The reasons why you can hear water sounds when the car air conditioner is on include insufficient engine coolant and detached central air conditioning hoses. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Insufficient Engine Coolant: When you hear water sounds with the car air conditioner on, this sound is produced as water passes through the heater core. Check if the engine coolant is insufficient. The solution is to first add antifreeze and then press the accelerator to release air. Detached Central Air Conditioning Hose: When you hear water sounds with the car air conditioner on, it is because the air conditioning condensate water is supposed to flow out of the cabin through the hose. Check if the central air conditioning hose is detached. The solution is to reinstall it.

What Causes Tire Bulges on Cars?

The causes of tire bulges on cars are: 1. Insufficient tire pressure: When tire pressure is too low, even minor bumps can cause excessive folding of the tire, leading to bulges; 2. Impact on the tire: When the tire is subjected to violent compression, the internal air pressure increases, causing the weaker sidewall to bulge outward; 3. Poor road conditions: These can significantly impact the tire and also cause bulges; 4. Tire quality issues. Methods to prevent tire bulges: 1. Avoid driving quickly on poor road conditions or over speed bumps; 2. Regularly check tire pressure and replenish it promptly when low; 3. Park the vehicle on a flat surface to avoid sidewall compression.

What does it mean to have not yet participated in the subject driver training?

Not having participated in the subject driver training means that you have not yet attended the training for the current subject. Below is relevant information about subject driver training: 1. Introduction: Subject driver training refers to the learning time at a driving school, commonly known as "clocking hours." If the required hours for each subject are not completed, you cannot take the exam. For example, Subject 1 theoretical learning generally requires 30 hours of study time, while Subject 2 requires 28 hours. 2. Training Hours: Subjects 2 and 3 (road training) share 10 and 12 hours respectively, which means obtaining a driver's license requires completing at least 22 hours. Additionally, for Subjects 2 and 3, trainees must clock in inside the vehicle, with the entire training session requiring the trainee to be physically present in the car for practice. Cameras will record in real-time to ensure the trainee is genuinely learning, and no one can substitute for the trainee.

What are the consequences of forgetting to turn off the low beam lights before turning off the engine?

Forgetting to turn off the low beam lights before turning off the engine can have the following consequences: For vehicle models without an automatic light-off function, the lights will remain on until the battery is completely drained. If the battery runs out of power or has insufficient power, the vehicle may fail to start. Therefore, it is essential to check whether any electrical devices are left on before exiting the car. If the car headlights have an automatic shut-off function, they will turn off automatically after the engine is turned off. Low beam lights are designed for close-range illumination, featuring a wide coverage area but a short projection distance, with non-adjustable focus. It is mandatory to turn on the low beam lights when driving in dark areas without streetlights, during dusk when visibility is low, or at dawn when light is just appearing.

How Far Can You Drive When the Oil Gauge Light Comes On?

You can continue driving for approximately 50-80 kilometers. Below is additional information: Fuel supply from the tank: The fuel supply from the tank requires the operation of the fuel pump to deliver fuel to the engine. To ensure the vehicle's range under special circumstances, one of the tank's critical design principles is that the fuel pump must effectively pump fuel whether the fuel level is at its lowest or highest point. This means that even when the fuel level is very low, the fuel pump can still ensure normal fuel supply from the tank to the engine. Basis for continued driving: As long as you drive normally, there will be no damage to the vehicle even if the oil gauge light comes on. In older vehicles, continued driving with the oil gauge light on might have caused some damage to the fuel pump. However, with advancements in vehicle technology, driving with the oil gauge light on no longer causes any damage to the vehicle.
