Here are the solutions for dealing with an iced-up car windshield: 1. Drive the car to a sunny spot and let the ice melt naturally. 2. Use a clean towel soaked in warm water to wipe the windshield. 3. Pour warm water over the windshield. Note: Do not use boiling water, as it may cause the windshield to crack, requiring replacement. Additional Tips: Cover the windshield with a blanket when parking overnight in winter to prevent icing or frost formation the next morning. If possible, park the car in a garage or underground parking lot during winter nights to effectively avoid windshield icing or frost.

How to Open the Rear Sunroof on the 2021 Teana?

Turn on the vehicle's power, then locate the sunroof switch button on the roof to operate it. Types of Teana Sunroof: The Nissan Teana panoramic sunroof is divided into a dual sunroof-type panoramic sunroof and a spliced panoramic sunroof. Dual sunroof-type panoramic sunroof: At the top of the front seats, it is still a standard sunroof like a regular sunroof, and then at the top of the rear seats, the designer adds a non-openable 'sunroof,' which can bring more light into the car, achieving an effect similar to a panoramic sunroof. Spliced panoramic sunroof: Composed of two sunroofs at the front and rear, but the two sunroofs overlap slightly, resembling a single unit. The sunroof area is large, so this type of sunroof can also be classified as an overall openable panoramic sunroof. Advantages of the Teana Sunroof: Due to the large sunroof area, compared to ordinary sedans, it can better maintain fresh air inside the car, quickly remove odors, and provide an excellent experience of looking up at the sky. At high speeds, it is more effective than side windows in reducing interior noise and can quickly lower the temperature inside the car, making it a great way to dissipate heat for cars exposed to the sun.

What Causes the EPC Light on the Car Dashboard to Illuminate?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two scenarios: during the power-on self-test and under other conditions. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is checking the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC indicator light remains illuminated under other conditions or does not turn off for an extended period after the vehicle is started, the possible causes include faults in the engine intake system, throttle body, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other conditions: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will illuminate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle body fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle body. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake and trigger the indicator light. Fuel system fault: This includes situations such as substandard fuel, degraded fuel, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or issues with the intake valves and other powertrain components can also cause the EPC light to illuminate. ECU control unit fault: This may involve interference with the vehicle's computer signals or false alarms from the computer. Brake light fault: This includes scenarios like brake lights not working, faulty brake switches, or brake circuit issues. Solutions for the EPC light illumination: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle body, etc.

Does Daily Charging Harm Tesla's Battery?

Tesla's battery is not harmed as long as it is charged correctly every day. Proper charging has no negative impact: According to battery data from a Tesla owner who drove a Model S P85 for 5 years, covering a total of 76,000 kilometers, the car could travel 426 kilometers on a full charge when new. After 5 years, it could still travel 403 kilometers on a full charge, with only a 5.4% battery degradation. Of course, this level of performance requires meticulous care, attention to detail, and excellent driving habits, which are hard for most people to achieve. The owner mentioned maintaining a good habit of charging the vehicle when the battery level dropped to 5%-10%, and only charging it up to 90%-95%, which helps prolong battery life and minimizes degradation. Battery Replacement: According to domestic regulations, electric vehicles must provide an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty for the battery, during which the battery degradation should not exceed 30%. If the battery degrades significantly, it must be replaced. Tesla offers a product quality guarantee for the power battery and drive unit, ensuring free replacement if severe battery degradation occurs during the warranty period.
