The symbol for defrosting the windshield inside the car is: a fan shape with several upward-pointing arrows. The red box indicates the front windshield defrosting symbol, and below the red box is the rear windshield defrosting symbol. Additional information: Large temperature difference between inside and outside the car: During rainy or snowy seasons, rainwater brought in by passengers and the moisture from their breath can form a layer of fog on the windows and front windshield due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. Quick defogging device: Fogging inside the car is a troublesome issue. Fog on the side windows can obstruct the view of the rearview mirror, and fog on the front windshield can make it difficult for the driver to see the road. Therefore, more and more vehicles are equipped with a one-touch quick defogging device, often marked with a "max" symbol. Pressing this button will direct the airflow straight to the windshield in many models, automatically switch to external air circulation, and turn on the AC, indicating that the air conditioning compressor is activated.

I know the symbol for defogging the windshield in cars. As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, the defog button is shaped like a fan, resembling a fan blowing air onto the windshield. This feature is extremely practical, especially during rainy seasons or cold weather when fog can blur visibility. Pressing it activates the fan to blow warm air, quickly dispersing the fog. It's usually located in the center of the AC panel, making it easy to identify. If the button doesn't work, it might be due to a dirty cabin air filter or a clogged system, requiring regular maintenance. Otherwise, slow defogging can affect driving safety. I recommend checking the AC system every quarter, replacing the filter, and turning on the defogger a few minutes before driving in foggy conditions to ensure clear visibility and peace of mind.

Is Engine Cleaning Oil Useful?

Yes, engine cleaning oil, also known as engine cleaner, is used to clean the engine. It can remove harmful substances such as sludge, carbon deposits, and gum inside the engine, maintaining internal cleanliness. This enhances oil flow, reduces component wear, and extends the engine's lifespan. 1. Regarding engine carbon deposits and sludge: Engines operating for long periods under high temperatures may accumulate carbon deposits and impurities due to fuel issues. While engine oil has some cleaning effect, it is not very effective at removing carbon deposits. Additionally, engine oil tends to produce sludge over time, which is difficult to clean. Excessive carbon deposits or impurities inside the engine can hinder oil flow and accelerate engine wear. Engine cleaning oil can help remove carbon deposits to some extent. 2. Solutions for excessive carbon deposits and sludge: For vehicles that have never used engine cleaning oil and have high mileage or age, using a cleaner may cause oil passage blockage if there is significant sludge buildup, and the cleaning effect may not be ideal. It is more practical to focus on regular vehicle maintenance, ensure proper upkeep, check engine oil periodically, and use high-quality engine oil.

How many days after successful booking can I take the Subject 2 test?

Subject 2 can be scheduled as early as 3-5 days after successful booking, and candidates will receive a corresponding SMS notification upon successful reservation. Here are some precautions for Subject 2: 1. Overcome nervousness: Nervousness can impair judgment and thinking abilities. Some candidates may even experience trembling hands and feet. The most common mistake caused by nervousness is during startup - 80% of startup failures are due to tension, either from poor clutch control or forgetting to release the handbrake. Mindset plays a decisive role. 2. Daily practice: If you frequently make mistakes at certain test points during daily practice, you should reinforce your training to avoid repeating the same mistakes during the actual test. 3. Familiarize yourself with the test site: Make adequate preparations. Most people need to get familiar with the test site. It's crucial to know exactly where the voice prompts will indicate test points along the road. Many people fail because they're unfamiliar with the test site, so thorough preparation beforehand is essential.

What Causes Brake Noise During Cold Start?

Brake noise when starting a cold engine is mainly caused by releasing the brake too slowly during initial movement, which is a common issue for many automatic transmission car owners. When the brake pedal is gradually released, the engine already has sufficient power to propel the vehicle forward, but the brake hasn't fully disengaged. As a result, the wheels that should be moving are still being held by the brake system, naturally producing abnormal noises. This is a normal phenomenon. Below are other related causes: 1. Worn hydraulic lifters or system pressure loss: A 'ticking' sound during a cold morning start or when restarting a car that has been parked for an extended period may indicate worn hydraulic lifters or system pressure loss. If the noise disappears quickly or vanishes after the engine warms up, it's not a major concern and the vehicle can continue to be used. However, if the 'ticking' sound occurs when restarting after half an hour of parking or persists when the engine is warm, the situation is more serious. In such cases, the first step is to measure the lubrication system pressure. If the pressure is normal, the issue is likely with the hydraulic lifters. 2. Worn brake discs and pads: Both brake discs and pads are high-wear components that experience friction during every brake application. Over time, natural wear occurs, and excessive wear will inevitably lead to abnormal noises. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs require replacement every 100,000-120,000 kilometers.
