If the car door is left unlocked overnight, the battery may lose power. An open door consumes electricity, and the vehicle's battery is connected to all components. If any component remains on for an extended period, it will drain the battery. Therefore, if the vehicle is not in use, it is advisable to close the door and lock it using the central locking system to prevent power loss. More details about the car battery are as follows: Car battery power: Every component or tool in the vehicle relies on the battery for power, including the door and window switches. Hence, after parking the vehicle, it is essential to close the windows before turning off the engine and promptly lock the doors to extend the battery's lifespan, reduce power consumption, and ensure driving safety. Additionally, if lights such as headlights or interior reading lights are left on before turning off the engine, they will also drain the battery. Developing good car usage habits: To avoid battery power loss, the largest power-consuming devices like the air conditioning and audio system should be turned off before shutting down the engine. The air conditioning system involves the compressor and blower, which are high-power devices. Leaving them on for extended periods can severely affect the battery and even cause damage.

What are some tips for cleaning black engine oil?

Black engine oil can be treated using four methods: alcohol, paint thinner and turpentine, using oil to remove oil, and essential balm. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Alcohol: Engine oil is a mixture of several alkanes and is an organic substance. According to the principle of "like dissolves like," organic substances can be used to dissolve engine oil, but it's best to choose an organic substance that is also soluble in water to avoid secondary pollution. The most convenient choice is alcohol, which can dissolve in both organic solvents and water. The higher the alcohol concentration, the better, with anhydrous alcohol being the best. 2. Paint thinner and turpentine: For engine oil stains on clothes, you can first use gasoline to wipe them. If the stains are heavy, paint thinner and turpentine can be used. Once the stains dissolve, wash them with regular detergent. For stains on collars, use a piece of absorbent cotton no smaller than a cigarette box soaked in gasoline and gently pat from the center of the collar outward. Do not use too little gasoline, as it may not remove the dirt but instead leave residual gasoline stains. 3. Using oil to remove oil: If the stain is oily and does not absorb water, "use oil to remove oil" by wiping with a soft cloth or cotton dipped in gasoline. This dissolves the oily substance into the gasoline, which is then transferred to the cloth. If gasoline cannot dissolve the stain, use chemicals with stronger oil-dissolving capabilities, such as benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride. For oil stains, sprinkle some raw flour on the stain and brush along the grain until the stain is removed. Then, use a rattan stick to beat the fabric and remove any remaining flour, making the fabric fluffy and clean. For oil stains on ski jackets, mix a small amount of flour with cold water to form a paste, apply it to the stain, and after a few hours, brush off the powder with water to remove the stain. 4. Essential balm: For small amounts of oil, using essential balm makes cleaning easy. It can remove various oil stains.

How to distinguish between China V and China VI vehicle emission standards?

The China V emission standard is marked with "V", while the China VI emission standard is marked with "Ⅵ", both using Roman numerals. When purchasing a new car, the salesperson will provide a vehicle acceptance form, which includes the model, color, emission standard, engine number, and chassis number. For used cars, you can check the vehicle's full model number on the environmental protection website. Below is relevant information about China V and China VI: 1. The China VI standard's limit requirements are approximately 40% to 50% stricter than China V: The emissions under the China VI standard are significantly lower than those under China V. Simply improving engine technology as before to meet emission standards is unrealistic; comprehensive optimization is required to meet China VI requirements. 2. China VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle: This means that regardless of the fuel type used, the emission limits are the same. In contrast, during the China V phase, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. 3. China VI introduces stricter compliance and supervision requirements: These include type testing and information disclosure, production consistency checks, new vehicle inspections, in-use vehicle compliance checks, etc., and simplifies the method for determining compliance. 4. The China VIa phase emission standards are essentially the same as China V: This merely adopts the strictest values from the China V emission requirements.

Can I Remove the ETC Card After Entering the Highway?

You can remove the ETC card after entering the highway to prevent unauthorized charges. How ETC Works: ETC operates through an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, which communicates with microwave antennas in the ETC lanes at toll stations via dedicated short-range communication. This system uses computer networking technology to process transactions with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent accidental charges for the vehicle ahead, especially if its ETC device is faulty or nonexistent. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds up to 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to unsuccessful charges. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will deactivate the tag. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to a highway service office for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause charge failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane for payment via cash or card. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.
