Here are the reasons for abnormal noises when the car air conditioner is turned on: 1. The car air conditioner's compressor is damaged due to lack of lubrication, worn shaft, inability to compress air normally, or air leakage. When the air conditioner compressor has problems, the car's air conditioning system will produce abnormal noises or fail to cool. 2. Blocked air conditioner vents. The solution to abnormal noises caused by blocked air conditioner vents is simple—just clean the vents promptly. It's important to note that the car air conditioner filter should also be cleaned and replaced regularly. Generally, it should be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers. 3. Worn fan blades. If the fan blades are worn, the fan bearings lack lubrication, or the fan blades are stuck by foreign objects, the car air conditioner may produce a rattling noise. In this case, the fan blades need to be removed for detailed inspection. 4. Engine noise. If the engine belt is loose or produces noise for other reasons. 5. Blower or air conditioner flap motor noise. Abnormal noises may occur due to foreign object blockage or damage to the components themselves.

How to Easily Practice Green Driving?

Green driving habits can be developed through daily driving training, such as avoiding sudden acceleration, hard braking, and excessive lane changes. However, since the fuel-saving effects are not immediately apparent, drivers may lack motivation. A device called the "Green Driving Behavior Trainer" can assist in cultivating green driving behaviors. More details are as follows: 1. Definition of Green Driving: Green driving refers to driving methods that save fuel, reduce exhaust emissions, and extend the vehicle's lifespan. By adopting certain techniques, drivers can train themselves to achieve green driving. The Green Driving Behavior Trainer works by reading OBD data from the vehicle, calculating optimal driving methods, and using prompts, scoring, alerts, and displays to train drivers, ultimately achieving fuel-saving and low-carbon goals. 2. Benefits of Green Driving: Simply improving driving habits can enhance fuel economy and reduce operating costs. Through simple yet effective green driving techniques, fuel efficiency (and cost savings) can be improved by up to 47%. The energy for green driving comes from gasoline, which powers the engine—without it, the car cannot move. The more work the car performs, the more energy it requires.

Does it matter if the insured of the car insurance is not the owner?

If the policyholder of the car insurance is not the owner, it does not affect the claims process. The insurance company will specify who the owner is, and the claims process requires the insured's ID card and bank card. All compensation matters are only directed at the vehicle's policyholder. Owners should ensure timely renewal of the insurance upon expiry and avoid duplicate coverage. Even if a duplicate coverage is purchased for a particular insurance type, it will not result in excess compensation in case of a claim. Car insurance includes the following items: Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance type that all vehicle owners must purchase. The only drawback is that the compensation amount is relatively small. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance type serves as a supplement to the compulsory traffic insurance. Both cover compensation for third parties, but in the event of an accident, the compensation will be based on the insured's degree of responsibility. In many traffic accidents, the insurance contract may include some non-deductible clauses, which are the insurer's exemption clauses. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers compensation for the loss or damage to your own vehicle, but not all losses are covered. For example, separate damages to glass, exterior rearview mirrors, or tires (including rims) are not covered by the insurance company. Additionally, damages caused by earthquakes, drunk driving, or hit-and-run incidents are also not covered by the insurance company.

Which is better for a newly purchased car: coating or crystal coating?

Here are the specific differences between crystal coating and regular coating: 1. Durability differs: Regular coating does not increase the surface hardness of the paint and will peel off quickly, unable to protect the car paint for a long time. Crystal coating is formed by nano-materials reacting with moisture in the air to create a crystalline layer, which not only increases the surface hardness of the paint but also does not peel off, providing long-term protection for the car paint. 2. Different compositions: The main component of regular coating is generally organic, while crystal coating mainly consists of inorganic silicon dioxide. 3. Different hardness: Crystal coating is crystalline and has higher hardness than regular coating.

What does the expiration date of pre-selected license plate numbers mean?

After successfully selecting a custom license plate number, the number will be reserved for 3 working days starting from the next day (the 3 working days are calculated from the next working day after the license plate number is confirmed, and will be extended in case of national statutory holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays). If an online-selected license plate is chosen before it expires, you must wait for three working days after the original selection automatically becomes invalid before you can go to the vehicle management office to select a new number. During this period, vehicles that have successfully selected a license plate number online are not allowed to re-select a number or modify already submitted information via the internet. If you are dissatisfied with the online-selected license plate, you can log in to the online license plate selection system again after 3 working days to choose a more satisfactory number. Each vehicle has two opportunities to select a license plate number. When selecting a number at the vehicle management office, relevant vehicle information must first be entered according to system requirements, such as the vehicle identification number (VIN). The entered information must be consistent with the registration information at the vehicle management office; otherwise, the number selection will not take effect.

What Causes Insufficient Battery Power in Vehicles?

Vehicle battery power insufficiency can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Prolonged vehicle inactivity leading to battery discharge: When a car remains unused, the battery naturally discharges due to its self-discharge characteristics, even without any electrical load. Additionally, alarm systems consume significant power when triggered. High-end vehicles equipped with intelligent remote anti-theft systems using GPS technology connected to the battery are more prone to complete battery depletion. 2. Battery reaching end of service life: Most private vehicles use maintenance-free batteries. By cleaning the battery's inspection window and observing the color inside: green indicates normal battery status; black suggests low voltage and insufficient charge, solvable by recharging; white signifies the battery has reached its lifespan, requiring replacement as the only solution.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from S to D?

Shifting from S to D does not require pressing the brake, nor do shifts between other driving gears. Here’s a detailed introduction to car gear positions: 1. P (Parking) Gear: When the gear lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral, but the output shaft is mechanically locked. The car will remain stationary even without pressing the brake, typically used for long-term parking. When engaging P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Never shift into P gear before the car has fully stopped, and always engage the handbrake. On slopes, pull the handbrake first before shifting into P. 2. R (Reverse) Gear: When the gear lever is in the R position, the transmission's output shaft rotates opposite to the engine's direction, enabling the car to move backward. The car must be fully stationary before shifting into R gear. 3. N (Neutral) Gear: In the N position, the transmission's gears idle, and the clutch is disengaged, minimizing load. N gear is used for short stops or when towing the car. 4. D (Drive) Gear: In D position, the transmission automatically shifts between the lowest and highest gears based on speed, throttle opening, and preset shift patterns. D gear is suitable for most driving conditions.
