Car washing should use car-specific cleaning agents, and there are brands such as Turtle Wax and Red Magic on the market. When purchasing, ensure that the cleaning agent is pH-neutral. Neutral cleaning agents protect the car paint from damage during washing, are gentle on the skin, and often contain car wax components to better protect the paint surface. Remember, do not use laundry detergent as a substitute for car cleaning agents during car washing, as laundry detergent is alkaline and can corrode the car paint. More details are as follows: 1. Currently, environmental pollution in many cities is becoming increasingly severe. After rain, acidic rainwater can erode the car's paint surface and numerous rubber components on the chassis. If the car is not washed promptly after rain, it can further accelerate the aging of the paint surface, and the chassis may produce significant noise while driving. 2. As for the frequency of car washing, it doesn't need to be overly frequent. Washing once a week is sufficient. For general dust, gently wiping with a feather duster or a soft-bristled mop is enough. However, if the car encounters heavy rain, mud, or severe dust, it should be washed promptly.

Can halogen lights be converted to LED lights just by replacing the bulbs?

Converting halogen lights to LED lights cannot be done just by replacing the bulbs; the entire LED light assembly needs to be replaced. Simply changing the bulbs will not be effective. If the original vehicle does not have lenses, it is recommended not to modify the lights, as the improvement will be minimal and may cause glare for the driver, affecting visibility and posing significant safety risks. To achieve good lighting effects with LED lights, the best approach is to install lenses. The installation of lenses depends on the vehicle model, as sufficient space inside the headlight housing is required for proper installation. For example, if the vehicle originally lacks lenses, modifying the lights would require removing the headlight housing, bumper, etc. Such operations rely heavily on the technician's experience. If not installed properly, the headlight housing may easily accumulate water or become foggy during rainy or foggy weather, further compromising driving safety.

If the vehicle is turned off without activating the electronic parking brake, it will automatically engage. 2. Emergency braking with electronic parking brake: When the vehicle cannot be stopped using the foot pedal brake, pull and hold the electronic parking brake switch for more than 2 seconds to perform emergency braking. 3. Deactivate the electronic parking brake: While stepping on the brake, press the electronic parking brake switch. The indicator lights on both the dashboard and the switch will turn off.

What does AFL light maintenance mean?

AFL light maintenance means that the automatic headlights need to be repaired. The AFL light is part of the automatic headlight system. Every time the vehicle starts, the headlights perform a self-check by moving up, down, left, and right. The main function of headlights is to illuminate the road ahead and alert pedestrians or other vehicles to the presence of the car. Automatic headlights can turn on when ambient light is insufficient, ensuring driving safety. The automatic headlight feature only works when the light control is set to the automatic mode (AUTO mode). This allows drivers to avoid the hassle of manually switching the lights on when needed and also prevents forgetting to turn on the headlights at night or in poor lighting conditions, thereby enhancing driving safety.

What do T and L stand for in cars?

What T and L stand for in cars: T stands for turbocharging, a technology that uses the exhaust gas generated by internal combustion engine operation to drive an air compressor; L generally has two meanings, one is the code for engine displacement "liter", and the other is indicating that the model is an extended version. When L represents displacement, it is only denoted by numbers. Naturally aspirated engines with the L designation are mature in technology, powerful, and inexpensive to maintain in the long run. In terms of smooth power output and direct responsiveness, they are far superior to turbocharged engines. At the same time, L can also be understood as a long-wheelbase version, with some extended models using L in their tail badges.

What Does Adaptive Cruise Control Mean?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an intelligent automatic control system that evolved from the existing cruise control technology. During vehicle operation, a distance sensor installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while wheel speed sensors collect speed signals. The advantage of the adaptive cruise control system lies in its ability not only to maintain the driver's preset speed but also to reduce speed as needed under specific driving conditions, even applying automatic braking. When the vehicle speed exceeds 30 kilometers per hour, regardless of how the driver is operating the vehicle, the adaptive cruise control system will intervene to maintain the preset speed. To achieve this, the system either automatically increases engine power or reduces engine power and downshifts the transmission to utilize engine braking for speed reduction.

What is a Parking Brake?

Parking brake refers to the manually operated brake installed in motor vehicles, commonly known as the handbrake. It is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. The typical handbrake is usually located within easy reach of the driver's right hand for convenient operation. Some automatic transmission models on the market feature a foot brake with the same functionality as the handbrake, positioned outside the driver's left foot. Advanced models may also be equipped with an electronic parking brake system. To engage the parking brake, press the brake pedal down and pull the parking brake lever fully upward. To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal down, slightly pull the parking brake lever upward, press the button on the handle with your thumb, and then lower the parking brake lever back to its original position.
