Is It Normal for a New Car to Drip Water When the Air Conditioner Is On?

Normal. Here is the relevant information: Condensation water: This water is condensation from the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is cooling, the temperature of the evaporator and the air ducts leading to the passenger compartment is very low, usually around 0~5 degrees Celsius. Water vapor from the outside air will liquefy and condense on the walls of the air conditioner's pipes and casing at such low temperatures. If there is no way to drain it, it can cause moisture around the air conditioning system (inside the dashboard) and corrosion of components. Normal phenomenon: Therefore, when designing a vehicle, drainage pipes are included to collect and discharge the condensation water. The outlet to the outside is usually located directly below the center of the dashboard, which, when projected to the underside of the car, is roughly at the front of the transmission. So in the summer, if you start the engine, turn on the air conditioner, and leave the car parked for a while before driving off, you will often see a puddle of water on the ground. This puddle is the result of water vapor in the air condensing due to the cold, which is a normal phenomenon.

Can the ETC still be used after the vehicle is transferred? Can it be changed?

After the vehicle is transferred, the ETC cannot be used or changed. Since both the vehicle and license plate have been changed, and the ETC IC card stores the vehicle's inherent information (such as vehicle type, owner, license plate number, etc.), road operation information, and toll status information, a new ETC must be applied for once the vehicle is transferred and the license plate is changed. The owner should first go to the bank to unbind the original ETC-linked bank card and then apply for a new ETC for the new vehicle. Below are the methods for applying for ETC: In-person application at a service outlet: The owner needs to bring the original and photocopies of their ID card and vehicle registration certificate (the photocopy should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp), as well as an income proof stamped by their employer. If an agent is handling the process, the agent's ID card is also required. Then, fill out the relevant application form at the counter and wait for the bank's approval. Online application: Many banks have launched online application services. Users only need to fill in personal and vehicle information as prompted and upload clear photos of their ID card and vehicle registration certificate to apply for ETC.

Should I get the first maintenance after driving 500 km in three months for a new car?

Maintenance is unnecessary at this point. Currently, the first maintenance for vehicles is generally set at either 3,000 km or 5,000 km, with a time frame of three months or six months. The requirements may vary slightly depending on the car manufacturer. Below is some relevant information: First car maintenance: Essentially, the first maintenance for a car primarily involves servicing the engine oil, which has two limiting factors—the oil must not deteriorate, and the impurities within the oil must not be excessive. Excessive engine mileage: Engines are equipped with oil filters to remove impurities. However, if the engine is driven for too long, the oil filter may not fully capture all contaminants, and wear particles from components can easily mix into the oil, potentially damaging the engine. For new cars, engine wear is particularly severe within the first 1,000 km of driving. After that, engine wear tends to stabilize. Therefore, during the first maintenance of a new car, the engine oil often appears black in color. As a car owner, it is advisable to perform maintenance as early as possible.

What to Do When Car Seats Get Wet

When the water has not completely soaked in, immediately use items like paper towels or towels to absorb the excess moisture as quickly as possible. Use a hairdryer to dry the area or turn on the car's air conditioning to blow hot air for drying. If the water has soaked in excessively and the wetting is severe, it is necessary to drive to a 4S shop repair center and seek professional assistance.

What are the Japanese station wagon models?

Japanese station wagons are as follows; Mitsubishi Legnum-VR-4: Initially, the Legnum was developed to compete with the Legacy station wagon version, which was based on the Galant. Therefore, Mitsubishi, which had always struggled against Subaru, also produced its own high-performance version, the Legnum VR-4. Whatever the Legacy GT-B had, the Legnum VR-4 had too, and even more, such as the latter's 6A13 engine with a displacement of 2.5L (output limited by regulations to 280PS); automatic transmission models were also available, but Mitsubishi's INVECS-II had one more gear than the outdated 4AT; Toyota Caldina: Toyota Caldina GT-T/GT-FOUR, just by looking at the appearance, Toyota's rustic style is still evident, but this station wagon named Caldina GT-T definitely couldn't hide its performance. In addition to the four-wheel-drive system, this model was also equipped with the 3S-GTE engine introduced with the Celica GT-FOUR during the same period, but the output was slightly increased to 250ps, and the engine was matched with either a 5MT or 4AT.
