Here are the methods to deal with fogging on the outside of the car's front windshield: 1. When there are water droplets on the outside glass. Adjust the air conditioning temperature slightly higher, direct the vents away from the windshield, and use the windshield washer and wipers to promptly resolve the issue of water droplets forming outside. 2. When fogging occurs inside the car. If this happens during summer after rain, immediately turn on the air conditioning in cooling mode and adjust it to blow air onto the front windshield to quickly disperse the fog on the glass. If fogging occurs inside the car during winter when temperatures are generally lower and the air conditioning cooling effect is slower, it's best to open the windows immediately to resolve the fogging more quickly. Using the air conditioning heating method can also remove fog, but this method is slower and may cause more fogging on the side windows, affecting driving safety, so it's not recommended. Additional information: 1. When the inside temperature is low and the outside temperature is high, you may notice water droplets forming on the outside glass surface where the air conditioning air hits. This is due to moisture in the air condensing into water droplets when it meets cold surfaces, similar to how condensation forms on air conditioning units. 2. When it's cold outside and warm inside, fogging occurs very quickly, which is the most dreaded situation while driving. This is also caused by moisture in the car's air condensing into tiny water droplets on the cold glass.

What is the difference between an SUV and an off-road vehicle?

The differences between SUVs and off-road vehicles are as follows: 1. Name: SUV is the abbreviation for sport-utility-vehicle, which directly translates to a sport utility vehicle. It refers to a type of vehicle that combines the comfort of a sedan with relatively high ground clearance and a larger cargo space, capable of overcoming slightly higher obstacles. The English abbreviation for an off-road vehicle is ORV, short for Off-Road-Vehicle, which directly translates to an all-terrain vehicle, meaning an off-road vehicle. It refers to a type of vehicle that can travel on rough or even roadless terrains, fundamentally different from an SUV. 2. Body structure: SUVs use a unibody construction, while off-road vehicles use a body-on-frame construction. Unibody construction means that all forces encountered during driving are borne by the body itself. Its most notable feature is the absence of a separate frame; the body is composed of a rigid framework welded together from the floor, skeleton, and inner and outer panels, with the engine, transmission, and suspension system all mounted on the body. The entire body structure participates in load-bearing, primarily used in most sedans and urban SUVs. Its advantages include lighter weight, lower overall height, and better comfort, while its disadvantages are lower longitudinal stiffness, lower torsional rigidity, and a body more prone to deformation.

Can You Make a U-turn at a Highway Toll Station?

Highways do not allow U-turns at toll stations. Here are the relevant details about making U-turns on highways: 1. First, if you are inside a highway toll station and preparing to exit the highway, you cannot make a U-turn. The lanes inside the highway are one-way, and if you miss an exit, you must proceed to the next one. Similarly, if you arrive at a highway exit and realize you might be exiting too early, you still cannot make a U-turn—you must exit first. 2. If you are outside the highway, near the entrance to a toll station, it is best to make a U-turn before entering the highway entrance. The correct term for this area is the "highway toll station inner plaza." Since making a U-turn in the inner plaza of a highway toll station can easily lead to traffic accidents, it is prohibited. Otherwise, it would be considered an illegal act of "making a U-turn on a highway."

How to Distinguish the Quality of Shock Absorbers?

There are several methods to judge the quality of shock absorbers: 1. Drive the car on a road with poor conditions for 10 kilometers, then stop and touch the shell of the shock absorber. If it is not hot enough, it means there is no resistance inside the shock absorber, and it is not working. 2. Press the bumper hard and then release it. If the car jumps 2 to 3 times, it means the shock absorber is working well. 3. When the car is moving slowly and emergency braking is applied, if the car vibrates violently, it indicates a problem with the shock absorber. The shock absorber is mainly used to suppress the vibration when the spring rebounds after absorbing shock and the impact from the road surface. When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter the vibration of the road, the spring itself will still have reciprocating motion. The shock absorber is used to suppress this spring jump.
