Audi Q3's engine buzzing for a while after turning it off is the sound of the electric fan running at high speed. This situation is normal. After the engine system temperature drops, the cooling system will automatically stop working, usually taking 3 to 5 minutes. When the engine temperature is too high, even if the car is turned off and the key is removed, the cooling system will still automatically start to cool the engine system. Additional information: 1. Introduction to car electric fans: Car electric fans are controlled by the engine coolant temperature switch and usually have two-speed levels: 90°C for low speed and 95°C for high speed. Additionally, turning on the air conditioning will also control the operation of the electric fan (condenser temperature and refrigerant pressure control). One type is the silicone oil clutch cooling fan, which relies on the thermal expansion characteristics of silicone oil to drive the fan; another type is the electromagnetic clutch cooling fan, which uses the principle of electromagnetic field attraction to drive the fan. 2. Function and principle: The main advantage is that the fan is only driven when the engine needs cooling, minimizing the energy loss of the engine. The car fan is installed behind the radiator and pulls air from the front of the radiator when turned on; however, some models have fans installed on the front outside of the radiator, blowing air towards the radiator. The fan starts and stops automatically based on the water temperature. At high speeds, the air pressure difference between the front and rear of the vehicle is sufficient to maintain the water temperature at a certain level, so the fan may not need to work at this time.

Can a Sedan Roof Be Equipped with a Luggage Rack?

Sedan roofs can be equipped with luggage racks. Additional Information: 1. Some imported cars even have pre-drilled screw holes on the roof for luggage rack installation. However, installing a luggage rack or placing luggage on the roof must comply with regulations; otherwise, it is not allowed. 2. After installing a luggage rack, a roof cargo box can be added to carry more items. Sedans actually benefit more from roof luggage racks and cargo boxes because their trunks are relatively small and have limited loading capacity. 3. During installation, it is crucial to ensure everything is securely fastened. Otherwise, the luggage rack or cargo box could detach at high speeds, posing a serious hazard. Installing a luggage rack and roof cargo box will increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. Some roof cargo boxes feature aerodynamic designs, but they still contribute to increased air resistance during high-speed driving.

What number to call when your car is blocked and cannot move out?

When your car is blocked and cannot move out, you can call the following numbers: 1. Call the car owner's number: The first thing to do when blocked is to carefully check around the other vehicle, especially near the windshield of the driver's compartment, to see if the owner has left any contact information, such as a phone number or QR code. If there is a phone number, you can directly call the owner. Some owners, to protect their privacy, may use the now-popular QR code method for moving the car, which requires scanning the QR code with a phone and contacting the owner through an app. This process is slightly more complicated but still convenient. 2. Call 114 and select the car-moving service: When you call 114, there will be a car-moving service option in the voice navigation, which will then directly connect you to a customer service representative. You can provide the relevant information to the customer service to contact the owner online to move the car. This method is convenient, fast, and ensures personal privacy. You only need to provide the current location and the other party's license plate number to directly contact the owner. Moreover, the call is connected through 114, so neither party's contact number is disclosed, ensuring a high level of personal privacy protection.

What oil should be used to solve rust on a bicycle chain?

Choose bicycle chain oil for a rusty chain. The selection of lubricating oil and the frequency of oiling depend on the usage environment. Below are specific introductions to bicycle chain oils: 1. Dry chain oil: Used in dry environments, it is dry, not prone to sticking to mud and sand, and easy to clean. The disadvantage is that it evaporates easily and requires frequent oiling. 2. Wet chain oil: Used in humid environments, suitable for routes with standing water or rain. Wet chain oil is more viscous, can adhere for a long time, and is suitable for long-distance travel. The disadvantage is its viscous nature, which makes it prone to sticking to mud and sand, requiring careful maintenance.

When to Start Using a Child Safety Seat?

Child safety seats are divided into 5 categories based on the child's age and weight. Below is a detailed explanation of the applicable situations for child safety seats: 1. Suitable for newborns to 15-month-old children (or infants weighing between 2.2 kg and 13 kg): Bassinet-style safety seats are suitable for newborns to 15-month-old infants (or infants weighing between 2.2 kg and 13 kg). These child safety seats usually come with a rocking base and handles, making them portable like a bassinet. 2. Suitable for newborns to 4-year-old children (or children weighing between 2.2 kg and 18 kg): Adjustable safety seats that can be installed in both forward and rear-facing positions. They are designed to serve two functions: first for newborns to 9-month-old infants, then converted for 9-month-old infants to 4-year-old children. Although these seats lack rocking, portability, or compatibility with strollers, they can be securely fixed in the car for long-term use. If you want to save money, this is a good option. 3. Suitable for 1-year-old to 12-year-old children (or children weighing between 9 kg and 36 kg): Combination safety seats are an interesting hybrid product. They serve as a dedicated seat for toddlers (aged 1 to 4 years) and can later be converted by removing the seat's harness to use the adult seat belt, usable up to 12 years old. 4. Suitable for 3-year-old to 12-year-old children (or children weighing between 15 kg and 36 kg): Unlike Category 3 car safety seat cushions, the 3-year-old to 12-year-old child safety seats provide more side and head protection. The headrest height can be adjusted as the child grows, usable until the child reaches a height of 145 cm. 5. Suitable for 3-year-old to 12-year-old children (or children weighing between 15 kg and 36 kg): Many parents believe that children can stop using car safety seat cushions after the age of 4. However, research shows that children's bodies are still too small, and even with adult seat belts, they remain at significant risk in the event of an accident.

What to Do If You Didn't Take a Card When Entering the Highway?

As long as you provide relevant proof, specifically the proof of the location where you entered the highway, you can be charged based on the actual mileage. If it is during the free passage period on holidays, even if you didn't take a toll card when entering the highway, you won't be charged at the exit. Highway driving precautions: 1. Check before traveling: Insert the ETC user card into the electronic tag. After hearing a 'beep' sound, check whether the electronic tag's LCD screen displays normally. If it shows 'Debit Card' or 'Balance: XXXX yuan,' it means the electronic tag and user card are functioning normally. If it shows 'Tag Invalid,' 'Card Invalid,' or 'Card Expired,' it means the electronic tag or user card is not functioning properly, and you should go to an ETC service center for assistance. 2. Passing: All vehicle users should carefully observe the lane type displayed on the overhead screen of the lane and choose the correct lane to pass. ETC passenger vehicles should choose the 'ETC Dedicated Lane.' Blue-plate two-axle ETC trucks and J1-type ETC container vehicles can choose the 'ETC Dedicated Lane' to pass.
