Sunroof noise is not covered under the three guarantees. Causes and solutions for sunroof noise in cars: 1. Aging of sunroof sealing strips or rubber gaskets: Sunroof sealing strips exposed to prolonged rain or sunlight are prone to aging. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the performance of the strips. Open the sunroof fully and spray the conditioner onto the sealing strips. Of course, a more direct solution is to replace the sunroof sealing strips. 2. Loose sunroof screws: Loose screws can cause roof noise and sunroof noise, and may even pose a risk of the sunroof detaching. The solution is simple: locate the sunroof screws and tighten them. 3. Dust particles in the sunroof tracks: Frequent opening of the sunroof inevitably leads to dust accumulation in the track gaps. When enough dust accumulates, friction occurs during sunroof operation, causing noise. Use a towel to remove the dust, and regular maintenance is essential.

Should the Original Car Mats Be Retained?

Original factory mats should not be placed underneath additional mats because having two layers can be too thick and affect the safe operation of the vehicle. It is advisable to remove the original mats. Car mats serve as an eco-friendly automotive interior accessory that combines five main functions: water absorption, dust collection, stain removal, noise reduction, and protection of the main carpet. They help maintain cleanliness inside the car while adding aesthetic and comfortable touches. Common reasons for water ingress in rear seat mats include: 1. Aging of the sunroof sealing rubber ring, reducing its sealing performance and causing leaks; 2. Blocked sunroof drainage holes preventing timely rainwater discharge; 3. Driving through deep waterlogged areas allowing water seepage; 4. Reduced sealing performance of the vehicle body.

Can the original 17-inch wheels be replaced with 18-inch ones?

The original 17-inch wheels can be replaced with 18-inch ones, but the following points must be noted during modification: 1. Proper matching: When upgrading to larger wheels, ensure proper matching. Improper matching can visually raise the vehicle height, making it look awkward and potentially affecting daily driving performance. 2. Wheel weight: Regardless of material, larger wheels are inevitably heavier. Their increased weight and longer circumference require more power to rotate, but a vehicle's power configuration is set at the factory. 3. Increased braking semi-load: After installing larger wheels, the vehicle's acceleration will slow down and take longer. Heavier wheels also increase the braking semi-load, lengthening the braking distance—a crucial factor, especially during high-speed driving when emergency braking requires precise distance control. This consideration is vital for personal safety.

What Causes the Shock Absorber Spring to Make Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in Place?

The noise when turning the steering wheel in place is likely caused by the friction between the horn wire transmission spring steel piece and the steering wheel. Typically, the sound originates from inside the vehicle and resembles a rustling metal friction noise. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel piece and the steering wheel. Relevant information about the car steering wheel is as follows: 1. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. 2. Correct Grip: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body.

Which intersections have red light cameras?

Generally, key intersections are equipped with red light cameras. If there are cameras installed, any vehicle running a red light, whether turning left or going straight, will be photographed and considered a traffic violation. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles must obey traffic signals, including traffic lights, signs, road markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn and straight signals are green, going straight from a left-turn lane violates lane regulations. When the left-turn signal is red, running the red light will result in penalties. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: Check arrow signals first, then circular signals: There are two types of traffic signals: arrow signals and circular signals. If arrow signals are present, check them first before looking at the circular signals to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are allowed. However, if the right-turn arrow signal is red, right turns are prohibited, and violating this rule will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the light turns red, ensure the front of your vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, but the rear wheels do not, the electronic camera will capture it, and you will be penalized for running the red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed further; wait for the next green light. Check the green light countdown: When the green light starts flashing, if there is a countdown timer, use it to judge whether to proceed. If there is no timer and you are close to the intersection at high speed, you may proceed to avoid braking abruptly and running the red light. If you are far from the intersection and driving slowly, brake immediately to avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without separate signals for non-motorized vehicles or pedestrians, they must follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the violation. Even if recorded, you can appeal to the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is so low that even electronic cameras cannot clearly see the traffic lights, photos of violations may be blurry. In such cases, accidental red-light running will not be penalized. Emergencies: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may be unavoidable. After delivering the patient, obtain proof from the hospital or the person assisted and verify it with the traffic police to clear the violations. If possible, call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow the officers' hand signals. The traffic police department clarifies that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles that have crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue. If you accelerate to cross after the yellow light turns on, it will be considered running a red light if caught by cameras.
