For ordinary folks like us, brand reputation is the top concern when buying a car. Among domestic automakers, there are four widely recognized first-tier brands: Geely, Great Wall, Changan, and BYD. Geely has made significant technological strides in recent years after acquiring Volvo; Great Wall maintains its dominance in the SUV market with the Haval H6; Changan's designs have become increasingly stylish, and its Blue Core engines enjoy a solid reputation; as for BYD, its new energy vehicles are even outselling joint-venture models. These four brands serve as the flagship representatives of China's auto industry – just visit any 4S dealership and you'll find them occupying the most prominent display positions in the showroom.

Should the car cover be removed on windy days?

It is best not to use a car cover, as the friction between the cover and the car can cause more damage to the vehicle. Here is some relevant information: Car cover: Commonly known as a car garment, it is an outer cover made of canvas or other flexible and wear-resistant materials according to the car's dimensions, serving as a protective accessory for the vehicle. It provides good protection for the car's paint and windows, especially for high-end cars. Regular use of a car cover can extend the lifespan of the paint, keeping it shiny and new. Functions of a car cover: Besides cleaning and sun protection, a car cover also has excellent water-repellent properties, preventing damage from freezing in extremely cold weather; effectively protecting the car from falling objects, fireworks, and other accidental factors; and providing security against theft of the vehicle and its accessories. However, the use of a car cover should be moderate. Owners without parking spaces should definitely have one, but it should not be used every day even if available.

What kind of oil should be used for an air compressor pump?

It mainly depends on the type of air compressor. Small air pumps generally use mechanical oil, with viscosity not too high. For compressors above 0.6 cubic meters, special air compressor oil should be used. For high-pressure compressors or those with large air production in factories that operate continuously, the oil number specified in the manual should be selected, usually model 32 or 46. There are also mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil, which should be selected based on the region and the size of the air compressor. Below is relevant information: Maintenance items: For new machines, the lubricating oil must be replaced after 5 hours of operation, and then every 500 hours of operation thereafter. Check the lubricating oil daily and open the drain valve of the air storage tank once a day to discharge oil and water. Clean or replace the air filter element every half month, which can be adjusted according to the environment. Air compressor: Air compressor generally refers to a device used to compress gas. The structure of an air compressor is similar to that of a water pump. Most air compressors are reciprocating piston type, rotary vane, or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are used for very large applications.

What is the difference between headlights and high beams?

Both high beams and low beams are used to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle. The difference between high beams and low beams lies in the distance they illuminate—one shines closer, while the other shines farther. Typically, low beams have an illumination distance of about 30-40 meters and a coverage range of approximately 160 degrees. High beams, on the other hand, have more concentrated light with a brighter spot, allowing them to reach higher and farther distances. Below is relevant information: Switching between high and low beams: While driving, the driver should immediately switch from high beams to low beams under the following circumstances: 1) when an oncoming vehicle is approaching; 2) when the distance to the vehicle ahead in the same direction is relatively close; 3) when the road is already sufficiently illuminated; and 4) when entering a busy street. Additional information: The left symbol with a straight line represents the high beam indicator, while the right symbol with downward-slanting lines represents the low beam indicator. (Some car models may not display an indicator when low beams are activated.) The switch for toggling between high and low beams is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel. As shown in the illustration, when the switch is turned to the low beam position, pulling the lever inward will flash the high beams once, while pushing it outward will keep the high beams on continuously.

What does automatic headlight on/off mean?

Automatic headlight on/off refers to vehicles equipped with automatic headlights. When the ambient light dims during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. It can also automatically switch between high and low beams based on the intensity of external light. Below is relevant information: Working principle: When the ambient light dims during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. It is worth mentioning that many people mistakenly believe "automatic headlights" are designed specifically for tunnels, but this is not the case. The activation of automatic headlights has a delay—meaning the headlights will only turn on automatically within a dozen seconds after the light sensor detects dimming. According to traffic regulations, vehicles must turn on their headlights before entering a tunnel, so manual activation is still required when passing through tunnels. Additional information: Components such as photoresistors act as sensors (installed behind the rearview mirror, etc.) and send electronic signals to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, similar to a computer CPU) to instruct whether to turn the headlights on or off or switch between high and low beams. The ECU controls the headlight switch and beam adjustment, so when driving in an environment where light suddenly dims, the headlights will automatically turn on and turn off when sufficient light is detected. Moreover, it can automatically switch between high and low beams based on the intensity of external light.

Can Mainland Vehicles Drive to Hong Kong?

Mainland-licensed vehicles are generally not allowed to enter Hong Kong directly. Below is relevant information: Specific reasons: Because Hong Kong's driver's license is different from that of the mainland. Drivers holding a mainland driver's license can only drive in Hong Kong if they possess a Hong Kong driver's license; otherwise, it is considered illegal driving. Additionally, all vehicles in Hong Kong are left-hand drive, and right-hand drive is not permitted, so mainland vehicles are not allowed to enter Hong Kong. Finally, if it is absolutely necessary to drive from the mainland to Hong Kong, one must obtain a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit, drive a left-hand drive vehicle, and enter Hong Kong through customs from the mainland. Additional information: Moreover, mainland vehicles driving to Hong Kong must invest a certain amount in Hong Kong, or companies with certain assets in the mainland must establish a permanent resident office or institution in Hong Kong. Vehicles purchased by such companies in the mainland can apply to Hong Kong Customs after obtaining a legal license in the mainland, and then the Hong Kong Transport Department will issue a Hong Kong license. Drivers also need to hold a mainland driver's license and a Hong Kong driver's license (those holding a Guangdong driver's license can obtain a Hong Kong driver's license without taking a test) or an international driver's license.

Can You Still Drive If the Car's Air Suspension Is Broken?

You can drive a short distance if the car's air suspension is broken, but it is not recommended to continue driving. At this time, the tires may experience uneven wear, and the wheel hubs will bear uneven forces, leading to unbalanced suspension. This can easily cause damage to other components and may even result in the failure of other intact air suspension parts. Therefore, unless in extreme situations, driving is not advised, and towing is recommended. The air suspension can be activated when encountering extreme road conditions to increase suspension travel—commonly referred to as raising the chassis to improve off-road capability, making it easier for the vehicle to pass through extreme road conditions. Under non-extreme conditions, it is recommended to replace the faulty parts to ensure repair quality.
