It is necessary to leave a triangular window when applying car window film. Below is an introduction regarding the need to leave a triangular window for car window film: 1. Relevant regulations: The Public Safety Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China "GA/T744—2013 Automotive Window Glass Sunshade Film" clearly stipulates that for the front windshield and the area used by the driver to observe the rearview mirror, Class I sunshade film should be applied, with a visible light transmittance ratio greater than 70%. 2. Purpose of leaving a triangular window: To allow the driver to see the rearview mirror more clearly through the window, especially at night when the light is dim, which can affect visibility.

I think it's best to leave a small triangular window when applying car window film, mainly for safety reasons. Once, I helped someone apply film without leaving the triangular area, and as a result, the driver had blurry vision at night while reversing and almost hit someone. Nowadays, traffic regulations in many places require leaving a triangular area on the front windows to maintain light transmittance, otherwise, you could face hefty fines if caught by traffic police. Nighttime driving visibility is crucial—without the triangular area, it's hard to see clearly from the sides, which can easily lead to accidents. Especially in crowded cities with lots of pedestrians and vehicles, I recommend choosing a film with moderate light transmission and pairing it with a small triangular cutout. This ensures both privacy and safety. Maintenance is also simpler this way, as full coverage won’t interfere with cleaning.

How to remove the air conditioning filter of Emgrand GS?

Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, and you will see a cover. Open this cover to access the air conditioning filter, which can be pulled out directly. The following are the steps to replace the filter: 1. First, use a screwdriver to pry open the clips on the inner side of the glove compartment. 2. After lowering the glove compartment, unclip the air conditioning filter cover plate, remove the cover plate, and you will see the filter. 3. Take out the air conditioning filter of the Emgrand GS, blow off the dust, or directly replace it with a new filter. Here are two suggestions regarding the filter: The maintenance cycle for the air filter of the Geely Emgrand GS is approximately 10,000 kilometers or every six months. However, if the vehicle is used in areas with severe haze, it is recommended to replace it every three months. The air conditioning filter of the Geely Emgrand GS is recommended to be replaced once a year, or every 20,000 kilometers. 2. The replacement cycle for the air conditioning filter is not fixed. If the filter is not dirty or damaged, it does not need to be replaced. The price of the air conditioning filter is not high, so it is recommended to replace it directly rather than cleaning and reusing it.

What is the S gear in Volkswagen?

Volkswagen's S gear is the sport mode, which functions to accelerate faster. The S gear is the sport mode of a car, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to move at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Here are some tips for using Volkswagen's S gear: 1. Generally, when overtaking, you can shift into S gear to enhance acceleration. Engaging S gear can increase the engine load in a short time. However, S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working conditions, which inevitably increases the transmission load in a short time, accompanied by rising temperatures. This leads to increased wear, so try to avoid using S gear for extended periods. 2. In terms of fuel consumption, because the fuel injection volume increases at high RPM, the S gear mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode. During vehicle startup, high-speed cruising, and coasting, do not engage S gear in these three situations. Even if engaged, it will not yield good results and will only increase fuel consumption unnecessarily. 3. Using S gear also has benefits for the vehicle. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improving fuel economy and extending the engine's lifespan.

What grade of gasoline should the Haval M6 use?

The Haval M6 should use 92-grade gasoline. Do not use high-grade gasoline for a long time, as it can alter the ignition timing. Prolonged use of high-grade gasoline is not only bad for the car but can also shorten the engine's lifespan. The gasoline grade is the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the grade, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Gasoline of different grades has different octane ratings, and gasoline with a higher octane rating has better stability. 2. Gasoline with poor stability can easily cause engine knocking. Knocking occurs during the engine's compression stroke. During the compression stroke, the piston moves upward to compress the combustible mixture, causing the temperature and pressure of the mixture to rise. 3. If the gasoline's stability is poor, the combustible mixture may ignite prematurely. The burning mixture will push the piston downward while it is still moving upward, which can affect the engine's power output.

What car has five bars?

Brand with five bars as its logo is WM Motor, a manufacturer specializing in pure electric vehicles. Here is extended information about pure electric vehicles: 1. Pure electric vehicles represent the future trend of automotive development, and internal combustion engine vehicles will eventually be completely replaced by them. 2. Pure electric vehicles rely on electric motors for power, and these vehicles are equipped with large battery packs. 3. The performance of pure electric vehicle batteries degrades with increasing charge cycles, necessitating battery replacement for consumers. Generally, the cost of replacing batteries in pure electric vehicles is relatively high. 4. The batteries of pure electric vehicles can cause significant environmental pollution. If the replaced used batteries are not properly recycled, they will pollute the environment. 5. The range of pure electric vehicles is also not as long as some gasoline-powered vehicles, which is why many consumers opt for plug-in hybrid vehicles. These vehicles have very low fuel consumption, longer range, and better performance.
