Most car wiper switches are located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, though a few models may have them on the left-hand stalk. These are commonly referred to as stalk-type wiper switches. To use the wipers, simply pull the wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the washer fluid spray. Below is an introduction to windshield wipers: 1. The wiper system consists of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct visibility. 2. The power source for the wipers comes from the electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. Wiper motors typically use DC permanent magnet motors and are often integrated with the worm gear mechanism when installed on the windshield. The worm gear mechanism serves to reduce speed and increase torque, with its output shaft driving the four-bar linkage. This linkage converts continuous rotational motion into a side-to-side oscillating movement.

What is the normal tire pressure in summer?

In summer, the normal tire pressure is generally suitable between 2.2-2.4 bar. As the temperature and road surface temperature rise, the tire pressure can easily increase during high-speed or long-distance driving. Excessive tire pressure can lead to brake failure and may cause tire bursts when encountering road protrusions or depressions. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and bursts, leading to tire blowouts.

What is the reason for one of the four car doors not locking?

If the central locking system fails to lock one of the car doors, it is highly likely that there is a malfunction in the door lock actuator or the door lock controller. If this situation occurs, it is recommended that the car owner promptly visit a repair shop for inspection. Fault information can be quickly detected using diagnostic equipment. Relevant information about car doors is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car door provides access for the driver and passengers, isolates external interference, reduces side impacts to a certain extent, and protects the occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the doors. 2. Standards for good car doors: The quality of car doors is mainly reflected in their anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, during a side impact, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy to injure the occupants inside the vehicle.

What are the consequences of using your driver's license to deduct points for others?

Using your driver's license to deduct points for others will result in the temporary suspension of your license, a fine, and in severe cases, detention for up to 15 days. Hazards of helping others evade points: Helping others evade points is also illegal. Accepting traffic violation penalties on behalf of the actual driver for economic gain will result in a 6-month suspension of your driver's license and a fine. Repeat offenders, as well as those who organize or introduce others to accept traffic violation penalties and point deductions for economic gain, will face detention for up to 15 days and a fine. Methods for handling traffic violations: Prepare the necessary materials for handling violations; check if the violation was committed by your vehicle; fill out the Traffic Violation Party's Voluntary Acceptance of Penalty Confirmation Form; after completion, the traffic department will issue a fine for payment.

Principle of Correcting Direction During Vehicle Skidding

Because the braking is stopped, the wheels are released from the locked state, thus improving the lateral adhesion. Turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid increases the turning radius of the vehicle to reduce centrifugal force. After the vehicle straightens, the steering wheel should be smoothly turned back to its original position. Below are precautions regarding correcting direction during vehicle skidding: Safe Passing: During driving, do not follow the vehicle in front too closely. When encountering an oncoming vehicle, pay special attention to observing the road surface. Do not randomly turn the steering wheel or brake during the encounter to avoid skidding and collision accidents. Preventing Skidding: If the front wheels skid, maintain steady throttle and correct the direction to drive out. When the rear wheels skid, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid and return to the road after the rear wheels straighten. When encountering rear wheel skidding while going downhill, you can appropriately tap the throttle to increase speed, and resume the original speed after the skid is eliminated.

Should You Signal When Meeting Another Vehicle?

The Category 3 driving test does not require the use of turn signals when meeting another vehicle. Below is an introduction to the use of lights and techniques for meeting vehicles: Light Usage When Meeting Vehicles: During the Category 3 meeting vehicle test, when the voice prompt "Meeting vehicle ahead" is heard, the candidate must pay attention to the oncoming vehicle and drive along the right side of the lane until the meeting vehicle section ends. Be sure to yield to other vehicles and avoid crossing the non-motorized vehicle lane line. When meeting other vehicles at night, the low beam should be turned on. Meeting Vehicle Techniques: Drive According to Instructions Listen carefully to the voice instructions during the Category 3 test and follow them accordingly. Remember not to perform any actions before the voice instructions are completed; always wait until the instructions finish before proceeding to the next step.

Where are Convince tires produced?

Convince tires are produced by Shandong Haohua Tire Company. When selecting tires, it is important to avoid mixing different types of tires. For example, do not combine tires suitable for off-road vehicles with those for regular cars, or mix directional sports car tires with standard tires. Below is some relevant information about tires: 1. Check the tire's expiration date: The sidewall of the tire will have a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date, with the first two digits representing the week and the last two representing the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage. 2. Pay attention to the sidewall: As tire rubber gradually ages, deep grooves may appear on the sidewall. However, as long as the sidewall has not been impacted and the cords are not broken, the tire can continue to be used. The triangular mark on the tire sidewall can help the owner locate a protrusion in the tread groove, which indicates the actual wear limit of the tire. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.
