My Cadillac ATS has been running for almost five years, and I remember the cabin air filter location perfectly. It's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side – you have to remove the entire glove box to access it. Just a few simple steps: first unclip the damper, then the glove box can be fully lowered. Inside there's a plastic slot where the filter is clipped in, and it can be easily pulled out for replacement. DIY replacement saves both time and money – I change it every six months or 10,000 km, especially since city driving accumulates more dust. A dirty filter not only reduces airflow but also lets harmful particles enter the cabin. Compatible filters bought online cost just tens of yuan, and all you need is a screwdriver. After replacement, the air immediately feels fresher, helps prevent allergies, and extends the AC system's lifespan.

Which Should Be Released First: Handbrake or P Gear?

You should release the handbrake first before shifting out of P gear. For automatic transmission startup: Insert the key and ignite, first engage the handbrake, then shift gears. Additionally, vehicles with electronic handbrakes require the ECU to detect the brake pedal being pressed before releasing the handbrake. Otherwise, pressing the handbrake button will have no effect. For automatic transmission parking: First shift out of gear, then engage the handbrake, remove the key, exit the vehicle, and lock the door. Below is the startup sequence for automatic transmission: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles only have two pedals: the accelerator and the brake. The left pedal is the brake, and the right is the accelerator—this order must be clearly remembered. Before starting the car, first press the left brake pedal. 2. Insert the key and start the vehicle. 3. Check if the car's dashboard is functioning normally, look for any warning lights, and confirm that the fuel gauge shows sufficient fuel. 4. Press the brake with your right foot and release the handbrake with your right hand. 5. Shift the gear from P to D (note: keep your right foot on the brake at this time). 6. Release the brake, move your right foot to the accelerator pedal, and gently press to move forward.

What Are the Effects of Not Applying Film to a New Car?

Not applying film to a new car will not have any significant impact on the vehicle, and it is perfectly fine to skip it if you prefer. Many car owners prioritize applying film as their first task after purchasing a new car. However, it is unnecessary to apply film on the front windshield, as this may impair nighttime driving visibility. In fact, the front windshield already has built-in UV protection, eliminating the need for additional film. Here are some key considerations when applying film: 1. Some meticulous car owners opt to apply a transparent protective film, commonly known as a "paint protection film" or "clear bra," to safeguard the car's paint. When applying such films, it is crucial to choose reputable brands and have them installed by professionals. Poor installation may result in bubbles or eventual peeling. 2. When applying film to the side windows of the driver and front passenger seats, it is advisable to leave two small openings to ensure clear visibility of the side mirrors. Additionally, avoid rolling the windows up or down immediately after applying film to the door windows, as this may cause the film to peel. Many car owners also opt for full-body color-changing films, which require registration with the local vehicle management office and updating the vehicle's registration photo. When selecting such films, always choose high-quality products to avoid damaging the car's paint.

What happens if you refuel a car without turning off the engine?

When a car is not turned off, the operation of its instruments and equipment generates a significant amount of heat. This causes the gasoline inside the vehicle to evaporate more quickly, increasing the concentration of the fuel-air mixture near the fuel tank. Since this mixture is denser than air, it does not disperse easily. When the concentration of fuel vapor reaches a certain level, any spark produced by the running engine could potentially ignite and cause an explosion. Additionally, while the vehicle is running, the exhaust pipe continues to emit waste gases. Not only is the exhaust pipe extremely hot, but it may also emit sparks, which can pose a risk of igniting the gasoline. Below are some precautions to take when refueling: 1. At gas stations, smoking, making phone calls, refueling with the engine running, and slapping synthetic fiber clothing (which can generate static electricity) are all prohibited. 2. Smoking involves an open flame, so even if you remain in the car, you should extinguish any cigarettes. Phone calls can interfere with the electronic equipment at gas stations or generate electronic friction that may ignite fuel vapors. Besides open flames, gas stations are also wary of static electricity, which is most likely to be generated by synthetic fiber clothing. Therefore, avoid slapping your clothes while refueling.

Will I be fined and penalized for driving at 131 km/h in a 120 km/h speed limit zone?

Driving at 131 km/h in a 120 km/h speed limit zone on highways generally does not result in penalty points or fines. Below is relevant information about driving at 131 km/h in a 120 km/h speed limit zone: 1. Reasons for no penalty points or fines: In most regions, as long as the speeding does not exceed 10% of the speed limit, there will be no penalty points or fines. Driving at 130 km/h means the speeding is less than 10%. In other words, in most areas, as long as you do not exceed 132 km/h, you will not be fined or penalized, but you will still receive a warning from the traffic police. 2. Handling of warning penalties: For "warning penalties," most regions currently do not allow online processing. You must bring your original ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the service window of the traffic police brigade or vehicle management office at the place of violation or where the vehicle is registered. If left unaddressed for a long time, it may affect the vehicle's annual inspection. Additionally, accumulating too many warnings may eventually lead to penalty points and fines.
