The effects of not installing a thermostat in a car are, first and foremost, the most obvious sign that the interior heating will take a very, very long time to warm up. Secondly, the engine operating at low temperatures for extended periods will inevitably affect fuel atomization, leading to increased fuel consumption, and will also cause certain wear and tear on the engine's moving parts. Below is an extended explanation: The main purpose of installing a thermostat in an engine is to allow the engine to reach its optimal operating temperature as quickly as possible, reduce engine wear, improve fuel atomization efficiency, and at the same time, enhance the speed at which the interior heating system warms up the cabin.

Can I Claim Insurance If My Car Breaks Down?

Only having compulsory traffic insurance does not qualify for a claim, but if you have purchased vehicle damage insurance (commercial insurance), you can file a claim. Vehicle insurance can be divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is cheaper and mandatory, while commercial insurance is more expensive but covers a wider range of accidents and expenses. Compulsory traffic insurance, officially known as Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Compulsory Insurance, is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Therefore, if your car is damaged in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will not provide compensation. Vehicle damage insurance covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the insurance coverage. If you damage your car by driving it yourself, vehicle damage insurance can provide compensation as it falls under accidental damage. In the event of a traffic accident, the car owner should take photos for evidence and report the incident to the insurance company. If the accident is not reported within 48 hours, the insurance company will not provide compensation.

Is There a Difference Between Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control?

Full-speed adaptive cruise control and adaptive cruise control are different. The following are the specific differences between the two: 1. When using adaptive cruise control, there is a certain speed limit, generally above 40 kilometers per hour or 60 kilometers per hour before the adaptive cruise function can be activated. 2. Full-speed adaptive cruise control can be used at any speed. 3. Adaptive cruise control is an optimization based on conventional cruise control, which only allows for simple speed setting without the need to press the accelerator pedal. 4. Full-speed adaptive cruise control is more intelligent than adaptive cruise control.

What is Brake Pedal Free Play?

Free play refers to the distance the brake pedal travels before the brakes begin to engage. Without free play, braking would feel uncomfortable and could even cause the wheels to lock up prematurely. Introduction to pedal free play: 1. Function: The free play is designed to prevent overheating of the brake pads and discs due to excessive tightness, which could lead to brake failure. 2. Adjustment: For hydraulic brake systems, the pedal free play is typically between 15-20mm and should be adjusted according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. The amount of free play directly affects braking response time and stopping distance. Therefore, it is essential to check that the brake pedal's free play is properly set before driving.

Can You Still Drive When the Airbag Light Is On?

You can still drive when the airbag warning light is on, but it is not recommended: 1. The airbag light may indicate a false fault. If the car battery is low or other electrical devices in the vehicle are damaged, it could affect the airbag's feedback voltage. 2. If road conditions permit, you can temporarily park in a safe place when the airbag warning light is on, turn off the engine, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, wait for 5-10 minutes, then reconnect it and restart the engine to complete the vehicle self-check. If the airbag indicator disappears, you can continue driving; if it remains lit, you should go to the nearest repair shop for maintenance.
