What Causes Poor Cooling in Car Air Conditioning?

There are several reasons why a car's air conditioning may not cool properly: 1. Excessive refrigerant, which reduces cooling efficiency. If the refrigerant or compressor oil contains too many impurities, minor blockages can occur, leading to insufficient cooling capacity. 2. Insufficient refrigerant, which directly results in inadequate cooling. A dirty condenser or a loose compressor drive belt can also cause the air conditioning to underperform. 3. Excessive impurities in the refrigerant or compressor oil can cause minor blockages, reducing cooling capacity. If there are too many contaminants in the refrigerant or compressor oil throughout the entire air conditioning system, the filter screen will inevitably become clogged. This restricts refrigerant flow, increases resistance, and reduces the amount of refrigerant reaching the expansion valve, ultimately leading to insufficient cooling capacity.

Can a New Car Frequently Drive on Highways?

A new car can drive on highways, but not too frequently, and the speed should not exceed 100km/h. Here are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Cold start warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. 2. Timely gear shifting: When driving a manual transmission car during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and do not use a single gear for extended periods. 3. Timely maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual, and perform inspections and maintenance, such as changing engine oil and oil filters, and thoroughly checking the chassis system after reaching certain mileage or time intervals. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

Which gear should be used when driving an automatic transmission car uphill?

Automatic transmission cars can use D gear or S gear when going uphill. The following is a detailed introduction to gear selection for different road conditions: 1. Uphill: This type of road section requires high torque intervention, and you can use "D-" to downshift. However, sometimes when there is sufficient power, it is also necessary to use "D+" to upshift to prevent power waste and damage to the engine and transmission. When encountering steep slopes, even after downshifting, you may still experience insufficient vehicle power. In this case, use the S gear (sport mode). 2. Downhill: Use "D+" to shift up to D2 or D3 gear, which can restrain the engine to achieve a braking effect. Generally, gears 2-3 are sufficient for moderate slopes, but when encountering steep slopes, pay attention to switching to gear 1. If the vehicle starts sliding faster, you should also use "D-" to downshift and control the vehicle.

What should be the tire pressure for front tires?

The tire pressure for front tires should be around 2.3 bar. Car tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The effects of abnormal tire pressure are: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Avoiding curbs and potholes to prevent sidewall ply breakage leading to tire bulges; 2. Regularly removing debris from tire grooves to prevent blowouts; 3. Checking tire wear and replacing them in time; 4. Performing tire rotation to avoid excessive wear; 5. Regularly checking tire pressure, ensuring it is neither too high nor too low.

What to Do When Vehicle Brakes Suddenly Fail?

Vehicle brake suddenly fails processing method is: 1. Release the accelerator pedal; 2. Shift to manual mode and manually downshift from high gear to low gear sequentially; 3. When pulling the handbrake, hold the release button and pull the handbrake continuously without locking it; 4. After the vehicle stops, shift into park. The reasons for sudden brake failure in vehicles are: 1. Impurities in the brake master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Vacuum booster pump failure; 3. Brake fluid is too dirty; 4. Brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder oil leakage; 5. Air leakage in the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Brake drum carbonization; 8. Lack of brake fluid in the brake master cylinder; 9. Wear of the brake master cylinder piston.

Which speed limit should pickup trucks follow on highways?

Pickup trucks must adhere to the speed limit regulations for trucks in the outermost lane, with a maximum speed limit of 100km/h, not 120km/h, and a minimum speed no less than 60km/h. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more will result in an immediate deduction of 12 driver's license points. Below are precautions for pickup trucks driving on highways: 1. Avoid overloading: The 2019 pickup truck policy clearly states that closed highway toll stations will implement non-stop weight detection at entry points. The purpose of not charging by weight is to prevent pickup trucks from exceeding weight limits. 2. Observe speed limits: If a pickup truck exceeds the speed limit by less than 10% on the highway, it will incur 3 points without a fine; exceeding the speed limit by 10% but less than 20% will result in 3 points and a 150 yuan fine; exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50% will incur 6 points and a 200 yuan fine; exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more will result in 12 points and a 1000 yuan fine.
