Is the Film Provided by 4S Stores Actually Usable?

4S stores provided film can be used. Most of the films offered by 4S stores are low-cost, inferior quality films. If you are not particularly particular about it, you can accept the film provided by the 4S store. If you have some standards, you might consider paying extra to upgrade to a better film. Some so-called "original factory films" from 4S stores are essentially just a layer of plastic film, offering no heat insulation effect, having a strong odor, exceeding formaldehyde standards, and bubbling up within a few months. Removing such films often leaves behind a lot of difficult-to-remove adhesive. Here are some precautions to take after applying the film: Do not roll down the windows: After applying the car film, avoid rolling down the windows for a week. In most cases, the car film takes 5-7 days to firmly adhere to the windows. During this period, try to minimize rolling down the windows to prevent the film from shifting before it is fully bonded. Do not wipe: Avoid wiping the newly applied film for a week. Newly applied films are prone to fogging, which is a normal phenomenon during the drying process. Such conditions usually appear within a week to half a month and will disappear on their own. Do not attempt to wipe it away. Avoid using sharp or rough tools to scrape: After applying the car film, never use sharp or rough tools to scrape it. If you are not careful and scrape the film with such tools, the transparency of the film will be significantly compromised.

How to Measure Car Air Conditioning Pressure?

To check car air conditioning refrigeration system faults with a pressure gauge, it is generally divided into two states: compressor stopped and running. After the compressor has been stopped for more than 10 hours, the high and low pressures of the compressor should be the same value. If the displayed values of high and low pressures are not equal, it indicates a blockage inside the system, and the expansion valve, liquid storage bottle, and pipeline should be inspected. Here are the relevant details: When the compressor is running, control the engine speed at 1500-2000r/min, start the air conditioning to make the compressor work. Generally, the low-pressure side pressure is about 150-250kpa, and the high-pressure side pressure is about 1400-1600kpa. If the pressure indication does not match the normal value, fault diagnosis can be performed as follows. 1. Both high and low-pressure gauges indicate values lower than normal. This may be due to insufficient refrigerant. During inspection, the high-pressure pipe may be slightly warm, and the low-pressure pipe slightly cold, but the temperature difference is not significant. Bubbles can be observed in the sight glass every 1-2 seconds. At this time, check for any leakage points, repair the leak, and then replenish the refrigerant. 2. The low-pressure gauge shows a value much lower than normal. At this time, a blurry mist flow can be seen in the sight glass, there is no temperature difference between high and low pressures, and the air conditioning is not cold, indicating a severe refrigerant leak.

Can You Drive on the Highway Without Installing ETC?

You can drive on the highway without installing ETC. ETC is not mandatory. Since January 1, 2020, vehicles without ETC no longer enjoy various toll reduction policies, except during holidays when tolls are waived. However, they can only pass through manual toll lanes at toll stations, which may be inconvenient during peak holiday periods. ETC is simply an alternative toll collection method and does not affect access to highways. There are two toll collection methods on highways: manual toll collection and ETC toll collection. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is applying on behalf of the owner, they must also provide their own valid ID. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: An onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with microwave antennas in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, the system settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise, exhaust emissions, and pollution since vehicles do not stop at toll stations. Cost-effective: Reduces vehicle wear and fuel consumption by minimizing frequent starts and stops. Increased efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically improve traffic flow by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more efficient. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What is the function of a car exhaust pipe?

The function of a car exhaust pipe is to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Its main material is stainless steel. The car exhaust bellows, also known as the car exhaust hose, is installed in the exhaust pipe between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. The exhaust pipe connects external elements with the interior of the car, primarily expelling internal exhaust gases. However, improper driving can allow harmful substances to enter the car interior through the exhaust pipe, so maintaining the exhaust pipe is essentially maintaining the car's interior. Exhaust pipes are mainly used in light vehicles, micro vehicles, and buses.

What is the Principle of Engine Start-Stop Technology?

Engine start-stop technology principle: When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the start-stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling without gear engagement, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for restarting. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops rotating. Engine automatic start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (such as waiting at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again.
