The exhaust pipe serves several functions: 1. It discharges the exhaust gases generated by the engine, reducing pressure. This is a crucial factor in ensuring the continuous operation of a vehicle. 2. It reduces noise. The entire exhaust system includes two muffler systems: the first is the exhaust manifold where gases exit the engine, and the second is the main muffler located at the tail end of the exhaust pipe. These two stages of muffling effectively reduce the noise of exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. 3. It filters exhaust gases to minimize pollution. A catalytic converter is installed in the middle section of the exhaust pipe. The materials inside it chemically react with harmful substances in the exhaust, thereby reducing air pollution caused by emissions. 4. It enhances the vehicle's aesthetic appeal, making it more visually pleasing.

What are the mirrors on both sides of a car called?

The mirrors on both sides of a car are called rearview mirrors. The vehicle has three rearview mirrors in total: left, center, and right. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car. Below is additional information: 1. Rearview mirrors can be divided into two types: exterior adjustment and interior adjustment. 2. Exterior adjustment: This method involves manually adjusting the position of the mirror frame or mirror surface while the car is parked to achieve the desired viewing angle. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to complete conveniently in one go. The driver needs to reach out of the window to adjust the mirrors while seated, which is very inconvenient during driving or in rainy conditions. Generally, large vehicles, trucks, and low-end buses use exterior adjustment to reduce costs. 3. Interior adjustment: This method provides drivers with a more convenient way to adjust the rearview mirrors while driving, allowing for better observation of the rear view. Most mid-range and high-end cars use interior adjustment. This method is further divided into manual adjustment (using wire cable transmission or a handle) and electric adjustment.

What are the reasons for a car's windshield wiper not spraying water?

The reasons for a windshield wiper not spraying water are as follows: 1. The wiper spray motor is faulty. 2. The water reservoir is empty. 3. There is an issue with the wiring. 4. The nozzle is clogged. 5. The tubing is blocked. Additional information: I. Introduction to windshield wipers: The technical name for a wiper is "Windshield-Wiper," which refers to the blade structure installed in front of the windshield. It consists of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs visibility. II. Precautions for using windshield wipers: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on a sunny day, always spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping. 2. If there are other stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, they should be cleaned manually. These substances can easily damage the wiper blade, leading to ineffective cleaning. 3. During winter use, first remove ice chips from the windshield surface with an ice scraper to avoid putting extra strain on the wiper.

Is it a problem if the oil dipstick is not tight?

The oil dipstick itself is not a problem. More information about the oil dipstick is as follows: 1. Overview: In automobiles, the oil dipstick is a commonly used measuring tool to check the quantity of lubricating oil in the oil reservoir. Since the insertion hole of the dipstick has a curved path, the dipstick must be able to deform when inserted and rebound when pulled out. 2. Purpose: The engine lubrication system generally includes the lubricating oil storage system, the lubricating oil distribution system, and the lubricating oil indication system. According to the "Airworthiness Standards for Transport Category Airplanes," the oil quantity indicator must have a dipstick or equivalent device to indicate the oil quantity in each lubricating oil tank. The dipstick is a simple-structured liquid level gauge that directly displays the height of the lubricating oil in the oil tank. The function of the oil dipstick is not only to check the level of engine lubricating oil. Experienced drivers or mechanics can detect many engine operating conditions by inspecting the oil dipstick, thereby maintaining the engine, promptly identifying the causes of faults or accidents, preventing further deterioration of issues, and making quick responses to obtain accurate judgments, providing reliable evidence. It can be said that the proper use of the oil dipstick plays a crucial role in extending the engine's service life.

What are the differences between the Lavida Hatchback and Lavida?

The Lavida Hatchback was derived in 2013 from the second-generation Lavida sedan by converting it into a hatchback. Apart from differences in exterior design and body structure, the interior, chassis, and powertrain are identical. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Body structure: The Lavida is a sedan, while the Lavida Hatchback is a hatchback; 2. Launch time: The Lavida was launched in June 2008, while the Lavida Hatchback was launched in April 2013; 3. Exterior features. (1) The Lavida sedan measures 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height. Its headlights feature a clean and straightforward design with separate low and high beams. The fog lights have a diamond-shaped design with chrome-plated decorative elements, though lower trim models do not include fog lights. The car is equipped with multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. (2) The Lavida Hatchback measures 4454mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height. Its headlights inherit the double-wing design and are paired with 15-inch to 16-inch refined alloy wheels. The new LED flowing taillights feature a dual-piece design with built-in multiple optical fibers.

When Does a Car Need a Wheel Alignment?

Here are the situations when a wheel alignment is needed: 1. When driving on a straight road, you need to hold the steering wheel tightly to prevent the car from veering off course. 2. When the car feels unstable or floats during normal driving, as if turning or driving on rough roads. 3. When one side of the front or rear tires wears out significantly more than the other. 4. When the car consistently pulls to the left or right while driving straight. 5. After installing new tires or following repairs due to a collision, steering, or suspension system issues. Below is relevant information: 1. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and reliability. 2. For passenger cars, the installation of the steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has specific relative positions. This installation with specific relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment includes caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe-in. This applies to the two front steering wheels. 3. Similarly, the rear wheels have specific relative positions with the rear axle, known as rear wheel alignment. Rear wheel alignment includes camber angle and toe-in for each rear wheel. Together, front and rear wheel alignment is referred to as four-wheel alignment.

When to Add Antifreeze?

Antifreeze should be added when its level is below the standard mark. This liquid must also be antifreeze to ensure it does not freeze at low temperatures, as freezing can cause severe engine damage. Generally, antifreeze should remain unfrozen at least at -30 degrees Celsius. The coolant reservoir has MAX and MIN level marks. Add antifreeze when the level is below the MIN mark when the engine is cold. The amount added should be based on the reservoir's marks, ensuring it stays between MAX and MIN. Additionally, after a certain period, typically 3-5 years or 60,000-100,000 kilometers (depending on the vehicle model and manufacturer's requirements), a complete replacement of the antifreeze is necessary. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking. Antifreeze is not only used in winter but is required year-round. The engine and its cooling system are made of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals, when in contact with water under high temperatures over time, can corrode and rust. Antifreeze not only avoids causing corrosion to the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions.
