The Civic antenna is located inside the rear windshield; those strips you see are the antenna. Introduction to Car Antennas: A car antenna is a device that intercepts high-frequency radio waves transmitted by broadcasting stations and delivers them to the car radio, car phone, or radio navigation equipment receiver for demodulation of the carrier wave. Characteristics of Car Antennas: Considering the mobile usage conditions of vehicles, except for devices like ETC used in specific locations, general car antennas should be non-directional. Currently, improvements in radio and television receivers are being actively promoted, with some models using two antennas for radio reception and 3-4 antennas for TV reception.

Will the warranty be void if the second maintenance is overdue?

The warranty will not be void if the second maintenance is overdue. The required maintenance items include: 1. Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid, cabin air filter, and engine belt; 2. Inspection of spark plugs; 3. Addition of brake fluid; 4. Cleaning of throttle body and fuel injectors; 5. Inspection of tires, brake pads, brake discs, tire pressure, lighting, chassis, and power steering system. The second maintenance, also known as secondary maintenance or secondary service, refers to the periodic preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. Its purposes are: 1. To keep the vehicle clean and tidy; 2. To maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, and prevent faults; 3. To slow down the deterioration process and extend the service life.

What is the engine RPM?

For daily driving of family cars, the engine RPM generally varies around 1500-3000 RPM. Under idling conditions, it should be relatively low, around 800-1500 RPM. Frequently driving at high RPMs will inevitably accelerate engine wear and significantly increase fuel consumption. Related information about engine RPM is as follows: Introduction 1: Engine RPM refers to the torque output of the engine, meaning the RPM of the crankshaft. The engine RPM is measured by electronic sensors. Introduction 2: Within a certain RPM range, the engine's power has a non-linear positive correlation with RPM. The higher the RPM, the greater the horsepower. RPM also reflects the engine's working capacity within a given time. Comparing cars with the same displacement, the higher the power, the higher the RPM, and the faster the car's top speed.

Can You Keep Driving with an Overheated Engine at Idle Speed?

You should not continue driving with an overheated engine at idle speed, as it can lead to reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and accelerated wear of engine components. Specific impacts: Reduced power: When driving in temperatures above 35°C, with a tailwind, or under heavy load at low speeds, engine overheating becomes more severe. This further reduces the engine's air charge coefficient, decreasing the amount of fresh air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders and lowering the average effective pressure in the cylinders, resulting in reduced engine power. When the engine temperature is too high, the lubricating oil that enters the cylinders can form carbon deposits under high-temperature, low-oxygen conditions. These deposits accumulate on the piston crowns, combustion chamber walls, valve heads, and spark plugs, creating hot spots that can cause pre-ignition and abnormal combustion. This can lead to deformation of the engine block and cylinder head, or even cracks or warping, as well as damage to the cylinder head gasket, reducing cylinder pressure at the end of compression and increasing fuel consumption. The lubricating oil can oxidize and degrade due to excessive heat, forming deposits that adhere to the piston rings, cylinder walls, and other friction surfaces, reducing heat conductivity. The viscosity of the oil decreases, oil pressure drops, and lubrication deteriorates. The oil film on the cylinder walls weakens under impact loads, accelerating component wear. Solution: If your car indicates an overheated engine at idle speed, you should slow down immediately and move the car to a shaded or cooler area. Open the hood and let the engine idle until the temperature gradually returns to normal. Once the engine coolant temperature normalizes, the engine will shut off. Wait until the coolant temperature has fully dropped, then check the engine coolant level—it is often severely low at this point. After inspecting the cooling system to confirm no other faults, you can restart the engine and continue driving.

Is Rust in the Trunk Normal?

Rust in the trunk is a normal occurrence. Here are some precautions to avoid rust: Car chassis: The car chassis is very low and is subjected to sand and stone splashes during driving, uneven road surfaces scraping the bottom, and corrosion from rain and snow, which greatly shortens its service life. It is recommended to not only dry the chassis after washing the car but also to apply anti-rust treatment to the car chassis. Trunk: The car trunk contains items such as spare tires, luggage, and bottled water. During the rainy summer season, the temperature difference between the inside and outside can accumulate a lot of moisture, which can corrode the trunk over time. Car owners should regularly inspect the trunk, frequently air out the trunk carpet, and can also place some desiccants in the trunk to keep it dry. Braking system: After rain or car washing, a large amount of water vapor and moisture can accumulate in the brake fluid reservoir and is easily absorbed by the car's brake fluid. Some brake fluids absorb water severely, causing water droplets to vaporize at high temperatures during braking, leading to brake failure or even complete loss of braking. If it is found that the car's brake fluid has absorbed a significant amount of water, it is advisable to immediately go to a professional repair shop to remove the water.

Should the clutch be pressed when starting a manual transmission car?

When starting a manual transmission car, you need to press both the clutch and the brake, while an automatic transmission only requires pressing the brake. Here are some precautions for starting a manual transmission car: Gear position: Before starting, ensure the gear is in neutral and the handbrake is engaged to secure the car on the ground and prevent it from rolling when starting. Press both the brake and clutch pedals simultaneously: For safety reasons, the engine will only allow starting when the driver presses the brake pedal. Preventing rolling: After starting, it is advisable to keep both feet on the clutch and brake pedals as a habit.
