Rain guards serve the following purposes: Rain guards effectively prevent rainwater or strong wind from directly entering the car, improving ventilation efficiency. When driving in the rain, opening the window can also prevent window fogging. Rain guards refer to a type of car accessory that can be used both on rainy days and sunny days. They are protruding rain visors made of synthetic resin or engineering plastic material installed along the top edge of car windows. Additional information: The quality of rain guards mainly depends on two aspects. First is the material of the rain guards; some are made of plastic, while others are made of synthetic resin. Resin offers better quality in terms of thickness and flexibility. Second is the adhesive used for the rain guards; some domestic adhesives may not stick firmly or tightly, allowing rainwater to seep through gaps during heavy rain. As for wind noise, there is actually little difference before and after installation.

Can You Drive to Get a Flat Tire Repaired?

As long as there is a place nearby where you can inflate the tire, you can drive there slowly. If the distance is too far, it is best not to drive there. Below are the signs of a flat tire: Heavier steering wheel: The friction surface between the tire and the ground increases, and so does the corresponding friction, so steering will require more effort, and the steering wheel will feel heavier. Car imbalance: If a tire is flat, you can clearly feel the car tilting to one side. Slower speed: The car's speed will noticeably decrease, and acceleration will be more difficult than usual. Noise while driving: If the tire is flat, the car will make unusual noises while driving.

Will the car stall when braking to 20 km/h in fifth gear?

Whether the car stalls when decelerating to 20 km/h in fifth gear depends on whether the clutch is depressed. As long as the clutch is depressed, the car will not stall. If not, it will definitely stall. Here is the relevant information: Reason: Because the car will stall when the speed drops below 35 km/h in fifth gear. Each gear has a corresponding speed range. During driving, when braking occurs, each gear must maintain a speed above its minimum threshold; otherwise, the car will stall. Purpose: Depressing the clutch prevents stalling, while braking ensures safety. Speed ranges for each gear: First gear: 0 km/h - 15 km/h. Second gear: 10 km/h - 25 km/h. Third gear: 20 km/h - 45 km/h. Fourth gear: 40 km/h - 60 km/h. Fifth gear: Above 60 km/h.

What are the causes of car spontaneous combustion?

The main causes of car spontaneous combustion are as follows: Cause one: Problems with the car's oil circuit, leading to oil or fluid leakage; Cause two: Aging or improper connection of vehicle wiring causing short circuits or sparks; Cause three: Combustion of flammable materials due to high temperatures; Cause four: Fire caused by vehicle collision or mechanical failure; Cause five: Excessive accumulation of engine sludge, combined with high summer temperatures and engine heat, causing the sludge to spontaneously combust due to the heat. Main scenarios of car spontaneous combustion: The car has been waterlogged. After driving through water, it may lead to oxidation of electrical connectors, uneven power supply causing localized overheating, which can trigger spontaneous combustion.

Can in-vehicle ETC be stolen?

In-vehicle ETC can potentially be stolen. Here are some measures to prevent ETC theft: 1. When applying for a vehicle ETC, only apply for an ETC card, which is an IC card or magnetic card that can only be settled in ETC scenarios. This card does not have financial functions, so criminals cannot steal it. 2. Go to the bank to set a fixed limit for the ETC, not too high, so that even if it is stolen, the loss will not be too great. 3. Special card for special use. When applying for an ETC co-branded card at the bank, cancel all other financial functions of the bank card and only retain the ETC usage function. 4. To ensure the safety of cardholders and eliminate their concerns about experiencing the small-amount quick payment function, China UnionPay and various commercial banks have set up special compensation funds for cardholders and provided a 72-hour lost card protection service.

What are the tips for passing the exhaust emission test for old cars?

Tip 1: Clean the throttle body once before the inspection; Tip 2: Use 97-octane gasoline in advance. Higher-grade gasoline produces less pollution. If ethanol gasoline is available, it's even better. Ethanol gasoline contains 10% ethanol, which can reduce exhaust emissions by 10%; Tip 3: Increase the engine speed on the way to the inspection site. Due to urban traffic congestion and frequent stops, incomplete combustion occurs, leading to pollutants adhering to the surface of the three-way catalytic converter. Tip 4: After the appearance check, rev the engine hard. It is unwise to take a cold car to the inspection line. The reason is that the optimal working temperature of the three-way catalytic converter is between 400 to 800 degrees, and it takes a long time to reach 400 degrees from a cold start.
