You can sprinkle a little flour to absorb the oil before wiping. Squeeze toothpaste onto a toothbrush and brush it along the windshield. Cover the windshield with toilet paper or tissue, spray Liby dishwashing liquid water, then wipe with a clean cloth dipped in water once or twice.

Last time I noticed an oily film on the windshield, I directly used diluted kitchen detergent to wipe it, and the effect was quite noticeable. Simply put, the oily film is sticky substances like diesel exhaust dripping from trucks on the road or tree sap. First, use a sponge soaked in detergent water to coat the entire glass, wait two minutes for the detergent to break down the grease, then rinse it off with water. If there are still streaky water marks, it means the oily film isn't completely removed. You can use a specialized automotive oil film remover or those volcanic clay cleaning products available online, scrubbing while rinsing with a spray bottle, and make sure to rinse off all residues in the end.

Where is the car air conditioning evaporator located?

The car air conditioning evaporator is installed inside the evaporator box, which is located behind the dashboard on the passenger side, usually behind the cabin air filter. The car air conditioning refrigeration system consists of components such as the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. Below is relevant information: 1. The function of the evaporator is to serve as the place where the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas (i.e., evaporation) to absorb heat. The car air conditioning refrigeration system includes components like the compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. The evaporator is a device that achieves heat exchange between the outside air and the substance inside the pipes by covering a row of coiled pipes with thin metal sheets for heat dissipation. 2. The evaporator is the heat exchange container of the car air conditioning system. The source evaporator is hidden inside the evaporator box and is generally not easily visible. Under normal circumstances, the surface temperature of the evaporator is very low, but it only forms a lot of condensation without frosting or freezing. Its principle is similar to that of the engine's radiator (the only difference is that the water in the radiator remains in liquid form), so it is often installed at the front of the car, together with the radiator, to enjoy the cool breeze from the front.

Does Airbag Deployment Count as a Major Accident?

Airbag deployment does not necessarily count as a major accident, as sometimes airbags can deploy even in minor collisions. Therefore, using airbag deployment as a criterion for determining the severity of an accident is not accurate. Factors Triggering Airbag Deployment: Whether an airbag deploys depends on the direction of the collision and the magnitude of the vehicle's acceleration caused by the impact, not the extent of vehicle damage. Thus, rear-end collisions, rollovers, or severe damage may not necessarily trigger airbag deployment. Different manufacturers set varying conditions for airbag deployment. Typically, frontal airbags deploy when the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h and a severe impact occurs within a ±30-degree angle range. Side airbags deploy when a severe impact occurs within a ±60-degree angle range on the side of the vehicle. Precautions for Airbag Use: If a car is equipped with dual front airbags, children should not sit in the front seat or have child seats installed there. Normally, when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position, the system performs a self-check on the airbags. If the airbag warning light on the dashboard remains lit, it indicates a fault in the airbag system, which should be repaired. Avoid hanging decorations on the front windshield or rearview mirror, as they may be propelled toward occupants during airbag deployment, causing unnecessary injuries.

What to Do When the Jetta Speed Sensor Malfunctions?

When the Jetta engine speed sensor malfunctions, it is necessary to carefully check the sensor's wiring and whether the engine control unit (ECU) has failed. A damaged engine speed sensor (crankshaft position sensor) can result in the vehicle having no high-voltage spark, making it impossible to start the car normally, and thus requires replacement. Below is an introduction to the engine speed sensor: 1. The engine speed sensor is an inductive sensor that captures the engine speed and the precise angular position of the crankshaft (input system). 2. A separate signal wheel for the engine speed sensor is installed on the flywheel. The signal wheel is designed as a toothed wheel divided into 60 segments. Each time the signal wheel passes the sensor, it generates an alternating voltage whose frequency varies with the speed, and this frequency corresponds to the engine speed.

How to Use Cruise Control?

To use the car's cruise control: 1. Press the power button to activate the system, and the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; 2. Accelerate to the desired speed, then press the SET button to lock the speed at the current rate; 3. Press the RES (+) button to increase speed from the current setting, or the SET (-) button to decrease speed. Cruise control is a system that allows the driver to maintain a constant preset speed without operating the accelerator pedal. Conditions for using the car's cruise control system include: 1. It is prohibited in rainy or snowy/icy weather; 2. It should not be used when there is heavy traffic; 3. It can be used on highways or fully enclosed roads.

Can Car Automatic Headlights Be Left On All the Time?

Car automatic headlights can be left on continuously. The method to activate automatic headlights is: adjust the combination light switch to the AUTO position. The function of automatic headlights is: when the ambient light dims during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. The working principle of automatic headlights is: through photosensitive sensors detecting voltage signals formed by changes in external light, which are then fed back to the automatic headlight control module. After data analysis, the system determines whether to activate the lights. Maintenance methods for automatic headlights include: 1. Regularly inspect the headlight covers to avoid moisture accumulation; 2. Prevent impacts from foreign objects.
