New Mondeo's squeaking windows when rolling up and down can be repaired at a 4S shop. Functions of opening car windows: Opening a single car window while driving can ventilate the car, especially when smoking inside. Opening one side of the car window will quickly expel the smoke from the car. It is recommended that owners do not smoke while driving, as it can easily affect normal driving operations. Opening three windows simultaneously: Three windows can be opened at the same time because this method of opening windows will cause abnormal air circulation inside the car, and the air movement has a clear directionality, so the odor inside the car will be quickly discharged. Opening the windows diagonally while driving will reduce the noise inside the car, not only with good ventilation effect but also without affecting normal driving.

I've been driving my new Mondeo for several years, and the squeaking noise when rolling the windows up and down is really annoying. This is mainly due to dust or sand particles accumulated in the tracks, causing friction and noise; aging and hardening of the rubber seals are also common causes, especially if the car is parked outdoors for a long time, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can dry out and crack the seals. I had this issue last time—wiping the tracks with a damp cloth and spraying some dedicated window lubricant made the noise much quieter. If left unattended, the window regulator gears will wear out faster, leading to more expensive repairs and safety issues—it's a real hassle when the window won't close during rain. This is a common issue with new cars, so I recommend regularly cleaning the tracks and avoiding household lubricants, as they can damage the rubber seals.

Where is the fuel filter of the Sportage located?

The fuel filter of the Sportage is located under the rear seats. Remove the rear seats and open the cover below to access the fuel filter. Detailed information is as follows: 1. The fuel filter, also known as the gasoline filter, is a component that filters out water and impurities from gasoline. The quality of gasoline is crucial for the vehicle. If the gasoline contains a high level of impurities, it can damage components such as the fuel injector, fuel pump, and fuel lines in the engine, affecting the normal operation of the fuel system. The fuel filter removes solid impurities like iron oxide and dust, as well as water from the gasoline. 2. Over time, a clogged fuel filter loses its filtering capability, increasing air intake resistance, reducing engine power, worsening engine performance, increasing fuel consumption, and leading to carbon deposits. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect the fuel filter and replace it approximately every 10,000 kilometers.

Do Small Cracks in Tires Need to Be Replaced?

Tire small cracks are normal aging cracks or wear, and such cracks can be temporarily left without replacement, but regular inspections are necessary. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire Introduction: Tires are the only part of a car that comes into contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this approach is acceptable. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low within those four years. Since tires can also age when left unused for extended periods, it is important to check the production date when purchasing tires.
