According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity of a vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher is one kilogram. As a car owner, when purchasing a vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher, you can choose one weighing between 1-3 kilograms. Below are the relevant instructions: How to choose: Common causes of car fires include electrical fires and fuel leakage fires. For electrical fires, a water-based mist extinguisher is more suitable; for fuel fires, a water-based foam extinguisher is preferable. Dry powder fire extinguishers have good versatility and a wide range of applications, making them suitable for both types of fires mentioned above. Usage specifications for dry powder fire extinguishers: Before use, the extinguisher should be fully inverted and shaken several times to ensure the dry powder inside is loosened. Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand (or support the bottom of the bottle with your hand if it is a tubeless extinguisher), and aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. Press the handle of the extinguisher firmly, and the dry powder will then be discharged from the nozzle.

Do Cars Need to Warm Up in Winter?

Winter car warm-up is necessary, as detailed below: 1. Reason: After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, upon ignition, the upper part of the engine is in a state without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after starting for the oil pump to circulate the oil to the parts that need lubrication the most, such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. 2. Note: Generally, the warm-up time in winter should be maintained for 2~3 minutes. Avoid immediately stepping hard on the accelerator after starting. During driving, keep the engine operating at medium to low speeds for a period until the water temperature rises to 90°, at which point the engine reaches its ideal operating temperature.

What to Do When the Car Battery Dies and the Engine Won't Start?

Solutions for a dead car battery that prevents the engine from starting: 1. Push-start: First, press the clutch and engage the gear. Use the pushing force to get the car to a certain speed. Once the speed is reached, try to start the engine while giving it some gas. As soon as the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal and control the throttle to prevent the engine from stalling. This method can successfully start the car. 2. Jump-start: Find another car with a working battery. Open the hoods of both cars, take out the jumper cables, and connect positive to positive and negative to negative. This will allow the car to start.

What is Four-Wheel Alignment?

Four-wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and certain reliability. Since the installation of car tires, steering mechanisms, and front and rear axles should have specific angles and relative positions, correcting the angles and positions between the chassis and tire components constitutes four-wheel alignment. The following are reasons for performing four-wheel alignment: 1. Severe vehicle drift to one side, and noticeable uneven tire wear, possibly on the outer or inner side of the tire. 2. The vehicle has been involved in a significant collision that affected the tires. 3. Parts on the vehicle frame or axle suspension have been disassembled. 4. When two or more tires have been replaced.

However, the noise insulation is poor, and tire noise is somewhat loud. 5. Exterior: The design is stable yet youthful, and the headlights are bright.

Can Disinfectant Corrode Car Paint?

Disinfectant cannot corrode car paint; it mainly corrodes the chrome-plated decorative strips on the exterior of the car, causing white spots to appear. Below are methods for disinfecting a vehicle: 1. Ensure the air quality inside the car by maintaining proper ventilation. 2. The cabin air filter is an important barrier for filtering air inside the car, so it should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary. 3. For door handles, steering wheels, and in-car entertainment systems, disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer applied with a towel can be used. 4. If unknown disinfectant is sprayed on the vehicle, it can be rinsed or wiped off with clean water.
