Here are specific solutions for dealing with fog on the outside of the windshield on rainy days: Using the Air Conditioning System: Turn the temperature control knob to the warm air direction and press the defrost button to gradually remove the fog. Using Anti-Fog Products: Spray glass cleaner evenly on the windshield and wipe it clean. One application can prevent fogging for about ten days to half a month. Cold and Hot Air Convection: Open the side windows slightly to allow air convection, which helps eliminate fog. Precautions for Driving in the Rain: Reduce Speed and Drive Slowly: Regardless of road width or condition, drive slowly in the rain, always paying attention to the distance between your car and others, and be prepared to take emergency measures if necessary. Maintain a Safe Distance: Visibility is reduced in rainy conditions, so keep a safe distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks, which can block your view and create water splashes that may interfere with your driving.

I often encounter fogging on the outside of the windshield on rainy days, which is actually caused by the low temperature outside the car and the high temperature inside. I usually just turn on the wipers and swipe a couple of times, and the fog disappears immediately. If the wipers don't clear it well, I turn on the air conditioner and direct it at the windshield—cold air works the fastest. Lower the temperature and increase the fan speed. Remember not to wipe it with your hands; not only does it not clean well, but it can also leave an oily film. Sometimes, I spray some anti-fog agent in advance—a bottle from the supermarket costs just over ten yuan and lasts a long time. Also, it's important to check the wiper blades before driving. Worn-out wipers not only fail to clear the fog effectively but can also damage the glass. If all else fails, just pull over and deal with it—safety first.

Why does the brake pedal feel harder than before?

The main reasons why the brake pedal feels harder than before are: failure of the brake booster pump resulting in loss of assistance; clogged vacuum tube; sticking of the master cylinder or wheel cylinder; clogged brake fluid line. Below are detailed explanations: Booster pump failure: The force applied to the brake pedal needs to be amplified by the brake booster pump. If the vacuum booster pump leaks or malfunctions, braking will become difficult. Clogged vacuum tube: A clogged engine vacuum tube leads to loss of brake assistance, making the brake pedal feel harder. Sticking master cylinder or wheel cylinder: If the master cylinder or wheel cylinder sticks, the entire braking system will fail to function properly, resulting in a hard brake pedal. Clogged brake fluid line: The primary cause of a clogged brake fluid line is aged or deteriorated brake fluid, which leads to reduced hydraulic pressure and a harder brake pedal.

What Causes the Spring Contraction Sound When Braking?

Braking with a spring contraction sound is a normal noise when the ABS is operating, so there's no need to worry. When the ABS system is active, the ABS indicator light on the dashboard will flash. Below is relevant information about the ABS system: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) consists of components such as the ABS module, ABS master cylinder, hydraulic pipes, and wheel speed sensors. During vehicle braking, it automatically controls the braking force to prevent wheel lock-up, maintaining a state where the wheels are both rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio around 20%) to ensure maximum traction between the tires and the road surface.

Will the Engine Stall When Braking and Releasing the Clutch?

If the gear is in neutral, braking and releasing the clutch will not cause the engine to stall. However, if the vehicle is in gear and the clutch is fully released, the engine will stall. This is determined by the characteristics of the clutch. Below is relevant information about the clutch: Introduction: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Function: During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be separated or engaged at any time. Basic requirements for the clutch: smooth engagement, quick and thorough separation; easy adjustment and repair; compact size; lightweight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity.

Why does my foot shake involuntarily when depressing the clutch?

Involuntary foot shaking when depressing the clutch is usually caused by incorrect sitting posture, which puts excessive strain on the legs and feet, or it may result from the driver being overly nervous. Here are some clutch operation techniques: Maintain proper sitting posture: Adjust the driver's seat properly, lean back against the seat, relax back muscles, keep arms slightly bent, hold the steering wheel naturally, and maintain some knee bend when depressing the clutch pedal. Correct pedal operation: Place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with the heel moving backward along the leg; during the final release stage of the clutch (when the vehicle just begins to move), you can use the grounded heel as a pivot point and adjust clutch engagement with ankle movement. This can reduce leg shaking and make it easier for beginners to control the clutch.

What's the reason for no response when stepping on the accelerator?

If the car's accelerator pedal doesn't respond when pressed, it indicates an abnormality in the vehicle's power system. The engine's power is generated through the coordinated operation of the intake system, ignition system, and fuel system. If any of these components malfunctions, it could lead to a decrease in engine power, resulting in no response when the accelerator is pressed. Here is some additional information: The accelerator, also known as the "throttle" or "gas pedal," is a control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In gasoline engines, the accelerator doesn't control the fuel injection quantity but rather the opening degree of the throttle valve. A smaller opening means less air-fuel mixture enters the cylinders, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa.
