MIST refers to the front wiper switch, which means a single wipe. Here is an introduction to the related content: 1. Manual activation: Indicates manual activation. Push the entire wiper lever upward once toward the front of the car, and the wiper will wipe once. 2. Varies by model: Depending on the vehicle model, the markings on the wiper stalk may differ slightly. For example, "HIGH" might also be labeled as "HI," "MIST" might be labeled as "1x," or completely replaced with icons. Below is extended information about the INT function: 1. Abbreviation: It stands for "interim," meaning intermittent. 2. Intermittent operation: On the wiper, it means intermittent operation, wiping every few seconds. The interval can be adjusted. The white blocks decrease in size from top to bottom. Below INT, there is an arrow. Rotate the dotted circle of INT, and the arrow points to the white block. From top to bottom, the interval time increases.

Driving for over a decade, foggy days are the most annoying! That white misty condensation on the windshield is especially dangerous. When I encounter this situation, I immediately turn on the AC and blast cold air directly at the glass—it clears up instantly. Warm air works too, but the effect is slower. Leaving a small gap in the window to allow air circulation can also prevent fogging. Here’s another handy trick: mix dish soap with water and wipe the inside of the glass—it can keep fog at bay for several days. If the rearview mirror gets foggy too, turn on the electric heating function, and it’ll clear up quickly. On rainy days, remember to apply anti-fog spray in advance—safety is more important than anything. Don’t wipe the glass with a cloth while driving; those two seconds of distraction could lead to an accident.

Last time I was driving in heavy rain, the windshield suddenly fogged up, leaving me with a white blur and unable to see anything. I was so scared that I immediately turned on the hazard lights and pulled over. Using the wipers was completely useless because the fog was forming on the inside. Later, an experienced driver taught me to press the defogging button and turn the airflow to maximum, directing the vents at the glass—the fog disappeared in two minutes. This kind of mist is most likely to appear on highly humid days and becomes more noticeable when there are more people in the car. Now, I apply some waterproof glue on the door frame seals to improve the tightness, which helps prevent fog from creeping in. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just replace the glass with an anti-fog film for a permanent solution.

New drivers, don't be scared by the mist—you've actually learned this in physics class. When the temperature difference between inside and outside the car exceeds 5 degrees, condensation forms on the windows. In summer, turning on the AC during rain, and in winter, using the heater can balance the temperature difference. Remember to activate the external circulation to bring in dry air—it's much quieter than opening the windows. If the rear window defroster is broken, get it fixed immediately; a small cost ensures greater safety. When the fog is thickest, slow down to below 30 km/h. I keep a mini defogger plugged into the cigarette lighter—it's more reliable than wiping the glass in emergencies.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the tachometer mean?

The yellow exclamation mark on the tachometer is the tire pressure monitoring fault light, indicating that the tire pressure of one or more tires is insufficient. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on while driving, remain calm, do not panic, immediately reduce your speed, avoid sharp steering and sudden braking, and check the tires immediately. If you have a portable inflator or tire pressure gauge, you can pull over to the side of the road to measure and inflate each tire; if not, drive slowly to the nearest auto repair shop for servicing.

Why does the subject 4 reservation on Traffic Management 12123 show subject 3?

It shows subject 3 because subject 3 is generally divided into the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized common sense test. In fact, subject 4 is the safe and civilized common sense test of subject 3. The following is an introduction to subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3, including the road driving skills test and the safe and civilized driving common sense test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation of the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving common sense test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's test. The content of the road driving skills test varies for different types of driving licenses. 2. Test content: The road driving skills test of subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking on the side, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school areas, passing bus stops, meeting cars, overtaking, turning around, and driving at night. The safe and civilized driving common sense test generally includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods in case of tire blowouts and other emergencies, and knowledge of handling after traffic accidents.

What is the best solution for rear wheel lock-up?

The best solution for rear wheel lock-up: Pour 100-degree boiling water onto the brake pads, then repeatedly move forward and backward about three times. Rear wheel lock-up mostly occurs after heavy rain or car washing, mainly caused by the expansion of water entering the rear wheel brake drum. When the rear wheels lock up, park the car on level ground, avoiding slopes if possible. After turning off the engine, shift into first gear to prevent the car from moving, and do not engage the handbrake when parking. This prevents the friction pads from contacting the brake drum during parking, thereby avoiding adhesion between the friction pads and the brake drum that causes lock-up.

What are the symptoms of a bad car water pump?

When a car's water pump fails, the symptoms include: unstable engine idle, coolant leakage, and increased engine operation noise. During regular vehicle use, it's important to change the coolant periodically. Prolonged use of old coolant can damage the water pump. For household vehicles, the coolant should be replaced every two years. When coolant is low, never use tap water as a substitute. Tap water contains minerals that can form scale when heated, potentially clogging the engine's water passages. Car engines widely use centrifugal water pumps, whose basic structure consists of the pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, pump shaft and bearings or integrated shaft bearings, pump impeller, and water seal assembly. These components are essential parts of the automobile.

What is a Radial Tire?

Radial tires are a type of internal tire structure that differs significantly from bias-ply tires in terms of construction. Based on the materials used, radial tires can be categorized into three types: all-steel radial tires, semi-steel radial tires, and all-fiber radial tires. All-steel radial tires use steel cords for both the carcass and the belt layers and are typically used for heavy-duty and construction machinery vehicles. Semi-steel radial tires use rayon or other fibers for the carcass and steel cords for the belt layers; this type of radial tire is commonly used in passenger cars or light trucks. All-fiber radial tires use rayon or other fiber cords for both the carcass and belt layers, with the belt layer cords requiring low-elongation fibers. These radial tires are generally used in low-speed passenger cars or tractors. Radial tires offer advantages such as excellent wear and puncture resistance, superior cushioning performance, lower operating temperatures, better stability and safety, longer mileage, and higher economic efficiency.

What is the fuel consumption difference between 1.5t and 2.0t engines?

A typical 2.0t engine consumes about 2 to 3 liters more fuel per 100 kilometers compared to a 1.5t engine. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the corresponding fuel consumption. Fuel-saving tips: Ensure correct tire pressure: Pressure should not be too high or too low, as both conditions will increase fuel consumption. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid affecting driving fuel economy. Consider changing tire size: Wider tires increase resistance. Unless special traction requirements exist, overly wide tires will only increase fuel consumption. Maintain the car body: Dents on the body will increase aerodynamic resistance during driving. Similarly, decorations on the body will only add resistance. Master driving techniques: When starting the vehicle, choose a lower gear, accelerate smoothly and gradually. Learn to listen to the engine sound and shift gears from low to high as the car reaches certain speeds. During driving, use direct gear at medium speed to save fuel. The economical speed for most cars is between 65-90km/h. Driving at this speed range is the most fuel-efficient.
