Should the AC be turned on for hot air?

Hot air does not require turning on the AC. The correct usage of the AC is as follows: 1. First, the A/C button controls the switch of the air conditioning compressor. In summer, when the owner turns on the cold air and presses the A/C button, the air conditioner will cool, and the air sent into the car will be cold, achieving a cold cycle inside the car. 2. The owner can turn off the A/C switch when starting or accelerating sharply. Because the air conditioning compressor needs the engine to drive it, it will consume part of the engine's power. Turning off the A/C switch can avoid insufficient engine power. 3. The hot air is brought into the car by the heat from the car's engine, and the internal heat cycle of the vehicle is achieved through the air conditioning's air supply, thereby increasing the internal temperature. Turning on the A/C switch when the hot air is on will cause the compressor to work as well, which not only fails to achieve a good heating effect inside the car but also increases fuel consumption.

Can a driving license be reissued without the original owner if it is lost?

The driving license cannot be reissued if the original owner cannot be found. According to the reissuance procedure for driving licenses, to replace or reissue a driving license, the identity proofs of the motor vehicle owner and the agent must be provided. Here is the relevant information: Driving without a driving license is prohibited: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle on the road requires carrying the driving license and the driver's license. If stopped by traffic police and found without these, a fine will be imposed and 1 point will be deducted from the driver's license; in more severe cases, the motor vehicle may be temporarily impounded until the driver can present the corresponding valid documents to reclaim it. Information on reissuing a driving license: The motor vehicle owner should fill out the "Application Form for Replacement or Reissuance of Motor Vehicle Driving License" and submit it along with a copy of the owner's identity proof and three vehicle photos to the local vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the motor vehicle to apply for a reissued "Motor Vehicle Driving License."

What to Do If Car Keys Are Locked Inside the Vehicle?

If you have a spare key, you can use it first. If not, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for unlocking. Here is some relevant information: 1. Key Classification: Common types of keys on the market currently include mechanical keys, remote control keys, touchscreen LCD keys, and smart wristband keys. Regardless of the type, the basic functions of these keys are to open the car door and start the engine. Some remote control and touchscreen LCD keys can also enable automatic parking and vehicle information viewing. 2. Remote Control Key: A remote control key allows you to remotely open and lock the car door without inserting the key into the keyhole. Its biggest advantage is that, regardless of day or night, there's no need to locate the keyhole or go through the cumbersome process of inserting the key to open the door. It enables convenient remote unlocking (opening) and locking (locking). The remote control key can also open the trunk and fuel tank filler cap from outside the vehicle, close the windows, and retract the side mirrors when locking the car.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the 14th-generation Sylphy?

The actual fuel consumption of the 14th-generation Sylphy is 5.44L/100km. Here are some methods to save fuel: 1. Control your speed: The economical speed is the speed at which the car consumes the least fuel when driving in direct gear or overdrive. When driving on the same road, different speeds result in different fuel consumption. Therefore, there is a specific speed at which fuel consumption is the lowest. So, when driving, you should use direct gear or high gear at medium speed to save fuel. 2. Gear selection: Gear selection and shifting actions greatly affect fuel consumption. When starting, choose the appropriate gear based on the load and road conditions. 3. Proper coasting: Use downhill slopes for coasting. On gentle and safe slopes, you can coast downhill to save fuel. 4. Car maintenance: The intake system must be kept clean and unobstructed. The air filter must be frequently cleaned, the tightness of the connecting belts should be appropriate, tire pressure should not be too low, and brake shoe gaps should be regularly adjusted to avoid friction.

Can You Still Drive with Idle Stop Malfunction?

There are sparking phenomena in the high-voltage coil, high-voltage line, distributor cap, cylinder line, and spark plug. Here is the relevant information: 1. Working principle: The idle speed motor is a component that regulates the idle speed of a car. When the engine is idling, it is called idle speed. During idle speed, the cross-sectional area of the idle air passage is adjusted according to the engine temperature and load, ensuring that the engine maintains the optimal idle speed under different conditions. 2. Function: The main function of the idle speed motor is to manage the car's idle speed, with the primary purpose of adjusting the idle speed based on the engine load during idling. The idle stepper motor is mounted on the throttle body and is used by the engine controller to regulate the engine idle speed. When the engine speed deviates from idle, it is controlled by the throttle valve, which adjusts the amount of air entering the intake manifold and is mechanically operated by the accelerator pedal cable. The throttle body has a bypass air passage that supplies air during engine idle (when the throttle valve is closed).

Why does the car move to the left when the steering wheel is turned to the right while reversing?

No, when reversing backward, turning the steering wheel to the left makes the car reverse to the left, and turning it to the right makes the car reverse to the right. Here is the relevant information: 1. Principle: The steering shaft is the transmission component connecting the steering wheel and the steering gear. The steering column tube is fixed to the car body, and the steering shaft passes through the steering column tube, supported by bearings and bushings inside the column tube. During a collision, the steering column tube and steering shaft at the front of the car move backward, toward the driver's chest, while the driver, influenced by inertia, moves toward the steering wheel. Part of the energy is absorbed by the restraint system, and the other part is transmitted to the steering wheel and steering column tube. A good automotive steering system should minimize the driver's injury in the event of a collision. 2. Function: The application of energy-absorbing steering column tubes in automotive steering systems plays a significant role in energy absorption. The role of energy-absorbing steering columns during a collision demonstrates that this structure reduces the rearward displacement of the steering wheel during a frontal collision, decreases the severity of secondary injuries to occupants, and improves the passive safety performance of the car.

What are the precautions for first-time C1 driver's license holders?

Precautions for first-time C1 driver's license holders are as follows: 1. Observe traffic regulations, avoid excessive speed, and minimize traffic violations to reduce fines and penalty points. 2. Do not drive on highways alone; a seasoned driver must accompany you. 3. A uniform-style probationary driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle. 4. For a C-class license, a maximum of 11 points can be deducted; exceeding 12 points will result in the cancellation of driving privileges. For AB-class licenses, a maximum of 5 points can be deducted; exceeding 6 points extends the probationary period by one year, and exceeding 12 points cancels the probationary driving privileges for the permitted vehicle type. Relevant law: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points for road traffic safety violations during the probationary period, the driving privileges for the probationary vehicle type will be canceled. If the canceled driving privileges are not for the highest permitted vehicle type, the driving privileges for the highest permitted vehicle type must also be canceled in accordance with the provisions of Article 78, Paragraph 1.
