This is the indicator light for the car's anti-theft system. In some cars, the indicator light is located near the windshield, while in others, it is near the driver's side door window. The flashing of this indicator light is normal. Methods to turn off the red flashing light on the windshield: Modern car anti-theft systems are generally quite advanced, and most cars come with a remote key. Simply press the remote to unlock or lock the doors as usual. Some cars are also equipped with a push-button start system. After getting into the car, there's no need to take out the key and insert it into the ignition; just carry the key with you and press the push-button start to start the engine. Some cars feature a keyless entry function. When you are close enough to the car with the key, pressing the button on the door handle will unlock the car. Some cars have both keyless entry and push-button start functions. From unlocking the doors to getting into the car and starting the engine, you hardly ever need to take out the key or press any buttons, significantly enhancing convenience. Additionally, some car keys can be paired with a smartphone. As long as the phone supports NFC functionality, you only need to carry your phone to unlock the doors and start the engine. Remote keys generally contain batteries, which typically need to be replaced after two to three years of use. Replacing the battery is simple, and those who are handy can do it themselves.

How Often Should Motorcycles Undergo Annual Inspection?

For motorcycles within 4 years of use, inspections are required every 2 years. For those reaching or exceeding 4 years, annual inspections are mandatory. During the annual inspection process, the vehicle owner or organization must complete an annual motor vehicle inspection form and submit the motorcycle to a designated location on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. If special circumstances prevent timely participation in the inspection, an extension request should be submitted in advance to the local vehicle management office. Motorcycles, powered by gasoline engines and steered via handlebar-controlled front wheels, are two or three-wheeled vehicles known for their lightweight agility and rapid mobility. They are widely used for patrol duties, passenger/cargo transport, and as sports equipment. Motorcycle categories include street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and tourers.

How Many Types of Antifreeze Are There?

Antifreeze can be divided into 3 types: ethanol type, ethylene glycol type, and glycerol type. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the vehicle is parked in cold seasons. It is not only used in winter but all year round. Antifreeze is an essential working medium to ensure the normal operation of water-cooled engines, consisting of three parts: water, antifreeze agent, and additives.

Can a cracked wheel hub still be used?

A cracked wheel hub cannot be used anymore. Once cracks or gaps appear on the wheel hub, it can easily lead to slow air leakage in the tire. Additionally, the car may experience shaking while driving, which is quite dangerous. The wheel hub is a crucial component of a vehicle, responsible for ensuring safe and normal operation. Cracks in the wheel hub pose a safety hazard to the vehicle. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal part that supports the tire from the inside and is mounted on the axle. It is also known as the rim, steel rim, or wheel. Wheel hubs can generally be divided into two types: painted and plated. Plated wheel hubs further include silver plating, water plating, and pure plating, among others.

Do the Engine and Transmission Use the Same Oil?

Engines and transmissions do not use the same oil. The engine uses engine oil, while the transmission uses transmission fluid. Engine oil is the lubricant for the engine system, possessing properties such as oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and anti-corrosion. On the other hand, transmission fluid primarily serves to keep the gear system clean and extends the service life of internal transmission components. Due to the differences in structure and operating environments between the transmission and the engine, transmission fluid cannot be used as engine oil, nor can engine oil be used as transmission fluid. The engine has higher requirements for the oil's high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and cleaning properties. Although the transmission operates at relatively lower temperatures, its internal components still require lubrication. Transmission fluid helps extend the lifespan of gears and offers low-temperature resistance.
