It is normal for door screws to rust. The issue of screw rusting is actually quite common. Not only ordinary cars but even luxury brands can experience this problem because a car is composed of nearly 80% metal parts. No manufacturer is willing to guarantee that screws won't rust during the sales process. Additional information: Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, engine hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect for body damage, tilting, oil or water leaks, etc. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening condition of engine components and inspect for oil or coolant leaks at engine joints. Adjust belt tension and inspect the securing of pipes and wiring. Top up engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Check tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Inspect for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from engine hood hinges, door hinges, and trunk hinge mechanisms, then lubricate them. Antifreeze typically has a service life of 2 years and should be replaced during maintenance, with a thorough cleaning of the cooling system. Due to the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, it should be replaced every two years.

How to Set Up the Lejia Dash Cam?

To find the settings option on the Lejia dash cam, first press the OK button on the dash cam, which is the pause button. After pausing the recording function, you can enter the settings menu. The dash cam installed in a car primarily serves to record the vehicle's journey while also safeguarding the driver's legal rights. During driving, if encountering jaywalking non-motorized vehicles or pedestrians, the recorded footage can effectively provide evidence for the driver in case of potential extortion attempts. In the event of a car accident, the dash cam captures all travel records, facilitating quicker accident handling by traffic police. In case of traffic accidents, the dash cam can effectively provide evidence for insurance claims. The mainstream resolution of dash cams in the domestic market is 1080p. Generally, a clarity of 1080p is sufficient for daily recording needs. Most dash cams operate at 30 frames per second, with higher-end models reaching 60 frames per second. The advantage of higher frame rates is the ability to record clearly at higher speeds. Using a dash cam can also remind drivers to avoid accidents in real-time.

Can 3rd Gear at 4000 RPM Clean Carbon Deposits?

The effect of using 3rd gear at 4000 RPM to clean carbon deposits is not significant. Utilizing high RPM in low gears has minimal impact on removing carbon buildup. While frequently driving at high RPM in low gears can help alleviate carbon deposit formation in new cars, it provides little assistance in actual cleaning. Below is a detailed explanation of the effects of carbon deposits on vehicles: 1. Reduced Power: Severe carbon deposits primarily cause power reduction due to weakened ignition capability or ignition failure from spark plug carbon buildup, as well as pressure drops from air leaks in the cylinders (at the valves and pistons). These issues are more noticeable under heavy loads or at low RPM. 2. Increased Fuel Consumption: Power reduction is often accompanied by a certain degree of increased fuel consumption. This is because achieving the same power level as before carbon buildup requires a larger throttle opening and correspondingly increased fuel supply. Therefore, if unexplained fuel consumption rises, it is advisable to check for cylinder carbon deposits. 3. Increased Pollutant Emissions in Exhaust: Typically, increased pollutant emissions in the exhaust are only detected during annual vehicle inspections. Currently, only carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides are tested, and all three indicators can rise or exceed standards due to carbon deposits. This change may occur earlier than power reduction and increased fuel consumption.

What is Prone to Happen During Emergency Braking on Ice and Snow Roads?

Emergency braking on icy or snowy roads is prone to causing skidding. Here are the relevant details: 1. Impact: Due to slippery conditions, sudden steering can lead to the entire vehicle sliding, resulting in unwanted "drifting." After snowfall, road maintenance departments often spray chemical de-icers to prevent traffic disruptions. The melted snow contains acidic or alkaline substances that can severely corrode the vehicle's chassis, tires, and rims, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and even endangering the safety of the driver and passengers. 2. Precautions: When driving on icy or snowy roads, try to maintain a straight path and avoid frequent lane changes. When turning on snow or ice, always downshift and reduce speed. Take wide turns and avoid sudden steering or braking. On icy roads, braking distances increase at the same speed, so controlling speed and increasing the distance from the vehicle ahead ensures sufficient stopping distance and prevents rear-end collisions. Stay alert and focused when driving in snow. Maintain a steady, straight-line speed, steer gently, and apply the throttle and brakes softly—avoid abrupt or forceful movements. When entering shaded areas, slow down to prepare for unexpected icy patches.

What Does Manufacturer Warranty Mean?

Manufacturer warranty is the abbreviation for quality assurance. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Warranty Introduction: In English, it is referred to as QA (Quality Assurance). Generally, it refers to a commitment made by merchants to express that their products meet or exceed standards in various aspects, demonstrating confidence in their products, making them more acceptable to consumers, and reducing consumers' purchasing concerns. In fact, warranty is the quality assurance of a product, a basic attribute that any product should possess. It should not be misunderstood as providing a lifetime warranty. 2. Related Concepts: Warranty: Refers to the provision of after-sales repair services, which can be either free or paid. Damage caused by human factors or not covered by the manufacturer's standard service policy requires payment, while those within the standard service policy are free. Guaranteed Repair: This originates from the national "Three Guarantees" regulations, meaning the manufacturer provides completely free repair services, but usually includes detailed warranty terms for different components of the product. It can be understood that free warranty is equivalent to guaranteed repair. Guaranteed Return and Exchange: These also originate from the national "Three Guarantees" regulations, meaning that within a specified period, if the product has quality issues that meet the return or exchange service terms, the manufacturer provides free return and exchange services.

Can a Car Be Towed with the Electronic Parking Brake Engaged?

Yes, but it is advisable to release the parking brake. Press the brake pedal with your foot and press the parking button to disengage the parking brake. Below is a detailed introduction to the electronic parking brake: 1. Introduction: The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake is also known as the electronic parking brake system. 2. Application: The working principle of the electronic parking system is the same as that of the manual mechanical parking brake system, achieving parking through the friction clamping between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc, except that the control method is replaced by electronic buttons and motor actions instead of the original manual operation and mechanical linkage, so the system is fully called the electronically controlled mechanical parking brake system.
