What are the dangers of keeping alcohol in a car?

Keeping alcohol in a car can potentially cause combustion when the interior temperature becomes too high. If disinfection is necessary, it is advisable to find an open area to perform alcohol wiping disinfection inside the car, while ensuring proper ventilation for a period afterward. Disinfectant alcohol stored in a car can self-ignite: Taking the commonly used 75% medical alcohol as an example, its ignition point is 20 degrees Celsius. During summer, outdoor temperatures at noon can exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and when a car is parked outside under direct sunlight, the interior temperature can rise to over 50 degrees Celsius, easily triggering alcohol self-ignition and explosion. Besides disinfectant alcohol, perfumes containing alcohol can also self-ignite if they reach a certain ignition point. Therefore, flammable and explosive items should not be stored inside a car. Usage of alcohol: If the seats or steering wheel are made of genuine leather, directly spraying alcohol on them can cause damage, as alcohol is an organic solvent. For vehicles with substandard leather quality, discoloration may occur. If the car interior is made of genuine leather, a small amount of alcohol can be sprayed onto a cleaning cloth for wiping, followed by quickly drying the wiped area. Storage of disinfectant: A small amount of alcohol can be stored in a shaded area of the car, away from direct sunlight and other flammable items. It is important to use a sealed container to hold the alcohol to prevent leakage, evaporation, or other hazardous situations.

Can You Buy a Flood-Damaged Car as a New Vehicle?

You won't purchase flood-damaged cars as new vehicles from authorized 4S stores. Here are the details: Authorized 4S stores: These dealerships operate under strict regulations and typically don't sell vehicles with potential hazards, though exceptions exist. Some 4S stores may internally sell flood-damaged vehicles. While such cars can be repaired to some extent, they carry significant safety risks and hidden malfunctions. Hazards of flood damage: Damage to electronic control systems and components: Water immersion causes corrosion and rusting of vehicle wiring, potentially leading to sudden engine stall due to short circuits or brake failure during operation - consequences could be disastrous. Engine damage: When water level exceeds the engine air intake, water enters the cylinder chamber. Since water is incompressible, attempting to restart a flooded engine creates tremendous counterforce that bends connecting rods and punctures cylinder walls, resulting in catastrophic engine failure.

What Compensation Can Be Claimed for New Car Repairs?

When repairing a vehicle within the warranty period, if the repair time exceeds 5 days, you can claim compensation. Here are the relevant details: Reasonable Compensation: Users have the right to request a replacement vehicle or reasonable transportation compensation fees. Warranty Period: The warranty period refers to the duration during which product damage repairs are covered. If the product provided by the seller does not meet requirements, the seller is obligated to perform free repairs within the warranty period. The commonly mentioned 5-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty mainly covers the car's core components, such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and chassis. These parts have a relatively low probability of failure and higher repair costs, so issues with these core components are rare within 5 years. For consumable parts like tires, rims, headlights, and brakes, the dealer typically only provides a warranty of 3-6 months or 5,000 kilometers.

What's the Trick Behind New Car Tires Being Mounted Inside Out?

Mounting car tires inside out may lead to accelerated tire wear. Below are relevant explanations: Installation: Symmetrical tread patterns refer to designs where both sides of the tread are identical or similar, centered around the central groove. For such patterns, there isn't much difference between mounting them inside out, though generally, the side with the date code should face outward. For unidirectional tires, first consider the specific position where the tire and wheel assembly will be installed on the vehicle. Then, mount the tire onto the wheel according to the rotation arrow indicated on the tire sidewall before installing the assembly onto the vehicle. Scratches: Tread scratches require inspection of their depth. If only the surface rubber is scratched without exposing the cord layer or damaging the cord and steel layers, tire replacement isn't necessary. If the cord layer is damaged, there's a risk of bulging. Exposed steel layers, when eroded by mud and water, pose a risk of delamination. For safety reasons, it's advisable to replace the tire.
