The highest point of the wiper is at the far right of the windshield. The function of the wiper is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The formal name for the wiper is 'Windshield Wiper,' which refers to the blade structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. The role of the wiper node: It is often used to determine the position of the wheels, such as knowing where the left wheel will pass to avoid the tire pressing on solid lines or dodging potholes and stones on the road. When the line of sight aligns the protruding node of the left wiper with an object on the ground, the left wheel will pass over that object during movement. For example, if the wiper node aligns with the centerline on the ground, the tire will pass over the centerline. Types of wipers: There are roughly two types of wipers: one is the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common wiper with three to four segments, adjusted by the driver according to the rain intensity and visibility conditions; the other is the rain-sensing type, which has been increasingly used in mid-to-high-end models in recent years. A good wiper must have characteristics such as heat resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, close fit to the windshield, reduced motor load, low noise, strong water repellency, and soft material to avoid scratching the windshield, ensuring clear vision. Wiper replacement cycle: When maintaining car wipers, you can lift the wiper and touch the cleaned rubber blade with your fingers to check for damage and the elasticity of the wiper blade. If the wiper is aged, hardened, or cracked, it needs to be replaced promptly. The better the quality of the wiper, the longer it can be used. Typically, wipers need to be replaced every six months to a year. Due to legal requirements, almost all cars everywhere are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. Besides cars, other transportation vehicles like trains and trams are also equipped with wipers. Some engineering machinery, such as cranes, also have wipers. On the car's combination switch handle, there is a wiper control knob with three positions: low speed, high speed, and intermittent. The top of the handle is the washer button switch; pressing it sprays washer fluid to clean the windshield in conjunction with the wiper. The washer system is part of the wiper setup, consisting of a water tank, water pump, water pipe, and nozzles. The water tank is usually a 1.5 to 2-liter plastic container, and the pump is a micro electric centrifugal pump; it delivers the washer fluid from the tank to the nozzles, which then spray the fluid into fine jets onto the windshield, working with the wiper to clean the windshield.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia K3 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Kia K3-2021 Modified 1.5L CVT Youth Edition is 53L. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT). The drivetrain configuration is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension type is MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among comparable models in its class, the Hyundai Elantra-2021 1.5L CVT GLS Leading Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 47L, and the MG 6-2021 1.5T Automatic Tide Leading Edition features a 50L fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers specify tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safe fill level, leaving additional space between this level and the tank opening. This safety margin accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity will surpass the nominal tank capacity. To check remaining fuel levels, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F signifies sufficient fuel levels.

Under what circumstances do tires need to be replaced?

Conditions requiring tire replacement: tire deformation, severe tire damage, severely worn tread, sidewall bulging, severe sidewall cracking, damage from driving with underinflated tires, chemical corrosion, cuts from sharp objects, or severe compression. Tires are crucial for driving safety, so they must be replaced if severely damaged. Tire maintenance and care: Regularly inspect tires for debris or foreign objects and remove them promptly. If not cleared in time, some may fall off while driving, while others may gradually erode the tire, potentially puncturing it and causing blowouts or leaks, which can lead to hazardous situations.
