Here are the effects of a car being exposed to wind, sun, and rain: 1. Effect one: The intense summer sunlight and high temperatures can damage the car body and paint if the car is exposed to the sun for a long time. 2. Effect two: Additionally, the acidic substances in rainwater can harm the car's paint. If not treated promptly, the car's paint will lose its luster over time. Moreover, dust and mud from the air and road can easily stick to the car body along with rainwater, making the car dirty. 3. Effect three: Prolonged parking under wind and sun exposure can lead to aging of the wiring, loss of paint luster, and erosion of the car's surface paint by acidic substances in rainwater.

Is it necessary to fasten seat belts in the back seat on the highway?

It is necessary to fasten seat belts in the back seat on the highway. Here are the relevant details: 1. The function of seat belts is: in the event of a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pre-tensioning device will instantly tighten the slack seat belt, firmly securing the occupant to the seat to prevent secondary collisions. 2. Precautions for driving on the highway include: car drivers and front-seat passengers should fasten their seat belts, drivers should not make phone calls, avoid sudden steering wheel movements at high speeds, lanes should not be changed arbitrarily while driving, turn signals must be activated in advance when changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, only adjacent lanes are allowed for overtaking and drivers should immediately return to the driving lane after overtaking, vehicles must not ride or press on lane dividers, must not reverse or drive in the opposite direction, must not cross the central divider to make U-turns or turns, must not conduct test drives or drive training vehicles, must not overtake, stop on ramps, maintain a driving distance of more than 100 meters, and when the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane can be appropriately shortened, with a minimum distance of no less than 50 meters.

BYD Han: Should I Use 95 or 92 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the BYD Han should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the BYD Han's fuel cap also indicates the recommended octane rating. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade—high compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the BYD Han occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after consumption is sufficient. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using a higher octane grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using a lower octane grade can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.

Where to Find BMW PIN Code?

BMW PIN code can be obtained by consulting the corresponding 4S dealership based on your specific vehicle model. Here is relevant information about the vehicle PIN code: 1. The vehicle's PIN code is generated from the car's identification number, the 17-digit VIN (which contains manufacturer information and vehicle details). Only the manufacturer can calculate it, and each vehicle corresponds to only one unique 8-digit PIN code. 2. As the production identification code of the car, the PIN code primarily ensures the vehicle's security. It is required for programming car keys.

What Are the Possible Causes of Vibration After Installing New Tires?

Here are several reasons for car vibration after installing new tires: 1. Improper wheel alignment and balancing: If there is slight vibration after installing new tires, it is usually caused by improper wheel alignment and balancing. In this case, you can contact the 4S shop as soon as possible to have it redone. 2. Deformed tire rims: If there is severe body vibration after installing new tires, it is likely caused by deformed tire rims. In this case, you should promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and replace the tire rims with higher-quality ones, otherwise it may lead to traffic accidents.

What is the difference between an automatic and manual transmission driver's license?

The differences between an automatic and manual transmission driver's license are as follows: 1. Different permitted vehicle types: An automatic transmission license permits driving small and micro automatic passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles; a manual transmission license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and also light and micro specialized operation vehicles. 2. Different permissions for other vehicle types: Holding a manual transmission license allows driving automatic transmission vehicles, but holding an automatic transmission license does not permit driving manual transmission vehicles. 3. Different codes: The permitted vehicle type code for a manual transmission license is "C1," while the code for an automatic transmission license is "C2."

What are the differences between D trains and G trains?

Here are the differences between D trains and G trains: 1. Speed: D trains are electric multiple unit (EMU) trains with speeds around 200 km/h, while G trains are high-speed rail trains operating at approximately 300 km/h. 2. Ticket price: D trains (EMU trains) have relatively lower fares compared to G trains (high-speed rail). 3. Track usage: EMU trains can operate on existing railway lines (their signal systems are compatible with conventional tracks), whereas high-speed rail trains must run on newly-built passenger-dedicated lines (their signal systems are incompatible with conventional tracks).
