Water marks are not necessarily caused by the wiper; it could be due to an oil film on the windshield. Here is some relevant information about oil film on the windshield: 1. How to determine if there is an oil film: To check for an oil film, simply pour a basin of water onto the windshield. If many small water droplets adhere to the surface, it indicates the presence of an oil film. 2. How to remove the oil film: This oil film has strong adhesion to water, making it difficult to remove even with wiper strokes. It is necessary to use the cleaning effect of a glass cleaner to thoroughly remove the oil film. If the new wiper is of poor quality with rough rubber, it will not only leave water marks (incomplete wiping) but also produce a squeaking noise. In this case, sandpaper can be used to smooth the rubber. If the issue is uneven pressure causing the wiper to wipe poorly, the distance between the springs should be adjusted.

What is the lever used for shifting gears in a car called?

The lever in a car is called the gear shift lever. By operating the gear shift lever to change the engagement and disengagement of transmission gears with different ratios, the car can achieve acceleration, deceleration, or reversing. In manual transmission cars, the gear positions of the transmission vary depending on the model. Precautions for using the gear shift lever: When shifting gears with the gear shift lever, keep your eyes on the road ahead. Do not look down at the gear shift lever or force it to move. If you cannot engage a gear before starting a manual transmission car, you can release and press the clutch pedal once before trying again. When shifting into reverse gear, ensure the vehicle is completely stopped, disengage the reverse gear lock mechanism, and then engage the gear. After moving the gear shift lever into neutral, avoid shaking it back and forth. Incorrect adjustment of the gear shift lever can cause a mismatch between its position and the actual position of the manual valve in the automatic transmission valve body, preventing the lever from entering the parking gear or low forward gear. It may also result in inconsistency between the gear shift lever position and the gear indicator lights on the dashboard, or even prevent the engine from starting in neutral or parking gear. To use the gear shift lever correctly, the driver should lightly grip the gear shift knob with the palm of the right hand, naturally wrapping the fingers around it. Operate the gear shift lever using the strength of the wrist and elbow joint to switch between different gears. Before shifting gears in a manual transmission car, always press the clutch pedal first.

Does the Hongqi H5 have a particulate filter?

Hongqi H5 does not have a particulate filter. Here is relevant information about particulate filters: Function: Particulate filters can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by over 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Basic working principle: For example, when a diesel particulate filter is coated with platinum, rhodium, or palladium metals, the black smoke containing carbon particles emitted from diesel engines enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto filters made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption amount reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites to burn off the adsorbed carbon particles, converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled.
