What Causes the Persistent Oil Mist on the Inside of the Windshield?

During normal driving, the exhaust emitted by vehicles ahead contains many unburned fuel particles, which settle on the front windshield and over time form an oily film. Here are some related explanations: 1. Dishwashing Liquid: Those who are handy can clean the front windshield area with dishwashing liquid. If cleaning doesn’t resolve the issue, it’s recommended to seek professional help at a car detailing shop. 2. Glass Cleaner: A specialized glass cleaner designed to remove oily films should be used for wiping. Its function is to make it harder for the oily film to adhere to the glass. Before use, it’s best to clean the window first; otherwise, the cleaning effect will be significantly reduced. After the glass cleaner dries, it turns white like wax and can be wiped off with a soft cloth.

How Long Does a Throttle Body Last?

There is no specific lifespan for a throttle body, but it is recommended to clean it every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Below is some relevant information about throttle bodies: 1. Function: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, earning it the nickname "the throat of the car engine." 2. Types: There are two main types of throttle bodies: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle body operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate.

Which Hybrid Vehicles Can Get Green License Plates?

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are eligible for green license plates. Green license plates are designated for new energy vehicles, which include four main types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices). Below is relevant information about new energy vehicle license plates: New energy vehicle license plates are primarily green and are divided into special plates for small new energy vehicles and large new energy vehicles, measuring 48 cm by 14 cm. The number of digits on the plate has increased by one, from five to six digits. The special plate for small new energy vehicles features a gradient green design, while the special plate for large new energy vehicles uses a combination of yellow and green.

How Many Digits Does a License Plate Number Consist Of?

License plate numbers consist of 7 digits. The first digit represents the abbreviation of the province or municipality, the second digit represents the abbreviation of the prefecture-level city, and the third to seventh digits are a combination of numbers and letters. Functions of license plate numbers: 1. To number and register information for vehicles; 2. To identify the region to which a vehicle belongs; 3. To look up the owner and registration information of a vehicle based on the license plate. Types of license plate numbers: 1. White plates represent military and police vehicles; 2. Blue plates represent ordinary small vehicles with fewer than 7 seats; 3. Yellow plates represent ordinary large vehicles; 4. Black plates represent vehicles owned by foreign investors in China.

What does it mean when a car displays 'Check ESP'?

When a car displays 'Check ESP', it indicates a malfunction in the ESP system. The recommended approach is to reduce driving speed and avoid excessive steering or turning. The working principle of ESP is: based on sensor signals to determine the driving state, the control unit calculates and performs precise control. When rotation, understeer, or oversteer occurs, it individually controls each wheel to enhance vehicle stability. The functions of ESP are: 1. Precisely controlling the braking process of one or more wheels, distributing the braking force applied to each wheel; 2. The EPS system automatically adjusts the engine's output torque to control the vehicle's speed; 3. Forcing the car to generate a rotational torque around its center of mass, replacing the driver in adjusting the vehicle's direction.
