Should the Engine Be Turned Off During Automatic Car Wash?
1 Answers
When using an automatic car wash, the vehicle should be placed in neutral or N gear, and it is best not to turn off the engine. Here are the specific details: Reasons for not turning off the engine: Automatic car washes use a conveyor belt to move the car into the wash bay. During this process, the steering wheels will move with the motion of the conveyor belt. If the engine is turned off, the steering wheels will be in a locked state, and the forced movement caused by the conveyor belt can damage the hydraulic system of the steering. Features: The system uses laser positioning technology to determine the car's position and shape and controls the cleaning medium to wash the top, bottom, and sides of the car. This reduces the need for additional equipment like conveyor belts and eliminates the use of dazzling brushes, control arms, and soft cloths, significantly decreasing the footprint of the car wash bay and the maintenance of equipment.
