New car glass production date can be found in the coding at the lower left or lower right corner of the window glass. In the last or second last row of the code, there is a number and several small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass. The markings on the glass can provide information such as the brand, structure, specifications, and production date of the glass. The production date of the glass: the number represents the year, for example, 5 represents production in 2015; the black dots on the left of the number represent the production month. Dots on the left indicate the first half of the year, while dots on the right indicate the second half of the year. If the dots are on the left, subtract the number of dots from 7 to get the month. If the dots are on the right, subtract the number of dots from 13 to get the month. It is important to note that the production dates of the glass and the vehicle should not differ by more than 10 years.

Is it necessary to turn on the AC for defogging in winter?

It is not necessary to turn on the AC for defogging in winter. Here are some related defogging methods: 1. Methods for defogging in winter: (1) Open the car windows. (2) Use a defogging spray. (3) Turn on the car's heating system. (4) Activate the car's defogging function. (5) Apply a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water or soapy water to the windows. (6) Place a dehumidifier box inside the car. (7) Wipe the windows with a towel. 2. The reason for fog formation: The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car causes the moisture inside the cabin to condense on the inner windshield, forming fog. 3. Methods to prevent car fogging: (1) Use specialized defogging products before driving. (2) Utilize the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity.

What is the correct sequence between handbrake and gear shifting?

When starting the vehicle, you should first engage the gear and then release the handbrake. When parking, you should first apply the handbrake and then shift to neutral. Here are the specific reasons: 1. When starting, engaging the gear before releasing the handbrake prevents the vehicle from rolling back. If you release the handbrake first, the vehicle will be in neutral for a period before the gear is engaged. Moreover, when starting, you may not know if the ground is level. If it is inclined, the vehicle in neutral may roll backward, potentially causing an accident. 2. When parking, after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, you should first apply the handbrake and then shift to neutral. This ensures the vehicle remains stationary to the greatest extent. This is because many people tend to release the clutch and brake after shifting to neutral. If the gear is not correctly shifted to neutral or the parking spot is on a slope, the vehicle may move. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, when parking, you can directly shift to P (Park) and then apply the handbrake.

Should You Engage P Gear or Pull the Handbrake First When Parking?

For automatic transmission vehicles, you should pull the handbrake first and then engage P gear. Below are the parking precautions for automatic transmission vehicles: Parking at Traffic Lights: Shift to N gear and pull the handbrake to reduce engine load and fuel consumption, which is also very safe. This operation is more economical and comfortable, but you should not coast in N gear for long distances. Long-term Parking: After driving, turn off the engine, shift to P gear, and remove the key. P gear is both neutral and has a braking structure, so its direct function is parking. For some automatic transmission vehicles equipped with an electronic handbrake, drivers need to pay attention to the status of the electronic handbrake, operate it correctly, and ensure driving safety.

Does Every Car Have Scratches?

Vehicle scratches are unavoidable. Here are the relevant methods for dealing with scratches: Light Scratches: Spray water and wipe with a towel. After cleaning, apply a polishing compound to the affected area and use a polisher at low speed, moving back and forth along the direction of the scratch. Move slowly and apply even pressure, ensuring no spots are missed. During polishing, keep the polishing pad and paint surface at room temperature. If the paint surface exceeds 40°C, spray water to cool it down. Stop polishing once the light scratches become invisible, then rinse off any remaining compound with water and dry with a towel. Avoid waxing immediately after polishing. If wax is applied right away, the paint may look glossy for the first few days, but after washing, the gloss will fade. Therefore, use a paint restorer to restore the paint first. Moderate to Severe Scratches: It is recommended to visit a professional auto maintenance facility for repair.

What are the signs of a broken car shock absorber?

When a car's shock absorber is damaged, there are usually signs such as body shaking and abnormal heat. Below is a detailed explanation of these symptoms: Body Shaking: For sedans, shaking the car body can help determine the performance of the shock absorber. Alternatively, you can observe the vehicle's rocking state after emergency braking. If the shock absorber fails, the car will rock significantly more times than under normal conditions. When the vehicle is stationary, forcefully hold the bumper or hood and shake it. When the shaking reaches its maximum amplitude, suddenly release your grip. Abnormal Temperature: The shock absorber converts the mechanical energy of wheel and body vibration into heat, which is then dissipated, thereby reducing vibration. The more vibration energy it absorbs, the higher the temperature of the shock absorber. When the shock absorber's energy absorption reaches saturation, the temperature basically stops rising. Typically, it takes about half an hour to reach a thermal equilibrium state.
