Vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers for cars can use dry powder fire extinguishers and water-based fire extinguishers. The following is the relevant introduction of fire extinguishers: 1. Dry powder fire extinguisher: Dry powder fire extinguisher is the most common type of fire extinguisher. This type of fire extinguisher is cheap and effective, with a wide range of applications, but it is complex to operate, not resistant to re-ignition, and difficult to clean up afterwards. 2. Water-based fire extinguisher: The mechanism of water-based fire extinguishers is based on the principle of physical fire extinguishing. After being sprayed, the extinguisher forms a water mist, instantly evaporating a large amount of heat from the fire scene, rapidly reducing the temperature of the fire scene, and inhibiting thermal radiation. Surfactants quickly form a water film on the surface of combustible materials, isolating oxygen, with the dual effects of cooling and isolation, while participating in extinguishing the fire, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid fire extinguishing.

What is the width of the serpentine driving lane?

The width of the serpentine driving lane is 3.5m. Waiting in non-testing areas: If you see someone taking the serpentine driving test ahead, do not drive your vehicle into the area. Otherwise, both drivers will be disqualified. The following vehicle can wait in the non-testing area. Stopping during the test will result in disqualification. Speed control: Drive slowly through the S-curves by coordinating the clutch or lightly applying the brakes. After entering the curve, try to take a wide path. When entering a right curve, keep the right wheel close to the right boundary line. For a left curve, perform the opposite operation.

Will Using Wipers on a Dusty Windshield Cause Scratches?

Using wipers on a dusty windshield will not cause scratches. Maintaining cleanliness: When there are streak marks on the glass surface, the wiper blade may be dirty. You can sprinkle alcohol on a towel and wipe the surface of the wiper blade. Cleaning it once a month can improve the performance of the wipers. Checking the rubber: If the wipers make unusual noises while operating, the rubber blade may be aging or cracked. If the wear is not severe, you can use sandpaper to smooth out rough spots on the surface. Avoiding sunlight: Park the car in a shaded area where it is not exposed to sunlight, such as a garage. Summer is a season that can be particularly harsh on cars. Wiper blades are rubber products, and exposure to sunlight will only accelerate their aging process. Refilling fluid: Adding plain water directly to the windshield washer fluid reservoir is not conducive to the long-term maintenance of the windshield or wiper blades. To ensure the longevity of the components, always use a proper windshield washer fluid. Refill the washer fluid promptly to be prepared for unexpected needs.

What Causes the Inaccurate Fuel Gauge Reading on the Jog?

Here are the specific reasons for the inaccurate fuel gauge reading on the Jog: Fuel Pump Design Issues: This is usually manifested as a slow drop in the fuel gauge needle in the first half of the gauge, followed by a rapid drop after passing the midpoint. However, the inconsistent speed of the fuel gauge needle is related to the design of the fuel pump used to reflect fuel levels. It cannot uniformly reflect fuel consumption because achieving such a consistent change is difficult, and it cannot be altered by repairing or replacing parts. Fuel Level Sensor Malfunction: The fuel gauge's indication depends on the fuel level sensor. It is possible that the fuel level sensor becomes contaminated due to dirt and is not cleaned in time. Since the fuel level sensor is constantly immersed in fuel, prolonged exposure can lead to contamination, directly affecting the accuracy of the reading.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound After a Car is Turned Off?

It is normal for a car to produce a buzzing sound after being turned off. This could be the sound from the turbocharger, or it might be an unusual noise from the automatic parking system engaging when braking. The correct sequence for turning off the car is: Press the brake to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped, shift the gear to N (Neutral); engage the handbrake and shift to P (Park), then release the brake; promptly turn off any unnecessary electrical devices in the car; check that the gear is in P and the steering wheel is straightened. Precautions after turning off the car: Avoid using electrical devices after turning off the engine; turn off all equipment before exiting the car; disconnect the negative terminal of the battery if the car will not be used for an extended period.

Why is the steering gear so heavy?

The steering gear is heavy due to deformation of the steering knuckle arm, or lack of oil or damage to the steering knuckle thrust bearing. Function of the steering gear: The steering gear, also known as the steering box, is the most important component of a car's steering function. The steering systems currently installed in cars can generally be divided into mechanical steering gears, mechanical hydraulic power steering systems, electro-hydraulic power steering systems, and electric power steering systems. Symptoms of steering gear damage: Difficulty in returning the steering wheel to its original position or a slow return speed indicates a malfunction in the return function, which usually occurs in the mechanical part of the steering system. If the car tends to drift to one side when driving on a cambered road, it is likely that a mechanical component of the steering gear is loose or broken.

Is It Normal for a Car Battery to Fail After 2 Years?

The typical lifespan of a car battery is around 2 years, but with proper maintenance, it's common for batteries to last 6-8 years. Avoid Using Electronic Devices After Turning Off the Engine: Do not excessively use in-car electronic devices like audio systems, video players, or lights when the engine is off. High-power devices such as car vacuum cleaners or portable air pumps can cause significant damage to the battery. It's best to use these devices after starting the car. Avoid Prolonged Parking: Leaving a car parked for extended periods can gradually deplete the battery's charge, potentially leading to a dead battery. To prevent this, drive the car for a while every few days to recharge the battery. Aim to keep the battery fully charged by driving for at least 20 minutes each time.
