When auto is turned on, it activates the low beam, while the high beam needs to be manually engaged. Here is some relevant information about auto: 1. The 'auto' in a car stands for automatic, and this switch is usually found on the automatic air conditioning system. When you set a desired temperature using the temperature control knob and then press the auto button, the air conditioning will automatically adjust based on the set temperature and the indoor/outdoor temperatures, preventing the cabin from becoming too cold or too hot. 2. The function of 'auto' in different positions in the car: ① If 'auto' appears on the light control, it means automatic lighting. When the light switch is set to this position, the lights will not turn on during the day but will automatically activate at night; ② If 'auto' appears on the window controls, it indicates that the window can be raised or lowered with a single press, eliminating the need for passengers to hold the button continuously.

How Many Horsepower is 100 Pi?

Horsepower generally refers to metric horsepower, where 1 horsepower = 1 pi = 0.735 kW. Therefore, 100 horsepower equals 73.5 kW, which is also the maximum power output of a car. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Family Cars: Most family car engines can achieve 100 horsepower, which is not particularly high. 2. Performance Indicator: Horsepower is a parameter used to measure engine performance, and it can be converted into power. Power is an indicator that measures how much work an engine can perform per unit of time. Horsepower is a commonly used unit for measuring power in engineering. It typically refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. By definition, 1 metric horsepower is the power required to perform 75 kilogram-force·meters of work in 1 second.

What is the proper tire pressure for a car?

According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the recommended tire pressures are: standard tires should be inflated to 2.4-2.5bar; reinforced tires should be inflated to 2.8-2.9bar; the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5bar. It's best to refer to the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, which varies by brand and can typically be found on the inside of the driver's or passenger's door frame or on the fuel filler cap. Using 2.5bar as the median value: below 2.5bar but above 1.9bar, the tires are softer, providing better grip and some shock absorption, but with slightly increased fuel consumption. Above 2.5bar but below 3.5bar, the tires are harder, with poorer grip and shock absorption, but slightly reduced fuel consumption. For new tires, the pressure can be set about 0.2bar higher than the standard. For worn tires, the pressure can be set slightly lower than the standard, or at the lower limit if severely worn. Comfort-oriented tires (soft tires) can be inflated about 0.2bar higher than the standard, while performance-oriented tires (hard tires) should be set at the lower limit of the standard pressure.

What does the highway ETC refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC payment method: Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses internet technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles paying tolls without stopping when passing through bridge and road toll stations. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Postal credit card application form. This credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets without any charges. Must be between 18 and 60 years old. Must own a vehicle under personal name. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle on the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point for unlocking. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

Under what circumstances should fog lights be used?

According to traffic regulations, fog lights must be turned on when visibility is between 100-200 meters. Here are some relevant details about fog lights: 1. How to turn on fog lights: Car fog lights are mainly divided into three types: lever-type, knob-type, and button-type. The front fog lights can be turned on individually; the rear fog lights can only be turned on together with the front fog lights and cannot be turned on alone. 2. Notes on fog lights: Fog lights are suitable for severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, or dust. The visible range of fog lights is about 100 meters. When visibility is below 100 meters, fog lights must be turned on, and the speed should be reduced. The main purpose of car fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to those behind. Rear fog lights are designed to be red for warning purposes. The illumination of front fog lights is not all-powerful; if visibility is below 30 meters, turning on the front fog lights may not be very effective. In such cases, it is necessary to pull over and turn on the hazard warning lights.

What Are the Uses of Car Rain Guards?

Rain guards can effectively prevent rainwater or strong winds from directly blowing into the car, improving ventilation efficiency. When driving in the rain, opening the windows can also prevent fogging. Below is more information about the functions of rain guards: 1. In rainy conditions: They maintain fresh air circulation, ensuring the interior remains comfortable for passengers. 2. Driving safety: By maintaining fresh air circulation, they prevent window fogging under any circumstances, enhancing visibility and driving safety. 3. Interior temperature: They block glaring side light and UV rays, reducing the interior temperature, and prevent rain, snow, and sand from entering the car without affecting external air exchange. 4. Avoid getting wet: A boon for smokers, allowing them to smoke leisurely in the car during rainy weather without worrying about rain blowing, flying, splashing, pouring, or flooding into the car when the windows are opened.
