It can damage your car's paint. If left untreated for a long time, it may corrode your car's sheet metal. It is recommended that you first clean the spilled fluid with a dry cloth, then go to the nearest 4S store or professional repair shop for treatment. As brake fluid is one of the important automotive oils, its characteristic is strong corrosiveness. The internationally recognized brake fluid standards are Dot3 or Dot4. It is important to note that brake fluid getting into your eyes is even worse. As mentioned earlier, it is highly corrosive. If you want to know how strong an oil that can even corrode paint is, you can imagine its strength. Therefore, if it splashes into your eyes, you should immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of running water. If you still feel eye pain or notice many bloodshot spots, you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

What Causes a Diesel Vehicle's Exhaust Pipe to Spray Engine Oil?

Diesel vehicle's exhaust pipe spraying engine oil can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Excessive clearance: Natural wear of the power unit leading to excessive clearance between the piston rings and cylinder liner. 2. Excessive pressure: Overfilling of engine oil causing excessive pressure in the engine compartment. 3. Fault issues: Problems with the piston pin and cylinder liner. 4. Poor sealing: Severe wear or poor sealing between the valve stem and valve guide. A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel fuel to obtain energy release. Its working process shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each working cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

Why does the car still roll backward when parked on a slope with the handbrake pulled?

It may be caused by a loose cable or issues with the rear wheel braking system, and it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake travel will increase. 2. Braking: After pulling the handbrake, it utilizes a hydraulic auxiliary cylinder to push the main hydraulic cylinder beneath the car, which drives the air valve (designed this way to avoid hearing air noises in the cabin). Once the air valve is activated, it brakes the drive shaft. The handbrake only brakes the drive shaft.

What is the difference between left turn and left turn waiting gestures?

The difference between left turn and left turn waiting gestures lies in the angle size. Here are the specific details: 1. Left turn: For the left turn traffic police gesture, the right arm is extended forward at a 90-degree angle to the body with the palm facing forward. The angle between the palm and the arm should not be less than 60 degrees, with fingers closed together. The face and gaze should simultaneously turn 45 degrees to the left. The right arm is extended forward at a 90-degree angle to the body, with the palm facing forward, and the angle between the palm and the arm should not be less than 60 degrees, with fingers closed together. The face and gaze should simultaneously turn 45 degrees to the left. The left arm and palm swing straight to the right front at a 45-degree angle to the body, with the palm facing right, the middle fingertip aligned to the center seam of the shirt, and the height up to the lowest button of the shirt. The left arm returns to a position not exceeding the trouser seam, with the face and gaze maintaining a 45-degree leftward view, completing one swing. The left arm and palm swing straight to the right front at a 45-degree angle to the body, with the palm facing right, the middle fingertip aligned to the center seam of the shirt, and the height up to the lowest button of the shirt (repeating action 2). The left arm returns to a position not exceeding the trouser seam, with the face and gaze maintaining a 45-degree leftward view, completing one swing (repeating action 3, completing the second swing). The right arm is withdrawn, the face and gaze return to the front, and the standing posture is restored. 2. Left turn waiting gesture: The left arm is extended to the left at a 45-degree angle to the body, with the palm facing downward and fingers closed together. The face and gaze simultaneously turn 45 degrees to the left. The left arm and palm swing straight downward at a 15-degree angle to the body, with the face and gaze maintaining a 45-degree forward view, completing the first swing. The left arm is extended to the left at a 45-degree angle to the body, with the palm facing downward and fingers closed together. The face and gaze simultaneously turn 45 degrees to the left (repeating action 1). The left arm and palm swing straight downward at a 15-degree angle to the body, with the face and gaze maintaining a 45-degree forward view, completing the first swing (repeating action 2, completing the second swing). The left arm is withdrawn, the face and gaze return to the front, and the standing posture is restored.

Can the Dash Cam Record When the Car is Parked?

Parking the dash cam can still shoot, and it will automatically shut down after recording for a period of time. Generally, the dash cam will not record when the car is not powered on. There is a dash cam with a built-in recording function, which can record even when the car is parked. Whether the dash cam works depends on which wire it is connected to. Some models come with a dash cam connected to a constant power supply, in which case it will not automatically shut down and can achieve 24-hour recording; if it is connected to ACC, it will automatically shut down, that is, when the engine is turned off and the power is cut off. The dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during the driving of the vehicle. After installing the dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence for traffic accidents. The video data recorded by the dash cam cannot be edited. If edited, it will not be able to provide assistance in the event of a liability accident. Components of the dash cam: Host: including microprocessor, data memory, real-time clock, display, lens module, operation keys, printer, data communication interface, etc.; speed sensor; data analysis software; infrared camera.
