Normal production date for new cars: Joint-venture and domestic cars should not exceed 6 months, imported cars should not exceed 12 months. Methods to check a new car's production date: 1. Check the VIN: Each vehicle has a unique VIN, from which you can determine the production date. The 10th character of the VIN indicates the production year. 2. Check component production dates: Components like window glass and seat belts have their own production dates marked on them. 3. Check the manufacturer's plate: Most vehicles have an information plate in the engine compartment showing model number, engine type, displacement, and production date. 4. Consult the manual: The car's production date is also listed in the owner's manual.

Why is there water dripping from the car chassis in summer?

It is the condensate water from the air conditioning system, which is a normal phenomenon. 1. Identification method: The reason for air conditioning water is that the temperature of the evaporator box in the air conditioning system is low, causing the hot air inside the car to condense into water droplets, which then flow out through the drain pipe. In case of a radiator leak, water is usually found under the radiator, i.e., between the front bumper and the engine of the car, and the car's dashboard will generally issue a warning. 2. Chassis: Usually refers to the car chassis, which is the main frame of the car's underbody. All the power components of the vehicle, including the engine, transmission, differential, and suspension system, are installed on the chassis. The chassis is composed of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal driving.

Where Does Water Enter a Car From?

Engine water ingress typically occurs through the exhaust valve, while intake valve water ingress happens during driving. Here are the relevant details: 1. Connecting rod issues: Water ingress can cause problems with the engine's connecting rod, leading to engine failure. If water enters the engine, stop driving immediately and seek professional inspection and repair. 2. Air intake: The actual point where water can enter the engine is the air intake, specifically at the air filter's intake location. All plastic pipes from the air intake to the throttle must be properly sealed to prevent water from entering the engine. 3. Precautions: If the engine stalls due to water ingress, do not attempt to restart it immediately. In such cases, the exact cause of the stall cannot be determined right away, and rash actions may cause unpredictable further damage to the vehicle.

Is Broken Glass Harmful to Car Tires?

Generally, broken glass has little impact on tires because the tread structure of car tires is very sturdy, containing steel wires that make them resistant to damage from ordinary glass fragments. However, if the car is traveling at high speed, sharp objects like glass shards may puncture the tires. Basic structure of car tires: 1. Tire tread: The part of the tire that contacts the ground, featuring excellent wear resistance, puncture resistance, impact resistance, drainage, and heat dissipation properties. 2. Crown belt layer (double or triple reinforced belt layer): Offers high flexibility in the vertical direction while maintaining strong lateral rigidity to prevent belt separation during high-speed driving, ensuring stability. 3. Sidewall: The most vulnerable part of the tire's exterior; once damaged, it directly leads to tire failure. It provides support and shock absorption. 4. Bead: Made of steel wire rings wound in a specific shape to firmly secure the tire to the rim. 5. Inner liner: Functions to retain air. Since car tires are tubeless, the inner liner must have excellent sealing properties to ensure proper tire operation.

What does 'mlrror' mean in a car and how to use it?

mirror refers to the rearview mirror, so it is the rearview mirror adjustment switch used to adjust the mirrors. Nowadays, standard cars are equipped with three rearview mirrors: left, right, and the interior cabin mirror. With these three mirrors, the driver's field of vision is expanded by approximately 60 degrees. Since the human eye has a 200-degree field of view, the driver's total visible range inside the car is about 260 degrees. Below is additional information: Driver's perspective: The right-side area is crucial for the driver's field of vision, so extra attention is needed. Unlike the left mirror, the right rearview mirror should minimize the sky's visible space. Generally, the horizon serves as the baseline, with the sky occupying 1/4 of the space and the ground occupying 3/4. For the interior rearview mirror, the key principle is to ensure a clear and complete view of the rear through the back window.

Does the rear of the car exceeding the line result in points deduction during parallel parking?

In Subject 2 (Parking Test), if the vehicle body exceeds the line after stopping during parallel parking, 100 points will be deducted. 1. Points Deduction Explanation: For the parallel parking test in Subject 2, if the vehicle body exceeds the line after stopping, this mainly refers to two types of errors: the right side of the vehicle body running over the line or the rear of the car exceeding the parking space. 2. Operation Requirements: The operation requirement for parallel parking is to stop the car in front of the parking space, then reverse into the space in one go without stopping midway. The wheels should not run over or touch the lane boundary lines or the parking space boundary lines. 3. Notes: In Subject 2, neither too fast nor too slow speeds are recommended. Too slow may cause the car to stop midway, while too fast may make it difficult to accurately judge the timing, affecting your ability to steer promptly. Additionally, when turning the steering wheel to the full lock position, pay attention to keeping the left foot steady on the clutch to prevent sudden changes in speed. Therefore, maintaining steady clutch control and managing the speed properly are essential for accurate reference point judgment.
