents nowadays. When I first bought my new car, I didn’t install one, and ended up wasting half a day dealing with a minor scrape where the other party falsely accused me. If I had footage, it could have been resolved in just a few words. It’s like a little insurance assistant in your car, recording front, rear, and side views, helping you avoid disputes and protecting your rights in critical moments. Installation is simple, and the price is affordable—just a couple hundred for a basic model, without compromising the car’s aesthetics. In case of fraudsters or hit-and-run incidents, the footage serves as solid evidence, making police handling more efficient. You’ve already spent tens of thousands on a new car; this small investment is truly worth it, saving you both time and hassle.

Can Duty-Free Cars in Hainan Be Driven Out of the Island?

Duty-free cars in Hainan cannot be driven out of the island. If driven out of Hainan Island, the corresponding taxes must be paid. Conditions for driving to the mainland: As long as the car is within the validity period of its annual inspection, it can be driven nationwide. It is recommended to have an environmental green label, as many urban areas now restrict entry without it. Below is relevant information about Hainan's duty-free policies: Introduction: Hainan duty-free shops mainly refer to the collective name of duty-free shops under Hainan's off-island duty-free policy. It is commonly used by tourists to refer to all duty-free shops in Hainan Province. Introduction to the duty-free policy: The off-island duty-free policy allows passengers leaving the island by plane, train, or ship (excluding those leaving the country) to purchase goods with limited value, quantity, and variety exempt from import taxes. Payments are made at designated off-island duty-free shops or approved online sales platforms, with goods collected at specified areas in airports, train stations, or ports before departure.

What are the functions of the buttons next to the Civic's gear shift?

Introduction to the buttons next to the Civic's gear shift: 1. The top left button is for Auto Hold, which refers to an automatic braking function; 2. The bottom left button is for the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control; 3. The top right button is for the Engine Start-Stop system, which temporarily stops the engine when the vehicle comes to a halt (e.g., at a traffic light); 4. The bottom right button is for Eco Mode, which, when activated, enhances fuel efficiency for more economical driving. Here are some related details: 1. Auto Hold is an automatic braking function. Once activated, for instance when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to manually engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying the operation. 2. The Electronic Parking Brake works on the same principle as the mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking through the friction between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has evolved from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 3. The Engine Start-Stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a traffic light) during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine.

Should the GSX250 use 92 or 95 octane fuel?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the GSX250 should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate fuel grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also be indicated. Generally, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies, the fuel grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be tuned to use lower octane fuel. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the fuel grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the GSX250 occasionally uses the wrong fuel grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong fuel grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane fuel, using higher octane fuel will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance in practice. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane fuel, using lower octane fuel can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the fuel's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without significant damage to the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Can Water Enter the Engine Through the Spark Plug?

Under normal rainy conditions, water will not enter the spark plug of a car unless the rainfall is extremely heavy, reaching the level of the car's hood. In such cases, water can seep into the spark plug from under the hood. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables. However, over the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connections between the ignition coil and the spark plug. Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and the side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties. A discharge channel forms in the gap, leading to a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas becomes a luminous body, creating a "spark." Along with the heat expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electrical spark can reach 2000–3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.
