The reason for the persistent fogging on the outside of the windshield is the presence of moisture on the exterior of the windshield after rain. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Temperature difference between inside and outside the car: The main cause is the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. When cold air reaches the glass, external moisture condenses on the glass due to the cold. This is a basic principle of physics. A large temperature difference between the interior of the vehicle and the outside, or during rainy conditions, can lead to fogging on the windshield and door glass surfaces, posing a safety hazard for driving. 2. Precautions: Regularly clean debris and snow near the air conditioning intake to ensure the proper functioning of the air conditioning system. Generally, the ventilation mode should be set to external circulation to facilitate air flow.

What does the turtle symbol mean in electric vehicles?

Electric vehicles displaying a turtle symbol indicate that the vehicle has encountered a fault but can still operate, with speed limited to 10 km/h to facilitate driving to a repair shop. Precautions for using electric vehicles are as follows: 1. Regular inspections: If the driving range of a new energy vehicle suddenly drops significantly, it is highly likely that at least one battery in the pack has developed a problem. In such cases, you should immediately head to a repair shop for timely resolution. 2. Avoid overcharging: New energy vehicles must avoid overcharging, over-discharging, and insufficient charging, as these can shorten battery life. During use, charging time and frequency should be determined based on actual vehicle conditions. If the battery indicator light comes on, charge as soon as possible to prevent over-discharging, which can affect battery life. Additionally, charging time should not be excessively long to avoid overcharging, which can cause the battery to overheat. If the battery temperature exceeds 65°C during charging, stop charging immediately to prevent hazards. 3. Gentle acceleration: When starting a new energy vehicle, avoid hard acceleration as it can cause high-current discharge from the battery. High-current discharge can lead to the formation of lead sulfate crystals, damaging the physical properties of the battery plates and reducing service life.

What do L, H, and M represent in terms of gear positions?

L stands for Low gear, M for Medium gear, and H for High gear. The meaning of car gear positions: Gear positions are adjustment devices that regulate the speed and traction (torque) of a car. The lower the gear, the slower the speed, but the greater the car's traction (torque). The higher the gear, the faster the speed, but the smaller the car's traction (torque). Gear positions are generally divided into two main categories: forward gears and reverse gears. Engaging a forward gear makes the car move forward, while engaging reverse gear makes the car move backward. Common car gear positions: Typically, a regular car has five forward gears and one reverse gear. The first forward gear is the starting gear, where the speed is the slowest (0-10 km/h), but the torque is the greatest. Application of gear positions: The first gear is also suitable for climbing steep slopes. After starting, when the engine speed reaches around 2000 RPM, shift to the second gear, which is suitable for low-speed urban driving and climbing gentle slopes. Subsequently, shift to the next gear when the speed reaches around 2000 RPM. The fourth and fifth forward gears are high-speed gears, suitable for driving on well-maintained highways.

Should the parking contact number be placed on the left or right side?

The driver's line of sight is primarily focused on the left side. To avoid obstructing the view while driving, the parking contact number card should be placed on the right side (behind the front windshield on the passenger side). Recommendation: There are some parking contact number cards on the market that can be placed outside the front windshield, but these are not recommended for purchase. First, there is the issue of stability. While they may work fine for short-term use, prolonged exposure to sun and rain will inevitably reduce the adhesive capability of the parking contact number card. If you cannot find the owner's contact number when trying to move a parked car in a residential area or shopping mall parking lot, you can ask the on-site management staff to assist. They may have registered contact information. If no contact information is registered, you can directly call 12123 and provide the license plate number to obtain the owner's contact details and request them to move the car. Leaving a parking contact number can pose risks: First, it is easy for someone to copy the number. The copied license plate number and corresponding parking contact number may be sold to other organizations, which could lead to harassment of the car owner. Second, the phone information can be used for scams. Using the license plate number and parking contact number, scammers may further search for the owner's WeChat ID, or even their name and ID number.

What is the difference between Bridgestone 400 and 422?

Bridgestone 400 and 422 differ in tread patterns and applications, with one being a quiet and comfortable tire and the other a high-grip performance tire. Here is some information about Bridgestone: 1. Origin: Bridgestone was founded in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, by Shojiro Ishibashi (1889-1976). Ishibashi believed that using an English name would facilitate the company's product exports, so he translated his surname 'Ishibashi' into 'STONEBRIDGE'. However, due to its awkward pronunciation, it was decided to reverse the name to 'BRIDGE-STONE', hence the name Bridgestone. Previously, the tires produced by the company were also referred to as 'Ishibashi Tires'. 2. Development: Bridgestone has grown into an international multinational corporation, operating 47 tire plants and 65 chemical and other product plants in 24 countries and regions. It also has three technical development centers in Tokyo (Japan), Akron (USA), and Rome (Italy). As the world's largest rubber manufacturing company, Bridgestone holds a 19.1% global market share in tires. 80% of the company's products are tires, but it also manufactures industrial rubber and chemical products, sports equipment, and other diversified products. By the end of 2001, the group employed over 100,000 people.

What Causes a Car Fan to Keep Running?

There are several reasons why a car fan keeps running, including high engine temperature and poor electrical connections. Below are detailed explanations: High Engine Temperature: The engine may still be in a high-temperature state if the coolant temperature hasn't dropped yet. The wiring for the coolant temperature sensor is not controlled by the ignition system. As long as the temperature remains high, it will send a high-temperature signal to the computer, causing the fan to continue running to cool the engine until the temperature drops to an appropriate level. Poor Electrical Connections: If the fan keeps running even after the engine temperature has dropped, it may be due to poor electrical connections. You can try unplugging the fan's wiring harness to perform a separate power-off procedure.

How to Adjust the Temperature of a Car Air Conditioner?

Car air conditioners adjust temperature through a thermostat. Here is an introduction to car air conditioners: Functions of Car Air Conditioners: Car air conditioners can control the temperature inside the vehicle, heating or cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level. Car Air Conditioning Refrigeration System: The refrigeration system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. These components are connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. During operation, the refrigerant circulates through this sealed system in different states.
