The steps for applying solar film are as follows: 1. Wash the car. Ensure the working environment is clean and thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of the car windows to avoid affecting the subsequent installation. 2. Cut the film. Cut the film to the appropriate size according to the glass, slightly larger if needed, but never smaller, as it will shrink a bit after being blown by a heat gun. 3. Lay the film. Typically, automotive solar films consist of a protective layer and the film itself. Before application, spray some water on the glass and also on the adhesive side of the film to reduce its stickiness, making it easier to adjust and align the film. 4. Shape the film. Since car windows have a certain curvature, use a heat gun to shape the film. During the heating process, control the temperature and movement speed of the heat gun to avoid prolonged exposure to one area, ensuring no damage occurs. 5. Apply the film. After shaping, proceed with the installation. Spray some cleaning solution on the inner side of the glass and also on the adhesive side of the film. Once aligned, begin the formal application.

Must the yellow dot on the tire be aligned with the valve stem?

It must be aligned. Below is an introduction to the yellow and red dots on tires: 1. Introduction to the yellow dot: The hollow yellow dot is the light point mark of the tire, indicating that this position is the lightest part of the tire. A car wheel is composed of three parts: the tire, the rim, and the valve stem. The valve stem is installed on the rim and corresponds to the heaviest point on the rim. When assembling the tire, aligning the yellow mark on the tire with the heaviest point on the rim can achieve better dynamic balance. 2. Introduction to the red dot: The solid red dot represents the point of maximum longitudinal rigidity of the tire. Simply put, the position marked with the red dot is the point with the greatest vibration on the tire. When the vehicle rotates once on the surface, each position inside the tire will bear different compressive forces, which will indirectly affect driving comfort.

What are the test items for the C1 driver's license subject three exam?

The C1 driver's license subject three exam includes preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the driving scope of a C1 driver's license includes: small and micro passenger vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons; light and micro cargo vehicles, with the total length of the truck not exceeding 6 meters; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger vehicles carrying no more than 9 people, meaning it cannot drive vehicles with 9 or more seats. A C1 driver's license also allows driving vehicles covered by C2, C3, and C4 licenses. Precautions for the C1 subject three exam are as follows: Preparation before the exam: Walk around the car once before getting on, and pause near the monitoring area. Light simulation: Check if the light switches are reset before the simulation test begins. Starting: Observe the surrounding traffic environment before starting. During driving: Keep your eyes on the road ahead and avoid following too closely. The penalty points for the C1 driver's license subject three exam are as follows: Failing to observe the rear and right traffic conditions through the inner and outer rearview mirrors before stopping results in disqualification. Failing to stop within the specified distance after the examiner issues the command to pull over results in disqualification. After stopping, if the vehicle body exceeds the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, it results in disqualification. Before opening the door after stopping, failing to turn your head to observe the side and rear traffic conditions results in disqualification. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal before stopping deducts 10 points. Turning the steering wheel less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal before stopping deducts 10 points. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, it deducts 10 points. Failing to pull the parking brake lever tightly after stopping deducts 10 points. Releasing the foot brake before pulling the parking brake lever deducts 10 points. Failing to turn off the engine before getting out of the car deducts 5 points.

How to Quickly Solve Overheating Radiator?

Solutions for an overheating radiator are as follows: 1. Engine overheating due to insufficient coolant: Do not add cold water immediately. First, move the car to a ventilated and shady area. Then open the engine hood and wait for the coolant temperature to drop before adding water. 2. Engine overheating due to leakage: Many small tubes are installed on the coolant reservoir, and leakage may be caused by loose or damaged hoses. In an emergency, you can wrap the damaged hose with tape or a plastic bag, then refill the water and continue driving. 3. Engine overheating due to thermostat failure: The thermostat is usually installed at the top of the engine. If the coolant temperature does not reach a certain level, it cannot send water to the radiator. Therefore, the thermostat may prevent water from being sent to the radiator even when the temperature reaches the baseline, or send too little water, causing the engine to overheat. In this case, immediately go to the nearest repair shop. 4. If there is no coolant in an emergency, water can be used as a substitute: However, you must replace it with coolant immediately after reaching your destination and solving the problem. Prolonged use of water can reduce the cooling system's efficiency, increase fuel consumption, and decrease engine power.

What does engine boosting mean?

It means increasing horsepower and enhancing explosive power. Turbocharging in automobiles refers to the process where exhaust gases are not directly released into the atmosphere but instead used to drive a turbocharger, which pressurizes the intake air, thereby improving intake efficiency. It can also increase power output and reduce fuel consumption. More details are as follows: 1. Principle: As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbocharger speed also increase synchronously, enhancing the degree of air compression. This results in a corresponding increase in the engine's air intake, thereby boosting the engine's output power. 2. Impact of turbocharging on maximum power: After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with a turbocharger.

What does 0W20 engine oil mean?

0W20 engine oil means it has the best low-temperature fluidity but relatively average high-temperature performance, indicating the oil is relatively thin. The letter W in the engine oil grade stands for Winter. The number before the W indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The number after the W represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius, affecting the oil's adhesion performance at high temperatures. Here is some related information about automotive engine oil: 1. Automotive engine oil grades: S at the beginning represents gasoline engine oil, followed by letters from A, B, C, D, to N. The higher the letter, the higher the grade. Currently, the market typically offers grades above SG, including SG, SJ, SL, SM, and SN. Vehicles with low engine technology, such as microcars or older models like the Jetta, can use SG-grade oil. SL offers the best anti-wear performance, while SM/SN usually includes special formulations for environmental considerations. 2. Classification of automotive engine oil: Automotive engine oil is specifically classified into 4 types for summer use, 6 types for winter use, and 16 types for all-season use. Summer oils are labeled 20, 30, 40, and 50, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity and suitability for higher temperatures. Winter oils are labeled 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W, where W stands for Winter. The smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for lower temperatures. All-season oils are labeled 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-20, 15W-30, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-20, 20W-30, 20W-40, and 20W-50. The smaller the number representing the winter part, and the larger the number representing the summer part, the higher the viscosity and the wider the applicable temperature range.

How many points are deducted for stopping 30-50 cm beyond the line in the uphill parking test (Subject 2)?

Stopping 30-50 cm beyond the line in the uphill parking test (Subject 2) results in a 10-point deduction. Below are details about partial deductions for the uphill parking test: 1. Scoring criteria: If the vehicle's front bumper (for cars) or front axle (for motorcycles) fails to stop on the pole line and exceeds 50 cm in either direction, it results in failure. If the vehicle stops within 50 cm of the pole line without exceeding it, a 10-point deduction is applied (previously 20 points). 2. Key points: Accurately estimate the target by using reference points such as the parking pole and a specific spot on the windshield or hood (this varies by vehicle model and driver height and should be determined during practice). When the reference point aligns with the parking pole in a straight line, indicating the bumper is aligned with the pole line, stop immediately.
