How to Use Car Air Conditioning Properly?

When using the car air conditioning, it's better to open the windows to expel the air before turning on the AC. Here is an introduction to car air conditioning knowledge: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning system, referred to as car AC, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car compartment to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue. 2. Turn off AC in advance: When the A/C button is turned on, the car's cooling equipment starts operating, and the moisture generated during the operation of these devices, combined with the hot and stuffy environment of the engine compartment, creates an ideal condition for mold and bacteria to grow. Over time, the air conditioning can produce odors, such as sour smells. Therefore, it's advisable to turn off the A/C a little before reaching the destination and then increase the fan speed slightly to allow the air to dry out the ducts, making it harder for mold to grow.

How to Adjust Scattered Headlight Beams to Focus?

To adjust scattered headlight beams, use a screwdriver to turn the screw rod behind the lamp bracket to adjust the beam until it reaches the focused position. Below are the specific reasons why car headlights scatter and fail to focus: Improper Bulb Position: Scattered headlight beams indicate that the bulb is not in the center of the lamp cover, requiring readjustment of the headlight height. First, check if the headlight base is loose. Inconsistent LED Light Emission Points: If the LED light emission point does not match the original car's emission point, it can cause the light to scatter. Adjust the bulb to align the emission point with the reflection direction of the original car's reflector to achieve a focused beam.

Is the Clearance Date at 0:00 or 24:00?

The clearance date for a driver's license is at 0:00 on the expiration day. For example, if the initial issuance date is August 1, 2018, the point clearance date will be at 0:00 on August 1, 2019. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the demerit point cycle for a driver's license is 12 months. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates fewer than 12 demerit points within a cycle, has paid all fines, and resolved all violations, the points will be cleared, and the next cycle will start with 12 points again. Otherwise, the points will carry over to the next cycle. For instance, if 6 points were deducted in the previous cycle and the violations and fines were not resolved by the deadline, the driver will only have 6 points available for deduction in the next cycle. If a driver accumulates 12 or more demerit points within one cycle, a Class C license will be temporarily suspended by the traffic management authorities. The driver must attend traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge training and pass an exam within 15 days. Successfully passing the exam will clear the points and return the license; otherwise, the driver must continue training and retake the exam. For Class A and B licenses, the driver will face a downgrade penalty. The vehicle management office will revoke the highest permitted vehicle class, and the driver must complete the downgrade and license renewal process within 30 days.

Can I use my own photo for the driver's license?

You can use your own photo for the driver's license, but you need to ensure that the photo passes the inspection by the relevant authorities. The driver's license photo can only be changed when applying for or replacing the license. If you think the photo on your driver's license is unflattering, you can apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office (even if the license is not lost). At that time, you can carefully select a good photo and complete the procedure at the vehicle management office by paying the processing fee. Requirements for driver's license photos: Within the first 6 months of applying for a motor vehicle driver's license, a straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, single-person, half-length ID photo of yourself is required. The image should be clear, with rich layers, natural expression, and no obvious distortion. The background color should be white, and you should wear dark-colored clothing. The photo size should be 32mm x 22mm, with a head width of 14mm to 16mm and a head length of 19mm to 22mm. Girls should not have their hair loose, and boys' hair should not be too long. The expression should be natural. People with long hair should expose both ears, and the head and face should not be tilted, sideways, overly made-up, or have accessories that affect facial recognition. Location and precautions for taking driver's license photos: Vehicle management offices or outside photo studios with legitimate business licenses. If taking photos at an outside studio, simply inform the studio that you need "photos for a driver's license," and the studio will follow the specifications accordingly. Just follow the studio's instructions to complete the photo session.

What does a triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicate as a fault?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Apart from the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

How to Clean Stains That Can't Be Washed Off a Car?

Methods for dealing with stains on car paint are as follows: 1. Cleaning bird droppings: To protect the vehicle from sun exposure, it is often parked under the shade of trees, but this can't prevent bird droppings. The corrosiveness of bird droppings is not very strong, so cleaning them is relatively easy. Use some clean water with a soft cloth or tissue to wipe them off. For careless owners who discover bird droppings after a long time, it's best to use crystal wax or beauty wax for waxing treatment. 2. Cleaning asphalt: Many roads are made of asphalt, and in hot summers, melted asphalt can easily splash onto the vehicle. If the contamination is not severe, use a tar remover to dissolve the dried asphalt and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. If not treated promptly, asphalt can penetrate the paint surface and cause corrosion. In such cases, it's best to seek professional help. Typically, they will first try using polishing wax, and if that doesn't work, they may use professional automotive sandpaper for cleaning.
