Newly replaced wiper blades leaving water marks on the return stroke may be due to impurities mixed on the wiper blades, causing scratches between the blades and the windshield. In this case, it is recommended to clean the wiper blades thoroughly. Another possibility is the presence of foreign substances such as insect residue on the windshield surface, preventing a clean wipe. This requires cleaning the windshield thoroughly before conducting a water-wiping test. Additional information is as follows: 1. Basic Introduction: The technical name for wipers is Windshield Wiper. It is a blade-like structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, wiper blade assembly, etc. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust that obstruct the view on the windshield. 2. Wiper Control System: The wiper control system (wiper-control-system) can achieve not only delay control of the wipers through the electronic control system but also some other complex controls. The electronic control system includes a dual-speed motor and two limit switches, allowing the following functions through a handle switch: washing, wiping, high-speed wiping, low-speed wiping, intermittent wiping, and delay control. More complex electronic control systems can also achieve swing adjustment pressure control and rain-sensing control.

What is the difference between full-speed adaptive cruise control and adaptive cruise control?

Full-speed adaptive cruise control provides a simpler, more relaxed, and more enjoyable driving experience. Adaptive cruise control technology assists the driver in driving and relieves fatigue. Full-speed adaptive cruise control and adaptive cruise control have different speed limits and different natures. The following are specific introductions about the differences in speed limits and natures: Differences in speed limits: Full-speed adaptive cruise control can be used at any speed; adaptive cruise control can only be used at speeds above 40 km/h or 60 km/h. Differences in nature: Full-speed adaptive cruise control does not require the driver to touch the accelerator or brake pedal during vehicle operation; it completely releases the driver's right foot, thereby achieving a simpler, more relaxed, and more enjoyable driving experience. For models that cannot achieve full-speed cruise control, when the speed falls below the computer-set speed, the cruise control will automatically exit and hand over driving to the driver. Adaptive cruise control technology is based on active safety configurations and requires radar, ultrasonic, and infrared sensors to detect obstacles, pedestrians, and vehicles ahead. It assists the driver in driving and relieves fatigue. Automatic braking functionality is necessary to ensure precise distance control.

How to Remove an ETC Device?

Method for removing an ETC device: Since there's double-sided tape on the back of the device, you can use a hair dryer to heat it up, then gently pry it off with a small plastic scraper, and finally wipe it clean with a cloth. Note that self-removal will deactivate the ETC device, requiring reactivation at the issuing institution with the vehicle's registration certificate. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, an automated system that identifies vehicles, records information, and deducts fees from pre-linked IC cards or bank accounts when passing through toll stations.

How to Check the Condition of a Car Battery?

Methods to check the condition of a car battery: 1. Inspect the exterior for any deformities, bulges, leaks, cracks, burns, or oxide seepage around screw connections; 2. If the exterior appears normal, operate the UPS in battery mode with a certain load. If the discharge time is significantly shorter than normal, and the battery cannot restore normal backup time after 8 hours of charging, it indicates battery aging; 3. Use a multimeter for measurement. The car battery is a crucial component of the vehicle's electrical system. If the battery malfunctions, the immediate symptom is the inability to start the vehicle, especially in automatic transmission cars. When the battery voltage is too low to start the engine, the only solution is to jump-start the car, which can be quite troublesome.
