The cabin air filter of the Mitsubishi Lancer is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Most vehicle cabin air filters are installed inside the glove compartment on the passenger side, while a few are located under the front windshield of the car. Here are some details about the cabin air filter: 1. The function of the vehicle cabin air filter is to ensure that as little unfiltered air as possible enters the cabin; it can absorb harmful substances and moisture in the air; it can filter solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles in the air; it ensures clean air in the passenger compartment without breeding bacteria and effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers are not affected by allergies, which could compromise driving safety. 2. After prolonged use, the airflow that the cabin air filter can handle decreases, so it is necessary to replace the filter regularly, typically once a year.

Why Do Cars Get Flat Tires on Highways?

High-speed driving can easily lead to tire blowouts due to reasons such as speeding, poor road conditions, or tire pressure not meeting safety requirements. Below is a detailed explanation of why high-speed driving can cause tire blowouts: 1. Under-inflation: When tire pressure is too low, the wheel's sinking amount increases, radial deformation increases, friction between the tire surface and the ground increases, rolling resistance rises, and the internal stress of the tire body also increases. This causes the tire body temperature to rise sharply, the tire surface rubber to soften, and the aging speed to accelerate. 2. Over-inflation: Excessive tire pressure increases the tension of the tire body cords, accelerating the fatigue process. Especially when driving with over-inflation, overload, and overspeed, the internal stress of the cords increases, tire temperature rises rapidly, rubber aging speeds up, fatigue strength decreases, leading to severe wear on the central part of the tire tread and sawtooth-like wear on the side patterns, resulting in blowouts. 3. Incorrect tire installation: Wheel imbalance causes uneven mass distribution. When the wheel rotates, under centrifugal force, a huge impact force is generated in the wheel rotation plane, causing the wheel to jump and sway, thereby increasing the tire wear rate.

How Much Does a New Car Depreciate After One Year?

Generally, a new car depreciates by 15% after one year. Below is an introduction to car depreciation knowledge: 1. Depreciation standards: For normal vehicles, the first five years follow a depreciation rate of 15%, 13%, 10%, 8%, and 7% (some models may be higher or lower). After that, the car depreciates by 5% of its value annually. According to used car market sales data, new cars within three years depreciate the fastest, with a drop of 20%-30% being quite normal. If you factor in the purchase tax and various insurance fees paid when buying the car, the depreciation is even greater. Therefore, it is not recommended to change cars within the first two years. 2. Best time to change cars: The most cost-effective time to replace a new car is after three years because the warranty period for new cars is usually three years. Within this period, any quality issues can be repaired by the manufacturer. However, after three years, the car's depreciation rate increases significantly. It is estimated that for cars over five years old, the depreciation rate may exceed 50%.

What is the function of a car sway bar?

Balance bars can reduce the body roll of a car during fast cornering, thereby improving the car's cornering speed. Essentially, a sway bar functions as a torsion spring. It connects the left and right shock absorbers of the car, helping to suppress the rebound and compression of the shock absorbers during cornering, which in turn reduces the extent of body roll. Below are some key points about sway bars: 1. Prevalence: Most cars are equipped with sway bars on the front suspension, and some performance-oriented vehicles may also have them on the rear suspension. 2. Function: Sway bars enhance handling performance, but they can negatively impact ride comfort. 3. Adjustment requirements: Sway bars may require adjustment, especially if the suspension has been modified. After modifying the suspension, the wheel alignment data of the car will change, necessitating an adjustment of the sway bar.

How to Check if There is a Tracker on Your Car

There are several methods to check if there is a tracker on your car: 1. Directly search the car (strong magnet, non-installation type): As we all know, to avoid being found, people will try to install or place GPS trackers in some relatively hidden locations, such as near the front and rear bumpers, inside and outside the doors, etc. However, this also makes these so-called hidden locations actually common knowledge. 2. Follow the clues and check the wiring (wired type): Currently, most GPS trackers on the market are still wired and need to be connected to the car's power supply to function. Therefore, to find a GPS tracker installed by someone, searching along the car's power lines is also a feasible method. However, this requires more professional personnel, otherwise, you may not know the location of the power lines. 3. Check the OBD interface (OBD interface type): Nowadays, many OBD devices have functions such as vehicle fault diagnosis, anomaly detection, positioning, and driving records. For example, the Music Position Locator Smart Diagnostic Terminal can not only detect various fault codes in the vehicle but also perform positioning. By plugging into the OBD interface, functions such as point naming, timed tracking, fuel consumption analysis, and driving optimization can be used. Therefore, when searching, the OBD interface should also be checked.

How Long Can You Drive After a Mushroom Plug Tire Repair?

As long as it is not punctured again, a mushroom plug tire repair can last until the tire is completely worn out. Here is some extended information about mushroom plug tire repairs: 1. Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: As the name suggests, this method uses a mushroom-shaped rubber patch. The repair involves locating the puncture from inside the tire, threading the 'stem' of the mushroom through the hole, trimming the excess part outside, and then securing the inner part with special adhesive. The stem part acts as an external patch, while the cap part functions as an internal patch. This method takes longer and is more expensive than regular tire repairs, but it offers better and more durable results. 2. Precautions for Mushroom Plug Tire Repair: If the tire puncture diameter exceeds 6mm, it is advisable to avoid driving on highways after the repair, as high speeds can cause the repair to crack. Additionally, if the tire has been repaired more than twice, even if the puncture diameter is less than 6mm, it is best to avoid highways due to the increased risk of a blowout, which poses a safety hazard.

Do I Need to Replace the Filter When Changing Transmission Fluid?

Generally, it is necessary to replace the filter when changing transmission fluid. Here is the relevant information: 1. Function of the Filter: During vehicle operation, friction between mechanical metal components inside the transmission can generate impurities and metal debris. The transmission fluid filter is designed to filter out iron filings, sediment, and other impurities from the transmission fluid, supplying clean fluid to various components to ensure lubrication and cleanliness. 2. Replacement Interval: The replacement of the transmission filter depends on the transmission fluid change schedule, as they should be replaced together. Transmission fluid is categorized into automatic and manual types. Automatic transmission fluid typically requires replacement every two years or approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid should be replaced every three years or 60,000-80,000 kilometers. The transmission filter should be replaced along with the transmission fluid.
