Why does a new Corolla have an odor?
1 Answers
Due to the presence of substances such as formaldehyde in the plastic panels or rubber rings inside the vehicle that have not yet dissipated, a certain odor may be produced. Methods to eliminate odors in a new car: Ventilation method. When parking, do not completely close the windows; leave a small gap to allow air circulation, which helps to expel the odor. If conditions permit, you can even open the doors or windows to increase air circulation. Activated charcoal, with its porous structure, has strong adsorption capabilities and can adsorb a series of pollutants including formaldehyde without causing secondary pollution. However, activated charcoal needs to be replaced promptly once it becomes saturated, approximately every three months. Causes of odors inside the car: Odors inside the car, such as those caused by smoking, eating, or placing unclean items inside the vehicle, can be resolved by promptly opening the windows for ventilation. New car odor: When the car is first manufactured, the plastic panels or rubber rings inside the vehicle may contain substances like formaldehyde that have not yet dissipated, producing a certain odor. This is a normal situation and will resolve after some time of use. Air conditioning odor: If the air conditioning filter is not cleaned for a long time, bacteria and dirt can accumulate. When air passes through these contaminants and circulates into the car, it will inevitably produce an odor. In this case, simply cleaning the air conditioning filter will suffice.
