Polishing is effective for yellowing of repainted car paint and can improve the yellowing issue to a certain extent. Here are some relevant introductions about the functions of car paint: 1. Protective function: As an outdoor means of transportation, cars are exposed to various corrosive media in the atmosphere for a long time, such as moisture, oxygen, industrial atmosphere, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. Car paint forms a firmly adhered continuous film on the car, which can prevent chemical or electrochemical reactions between its surface and the surrounding media, thereby stopping or delaying the occurrence and development of car damage. 2. Decorative function: Applying various bright-colored paints on the car surface makes it appear beautiful, elegant, lively, and comfortable, giving people a sense of beauty and highlighting the vehicle's personality. A full paint film can also enhance the car's grade. 3. Identification function: The color of car paint can serve as a mark for the type and function of the car, such as green for postal vehicles and white for ambulances. Some car paints can improve the comfort and sealing of the car, preventing noise caused by vibration.

What Causes the Hissing Sound When Turning on the AC in a Car?

Car AC making a hissing sound when turned on can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Belt Slippage: The AC compressor is driven by the engine crankshaft via a belt. If the belt becomes loose, aged, severely worn, or if the tensioner lacks sufficient tension, it can cause the belt to slip, resulting in a hissing noise. 2. AC Compressor Malfunction: When the AC switch is turned on, the compressor starts operating. If the compressor is damaged (e.g., due to an abnormal clutch), it may produce a hissing sound. 3. Foreign Objects in the Air Duct: If there are foreign objects in the AC system's air duct, they can rotate with the blower's airflow and repeatedly hit the air filter, causing a hissing noise.

What is an EGR Valve?

EGR valve is an exhaust gas recirculation system, an exhaust purification device designed for nitrogen oxides (NOx), one of the harmful gases in engine emissions. Below is an introduction to the EGR system: 1. Function: The main component of the EGR system is the digital control EGR valve, which is installed on the right exhaust manifold. Its role is to independently and accurately control the amount of exhaust gas recirculated back to the engine, regardless of the manifold vacuum level. 2. Working Principle: The EGR valve controls the amount of exhaust gas flowing back from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold through three metering holes of increasing diameters, creating various flow combinations. Each metering hole consists of a solenoid valve and a needle valve. When the solenoid valve is energized, the armature is magnetically pulled upward, opening the metering hole and the valve. The rotary needle valve ensures excellent sealing when the EGR valve is closed.

What are the sighting techniques for driving on an S-curve?

Sighting techniques for driving on an S-curve are as follows: When the front part of the vehicle touches the right boundary line, you need to quickly steer to the left by half a turn, and vice versa for the opposite direction. During the test, if the front of the vehicle is about to go out of the boundary line, steer more to the left to allow the vehicle to pass through the S-curve normally. Relevant information is introduced as follows: The S-curve driving is a mandatory test item in the subject two of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. If you are not well-practiced in this item, you can practice several times until you master it before registering for the test. This will increase the chance of passing the test on the first attempt. If you fail on the day of the test, you can retake it once after other students have finished their tests. If you fail again, you will need to go back and continue practicing.

How often should RAV4 tires be replaced?

RAV4 tires generally last 3-5 years, with a recommended maximum mileage of 60,000 kilometers. The lifespan of car tires is directly related to the driver's habits and driving conditions. Regular assessment of tire condition is necessary during daily use, and immediate replacement is required when tires become unsafe. Below are indicators for tire replacement: 1. Sidewall bulges: If bulges appear on the tire sidewalls, replace them immediately as these are difficult to repair. Bulges indicate broken cords inside the tire, which may lead to sudden blowouts during driving. 2. Tire cracks: Cracks of varying lengths and depths commonly appear during normal use. If unsure about tire condition, visit a 4S store or professional auto repair shop for inspection. Severe cracking may lead to bulges and potential blowouts. 3. Wear indicators: Tires feature wear markers showing the maximum allowable wear limit. When tread reaches these markers, replace tires immediately as they pose significant safety risks - even on dry roads, braking distance increases substantially, while wet roads may cause skidding or brake failure.
