The solution when there is no windshield washer fluid in the car is to add windshield washer fluid. The method for adding windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. Turn on the wiper switch to spray the windshield washer fluid from below the front windshield. 2. Continue until the spray nozzles no longer spray fluid, then open the windshield washer fluid filler cap and add a small amount of windshield washer fluid. 3. Turn on the wiper switch again to clear out any remaining windshield washer fluid. 4. When the spray nozzles no longer spray fluid the second time, add windshield washer fluid, then securely close the filler cap. The functions of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Clean debris from the windshield. 2. Lower the freezing point of the liquid. 3. Ensure the windshield remains clear and transparent, providing a clear field of vision.

I remember last time when I drove to the countryside for fun, halfway the windshield was covered with bug splatters and became unclear. When I pressed the washer, nothing came out—it was really frustrating. The solution was to quickly find a place to buy a bottle of windshield washer fluid and pour it in. Here are the specific steps: Find a gas station or convenience store to buy dedicated windshield washer fluid, open the engine hood—usually there’s a blue-capped tank on the left side—unscrew it carefully, and fill it up but leave some space to prevent freezing in cold weather. If you can’t find washer fluid temporarily, you can use clean water with a few drops of dish soap as an emergency measure, but never use this in winter to avoid freezing. After filling, start the car and test the washer to ensure the nozzles aren’t clogged. By the way, I’d like to remind everyone to develop the habit of checking the windshield washer fluid level before driving, such as checking the tank’s water level line monthly or taking a quick look every time you refuel. This can help avoid the risk of dry wiping damaging the wiper blades or dealing with emergencies. It’s always good to keep a bottle of washer fluid in the car, especially during long trips—safety first.

The worst fear when driving is obstructed vision. I once experienced blurred windshield due to rain on the highway, and the washer fluid didn't work. Immediately pulled over to a safe area to check and found the washer fluid tank empty. Priority solution for safety: After parking, add store-bought windshield washer fluid to the tank or temporarily use bottled water with dishwashing liquid as an emergency measure. Be careful not to dry-wipe to avoid damaging the wiper blades; in rainy conditions, use the wiper mode temporarily. After refilling, test the nozzles—if the water flow is weak, it might be clogged and require unclogging with a needle. For long-term maintenance, it's recommended to clean the reservoir every quarter to prevent dirt buildup and use antifreeze washer fluid suitable for the climate to prevent freezing. Although this seems minor, it's crucial for driving safety—don't neglect timely handling to avoid accidents. Always keep a small bottle of washer fluid in your car emergency kit to ensure clear vision and risk-free driving.

I found the windshield washer fluid won't spray, but fixing it myself is quite simple: Open the hood and locate the blue-capped reservoir in the engine compartment. If the water level is low, just buy windshield washer fluid and top it up. If unavailable, temporarily mix purified water with alcohol and dish soap as an anti-freeze emergency solution. Be careful not to spill while filling to avoid dirtying the engine. After testing the spray function, make it a habit to check the fluid level monthly to save money and hassle. DIY is fun, saves money, and helps you learn new skills—pretty awesome.

Why is it difficult to shift from P to R gear?

Difficulty in shifting from P to R gear is mainly caused by incorrect parking methods. Here are the details: When you last parked and turned off the engine, because the engine was still running, shifting from D or R gear to P gear requires passing through R gear, which causes the gears to get stuck. As a result, it becomes difficult to shift out of P gear the next time. Here are the solutions to the difficulty in shifting from P to R gear: (1) Stop the car by pressing the brake, keep the brake pressed, shift from D to N gear, then engage the handbrake with your left foot, release the foot brake with your right foot, shift from D to P gear, turn off the engine, and exit the car. (2) When driving, press the foot brake, start the engine, and shift gears to solve the problem.

Does the brake fluid of a sedan need to be replaced?

Car brake fluid needs to be replaced. The following are the effects of not replacing the brake fluid: 1. Not replacing the brake fluid increases the probability of brake problems, and brake problems are serious issues. Additionally, brake fluid has a property of easily absorbing water. It can absorb water vapor from the air. When the brake fluid contains too much water and the brakes are used frequently, high temperatures will be generated. The high temperature is transferred from the brake caliper to the piston and then to the brake fluid. The boiling point of water is low, so it turns into water vapor. Water vapor is compressible, which can lead to a decrease in braking force. 2. If the brake fluid is not replaced in time, the deterioration or contamination of the brake fluid can also cause a decrease in braking force. Additionally, it can increase the wear of the brake master cylinder and wheel cylinder pistons, shortening their lifespan.

Do New Cars Need a Break-in Period?

New cars require a break-in period, as the condition during this phase directly affects the vehicle's lifespan. The precautions for the break-in period of a new car are as follows: 1. Warm up the car before starting. 2. There are speed limits during the break-in period: generally 40 to 70 km/h for domestic cars and within 100 km/h for imported cars. 3. Maintain engine speed between 2000 and 2500 rpm while driving. Shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid driving at high gears with low rpm or low gears with high rpm. Also, avoid using a single gear for extended periods. 4. The load during the break-in period should not exceed 75% of the rated capacity. The actual load should be less than the specified weight or number of passengers, and overloading must be avoided. 5. Avoid sudden braking during the break-in period, as emergency braking can affect the braking system and place excessive load on the engine.

Why Avoid 0 as the Last Digit of License Plates?

There are several reasons why people avoid having 0 as the last digit of license plates: 1. Symbolism: Some choose not to have 0 as the tail number due to perceived negative connotations. For car owners, purchasing a vehicle is a significant event, and selecting a license plate is an important part of the process. Many regions emphasize avoiding unlucky tail numbers, fearing they may bring misfortune, hence people prefer auspicious numbers. 2. Mixed Interpretations: "0" is a highly controversial digit. While its rounded shape may symbolize completeness or perfection, others interpret it as "utter emptiness," "achieving nothing," or "empty love and career prospects." Different regions hold varying beliefs about 0. 3. Traffic Restrictions: Another drawback in cities with driving restrictions is that vehicles with license plates ending in "0" are typically banned on Fridays, which is often a busy day for outings.

What are the consequences of not scrapping a motorcycle when it expires?

The consequence of not scrapping and deregistering a motorcycle after its expiration is that the un-scrapped and un-deregistered motorcycle will remain under the owner's name, which may affect future car purchases and driver's license services. According to regulations, the scrapping period for motorcycles is 13 years. Local authorities can set stricter scrapping periods, but it should not be less than 11 years, so the scrapping period ranges from 11 to 13 years. A motorcycle can be kept after scrapping, but it cannot be driven on the road. Motorcycle scrapping process: First, bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and license plate number to the vehicle management office to fill out a scrapping application form. After approval by the vehicle management office, a scrapping notice will be issued. Take the notice to a recycling company.
