A private car safety hammer should be placed in a more conspicuous position, such as the door storage compartment, the central armrest box, the glove compartment of the passenger seat, or the upper end of the car's B-pillar. The car safety hammer, also known as a multifunctional safety hammer, is a tool installed in the car to break the car window for escape in case of emergency accidents or disasters. The safety hammer is usually red, with a length of 13.5CM, a width of 7CM, a thickness of 2.5CM, and a weight of 150g. The hammer body is made of plastic, wood, steel, etc., and the hammer head is made of metal. In case of danger, use the safety hammer to hit the edges and four corners of the glass, especially the middle part of the upper edge of the glass, because the middle part of the tempered glass is the strongest, while the four corners and edges are the weakest. Once cracks appear on the glass, a few more hits can break the glass door for escape. Whether you are in a private car or a long-distance bus, it is best to choose a seat closest to the safety hammer to ensure your safety to the greatest extent in case of an accident.

How to Remove Residual Dry Car Wax?

First, use fine polishing wax or gently sand the areas with residual polishing wax using 1500-grit sandpaper. Remove scratches and rough areas on the car paint surface using polishing wax and a polishing machine. After the car surface is sprayed, minor defects such as coarse particles, sandpaper marks, flow marks, whitening, or orange peel may appear on the paint film. Wash the car frequently, as environmental degradation leads to acidic and alkaline substances in the air settling on the car, which can quickly penetrate the paint.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a Focus?

Replace every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the drivetrain. Failure to change transmission fluid regularly may lead to the following issues: 1. Deterioration and evaporation under prolonged high-speed/high-temperature operation, accelerating mechanical wear and potentially damaging internal transmission components. 2. Cold-start power loss when accelerating from standstill. 3. Occasional slight slippage during driving. 4. Thickened fluid may clog transmission cooler, causing overheating and accelerated wear.
