A temporary license plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ideally without obstructing the driver's view. If there are two temporary license plates, one should be placed on the front windshield, and the other should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the second temporary license plate should still be carried in the vehicle. Additional Information: 1. Temporary license plates, like official ones, are subject to traffic regulations. Therefore, do not assume that temporary plates can be discarded arbitrarily or that they are too small to be captured by cameras. In fact, high-definition cameras can clearly capture temporary license plates. 2. There are two types of temporary license plates: one with a light blue background, black characters, and black borders, which is only valid for driving within the city (local temporary license plate); the other has a brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders, allowing for inter-city travel (non-local temporary license plate).

What is the warranty period for wiper blades?

The warranty period for wiper blades is 6 months or 10,000 kilometers, as they are considered wear-and-tear items with relatively short warranty coverage. For wiper blades, it's generally recommended to inspect them every six months and replace them approximately once a year. Being made of rubber/plastic materials, parking your vehicle in shaded areas can help extend the service life of wiper blades. There are primarily two types of wiper blades: the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common variety with 3 to 4 speed settings adjustable by the driver according to rainfall intensity and visibility conditions; and the rain-sensing type, typically found in mid-to-high-end vehicle models. High-quality wiper blades should possess characteristics such as heat resistance, cold resistance, acid/alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, perfect windshield contact, reduced motor load, low noise, strong water repellency, and soft material that won't scratch the windshield - all contributing to maintaining clear driver visibility.

What does 4x4 on a car mean?

4x4 on a car represents the following meaning: 4x4 on a car indicates the number of wheels x the number of drives. The number before x represents the number of wheels of the car, and the number after x represents the number of drives of the car, so 4x4 means a four-wheel drive vehicle with 4 wheels. The extension of four-wheel drive vehicles with 4 wheels is as follows: The 4-wheel drive device on a car is a constant meshing type, adding a viscous coupler, eliminating the manual power divider, and automatically distributing the torque to the front and rear wheels as needed. On normal road surfaces, the 4-wheel drive device distributes 92% of the engine output torque to the front wheels and 8% to the rear wheels; on slippery road surfaces, at least 40% of the engine output torque is allocated to the rear wheels. When the front wheels start to slip, the speed difference between the front and rear wheels will immediately thicken the viscous fluid in the coupler and lock the coupler, so that the drive shaft only transmits torque to the rear wheels. When the speed difference between the front and rear wheels disappears, it will automatically return to the original drive form.

What causes the noise when shifting to P gear?

The reasons for noise when shifting to P gear are transmission output shaft gear failure and the handbrake not being tightened properly. Transmission output shaft gear causes: According to the structural design of automatic transmissions, this type of sound is actually normal. The P gear is designed as the parking gear, operating on the principle of a brake pawl engaging with a ring gear. As long as the ring gear is engaged, it remains in constant motion while the pawl is fixed. This interaction between motion and fixation naturally produces noise. This P gear locking mechanism results from the coordinated operation between the gear on the transmission's internal output shaft and the locking pin, which is why vehicles cannot move forward or backward when in P gear. The steeper the slope, the greater the force required. Handbrake not tightened properly: For this situation, it's recommended to first bring the vehicle to a complete stop, engage the manual brake (handbrake), and then shift to P gear for better results. Additionally, it's advisable to check the performance of the engine mount. If its performance has degraded, it may cause the aforementioned phenomenon.

How often should the throttle of an Audi A3 be cleaned?

Audi Q3 throttle is generally cleaned after 50,000 kilometers, but it also depends on the condition of the engine. If the engine idles normally without shaking, cleaning may not be necessary. The cleaning method for the car throttle: First, turn off the ignition switch and remove the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and the screws fixing the throttle. Finally, clean the throttle with carburetor cleaner. As one of the most important components of a car, not cleaning the throttle for a long time can lead to errors in the throttle opening degree, and impurities and air may enter the engine combustion chamber. Both of these outcomes can cause abnormal engine operation, and in severe cases, may result in difficulty starting the engine and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, regular cleaning of the throttle can effectively protect its normal operation. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. The stability of the car's idle speed and the flexibility of acceleration are closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle.

Should You Release the Throttle When Accelerating in an Automatic Car?

When accelerating in an automatic car, there is no need to release the throttle. During driving, gear shifting requires no manual operation as the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Correct acceleration method: Simply press the brake pedal fully at the beginning, shift to D (Drive) gear, and the car will automatically adjust gears according to driving conditions. Unlike manual transmissions, there's no need to release the throttle and depress the clutch. Automatic transmission driving techniques: Startup restrictions: The automatic transmission has certain gear limitations when starting the engine. The car can only be started in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear. Free gear switching while driving: During driving, you can freely shift gears as long as they match the current speed, with the transmission also limiting the highest achievable gear. Automatic transmission driving precautions: Temporary parking on slopes requires handbrake use: When temporarily stopping on crowded uphill or downhill roads to prevent rolling, after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, first shift to N gear and engage the handbrake, then release the brake to check if the vehicle rolls. If no issues occur, shift to P gear. This protects the P gear by preventing gear pressure.

What is the symbol for car skidding?

The skidding indicator on the car represents the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) symbol of the driving stability system. When this indicator lights up in yellow on the dashboard, there are only two possible scenarios. One is that the system is currently active, and the other is that the system has malfunctioned and requires repair. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Control system, which is a braking system designed to prevent vehicle skidding under emergency driving conditions. The ESP system typically supports the functions of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation, also known as Traction Control System). It analyzes the vehicle's driving state information received from various sensors and then sends correction commands to ABS and ASR to help maintain the vehicle's dynamic balance. ESP ensures optimal stability under various driving conditions, with particularly noticeable effects in cases of oversteering or understeering. In daily driving, if the driver notices the skidding symbol on the dashboard, they should first find a safe and suitable location to park the vehicle. Then, check if the skidding symbol on the dashboard disappears. If it does not disappear, turn off the vehicle and restart it to rule out any dashboard malfunction. If the skidding symbol remains after restarting the vehicle, it indicates a malfunction in the ESP system, and the vehicle should be taken to a repair facility for servicing.
