Because the new replacement part does not come with paint, it needs to be painted. The hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, which not only reduce engine noise but also isolate the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint surface on the hood and preventing aging. Below are the functions of the hood: 1. Airflow guidance: For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of air flow relative to the car's movement and the resistance force, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Through guidance, air resistance can be decomposed into beneficial forces, increasing the grip of the front tires on the ground, which enhances the car's driving stability. The streamlined appearance of the hood is primarily designed based on this principle. 2. Protection for the engine and surrounding pipeline components: Under the hood are critical components of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, oil circuits, braking system, and transmission system, all of which are vital to the vehicle. By enhancing the strength and structure of the hood, it can effectively prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rain, and electrical interference, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. 3. Aesthetics: The exterior design of a vehicle is a direct reflection of its value. As an important part of the overall appearance, the hood plays a crucial role in enhancing visual appeal and embodying the concept of the entire car.

Why Should You Turn Off the Air Conditioning Before Turning Off the Engine?

Turning off the engine before turning off the air conditioning can be harmful to the engine. This is because the next time the vehicle is started, the engine will have to bear the load of the air conditioning, which can cause damage due to the high stress. It is recommended to turn off the air conditioning a few minutes before reaching your destination. This allows the natural air to circulate, bringing the temperature inside the air conditioning ducts back to ambient levels and eliminating temperature differences, thereby maintaining relative dryness in the air conditioning system and preventing mold growth. Additionally, it is advisable to wait two to three minutes after starting the vehicle, allowing the engine to be properly lubricated, before turning on the air conditioning. Below are some precautions for using the air conditioning: 1. Using the air conditioning in summer: When the weather is hot and you need to cool down, press the AC button, adjust the temperature control knob to the blue section, and then turn on the fan switch. The indicator light will illuminate, and the car's air conditioning compressor will start working, blowing cold air from the vents. 2. Using the air conditioning in winter: When you need warm air in winter, adjust the temperature control knob to the red section and turn on the fan switch to get warm air. There is no need to press the AC button, as the heating system does not rely on the compressor. The warm air is provided by the car's radiator, and the blower directs the heat into the cabin, consuming almost no additional energy, so the A/C button does not need to be activated.

Is Driving Through Puddles Generally a Big Problem for Cars?

Driving through puddles usually doesn't cause significant issues for cars as long as the engine doesn't stall. Here are some precautions for driving through water with a motor vehicle: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission vehicles, engage the hill-climbing gear) and slowly pass through the waterlogged area at a steady speed while maintaining control of the steering. Be aware of potential potholes or gaps beneath the water on the road. 2. Do not restart the engine if it stalls: If the vehicle stalls in the waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine could cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod assembly due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or breakage. In severe cases, this might even result in the complete destruction of the entire engine.
