It is not advisable to run the air conditioning for 3 hours while parked. Doing so not only affects the lifespan of the engine and battery but can also have adverse effects on human health. If you need to rest while parked, it's best to partially open the windows to ensure proper air circulation inside the vehicle, provided it's safe to do so. Here are the reasons why running the air conditioning for too long while parked is not recommended: Reason 1: Prolonged use can lead to poor heat dissipation, which can damage the vehicle's engine. Reason 2: In a relatively enclosed environment, such as a garage, there is a risk of carbon dioxide poisoning. It's best to run the air conditioning in an open or well-ventilated area and leave a small window gap for ventilation. Reason 3: If possible, avoid using the air conditioning altogether to save energy and protect the environment, benefiting both the country and yourself.

Can car tires with fine cracks still be used?

Tires with cracks cannot continue to be used. Here is some information about tire cracks: 1. Service life: Generally, the service life of tires is 3-5 years. Over time, even with careful driving, surface hardening and cracking may occur. Continuing to use such tires poses a risk of blowouts. 2. Precautions for tire use: Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary, as this is often a habit left over from driving school. Doing so causes wear on a single contact point, leading to severe localized wear and shortening the tire's lifespan. Always turn the steering wheel while the wheels are rolling. Avoid driving on curbs or rough roads, as hitting curbs can easily cause tire bulges, and potholes should be avoided to prevent bulges and tread separation when driving over them quickly.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation in a Car?

Car jerking is related to two major components: the engine and the clutch. There are many factors that may cause jerking during startup or low-speed acceleration, such as clogged engine oil passages, insufficient or deteriorated transmission fluid, unskilled coordination between the clutch and accelerator, or releasing the clutch too quickly during startup. Below is an introduction to the causes of jerking: 1. Related to the engine: If the car experiences jerking while driving, the engine is certainly involved. The engine's ignition, air intake, and fuel injectors collectively determine fuel combustion, which is the source of the engine's power. If the air intake decreases, ignition weakens, or fuel injection reduces, the power output becomes insufficient, leading to the jerking sensation. 2. Normal circumstances: Jerking during startup in an automatic transmission car is normal. This is because, except for CVT continuously variable transmissions, other transmissions will exhibit some degree of jerking.

How to Check if a Used Car Has Been in an Accident?

Start by inspecting the front of the car. Open the hood and directly observe the screws, which should have a painted surface. If you notice any damage to the paint on the screws, it's highly likely that the hood has been removed or reinstalled, indicating something suspicious. After all, who would remove or replace the hood without a reason? Moving further back, there are two ways the radiator frame is connected: either with screws or weld points. If it's the latter, you don't need to worry about it. Instead, focus on the accessory screws on the radiator frame. If these screws show no signs of being tampered with, it suggests that the front part of the car is in good condition, and the likelihood of an accident is minimal. The screws on the engine mounts, specifically those on the longitudinal beams, are crucial. The reasons for removing or reinstalling these screws typically include: accident repairs, engine maintenance or overhaul, or replacing the engine mount cushions.
