The water on the windshield normally flows into the engine compartment. The engine compartment is equipped with drainage channels to discharge the water. Below is an introduction to the windshield: 1. Introduction: The development of modern car exteriors is closely related to advancements in glass technology. Over 40 years ago, car windshields began using single-piece curved glass, gradually replacing flat windshields. 2. Technology: Today, car windshields are typically made as a single large curved piece with specific curvatures on all sides. This curved glass is a highly technical product, both in terms of manufacturing and assembly, as it involves considerations such as vehicle design, strength, heat insulation, and installation. 3. Function: Laminated glass consists of a transparent adhesive plastic film sandwiched between two or three layers of glass, combining the toughness of plastic with the hardness of glass to enhance the glass's resistance to breakage.

What is the behavior of overtaking on the emergency lane of a highway?

Overtaking on the emergency lane of a highway is considered dangerous driving and is a violation of traffic laws. Emergency Lane: The emergency lane is primarily marked on both sides of urban ring roads, expressways, and highways, specifically designated for emergency vehicles such as engineering rescue, firefighting, medical ambulances, or police officers performing urgent official duties. Other motor vehicles involved in traffic accidents or experiencing malfunctions that require stopping to await rescue may temporarily park in the emergency lane. Dangers of Overtaking on the Emergency Lane: Using the emergency lane for overtaking on highways is extremely hazardous. For example, if a broken-down vehicle is parked in the emergency lane awaiting rescue while other drivers speed through the same lane, the inability to brake in time due to excessive speed can easily lead to accidents.

How many liters of engine oil does the Buick Excelle need?

The Buick Excelle requires 4.5 liters of engine oil. When adding oil, it's best to fill it to the midpoint between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Try not to go below the midpoint, as high-speed driving can cause the engine to heat up and make the oil thinner. If the oil level is too low, it may reduce lubrication effectiveness. Here's an introduction to engine oil: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is often referred to as the lifeblood of a car. It serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and reducing friction in the engine. Engine oil can consist solely of lubricant base oil without cleaning oil components, or it can be a combination of lubricant base oil and additives to enhance the oil's detergency, extreme pressure performance, and ability to prevent corrosion of engine components.

How Long Does It Take to Jump Start a Car?

It takes about 10 minutes to jump start a car battery. Steps to jump start a car: Drive the working car next to the dead car, with the front ends facing each other and close together. Then, open the hoods of both cars and locate the batteries. Attach the negative clamps to the negative terminals of both car batteries, and the positive clamps to the positive terminals. Finally, start the working car and let it charge the dead battery for about 10 minutes before attempting to start the dead car. Precautions for jump starting a car: After the rescued car's engine starts successfully, remove the negative clamp first, then the positive clamp to prevent short circuits. Additionally, the rescued car should be driven for at least 30 minutes after starting to ensure there is enough battery power for the next start.

Can I still drive a short distance with a tire pressure of 196 kPa?

It is not advisable to continue driving with a tire pressure of 196 kPa. It is recommended to inflate the tires as soon as possible. Tire Pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. At the same time, severe deformation of the tire side accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of a blowout. Additionally, it leads to higher fuel consumption and reduces the lifespan of the tire.

Does the 4th-generation Emgrand have a manual transmission?

Currently, no. Manual transmissions offer slightly better fuel economy than automatic models and have lower maintenance costs. When choosing between manual and automatic, consider: 1. Road conditions: If you frequently drive in urban areas, automatic is preferable; for suburban driving, either is fine. 2. Driving habits: Choose manual if you enjoy the control experience of shifting gears for acceleration. Opt for automatic if you prioritize comfort. 3. Budget: If your budget allows, automatic offers more comfort. There's typically a price difference between manual and automatic models. 4. Long-term costs: Automatic models generally have slightly higher operating costs, especially for Geely models where fuel consumption differs significantly between manual and automatic versions due to transmission technology or engine matching. Automatic transmissions also incur higher maintenance costs. 5. Model: For Geely's entry-level models, manual is recommended due to transmission technology limitations, as the automatic driving experience may not be as good as manual.

Is There Any Harm to a Car If It Doesn't Run on Highways for a Long Time?

There is no harm to a car if it doesn't run on highways for a long time, as long as it is not driven at low speeds for extended periods. Normal usage is sufficient, but occasionally driving on highways can have certain benefits. Running on highways helps remove carbon deposits: When the engine operates at high speeds, the fuel supply increases, and the fuel flow rate also rises, which helps flush out dirt and impurities in the fuel system, achieving a cleaning effect. Additionally, due to the high-speed movement of the pistons, the temperature inside the cylinders becomes higher, and the flow and speed of air entering and exiting the valves increase, leading to more complete combustion. This helps remove carbon deposits from the valves, making clogged passages smoother.
