Rain guards can effectively prevent rainwater or strong wind from directly blowing into the car, improving ventilation efficiency; when driving in the rain, opening the window can also prevent the window from fogging up. It is necessary to install them in rainy areas. The following is a related introduction: 1. The function of rain guards: In any environmental condition, they can maintain the convection of fresh air, ensuring that the air inside the car is suitable for human needs; since they maintain the convection of fresh air, they will not cause glass fogging under any circumstances, which affects visibility and operation, thereby increasing driving safety; 2. The quality of rain guards: The quality of rain guards mainly depends on two aspects. One is the material of the rain guards, some are made of plastic, and some are made of synthetic resin. Resin has higher quality in terms of thickness and flexibility. The other is the adhesive of the rain guards. Some domestic adhesives may not stick firmly or tightly, and rainwater may flow down along the gap during heavy rain. As for the wind noise issue, there is actually little difference before and after installation.

How Often Should the Antifreeze in a Family Sedan Be Replaced?

Family sedans should have their antifreeze replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Antifreeze, fully known as antifreeze coolant, is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It contains: calcium chloride, methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerin. The method for replacing antifreeze is as follows: 1. Open the car's engine hood after the engine has cooled down; 2. Open the antifreeze reservoir cap; 3. Lift the vehicle and open the radiator drain plug, drain the old antifreeze, then reinstall the drain plug; 4. Lower the vehicle and pour new antifreeze into the antifreeze reservoir.

Two-step adjustment method: Adjust all valves on the engine in two steps. The four-cylinder engine arrangement sequence features four cylinders aligned in a straight line, which is one of the cylinder arrangement types for internal combustion engines, commonly used in four-cylinder engines with displacements below 2.0 liters. A four-cylinder engine, also known as a 4-cylinder engine, is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form. Its main components include the cylinder block, crankcase, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket, among others.

Does Having Extra Children in the Car Count as Overcrowding?

Having extra children in the car does count as overcrowding. Below is an introduction to the hazards of driving with an overloaded vehicle: 1. Damage to road infrastructure: Since overloaded vehicles far exceed the design load of roads and bridges, they cause pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shorten service life. 2. Increased danger: Overloaded vehicles have greater mass and inertia, leading to longer braking distances and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of control. 3. Traffic congestion: Overloaded vehicles cannot travel at normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods and directly affecting road traffic flow.
