There is no impact, as the function of waxing itself includes waterproofing and protection against acid rain. The specific details are as follows: 1. The role of car wax: Car wax can reduce the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body, approximately by 50%-90%, so rain after waxing can actually provide anti-corrosion effects. 2. Additional information: Besides the aforementioned waterproofing and anti-corrosion effects, it also has anti-aging effects, gloss enhancement, and anti-static effects. The anti-aging effect mainly reduces the damage of ultraviolet rays to the paint surface, while the gloss enhancement effect improves the smoothness of the car paint to varying degrees, making the car color more vibrant. The anti-static effect reduces damage to the car paint caused by friction with dust, wool fabrics, synthetic fibers, etc., in the air. However, it should be noted that waxing itself can damage the car paint, so it should be done in moderation.

Where can I get a remote key duplicated?

Remote keys can be duplicated at 4S dealerships or at specialized key duplication shops. When duplicating a remote key, the focus is on replicating the chip inside the key, as this chip is essential for remotely locking or unlocking the car. The chip in the remote key also controls the engine start function. Even for vehicles without push-button start (those requiring key turning to start), the chip in the remote key is still necessary. Without this chip, the engine won't start even if the mechanical key is present. The outer casing of the remote key is not waterproof, so it's advisable to avoid exposing the remote key to water during daily use, as this could damage the chip.

What does 'trip' on the car dashboard mean?

The 'trip' on the car dashboard refers to the short-distance mileage, also known as the partial mileage, which allows users to calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip. It can be reset to zero by long-pressing the clear button. In contrast, 'odo' stands for the total mileage, with its full forms being 'odograph' or 'odometer'. The total mileage cannot be reset. The smallest unit for the trip mileage is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is also the parameter provided by the manufacturer. This is calculated by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual distance traveled, i.e., fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals fuel consumption (liters) divided by distance traveled (kilometers) multiplied by 100.

What does the front tire specification 205/55R16 mean?

The front tire specification 205/55R16 represents the following: the tire parameter 205 refers to the tire's section width of 205 millimeters; 55 represents the tire's aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the tire's section height divided by its width; R stands for radial tire; and 16 indicates the rim diameter of 16 inches. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, as they directly contact the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, while bearing the weight of the vehicle.

What does EV mean for sedans?

EV in sedans refers to the pure electric driving mode on hybrid vehicles, a mode driven by electric motors, which is not available in conventional power vehicles (conventional power refers to gasoline or diesel vehicles). The EV mode is typically equipped in pure electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles, and it also represents electric vehicles. When using hybrid models, the EV button can serve as an auxiliary mode rather than the primary driving mode. For short-distance commuting (within 20 kilometers), using the EV mode is not a problem. When the EV mode is engaged, the fuel engine in hybrid vehicles does not start, thus unable to charge the battery, resulting in lower range under the EV mode.
