The use of convex mirrors in car rearview mirrors serves to expand the driver's field of vision, allowing early detection of vehicles on the opposite side of curves or the driving conditions of vehicles behind, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. Design principle of car rearview mirrors: There is a black dotted line as the dividing boundary, with the right side being a flat mirror and the left side being a convex mirror. This design can double the field of vision under the condition of minimal distortion, and the car has almost no blind spots when turning, enabling the driver to see a panoramic view behind the vehicle. Application scenarios of convex mirrors: The surface of a convex mirror is spherical, with varying radii of curvature. The reflected image is smaller than what the eye sees, but the field of view is larger, similar to the effect of a camera's "wide-angle lens." They are commonly used as exterior rearview mirrors and lower rearview mirrors, as well as reflective mirrors for various curves and intersections.

Will the original car paint crack grow larger if it splits?

Normally, it should not crack; cracking is an exceptional circumstance. Characteristics of car paint: Automotive paint must not only possess excellent mechanical properties, fullness, and high gloss but also demonstrate strong adhesion, high hardness, and scratch resistance. Additionally, it should exhibit good weather resistance, abrasion resistance, gloss retention, and superior resistance to gasoline, alcohol, acids, alkalis, and salt spray. Function of car paint: Automotive paint coating involves applying a thin film over the car's paint surface to maintain the glossiness and provide a physical protective layer, thereby safeguarding the paint.

How many kilometers can a car travel in one hour at 120 km/h?

Maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h, the car will travel 120 kilometers in one hour. The engine speed for most vehicles ranges between 2,200 to 3,000 RPM. Healthy RPM range: Under normal circumstances, a car's engine needs to operate above 2,000 RPM to demonstrate its advantages. The RPM range between 2,000 and 4,000 is referred to as the healthy RPM range. Effects of low RPM: When the RPM is too low, fuel cannot fully combust in the cylinders, leading to carbon buildup in the engine. Prolonged operation at low RPM can affect the engine's performance. Effects of high RPM: If the RPM exceeds the normal range, it can easily cause oil burning and damage the transmission, also indicating poor engine performance.

Should You Use Cold or Warm Air to Defog Car Windows in Winter?

In winter, use warm air to defog car windows. Methods to remove fog from car windows are as follows: Open windows for air circulation: Crack open both side windows slightly to allow air circulation inside the car. When the interior temperature approaches the outside temperature, the fog will dissipate. Use air conditioning to defog: Press the A/C button (A/C stands for air conditioning cooling), lower the temperature, turn on the window defogging button, and set the fan speed to maximum. As the moisture on the window surface evaporates, the window glass temperature will drop quickly, achieving the defogging effect. Use defogging spray: The principle of defogging spray is to apply a layer on the windshield, forming an effective protective film.

What does the tire pressure display 'bar' mean?

The display of 'bar' in car tire pressure monitoring refers to the unit of pressure, megapascal, which is atmospheric pressure, abbreviated as air pressure. Hazards of low tire pressure: A tire pressure of 210 is relatively low, with the standard tire pressure being 2.4-2.5. Low tire pressure increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire side, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder. Tire pressure: Tire pressure is the lifeblood of a tire, strictly referring to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.

Can Retreaded Tires Be Used?

Retreaded tires can be used. However, there are currently many sources of retreaded tires, and even if retreaded tires are used, it is necessary to use tires that are legal, compliant, and from regular channels. Currently, retreaded tires are mostly used for large heavy-duty vehicles and engineering vehicles, and are relatively less used in private cars. Here is some relevant information: The difference between retreaded tires and new tires: Color: Normal tires have a more natural color, while retreaded tires, often sprayed with black brighteners, appear more vibrant. Production date: If the production date of the tire is obscured or the production date is far from the current date, it is a retreaded tire. Tread pattern: Observe the tread pattern of the tire. New tires generally have neat and evenly distributed drainage grooves and tread patterns. If the tread pattern is unevenly distributed, it is a retreaded tire. The market for retreaded tires: Currently, the biggest problem facing China's tire recycling industry is the lack of legal and regulatory norms and guidance. Compared to European and American countries, China has not paid enough attention to the recycling of used tires, and has not established specialized regulations and institutions, provided financial subsidies, or offered tax exemptions and other measures to provide full support. This has led to the entry of inferior-quality retreaded tires produced by most small workshops into the tire market. These unscrupulous manufacturers retread the tires and then reattach famous-brand car tire labels. These inferior retreaded tires not only have poor quality and short lifespans but also affect braking performance and are prone to blowouts during use.

What Causes the Engine to Make a Clanking Sound?

Engine abnormal noise causes are as follows: Insufficient engine oil: Leads to inadequate lubrication of components, resulting in wear sounds. Adding engine oil can resolve the issue. Poor fuel combustion: Low injection pressure, injector dripping, poor fuel atomization, and delayed fuel supply timing can all cause poor combustion leading to engine knocking. Remove and inspect the injector for adjustment, adjust fuel supply timing, and replace parts if necessary to meet specifications. Premature fuel supply timing: Fuel injection starts before the piston reaches the designated position, causing premature combustion. High-pressure gas in the cylinder impacts the piston, producing rhythmic sounds. Throttling down makes knocking obvious. Adjusting the fuel injection advance angle can solve the problem.
