Power wiring faults, memory card issues, or problems with the dash cam itself can all cause it to power off and restart automatically. Below are the three main causes and their solutions: 1. Power port malfunction: Take it to an auto repair shop for inspection. Check the dash cam's wiring, unplug its power connector, and try reconnecting with a different power cable. 2. Memory card failure: If the memory card has poor contact, place a small piece of paper behind it for better fit; if the card itself is faulty, remove and format it. 3. Dash cam malfunction: Reset the dash cam to factory settings. If the issue persists, contact after-sales service for quality inspection.

How to Avoid Cold Start in Cars?

Cold start in cars is unavoidable, and 99% of engine wear occurs at the moment of cold start. During a cold start, the engine oil is still in the oil pan, and the engine temperature is relatively low. At the instant of cold start, the engine operates without oil lubrication, resulting in dry friction. Within seconds after the engine starts, the oil quickly reaches all necessary lubrication points and forms an oil film, providing lubrication to the engine. The main reason for cold start difficulty is the low engine temperature. To prevent this, it is essential to keep the engine warm and avoid direct cold wind exposure to the engine compartment. A simple and effective method is to park the car facing a building in winter, using the structure to block cold winds and prevent excessive cooling of the engine.

What is a Cold Start for Cars?

Car cold start refers to starting the vehicle directly without preheating and driving without warming up. For cars, when just started, the engine oil has not yet lubricated all engine components, especially the crankshaft and crankshaft bearings, which are prone to damage. The vehicle's driving capability also decreases, shortening the engine's lifespan. After a car has been parked for 4 hours, the engine oil will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity. At this point, restarting the engine means the oil cannot quickly reach all parts of the engine, leading to dry friction wear. The method to protect the engine is to preheat it in advance, allowing it to run without load for 5 to 10 minutes (15 to 20 minutes for diesel engines), keeping the water temperature between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, which is the optimal temperature.

What does AC in the car mean?

AC in the car is the abbreviation of Air Conditioning in English. Pressing the AC button starts the air conditioning to adjust the temperature according to the set value, while turning it off only activates the air blower without temperature adjustment. To quickly lower the temperature inside the car in summer, you can adjust the position of the air vents. According to the principle of air convection, hot air rises while cold air sinks. The car air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car compartment to the optimal state. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, creates good working conditions for the driver, and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.
