The car button in a vehicle is designed for quickly accessing the car system settings interface. Pressing this button allows the multimedia central control screen to directly switch to the car system interface, where various settings can be adjusted, such as driving mode selection, seat and air conditioning adjustments, parking assistance systems, settings, and services. The functions of various buttons in the car are as follows: 1. The sel key is a menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. The ok key has the same function as the sel key, with some vehicles using sel and others using ok; 3. The ac button is the compressor switch, standing for aircondition, which is the air conditioning cooling switch.

I've used this button in my car, which usually refers to the 'Auto' button. After pressing it, the air conditioning automatically adjusts the temperature for you. For example, once you set your desired temperature, the system will automatically regulate the fan speed and air vents based on the interior temperature, eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments. Sometimes it's quite intelligent—it blows stronger when it's hot in summer and gentler when it's cold in winter. I found this feature quite hassle-free when I first bought the car. Just turn it on during daily commutes, and you don’t have to worry about the details. However, don’t forget to check the recirculation mode to keep the air fresh, which is good for health. After driving for a long time, I really value these convenient designs. I recommend new car owners explore these small features—they can enhance the overall driving experience and reduce the risk of distracted operations.

I've read many car introductions, and this AUTO button mainly functions in the air conditioning system, meaning automatic mode. With a single press, it lets the system take over all adjustment tasks. It detects temperature changes through in-car sensors and adjusts fan speed, hot/cold air ratio, etc., in real-time, which is much more efficient than manual operation. What I like about it is that once the ideal temperature is set, I don't have to worry about it anymore—it's especially useful on long trips, eliminating the need to fumble with buttons while driving. Occasionally, there might be minor issues, like sensor misjudgment due to dirt, but simply cleaning the vents usually solves the problem. Overall, this design reflects the intelligence of modern cars, and I often recommend friends to make good use of this mode—it's both safe and energy-efficient.

For busy working professionals like me, the auto button in the car is a lifesaver. Pressing it automatically adjusts the AC, setting it to around 20 degrees, allowing me to focus solely on the road while driving without distractions. It saves me a lot of time, especially during traffic jams when I don't need to frequently adjust the fan. Having driven for seven or eight years, I find this feature very friendly for daily commutes and it also helps avoid excessive power consumption. Newcomers might need some time to get used to the setup, like changing the set temperature by turning the knob, but it's quite simple. Don't worry about complexity; you'll get the hang of it after using it a few times.

What Causes the Gurgling Water Sound When the Car Stops?

The gurgling water sound when the car stops is caused by gas in the cold exhaust pipe waiting to be re-burned. Possible reasons for sounds when the car stops include: 1. Cooling sound of the three-way catalytic converter: The normal operating temperature of the three-way catalytic converter is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius. After turning off the engine, it gradually stops working, the temperature drops, and internal metal components expand and contract due to heat, producing abnormal noises; 2. Cooling sound of the exhaust pipe: The temperature of the exhaust pipe during cold idle is around 200 degrees Celsius, and the thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust pipe cause abnormal noises; 3. Turbo cooling sound: The rapid rotation and friction of the turbocharger generate high temperatures. After turning off the engine, the thermal expansion and contraction become very noticeable, producing abnormal noises; 4. Abnormal noises caused by uneven cooling of the engine: The engine temperature is very high, and after turning off the engine, the temperature of various components drops at different rates, leading to gaps between internal metal parts cooling and contracting, resulting in friction and abnormal noises.

Should You Inspect the Car or Pay First When Taking Delivery?

Generally, the car delivery process involves inspecting the vehicle first. Do not rush to make the payment before thoroughly checking the new car, as once the payment is made, it essentially means all procedures are completed, handing over the initiative to the dealer. If any issues are found during the inspection afterward, it may become inconvenient to request a refund or exchange. Key considerations when taking delivery of a new car are as follows: 1. Taxation: Taxation is an essential step in the car purchase process. Most tax payment windows for vehicles do not accept cash, so it is advisable to prepare a bank card in advance. Typically, the vehicle management office also has dedicated tax payment windows where you can complete this process. 2. Selecting the Model and Configuration: The first step in buying a car is to choose the model and the desired configuration. When selecting a model, it is crucial to consider your budget. The principle of car selection is to first determine the type of vehicle you want—such as a sedan or SUV—and then prioritize the parameters that matter most to you, such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, space, noise levels, and cargo capacity.

What kind of memory card is used for dash cams?

Currently, the vast majority of dash cams use Micro-SD cards, originally named Trans-flash-Card (TF card), which is a member of the SD-Card Association. Due to their small size, fast transfer speed, and support for hot-swapping, they are widely used in mobile phones, navigation devices, and some automotive electronic products. The dimensions are only 15x11x1mm. Additional information is as follows: 1. How loop recording works: The video footage from dash cams is stored on removable memory cards. Videos are typically segmented into 1, 3, or 5-minute clips based on user settings. When the memory card is nearly full, the dash cam automatically deletes the oldest clip to store newly recorded videos, preventing storage shortages. 2. TF card: The memory card used in dash cams is also called a TF card, short for Trans-flash-Card. It supports hot-swapping, can be rewritten repeatedly, offers fast storage speeds, and is compact in size. These advantages make it widely used in various electronic devices for data storage. It is particularly suitable for the frequent read-write operations of dash cams, enabling the loop recording function. Depending on the size of the memory card, it can continuously loop and store recorded video footage.
