Door hinge lubricants generally use track grease, with products from brands such as Hotolube and Total. Below are the specific details about the lubricant: 1. Applicable parts: The lubricant is suitable for components like windows, sunroofs, door hinges, engine hood hinges, electric mirrors, and wipers. It provides excellent lubrication for issues such as rust, jamming, and abnormal noises. 2. Functions: High-quality lubricants not only offer lubrication, reducing friction between rubber seals and window glass, effectively eliminating mechanical noise, and solving issues like window squeaking and jamming to provide long-lasting protection for windows; but also effectively clean window stains, prevent rubber seal aging and corrosion, restore flexibility, prevent water leakage from seals, and offer functions like moisture-proof sealing.

Why Do the Lights Stay On After Removing the Car Key?

Many car designs have the headlights not controlled by the ignition switch, also known as ACC control. Here is a detailed introduction about car headlights: 1. Car Headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of the car. They not only affect the external image of the car owner but are also closely related to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. 2. Car Headlight Enhancer: The car headlight enhancer uses a scientific voltage-boosting method to provide a constant optimal working voltage for the car headlights. It preheats and protects the bulb filament during startup (3~6 seconds), and after startup, the headlights emit a constant, bright white light that does not vary with engine speed. It does not alter the original headlight's light distribution, nor does it increase the load on the original car circuit. It is safe and practical, with an extremely simple installation method.

Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in BYD cars?

Generally, this occurs because the volume is not turned on either in the car's navigation system or on the phone. Additionally, some phones have different playback compatibility codes with certain car models, allowing only phone calls but not music playback. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The volume is not turned on in the car's navigation system or on the phone: Solution: Go to the phone's "Settings" — "Sound," find the "Media" option, and increase the "Media" volume. The same applies to the car's navigation system. 2. Multimedia music is not enabled in the car's Bluetooth settings: Solution: Locate the multimedia option on the screen, enter it, and select Bluetooth for music playback. 3. The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function: Solution: Go to the phone's Bluetooth settings, turn off the media audio while keeping the phone audio enabled.

What to Do When the Car Windows Fog Up While Driving?

Press the defog button, turn on the air conditioning (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and activate the external circulation to defog. You can use either cold or warm air to remove fog from the car windows, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing on the surface and achieving defogging. The method for using warm air is the same as cold air, but note that warm air should not be used on rainy days as it may initially worsen the fog. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. The reason car windows fog up: There is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures differ, the side with the lower temperature will have a lower saturated vapor pressure on its surface compared to the surrounding environment, causing water vapor to accumulate on the glass in the form of tiny droplets, forming fog. Methods to defog car windows: Air Conditioning (Cold Air): Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car, if the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the exhaled humid air can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. In this case, turn on the air conditioning and blow cold air onto the windshield. The dehumidification function will quickly remove the fog. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is ineffective, slightly open the windows to rapidly reduce the humidity inside the cabin. Combining this with the air conditioning can speed up the process. Air Conditioning (Warm Air): Use warm air to reduce the temperature difference and remove fog. In winter, blowing warm air onto the glass quickly raises the windshield's temperature, reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces and preventing heavy fogging. However, note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to fully remove the fog. Whether using automatic or manual air conditioning, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Avoid setting the temperature to the coldest level, as prolonged use may cause frost to form on the outer surface of the windshield. Applying Anti-Fog Spray or Other Preventive Measures: Spray a small amount of defogging agent onto the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. This leaves a thin transparent protective film on the glass, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing and forming fog. This is especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to anti-fog spray include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saline solution. After applying, let it dry and then wipe off any excess with a chamois or soft dry cloth. This can keep the windows fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, opening the side windows can create airflow between the inside and outside, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating the fog. This method works on the same principle as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, opening windows has obvious drawbacks—it cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when the fog is too heavy. Rear Window Heating: Most cars are equipped with a rear window heating function, though the button location may vary. Turning on the rear defroster will clear the fog from the rear window in about a minute.

What Causes Frequent Refrigerant Leaks in Car Air Conditioning Systems?

Car air conditioning refrigerant leaks are most commonly caused by damaged sealing rings. For refrigerant leakage issues, the fault may be due to seal failure at pipeline connections, and simply replacing the sealing rings can resolve the problem. Below are the hazards of overcharging refrigerant: 1. Poor cooling performance: Excessive refrigerant increases the suction and discharge pressures in the AC system, making it difficult to lower temperatures during operation. 2. Electrical damage: Current measurements at the compressor power supply will show significantly higher values, which may lead to burnout of electrical components during prolonged operation. 3. Reduced service life: Overcharging increases the energy required for refrigerant compression, placing greater strain on the engine. Additionally, excessive internal pressure in pipelines and compressors causes rough compressor operation, which degrades cooling efficiency and shortens the lifespan of both the AC system and compressor.
