Automotive navigation RDS refers to car navigation equipped with a wireless broadcasting system. Below is an introduction to RDS: 1. Definition: RDS stands for Radio Data System, which utilizes subcarriers in FM broadcast signals to digitally transmit information such as station names, program types, program content, and other details. 2. System Features: The RDS system uniquely features an emergency alert function. In case of emergencies, the radio station sends a special signal that forces the radio to broadcast the alert. RDS is highly convenient for use in mobile devices like cars and smartphones. The system employs remote control technology, using a single radio frequency to transmit encoded control signals via subcarriers outside the audio carrier. This eliminates the need to apply for control frequencies, saving frequency resources while enabling control over terminal points.

How to Remove the Rear Window Tint Film?

The method to remove the rear window tint film is as follows: 1. Use a utility knife to make a cut on the rear window tint film; 2. Peel off the rear window tint film with appropriate force to avoid breaking it; 3. Use adhesive remover, a scraper, and a cloth to clean the residual adhesive on the glass; 4. After removing the rear window tint film, ventilate and expose the area to sunlight to eliminate any odors. The functions of the rear window tint film are: 1. Heat insulation and sun protection—the film can effectively block a large amount of heat generated by infrared rays; 2. UV protection—medium and long waves of ultraviolet rays can penetrate thick glass, and applying a heat-insulating film can block most UV rays, protecting the skin from damage and slowing the aging of car interiors.

Why do 4S shops add engine oil to the highest point?

4S shops add engine oil to the highest point because the car is in a hot state when owners go to 4S shops for maintenance. There are two points to note when adding engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil: it is necessary to strictly follow the engine oil grade specified in the car manual. If there is no engine oil of the same grade, you can use a higher grade, but you cannot use a lower grade instead; 2. When adding engine oil: the amount of engine oil added should be slightly lower than the standard scale. Too much engine oil will increase the rotation resistance of the crankshaft, reduce the output power of the engine, and excessive engine oil will enter the combustion chamber to participate in combustion, causing the vehicle to burn engine oil, emit blue smoke, and even increase fuel consumption.
