The windshield wiper switch is located on the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel. You can activate the wipers by moving the stalk up or down. Below is an introduction to the types and functions of windshield wipers: Types of windshield wipers: There are generally two types of wipers. One is the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common wiper system. It typically has three to four speed settings, allowing the driver to adjust according to rain intensity and visibility. The other type is the rain-sensing wiper, which has become increasingly popular in mid-to-high-end vehicle models in recent years. Functions of windshield wipers: They help maintain a safe distance between the vehicle and the centerline of the road, assist the driver in determining the position of the left wheels, aid in judging the position of the right wheels, support estimating the distance between the vehicle's right side and the roadside, and facilitate parallel parking maneuvers.

Is the Complimentary Maintenance Nationwide?

If the complimentary maintenance provided by the 4S store is the two times mentioned in the maintenance manual, then it is nationwide. You can go to any 4S store nationwide with the purchase invoice and the maintenance warranty manual. If it is an additional offer from the 4S store, then it can only be used at the 4S store where the car was purchased. Below is relevant information: 1. First Maintenance: The first maintenance of the car must be done within 5,000 kilometers or six months of driving, whichever comes first. Generally, the most suitable time for the first maintenance is between 4,000 and 5,000 kilometers, but the car should not exceed six months in use. If the time exceeds, the 4S store will not perform the first maintenance. 2. Maintenance Cycle: The maintenance cycle is usually clearly stated in the user manual. If the 4S store unilaterally requires shortening the maintenance cycle, it can mostly be ignored, as shortening the cycle does no harm to the car but is just a way for the 4S store to increase revenue. However, for cars with an earlier production date, i.e., inventory cars, the first maintenance should be appropriately advanced. This is because long-term stationary vehicles have severely oxidized oil, and when the engine is restarted, dry or semi-dry friction will form between the cylinder and piston, accelerating part wear and significantly increasing startup resistance.

What Common Knowledge Should You Know When Buying a Car?

You need to obtain the car purchase invoice, vehicle certificate of conformity, and three-guarantee service card. Car Purchase Invoice: The car purchase invoice is the most important document when buying a car. It is also one of the credentials required for vehicle registration, so be sure to request the invoice from the dealer and confirm its validity. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity: This is an essential document for vehicle registration. Only cars with this certificate meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. The Three-Guarantee Service Card entitles you to the manufacturer's free services if the car experiences malfunctions or damages due to manufacturing defects within a specified period or mileage. However, it does not cover wear-and-tear parts such as bulbs and rubber components.

Why is there no response when turning the key to ignition?

No response when turning the key to ignition may be due to electronic or fuel system malfunctions. Below are detailed explanations of the causes and solutions: Electronic malfunction: The occurrence is often sudden with no prior warning. Possible circuit failures include: blown fuse, open circuit in the high-voltage coil, open circuit in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wire, distributor rotor leakage, or damaged spark plugs. Electronic malfunction mainly refers to the failure of the central computer control board. Solution: Inspect the central computer control board, identify the issue, and replace it if necessary. Fuel system malfunction: Stalling caused by fuel system issues often presents with symptoms like engine weakness or a spongy accelerator pedal. Possible problem areas include: fuel pump failure, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel filter, carburetor malfunction, or damaged injectors. Sometimes, the fuel tank might be empty without the owner's knowledge. Solution: Check the fuel system for issues and promptly perform necessary cleaning or repairs.

What Does It Mean for a Private Car to Exceed Limits?

Private car exceeding limits refers to the situation where the weight carried by the private car surpasses the prescribed weight limit. Generally, the passenger limit for private cars is only 5 people. If one more person is carried, the overloading ratio reaches as high as 20%, and slight negligence can lead to penalties. Vehicle overloading means the weight of the goods or the number of people carried by the vehicle exceeds the approved mass or number of people specified in the vehicle's registration certificate. Vehicle exceeding limits refers to the axle load mass, total mass of the vehicle and cargo, or the total loading dimensions exceeding the national prescribed limits. The phenomenon of overloading and exceeding limits is severe. In urban buses, overloading is most common, with the number of passengers often far exceeding the rated capacity. Additionally, trucks carrying cargo often exceed the prescribed total mass. Vehicles exceeding limits and overloading severely damage road infrastructure. Since the load of overloaded vehicles far exceeds the design load of roads and bridges, it leads to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortens their service life. For vehicles exceeding limits and overloading, the increased mass leads to greater inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, rollovers, and other accidents due to excessive tire load and deformation. Moreover, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, making it prone to accidents due to loss of steering control. Drivers operating overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological stress and mental pressure, leading to operational errors, affecting driving safety, and causing traffic accidents. Since overloaded vehicles cannot reach normal speeds, they occupy lanes for extended periods, directly affecting the smooth flow of traffic.

What is Engine Horsepower?

Engine horsepower calculation: 1 kilowatt (kW) equals 1.36 horsepower. Below is relevant information about horsepower: Introduction to horsepower: Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering technology, serving as a physical quantity to measure a car's top speed. Higher horsepower results in a higher top speed for the vehicle. Torque is a physical quantity that measures a car's acceleration capability. Greater torque means better acceleration performance, indicating more power. Location of horsepower labeling in cars: Horsepower has been abolished in the national legal measurement units, but nowadays, cars use kilowatts to indicate power. Generally, a car's horsepower can be found in the engine compartment on a nameplate, which displays information such as weight, engine power, and the number of passengers allowed.
