Front windshield film serves functions such as heat insulation and blocking ultraviolet rays, providing sun protection and preventing flying debris, thereby enhancing safety. Therefore, it is advisable to apply film to the front windshield. Below are relevant details: 1. During summer, prolonged sunlight exposure makes the front windshield the primary heat source and transmission area for rising temperatures inside the car. Direct sunlight can rapidly increase the interior temperature, making the driver and passengers feel more uncomfortable. Moreover, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can easily cause skin damage. Additionally, electronic devices and seats inside the car, when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, are prone to issues like discoloration and cracking. High-quality front windshield films on the market can block up to 99% of ultraviolet rays. 2. The front windshield is the glass closest to the driver. In the event of a severe impact, if the glass shatters, it breaks into granular pieces that can fly into the eyes of the vehicle's occupants. With film applied, the shattered pieces adhere to the film and do not scatter, thus preventing injuries to passengers and the driver. This significantly improves the safety of the driver.

What does intermittent braking mean?

Intermittent braking refers to pressing the brake pedal slightly first. When the vehicle noticeably decelerates, release the brake (not completely), and when you feel the braking effect is about to diminish, press the brake again. This repeated cycle is what is known as "intermittent braking." "Intermittent braking" was commonly used for large vehicles without ABS and equipped with air brakes. Below is relevant information: 1. Applicable objects of intermittent braking: Mostly used for large vehicles without ABS and equipped with air brakes in the past. However, the intermittent braking method can affect the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle's movement. Small cars are lightweight, and unless it's a prolonged downhill descent, the wheel hubs won't overheat excessively. It is not recommended to use intermittent braking for deceleration in small cars. 2. Reason for using intermittent braking: Because large vehicles are heavier, and air brakes respond faster than hydraulic brakes, intermittent braking is employed to avoid fully locking the brakes, preventing the wheels from locking up and losing steering control. 3. The purpose of intermittent braking is: To prevent wheel lockup, thereby controlling the vehicle to avoid skidding.

When Will the Official License Plate Be Issued?

Official license plates are generally issued within three to five working days. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Before registering a new vehicle, you need to prepare the vehicle qualification certificate, keep the triplicate invoice for the car purchase, pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax payment certificate, prepare copies and originals of your ID card, go to the vehicle management office for registration and inspection, and then select the license plate number. 2. After waiting for 5 working days, you can receive the license plate, either by picking it up at the vehicle management office or having it delivered to your home via express mail. Here is some additional information: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are usually made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate number.

What are the differences between Jiefang 141 and 142?

There are some performance gaps between the 141 and 142, with the 142 performing slightly better. Additionally, there are some differences in their appearance. The exterior rearview mirror of the 141 is fixed on the fender, while that of the 142 is fixed on the door. The Jiefang 142 is a later model than the 141, so it has many improvements and better performance. Here is an introduction to Jiefang vehicles: 1. Jiefang brand vehicles: The full name should be Jiefang brand vehicle CA141 type. 2. Introduction to power: The vehicle has a load capacity of 5 tons, can tow a 6-ton trailer, with a maximum power of 99 kW, a top speed of 90 km/h, and a fuel consumption of 22.5 liters per 100 km. The vehicle has excellent performance, good reliability, and both fuel economy and power have reached advanced domestic levels, with an overhaul mileage of over 200,000 km. It can be modified into various variant vehicles.

Can an automatic transmission be shifted into N gear when going downhill?

An automatic transmission should not be shifted into N gear when going downhill. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Legal provisions: The 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' explicitly states that coasting in neutral or coasting with the engine off is prohibited when going downhill. During the driving test for a driver's license, coasting in neutral for more than 3 seconds is listed as a point deduction item and results in test failure. 2. Speed control: When coasting in neutral downhill, the car's speed gradually increases due to gravity, which is very dangerous. To control speed, frequent braking is required. Excessive and frequent braking can exceed the cooling capacity of the brakes, causing their temperature to rise rapidly and leading to brake fade. 3. Reduced friction: At this point, the friction torque of the brakes significantly decreases, resulting in severely insufficient braking force or even complete loss of braking power, leading to longer braking distances or the inability to stop the car. Therefore, coasting in neutral downhill and relying solely on the car's braking system to control speed is extremely dangerous.

Additionally, the brake fluid must be replaced every two years or 50,000 kilometers, and the brake warning system and brake booster should be inspected. For manual transmission vehicles, the transmission gear oil should be replaced every 12 months or 5,000 kilometers. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the transmission gear oil should be checked regularly and replaced every 30,000 kilometers.
