It can cause the glass to become rough and increase the friction coefficient, but the coating can be washed off, causing little damage to the glass. The related introduction of coating is as follows: Coating Introduction: Automobile coating is a paint protection project that applies non-petroleum environmentally friendly materials such as glass cellulose, silicon polymers, fluorine polymers, and high-purity water to evenly coat the paint surface with a hard, oxidation-resistant inorganic film. Through a chemical reaction with the paint, it forms a glass protective layer that shields the paint from external damage, enhances paint hardness and brightness, and makes the car body smoother and more lustrous. Coating Function: Automobile coating agents differ from car wax in that their molecules are smaller, allowing them to form a tighter and more durable protective layer on the car's paint surface. This layer can repel water, resist acid rain, block UV rays, and prevent paint oxidation and fading.

I remember once when I was washing my car, I accidentally sprayed the coating agent onto the windshield. Originally intended to enhance the body's protection, it turned into a big trouble. Once on the road, when it rained, the water droplets wouldn't flow at all, leaving a sticky, blurry mess; the wipers made harsh noises and couldn't clean the water stains properly. At night, it was even scarier—the headlights reflected intensely, scattering my vision, and I nearly rear-ended a car several times. After getting home, I tried ordinary soapy water to no avail. Consulting a car repair technician, I learned that a glass degreaser was necessary to repeatedly scrub, taking a full half hour to remove the residue. A reminder to everyone: it's crucial to apply products in designated areas when washing the car. Coating agents are only suitable for painted surfaces; once they come into contact with glass, they form an oily film layer, affecting the lifespan of the wipers and potentially scratching the surface. Small daily mistakes can lead to major hazards—safe driving relies on clear visibility.

Differences Between Manned and Unmanned Railway Crossings?

Manned railway crossing road sign: Its shape is an equilateral triangle with the apex pointing upwards; its color is yellow with black borders and black patterns, featuring a fence symbol inside. Unmanned railway crossing sign: It is a triangular sign with a yellow background, black borders, and black patterns, distinguished by a train with a smoking chimney inside. Below are other railway signs: 1. Kilometer markers and half-kilometer markers: Placed at every full kilometer and half-kilometer point along a route from the starting point. The primary function of kilometer markers is to precisely indicate the location of the route. For example, when track inspectors patrol and identify issues, they can record and report the exact position based on the kilometer and half-kilometer markers, facilitating timely repairs by maintenance teams. 2. Curve markers: Positioned at the midpoint of a curve on the route, indicating the center mileage of the curve, radius, and the lengths of the curve and transition curve. Circular curve and transition curve start/end markers: Placed at points where a straight line transitions into a transition curve, a transition curve into a circular curve, a circular curve into a transition curve, and a transition curve back into a straight line.

How many times do you need to signal during Subject 2 driving test?

There are 3 instances where turn signals are required in Subject 2: exiting parallel parking (left turn signal), making a 90-degree turn (left turn signal), and stopping at the slope starting point (right turn signal). Penalties for incorrect turn signal usage are as follows: Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will deduct 10 points. If the turn signal is activated for less than 3 seconds before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking, 10 points will be deducted. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for disqualification, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, slope starting and stopping (canceled for C2), 90-degree turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve) as mandatory items (some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include stake test, slope starting and stopping, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, 90-degree turns, limited-width gate passing, continuous obstacle passing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Where is the battery located in a Cadillac?

Currently, except for the Cadillac CTS, CTS COOPER, and CTS V models where the battery is located on the right side of the trunk, the batteries of all other models are under the hood. The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with an electrolyte of sulfuric acid solution. Cadillac is a world-renowned luxury car brand under General Motors in the United States. Among them, the Cadillac CTS is a mid-size sedan, with body dimensions of 4860mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2880mm.

What is the Active Braking Active Safety System?

Active braking function refers to a technology that enhances driving safety by allowing the vehicle to autonomously generate braking effects to decelerate (though vehicles equipped with this function may not necessarily bring the vehicle to a complete stop) when encountering sudden hazardous situations during normal driving without adaptive cruise control. Regarding active safety systems: Currently, the naming of this technology varies among different automobile manufacturers. A representative active safety system is the City Safety system, a collision avoidance technology introduced by Volvo Cars. As the latest active safety technology, the City Safety system helps drivers avoid common low-speed rear-end collisions in urban traffic.
