What Causes the Front Windshield to Become Blurry?

Front windshield blurriness occurs due to a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle, leading to fogging, which makes it appear blurry. This situation can be resolved by turning on the air conditioning and directing cold air at the windshield, which will clear the fog in 3-5 seconds. Below are the functions of a car's air conditioning system: 1. Temperature Regulation: This is the primary function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the cabin temperature; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters, most vehicles utilize residual heat for warming. 2. Humidity Regulation: Humidity significantly affects passenger comfort. Cabin humidity should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioning systems do not regulate humidity; only ventilation systems or advanced luxury vehicles with integrated heating and cooling systems can adjust humidity. 3. Airflow Regulation: The speed and direction of airflow greatly impact comfort. If air is blown directly, the speed should be limited within a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The airflow speed can be adjusted based on passengers' living environments, age, health conditions, and temperature preferences. 4. Air Purification: Cabin air quality is crucial for ensuring comfort.

What lights to use when going straight through an intersection in Subject 3?

In the voice command lighting test of Subject 3 driving exam, when hearing the instruction "go straight through the intersection", the examinee should use low beam headlights; another scenario is when prompted to pass through an intersection without traffic lights, then the examinee should alternately switch between high and low beams twice. Exam tips: 1. Upon hearing "approaching intersection", the examinee should brake to reduce speed, observe traffic conditions from both sides, and pass safely. At signalized intersections, follow traffic light instructions. If traffic congestion prevents movement, stop the vehicle behind the safety line and wait - stopping within the intersection is prohibited. 2. If there's a crosswalk, follow crosswalk operation requirements simultaneously. 3. Following the five essentials of defensive driving: "left foot not constantly pressing, right foot not idly pressing" - when not accelerating, the right foot shouldn't rest on the accelerator pedal but should hover over the brake pedal. When stopping to yield, always engage the handbrake first before shifting to neutral. Never stop while holding the clutch in gear when waiting. Restarting must use half-clutch technique before releasing the handbrake. 4. During night tests, "alternate between high and low beams" should be demonstrated more than twice as a signal.

Can the car run the air conditioner without turning off the engine?

It is possible to run the air conditioner without turning off the engine for a short period of time. However, doing so for an extended period can lead to increased carbon deposits in the car's engine. The car air conditioner is an important comfort feature that can provide both cooling and heating, making it essential during both winter and summer seasons. When the car air conditioner is in cooling mode, the compressor clutch engages, and the engine drives the compressor to operate. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, thereby cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower, allowing the car air conditioner to emit cold air from the vents.

Where to Place the ETC on the Car Windshield?

The ETC installation position for small cars is generally in the upper-middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower-middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters in height, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with built-in or later-added explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it on the right side behind the rearview mirror can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note that: the ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

How to Bleed Air from a Car Radiator?

Methods for bleeding air from a car radiator: 1. After filling with coolant, keep the radiator cap open, then insert the key and turn on the ignition switch; 2. Set the air conditioning to heating mode, turn up the temperature and reduce the fan speed; 3. Turn on the daytime running lights, which means pushing the headlight switch one notch to the right; 4. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down for about 10 seconds. The engine cooling system dissipates part of the heat absorbed by heated components in time to ensure the engine works at an appropriate temperature. The main components include the thermostat, water pump, water pump belt, radiator, cooling fan, water temperature sensor, expansion tank, and heating device. The cooling system of a car engine is a forced circulation water cooling system, which uses the water pump to increase the pressure of the coolant and force the coolant to circulate in the engine.

Does the vehicle width include the rearview mirrors?

Vehicle width does not include the rearview mirrors. The body width is defined as the distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the car, which is the distance between the left and right protruding positions of the body. The body width does not include the extended width of the left and right rearview mirrors, meaning the protruding positions should be selected after the mirrors are folded. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. The limitation on vehicle height is to ensure adequate vertical clearance under bridges and overhead utilities like cables, as well as to guarantee the rollover stability of the vehicle. The limitation on the total length of the vehicle affects the time required for overtaking or for the vehicle to pass through another road or railway line. Internal vehicle dimensions such as front overhang, rear overhang, and wheelbase influence the required width on curves and the vehicle's load capacity.
