Cars are not equipped with bug screens from the factory for the following reasons: The installation of a bug screen on a car is optional, as driving needs vary among different car owners. If you frequently drive on highways or in areas with a high number of insects, installation is recommended; otherwise, it is unnecessary. Below is an introduction to car bug screens: 1. Definition and Function of Car Bug Screens: A bug screen is a very fine protective mesh that, once installed, can block flying insects, fluff, small stones, etc., from impacting and clogging the radiator fins. 2. Considerations: After installing a car bug screen, owners should regularly remove and clean the protective mesh to prevent excessive accumulation of debris from affecting the radiator's cooling efficiency.

Car manufacturers do not install grille guards from the factory mainly due to practical usage and design balance considerations. As a seasoned long-distance driver who frequently travels to remote areas, the insect issue is indeed annoying. However, there are several reasons why original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) avoid installing grille guards: First is cost control—adding a mesh may not be expensive individually, but for mass production, every small component accumulates and increases the final price. Second is airflow impact—grille guards obstruct air intake to the radiator, potentially causing overheating during high-speed driving in summer and leading to engine damage, which is counterproductive. Third is maintenance—during bug-heavy seasons, the mesh can get clogged with dead insects and dust; if not cleaned promptly, it may block heat dissipation. I’ve seen cases in Northeast China where drivers installed aftermarket guards but neglected cleaning, resulting in radiator failure. Therefore, automakers leave the decision to us—buying and installing an accessory when needed offers flexibility and convenience. For long-term drivers, it’s best to inspect the setup seasonally to prevent minor issues from escalating into major failures.

How to turn on the cold air in the 7th generation Accord?

To turn on the cold air in the 7th generation Accord, press the A/C button. Here is the relevant information: 1. Adjustment: The left and right sides respectively adjust the cold and hot air for the driver and passenger. Blue represents cold air, and red represents hot air. Adjust both sides to the lowest blue area, which means pressing the blue button to the lowest state, and then press the A/C air conditioning switch button. 2. Air conditioning principle: After the air conditioner is powered on, the low-pressure steam of the refrigerant in the refrigeration system is sucked in by the compressor and compressed into high-pressure steam, which is then discharged to the condenser. At the same time, the outdoor air sucked in by the axial fan flows through the condenser, taking away the heat released by the refrigerant, causing the high-pressure refrigerant steam to condense into high-pressure liquid.
