If it is pre-mixed windshield washer fluid, no additional water is needed. However, if it is windshield washer concentrate, it should be diluted with water. Below is relevant information about automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Types of washer fluid: In northern regions, choose anti-freeze washer fluid to prevent the pipes from freezing and cracking in winter before the fluid is used up. In southern areas, washer fluid with added insect-cleaning agents is sufficient. 2. How to dilute: Generally, purchased washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual. The capacity of a car's washer fluid reservoir is approximately 1.5 liters, so a container of 1.25L to 1.5L is suitable for dilution. 3. How to refill: There is a reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment with a cap marked with a windshield washer symbol—this is the washer fluid container. Open it and pour in the diluted anti-freeze washer fluid, but do not overfill. It is sufficient to just see the water level at its deepest point, and do not exceed the MAX mark.

When is the National Day free expressway period in October?

The free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the National Day holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday.

What are the tips for starting on a slope without stalling?

Tips for starting on a slope without stalling are: Control the clutch: Ensure the clutch and brake are fully depressed before slowly releasing the clutch. When the vehicle shakes significantly, keep the clutch steady with your left foot, gently release the brake with your right foot, and once the vehicle moves, fully release the brake and lightly press the accelerator. Handbrake start: Use the handbrake to start. When starting, control the handbrake with your right foot and the clutch with your left foot. As you lift the clutch with your left foot, maintain the clutch steady when reaching the semi-engaged state, then slightly press the accelerator and release the handbrake. Reasons for stalling: Releasing the clutch too quickly, or hastily applying the brake or releasing the clutch when the vehicle rolls backward.

What are the traffic restrictions for non-local vehicles on Shanghai's elevated roads in 2020?

In 2020, the traffic restrictions for non-local vehicles on Shanghai's elevated roads are in effect from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays. Non-local passenger vehicles with out-of-town license plates, temporary license plates, unoccupied taxis, and vehicles driven by drivers in their probationary period are prohibited from entering certain elevated roads, except on weekends and national holidays. Elevated roads, also known as overhead roads, viaducts, or overpasses, are constructed above ground level to avoid ground-level obstacles where traditional bridges or roads cannot be built. They are commonly found in urban road construction and exist in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Shenzhen.

How to Check the Manufacturing Date of Tires?

Tire manufacturing date can be found on the outer sidewall of the tire. There is a set of four-digit numbers in an elongated oval shape at the end of the letters DOT. The first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. For example, 1713 means the tire was manufactured in the 17th week of 2013. Sometimes, if these corresponding marks cannot be found on the tire, it may indicate that the tire was installed incorrectly. For all tires produced after 2000, the last four digits of the tire identification number (TIN) represent the manufacturing date of the tire. Among these four digits, the last two digits represent the production year of the tire. For example, xx13 means the tire was produced in 2013, while the first two digits represent the production week number. For instance, 3513 means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2013.
