When the air conditioning is on, the temperature inside the evaporator is low, causing the air to condense. The condensed water is discharged through a dedicated drain hole inside the car, leading to water flowing out from the chassis near the passenger side, which is a normal occurrence. Below are relevant details: 1. Location: The water dripping from the car's air conditioning system is typically located towards the middle-right side of the front of the car. Therefore, if you drive for a while in summer, turn off the engine, and wait for some time, you may notice water dripping from the middle-right side of the chassis. Soon, a puddle of clean, transparent water can be seen on the ground beneath the car. This is not a sign of any problem with the vehicle but rather the water discharged by the car's air conditioning system. 2. Exhaust Pipe: It is also normal for the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car to drip water, a phenomenon that mostly occurs during winter.

How Long Does a Car Maintenance Usually Take?

Car maintenance can take as little as 40 minutes or as long as two to three hours, depending on the number of maintenance items required for the vehicle. Here are some car maintenance precautions: 1. If the car's paint surface is stained for a long time, the paint will be damaged, and the glossiness will decrease. Regularly clean the car body to maintain its cleanliness. 2. The longer the engine oil is used, the more turbid it becomes, which can damage the car's engine. Pay attention to regular oil maintenance. 3. If the car's radiator runs out of water, it may cause the engine to burn out. Regularly check if there is enough water in the radiator. 4. The longer the car's brake pads are used, the more they wear out, and the braking effect will deteriorate. To avoid this, replace the brake pads regularly.

Do modified wheels need to be registered?

Modifying wheels does not require registration as long as the size remains the same as the original wheels; however, changing the size does require registration. If the wheel size is altered without registering at the vehicle management office, it is considered illegal. If caught by traffic police, the owner will be ordered to revert the modification and may face fines and penalty points. Below are some relevant additional details: 1. According to the motor vehicle registration regulations: Any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for modification registration. 2. Upgrading to a high-quality set of wheels can improve heat dissipation and reduce weight, enhancing both static and dynamic visual appeal while also boosting the vehicle's handling performance. Increasing the wheel diameter, width, and lowering the profile can collectively improve the tire's grip.

How to Deal with Excessive Airbag Resistance?

Methods for handling excessive airbag resistance: 1. Check for open circuits: When the wiring harness is poorly connected, causing an open circuit, the system will indicate excessive resistance. 2. Use computer diagnostics: Use a computer to read and determine which airbag has excessive resistance, then check if the corresponding wiring harness connector is loose. 3. Inspect the airbag internally: Check if the airbag connector is loose. If it is secure and unobstructed, it indicates an internal fault in the airbag. 4. Check the airbag clock spring: Inspect whether the wiring under the airbag is properly connected to determine if the airbag clock spring is damaged. 5. Check the airbag device: If the fault code indicates excessive resistance in the airbag control unit, it is usually caused by an open circuit in the two wires of the airbag device, and damage to the airbag reset ring is more likely to cause excessive resistance in the airbag device.

Can You Still Drive with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning On?

You should not drive when the vehicle's tire pressure warning is on. The reasons for the warning are: 1. The tire has been punctured; 2. The tire pressure is too high; 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long; 4. Malfunction of the tire pressure sensor; 5. The tire pressure has dropped due to prolonged lack of inflation. The methods to address the tire pressure warning are: 1. Immediately reduce speed and avoid rapid steering and sudden braking; 2. Turn off the engine, wait for 2 minutes, then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure value displayed on the dashboard; 3. While inflating or deflating the tire, observe the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard. Stop inflating when the light turns off, and release excess air if overinflated; 4. If the tire pressure light still does not turn off after adjustment, manually reset the tire pressure by pressing the set button on the vehicle's central control dashboard.
