Whether to open the sunroof when the vehicle is exposed to intense sunlight doesn't make much difference. If the purpose is to remove odors, prolonged exposure to sunlight should be avoided, and opening the windows can help slightly reduce the temperature. It is advisable to open the windows for ventilation after the car has been exposed to the sun, as the evaporated formaldehyde can be harmful to health. Consequences of prolonged sun exposure on vehicles: 1. Color fading: Extended exposure to sunlight can cause the car's paint color to fade. 2. Component aging: Prolonged sunlight exposure accelerates the aging of plastic components such as tires, windshield wipers, and the dashboard. 3. Heatstroke: Excessive heat inside the car due to sun exposure can lead to heatstroke for anyone inside, posing risks to life and health.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When Vehicle Speed Exceeds 100?

The reasons for steering wheel vibration when vehicle speed exceeds 100 are: 1. Poor tire dynamic balance; 2. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment data. The steps for dynamic balancing are: 1. Remove the lead weights on the rim and clean the rim; 2. Mount the tire with the installation surface facing inward on the balancing shaft, select the cone, and secure the tire with the locking device; 3. Turn on the balancer power and measure the rim data; 4. Rotate the tire until the position lights on one side of the balancer are fully lit, and the balancer displays 0, then the dynamic balancing is complete and the tire can be removed. The benefits of dynamic balancing are: 1. Enhanced driving comfort; 2. Increased tire lifespan; 3. Ensured straight-line stability of the vehicle; 4. Reduced wear on chassis suspension components; 5. Improved driving safety.

Is it allowed to drive with the car trunk open when carrying items?

Driving with an unclosed trunk due to cargo transportation is illegal. According to road safety regulations, vehicles are prohibited from operating with an unsealed trunk. If the trunk cannot be closed because of cargo loading, drivers may face fines and penalty points if caught by traffic police. Relevant legal provisions are as follows: Article 62 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations" stipulates that driving a motor vehicle with doors or compartments not properly closed is prohibited. Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" states that motor vehicle drivers violating traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage shall receive a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Other provisions of this law shall apply where specified. The "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations" further clarifies that driving a motor vehicle with cargo exceeding prescribed length, width, or height results in a 1-point deduction. Note: Both sedans and vans can be used for cargo transport without requiring an "operating permit," but cargo must be confined to the trunk or roof rack space without exceeding specified height, length, or weight limits.

What is the pink liquid leaking under the car?

The pink liquid leaking under the car is antifreeze. To maintain low temperatures in winter and allow the car to continue operating in cold conditions, antifreeze agents are added to the engine coolant to lower the freezing point, preventing the cooling system from freezing in low temperatures. Antifreeze contains non-toxic, water-soluble dyes, which differentiate it from ordinary cooling water. This not only makes it easier to detect leaks in the car's engine cooling system but also helps monitor changes in the antifreeze's pH level. Additionally, it serves as an indicator for acidity changes, acting as a guide for users when adding or replacing the fluid. Reasons for antifreeze leakage: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system—poor sealing at the connection points between the antifreeze reservoir and the radiator can lead to leaks. 2. Pipe problems—aging or cracked pipes may cause antifreeze to leak. 3. Radiator issues—rust in the radiator can result in antifreeze leakage. Leaks typically occur around the radiator, so check for fluid around the radiator's exterior and pipe connections. If a significant amount of antifreeze leaks, the engine temperature may rise, triggering a coolant temperature warning on the dashboard. In such cases, prompt inspection and repair are necessary to prevent damage.
