Temporarily parking in the rain requires turning on the clearance lights and rear position lights. The traffic law stipulates that "during nighttime when streetlights are on, or when driving in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, headlights, clearance lights, and rear position lights should be turned on." This is because visibility is generally very low in such weather. When the rain is heavy, headlights or front fog lights should be turned on. In heavier rain, the rainwater itself obstructs visibility, and water on the road surface splashed by the rolling tires of the vehicle ahead forms a mist, which also significantly affects visibility. In such cases, headlights or front fog lights should be used. Rear fog lights can be turned on during heavy rain. Rear fog lights should only be used when the rain is extremely heavy because the red tail lights already have excellent penetration, and ordinary heavy rain cannot block their light. Rear fog lights are very bright and are designed to penetrate thick fog.

What are the methods for choosing automotive explosion-proof film?

Automotive explosion-proof film should be selected based on the following methods: choose a film with good light transmission that does not obstruct visibility. The functions of explosion-proof film include: 1. Heat insulation and cooling: It can reduce the overheating phenomenon inside the car caused by sunlight exposure, keeping the interior cool while also reducing air conditioning consumption; 2. UV protection: While ultraviolet radiation has sterilizing effects, it can also harm human skin. Explosion-proof film effectively blocks UV rays, protecting passengers' skin; 3. Preventing glass cracking and interior fading: Besides harming the owner's skin, prolonged direct sunlight can cause the car's interior to crack and fade. Explosion-proof film also helps maintain the car's interior and prolong its service life.

What is the difference between tire pressure monitoring and tire pressure warning?

The difference between tire pressure monitoring and tire pressure warning lies in their detection methods: tire pressure monitoring employs active detection, while tire pressure warning utilizes passive detection. The hazards of excessive tire pressure include: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance and tire lifespan; 2. Decreased puncture resistance, increasing the risk of tire blowouts; 3. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire life, increasing vehicle vibration, and impacting other component longevity; 4. Overextension of tire cords leading to reduced elasticity, increasing driving load and decreasing puncture resistance; 5. Increased susceptibility to punctures from road debris like nails or glass, potentially causing internal cracks, bursts, and blowouts.

What is the method to check the transmission oil level in a Volkswagen CC?

To check the transmission oil level in a Volkswagen CC, follow these steps: 1. Preheat the oil to approximately 50 degrees Celsius. 2. Shift the gear lever through each position, pausing for a few seconds in each gear, then check the oil level using the dipstick located on top of the transmission. The functions of transmission oil are: 1. To keep the shifting system clean; 2. To lubricate the transmission components. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen CC as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4865mm, width 1870mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase 2841mm, fuel tank capacity 66 liters, trunk capacity 501 liters, and curb weight 1640kg.

What Causes the Rattling Noise When a Camry Drives on Bumpy Roads?

The rattling noise when a Camry drives on bumpy roads can be caused by various reasons. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Insufficient Body Rigidity: Rattling noises in the body often occur due to insufficient body rigidity, which causes the vehicle to deform during driving, leading to friction or shaking between doors and door frames, or even friction between steel plates due to welding failures. This is primarily a quality and manufacturing issue, with no fundamental solution. However, some rattling noises may result from loose body components, which can be fixed by tightening screws or replacing adhesive strips. Applying adhesive strips on windows or placing rubber pads in friction-prone areas might reduce or eliminate the noise, but these are temporary fixes. 2. Engine Vibration: Some engine noises are normal, but certain unusual sounds may indicate potential faults. For example, a high-pitched belt squeal is usually caused by belt slippage; sharp metal friction sounds during engine operation may stem from damaged bearings in the generator, water pump, or power steering pump, or from loose fasteners. A hissing sound could indicate an exhaust system blockage, vacuum tube leak, or breakage. Heavy metallic knocking sounds suggest engine knocking, often caused by excessive ignition advance angle, excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, low spark plug heat range, or the use of low-quality gasoline. 3. Tire Noise: If you hear a "tapping" sound while driving, it might be due to a stone stuck in the tread or a punctured tire. A dull "rumbling" sound accompanied by tire and body shaking indicates uneven tire wear, requiring tire replacement. Overinflated tires can also cause excessive tire noise.
