Refrigerant is also known as refrigeration working fluid. Here is an introduction to refrigerant: 1. In some southern regions, it is commonly known as "snow seed." It is a working substance that continuously circulates in the refrigeration system and achieves cooling through changes in its own state. 2. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled medium (such as water or air) in the evaporator and vaporizes, then transfers the heat to the surrounding air or water in the condenser and condenses. Precautions for adding refrigerant to a car: 1. Before using the machine, the oil plug on the vacuum pump must be replaced, and the exhaust oil plug must be swapped out. 2. The vacuum gauge must not be subjected to high pressure. The vacuum gauge valve V3 must be closed before connecting the high and low-pressure pipes and adding refrigerant. 3. The force used to close the valves should be moderate. Tightening force should be minimized as much as possible without causing leaks to extend the service life of the valves. However, even if the sealing parts are damaged after long-term use, repair and replacement are very simple. 4. Pure refrigerant without solid impurities should be used. 5. All valves must be closed after the operation is completed.

What Does On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive Mean?

On-demand four-wheel drive refers to a system that activates four-wheel drive when necessary, while operating as a two-wheel drive system under normal conditions. Compared to other four-wheel drive systems, on-demand four-wheel drive has a simpler structure, effectively reducing costs and overall vehicle weight. In daily use, on-demand four-wheel drive can handle sudden slippage, improving driving performance. However, it is not suitable for high-intensity off-road conditions. Each driven wheel of a car must have a differential to enable turning on high-traction surfaces, as different wheels rotate at different speeds during turns. The differential is the component that eliminates this speed difference. Full-time four-wheel drive is based on this concept, with its central differential serving to eliminate the speed difference between the front and rear axles, ensuring four-wheel drive at all times.

Is a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius normal for an old Jetta?

Old Jetta's water temperature at 100 degrees Celsius is abnormal. The normal water temperature should be between 80-90 degrees. Generally, engine-specific coolant can withstand a maximum temperature of around 110 degrees. 100 degrees won't cause boiling unless pure water is used. Try switching to a higher concentration coolant, check if the pipes are unobstructed, and inspect the thermostat and gauge sensor. Additional information: 1. The normal operating temperature for most small cars is 80°C-105°C (when antifreeze is added), but the normal water temperature usually stays around ninety degrees. Most ordinary cars cannot exceed 100 degrees for extended periods, with 105 degrees being the limit. 2. In summer, the engine can reach 90℃ within 2-3 minutes after starting. In winter, it usually takes 10-15 minutes or more to reach 90℃. 3. If the water temperature is too high and the engine overheats, it can easily boil over. If the water temperature is too low, the engine cannot operate normally.

What is the best method to adjust the rearview mirror angle?

Methods for adjusting the rearview mirror to the optimal angle: 1. First, adjust your seat position correctly. The proper sitting posture is for the driver to maintain an upright body position, with arms slightly bent when holding the steering wheel. 2. The adjustment standard for the left rearview mirror is to place the horizon at the center line of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy one-quarter of the mirror's image. 3. The adjustment standard for the right rearview mirror is to place the horizon at two-thirds of the mirror's height, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy one-quarter of the mirror's image. 4. The adjustment standard for the center rearview mirror is to position the distant horizon horizontally at the center line of the mirror, then adjust left and right until the image of your right ear just appears at the left edge of the mirror.

What does it mean to have two attempts in the Subject 1 exam?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulate that on the day of the Subject 1 make-up exam, candidates can take the test twice. If they fail the first attempt, they can take a second free make-up exam. If they still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and they can only reschedule the exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for the Subject 1 driving license exam is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. In the exam room, the identity verification area will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a make-up exam on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam allows one make-up attempt if the initial attempt is failed. If you do not take the make-up exam or fail it, the exam is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams can be rescheduled after ten days. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4.

How many minutes can you park at most before being captured for illegal parking?

Illegal parking capture allows for a maximum of 3 to 5 minutes. When a vehicle enters a temporary parking zone, the camera will take the first photo. If the vehicle remains parked beyond the allowed time, a second photo will be taken and uploaded to the system, recording it as an illegal parking violation. Additionally, drivers should note that in no-parking zones, any parking duration, no matter how brief, will be captured and considered illegal parking. Parking is strictly prohibited in the following situations: 1. Within intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations; 2. On road sections with no-parking signs or markings, areas with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as crosswalks and construction zones; 3. Within 30 meters of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, except when using these facilities.
