The term 'Wagon' in 'Wagon cars' originates from the English word 'Wagon', which is phonetically translated into Chinese as 'Waguan'. Introduction to Station Wagons: The English name for station wagons is 'wagon', phonetically translated as 'Waguan', hence station wagons are commonly referred to as 'Waguan cars' in Chinese. Station wagons are generally built on the basis of sedans, but to increase luggage space, the trunk of the sedan is raised to be level with the roofline. Therefore, station wagons combine the comfort of sedans with considerable luggage space. Uses of Station Wagons: Station wagons are not only capable of long-distance travel but also offer ample space to carry sufficient travel gear. Additionally, they are well-suited for business purposes in daily urban life.

How long is the validity period of a driver's license exam?

The driver's license exam is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance, meaning it expires within three years from passing the first subject test. The relevant regulations and methods to check the validity period are as follows: Article 38 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': Applicants learning to drive on training grounds and roads must obtain a learning driving certificate as required. The learning driving certificate is valid for three years, and applicants must complete the second and third subject tests within this validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject results will be invalidated. Methods to check the validity period: Some people, due to work or other reasons, may not have time to proceed with further training after passing the first subject test. When they resume learning to drive, they may not remember how much time is left in the validity period. In such cases, they can visit the vehicle management office to print the learning driving certificate. The certificate will indicate the permitted vehicle type, as well as the start and end dates of the validity period. As long as the exams are passed before this end date, it is acceptable.

What is the reason for the open circuit of coolant pump 2?

The open circuit of coolant pump 2 means that there is a fault with a coolant pump, which needs to be checked or replaced. Coolant pump 2 is an auxiliary water pump located not far from the main water pump, used for continuous heat dissipation after the car is turned off. Check the wiring harness and the small water pump. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Extended information: Wiring harness: The wiring harness is directly connected to the engine computer through a plug without a fuse. The water pump of this car is installed under the intake pipe. It is located at the interface between the engine and the transmission, below the intake pipe. Replacing the water pump requires removing the intake pipe. Coolant: Coolant is an indispensable part of a car engine. It circulates in the engine cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation, allowing the engine to operate at normal working temperature. When the coolant is insufficient, it will cause the engine water temperature to be too high, leading to damage to engine components. Therefore, once the owner finds that the coolant is insufficient, it should be added in time.

What does AGM on a battery mean?

Automotive AGM battery is a valve-regulated sealed battery that uses glass fiber separators. Automotive battery, also known as storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The application models of AGM batteries and maintenance methods for automotive batteries are as follows: Application models of AGM batteries: Most AGM batteries are used in cars with automatic start-stop systems. AGM batteries have superior cycle performance and charging acceptance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. They perform better than lead-acid batteries in low-charge states and have a longer service life than most lead-acid batteries. Most AGM batteries can last 7 to 8 years without any problems. These batteries are suitable for cars equipped with engine start-stop technology and also meet the requirements for cars with more electronic systems. Automotive battery maintenance methods: Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods to prevent the battery from freezing and getting damaged; car engines are harder to start in winter, and each start attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with an interval of at least 15 seconds between attempts.

How Long Can You Sleep in a Car Before Suffocating?

If the air circulation is good and the temperature is low, an adult can stay in the car for 2 hours without any adverse reactions. However, in a high-temperature environment during summer, a car at 35 degrees Celsius can reach 50 degrees Celsius inside within 30 minutes. Combined with the confined space, this can lead to fatal consequences within an hour. Precautions for sleeping in a car are as follows: Ventilation: When sleeping in a car, always leave a gap to allow air circulation. Do not close the doors and windows completely to avoid oxygen deprivation and suffocation. At the same time, the gap should not be too large to prevent attracting the attention of criminals and potential theft. Use of Air Conditioning: When sleeping in a car, it is best to turn off the compressor and switch the air conditioning to external circulation mode to allow natural airflow into the car. Avoid turning on the compressor and using internal circulation mode to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Parking Location: Choose an open area to park when resting in a car. Avoid parking in underground garages or other confined spaces to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide.

What does the 'front' button in a car mean in Chinese?

In car air conditioning systems, 'front' refers to zoned temperature control, while the word 'front' itself means 'forward' or 'ahead'. Combined, it can be understood as adjusting the temperature in the front cabin area. The 'front' button in cars is used to control the windshield defroster. Many vehicle models now omit the lettering on this button and replace it with an icon instead. Below are the usage methods and scenarios for the FRONT function: FRONT Usage Method: When condensation or water droplets appear on the front windshield, you can press the FRONT button to activate the front windshield defogging function. The air conditioning will automatically adjust to the front defogging vents with high airflow, quickly clearing the condensation from the windshield. FRONT Button Usage Scenarios: The FRONT button's front windshield defogging function is only suitable for interior fogging, which commonly occurs during rainy days or winter. If the fogging is on the exterior of the windshield, do not press the FRONT button as it may worsen the condensation. Instead, turn on the wipers and lower/raise the windows to accelerate air circulation.
