Reasons why the windshield wiper does not spray water: 1. Insufficient washer fluid; 2. Incorrect washer fluid selection causing freezing in cold weather, which may crack the washer fluid reservoir; 3. Malfunction of the windshield washer pump; 4. Failure of the washer fluid hose or nozzles; 5. Blown fuse for the washer pump motor. There are generally two types of windshield wipers: one is the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common wiper with three to four speed settings, allowing the driver to adjust according to rain intensity and visibility conditions; the other is the rain-sensing type, mostly used in mid-to-high-end models. A good windshield wiper should be heat-resistant, cold-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, able to fit the windshield perfectly, reduce the motor's load, produce low noise, have strong water-repellent properties, and be soft enough not to scratch the windshield, ensuring clear visibility.

Can the ETC device be installed on the black dot area?

ETC devices can be installed on the black dot area of the windshield, as long as they do not obstruct the driver's view and can detect the toll station's scanning equipment. However, installing them outside the black dot area has drawbacks, such as reduced solar charging capability, which may lead to power depletion over time. Correct ETC installation positions: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the middle lower part. ETC installation requirements: height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane). ETC installation procedure: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the OBU's adhesive backing and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Gear Oil Be Changed?

Manual transmissions typically require gear oil changes every 100,000 kilometers, while automatic transmissions usually need changes every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below are some key points about transmission systems: 1. Gear oil in manual transmissions serves lubrication and cooling functions; in automatic transmissions, it performs lubrication, cooling, and power transmission roles. 2. The control mechanisms of automatic transmissions require transmission fluid to operate properly, with some automatic transmission fluids also serving power transmission purposes. 3. Torque converter transmissions connect to the engine through the torque converter - these transmissions contain transmission fluid within their torque converters, which plays a crucial role in power transmission.

How to Activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on the Mercedes-Benz B200?

Method to activate the tire pressure monitoring system on the Mercedes-Benz B200: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors the tire pressure, is installed directly inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting a curb, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Is the Mustang fuel-consuming?

Ford Mustang is relatively fuel-consuming, with an average fuel consumption of about 13L per 100 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. As the weather gets hotter, many drivers turn on the air conditioning to cool down. However, if you find that the cooling effect of the air conditioning is not very good, meaning you need to increase the fan speed or lower the temperature to feel cool, it is likely that there is a fault in the air conditioning refrigeration system, which will significantly increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. 2. Always pay attention to whether the tire pressure is within the specified range. When the tire pressure is appropriate (with even tread wear), it not only provides better driving performance and more responsive steering but also reduces rolling resistance, thereby lowering fuel consumption.
