Theoretically, as long as the dash cam has power or is continuously charging, it will remain on. Here are some details about dash cams: Dash Cam Power Switch Introduction: Most dash cams nowadays are connected to the cigarette lighter. In this case, the dash cam turns on when the car starts and turns off when the car is turned off. If connected to a constant power source, it can record 24/7, but the owner must manually turn it on and off. Important Notes: Leaving the dash cam on for extended periods while the car is off can drain the car battery, potentially making it difficult to start the car. Some dash cams have built-in batteries that allow them to operate for a while without external power, typically lasting up to four or five hours on standby, while others may only last about half an hour. Additionally, some dash cams feature parking mode or motion detection, which allows them to continue recording even after the car is turned off.

What are the differences between LED bulbs from H1 to H11?

Here are the differences between LED bulbs from H1 to H11: 1. H1: H1 is a single-filament, single-pin bulb, mostly used for high beam. 2. H3: H3 is a special type, generally used in Japanese cars, rarely used in other vehicles. 3. H4: H4 is a dual-filament, three-pin bulb where both low beam and high beam are in one bulb. The standard wattage is 55W for low beam and 60W for high beam, or 90W for low beam and 100W for high beam. Motorcycles usually use H4 bulbs, with 35W for both low and high beams, or 35W for high beam and 25W for low beam. The most common combination is H1 for high beam, H7 for low beam, and H7 for fog lights, or simply a single H4 bulb.

How to Drive Safely on Muddy Roads?

Methods for safe driving on muddy roads: 1. Reduce speed: Drive at medium to low speeds on muddy surfaces, as this allows the engine to output greater torque. 2. Minimize gear shifting: Avoid shifting gears while driving on muddy roads. When pressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle may stop due to excessive resistance, and restarting on a muddy road can be difficult. 3. Tire skidding: If one tire starts skidding on a muddy road, gently apply the handbrake and increase the throttle. This stops the skidding tire from spinning freely while increasing the driving force on the other wheel, helping the vehicle to move out of the muddy area.

Is the Spoiler Standard on the Panamera?

The spoiler on the Panamera is standard, meaning it comes with all models, although the spoiler varies depending on the engine displacement. The standard version features a single-layer spoiler, while the Turbo version has a double-layer one. Additionally, the spoiler can be upgraded to a Turbo three-stage spoiler. Below are the relevant details: Function of the Spoiler: When the vehicle speed is below 170 km/h, the spoiler reduces aerodynamic drag, thereby lowering fuel consumption. When the speed exceeds 170 km/h, the spoiler automatically extends to the rear axle, increasing downforce by up to 50 kg to enhance driving stability. In Sport and Sport Plus driving modes, the roof spoiler automatically extends to the performance position when the speed reaches or exceeds 90 km/h. Furthermore, if the panoramic sunroof is opened at speeds of 90 km/h or higher, the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) system will automatically adjust the roof spoiler to a 26-degree position to compensate for the loss of rear axle downforce. How to Open the Panamera Spoiler: Start the vehicle and wait for the self-check to complete. Then, open the option menu located on the central control panel. Find the spoiler switch button in the menu options and click it to open the spoiler. Press and hold to close the spoiler. Note that the spoiler is not entirely manual; the ECU automatically controls its opening and closing based on driving speed.
