cruise means cruise control. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the car. Once the car is set to cruise, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer. The computer continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the car's driving resistance, ensuring the car maintains the set speed without the need for throttle operation, reducing driver fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, thereby saving fuel. Additional information: All car cruise systems consist of two basic components: a positioning device with sensors to determine the car's current location, and a device for inputting the destination and displaying the best route to reach it, which is essentially a navigation device.

Is it dangerous to keep a fire extinguisher in the car during high summer temperatures?

Whether it is dangerous to keep a fire extinguisher in the car during high summer temperatures depends on local temperature conditions and maintenance. Generally, it will not explode. There are many types of fire extinguishers, and most vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers are dry powder extinguishers. Theoretically, dry powder extinguishers can be stored at temperatures between -20°C and 55°C, so they will not explode when kept in a car under normal conditions. Here are some items you should avoid leaving in the car during summer: Lighters: Small and easy to forget, yet highly dangerous. They contain liquid butane, and exposure to sunlight can increase internal pressure, leading to explosions. Bottled water: If left in a sun-exposed car for a certain period, it can release harmful substances. Continued consumption may not only fail to quench thirst but also affect health and cause discomfort. Glasses: Especially reading glasses, as their convex lenses can focus sunlight, potentially causing a fire. Perfume (in glass bottles): Perfume emits flammable gases when it evaporates. The critical packaging point is 49°C. Tests show that on a summer noon, without any shade, the car temperature can reach 65°C in just 15 minutes of sunlight exposure, which can easily trigger an explosion.

What Causes the Air Conditioner to Make Loud Noises When Turned On in a Car?

There are several reasons why the engine noise becomes louder when the car's air conditioner is turned on: Air conditioning pump noise: If there is an issue with either the electromagnetic clutch or the bearings inside the air conditioning pump, it can cause the pump to produce abnormal noises. Throttle valve clogging or sticking: If the throttle valve has carbon buildup or is sticking, it can lead to engine shaking and abnormal noises. Reasons for no air flow from the car's air conditioner: Blower fan malfunction: The car's blower fan is a crucial component for air flow from the air conditioner. If the air conditioning compressor fails during operation, the air conditioner will not produce air. Clogged air filter: The air filter is a significant and common reason for no air flow from the air conditioner. During operation, the car's air conditioner can accumulate many impurities from the air. Control system failure: This could be due to issues with the air vent, air conditioning computer, or control switch. Control system switches generally do not fail, and it is recommended that the owner visit a 4S shop for inspection to simplify the troubleshooting process.

Large, heavy, and medium-sized specialized operation vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with special devices or equipment, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc. Among the heavy and medium-duty cargo trucks permitted under a B2 license, there are no restrictions on tonnage or length, but they must be trucks with the cargo compartment and storage on the same chassis.

Is It a Big Problem for Tires to Run Over Curb Stones?

Tires running over curb stones is a significant issue. Even at slightly higher speeds, hitting a curb can cause damage to the tires, potentially leading to a blowout. Here are some precautions to take when driving over curb stones: 1. Drive slowly, as higher speeds increase the force between the tire and the curb, making it more likely to damage the tire. When driving straight onto a curb, avoid areas with damaged edges, as these spots can harm the tires. 2. If approaching the curb from the side, it's better to reverse onto it. This is because the front tires control the direction of the vehicle. Driving forward first can cause the inner side of the rear tires to rub against the curb, damaging the tire sidewalls.
