There are several reasons why the horn sound becomes weaker on rainy days: 1. Poor internal contact: According to the working principle of the horn, if the contacts are not properly connected, the horn may sometimes work and sometimes not. In such cases, the first thing to consider is whether the contacts are wet or damp. 2. Poor plug contact: Sometimes, the contacts around the steering wheel may wear out due to frequent use, leading to poor connection. This can also cause the horn sound to become hoarse. If this happens during rainy weather, the sound may become weaker or even stop working. 3. Water damage to the crossover: Although the crossover is located inside the car, it is still important to protect it from water and moisture. If the terminals are found to be damp or even soaked, they should be dried immediately, and the door seals should be properly maintained to prevent the horn sound from weakening after rain.

Is the unit of measurement for tires 'piece' or 'strip'?

Tires can be referred to as either a 'piece' or a 'strip'. Tires can be categorized into three types based on their tread patterns. The specific categories are as follows: Unidirectional Tread Pattern: The unidirectional tread pattern features interconnected tread grooves, forming independent tread blocks. This type of tire offers excellent braking performance, superior water drainage, and outstanding stability in rainy conditions, making it suitable for high-speed driving. However, the tire must be installed in the correct direction matching the driving direction. It is ideal for high-speed sedans. Block Tread Pattern: The block tread pattern also has interconnected tread grooves, forming independent tread blocks. It provides superior braking and handling performance, excellent control and stability on snow and wet roads, and good water drainage in rainy conditions. However, due to its independent tread block structure, the wear resistance of block tread tires is relatively poor. Asymmetric Tread Pattern: The asymmetric tread pattern has different tread designs on the left and right sides of the tire. By increasing the grounding pressure of the outer tread during turns, it significantly enhances high-speed cornering performance and improves the wear resistance of the outer tread. However, it is crucial to ensure the correct installation direction of the tire. This pattern is more suitable for racing and high-performance vehicles.

How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Toyota Crown?

Crown maintenance light reset, with the vehicle engine started, first press the SET button on the steering wheel of the new Crown model, then press the SEL button on the right side of the steering wheel, followed by pressing the cancel button on the steering wheel. The dashboard will then display the maintenance light reset. Below is more information about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, in normal technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 2. Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting daily maintenance can not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also endanger driving safety. For example, lack of lubricating oil can cause cylinder scoring and bearing burning, and malfunction of a certain part of the vehicle can lead to traffic accidents. On the contrary, if daily work is done carefully, it can not only keep the vehicle as good as new but also help to understand the technical condition of each part of the vehicle, avoiding mechanical and traffic accidents.

How Long Does It Usually Take to Get a License Plate?

The time it takes to get a license plate depends on the method of selecting the plate number. There are three ways to choose a license plate number: self-selection, 10-choose-1, and online selection. If you use the 10-choose-1 method, you can usually get the license plate on the same day. If you choose online selection or self-selection, it generally takes 15 working days to receive the license plate. Below are the steps for self-service license plate selection: 1. Download the Traffic Management 12123 APP. 2. Open the APP, register, and log in. Ensure all information is accurate. Select "New Vehicle Selection" or "Used Vehicle Selection" based on your situation, and choose the city according to the steps. 3. Select "Local Used Vehicle" or "Relocation from Another Region" as applicable. 4. Fill in the specific information on the page, including the registration book number and vehicle identification code. 7. Upon successful selection, the system will notify you by which date the license plate must be processed. 5. A notification page will appear, reminding you to follow the rules for pre-selecting a license plate. 6. There are two methods: random selection and self-selection, both with limited attempts. Once a number is selected, it cannot be changed, so choose carefully. If you decide to abandon the selected number later, there will be corresponding penalties.

Is the Great Wall Haval H6 not moving when in gear due to a burnt clutch?

The Great Wall Haval H6 not moving when in gear could be due to a burnt clutch, or it might be caused by issues with the engine control system, where the fuel injection and ignition do not match the load changes, leading to severe shaking or stalling. Functional Obstacles: Generally, the inspection starts from the drive wheels, moving forward through the rear axle to the drive shaft, then to the transmission, and finally to the clutch. If the drive shaft rotates but the car does not move forward, the fault lies in the rear axle. Lift the rear axle and rotate one rear wheel; if the other rear wheel rotates in the opposite direction but the drive shaft does not rotate, it indicates that all the rivets of the driven bevel gear are sheared. If the other rear wheel does not rotate, the half-shaft should be disassembled and inspected for breakage. Transmission Fault: If the car is in gear and the drive shaft does not rotate when starting, the fault is in the transmission. Remove the transmission cover and inspect whether the transmission shift fork is broken or if the guide block fixing screws are loose. If the above inspections are normal, conduct a gear-shifting test. If the second shaft does not rotate when a certain gear is engaged, it means the half-round key of that gear's gear is sheared.

Does Window Tinting Affect Vehicle Registration for 2021 New Cars?

2021 new car window tinting affects vehicle registration. According to GB7258-2004 "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicles Operating on Roads" implemented in 2004, the driver's compartment must ensure forward and side visibility for the driver. The visible light transmittance of the windshield and other glass areas in the driver's line of sight must not be less than 70%. Mirror-reflective sunshade films are prohibited on all window glass. Do not roll windows up/down after tinting: After window tinting, avoid rolling windows up/down for one week. In most cases, automotive window film requires 5-7 days to fully adhere to the glass. During this period, minimize window operation to prevent displacement of the not-yet-fully-bonded film. Do not wipe: After window tinting, avoid wiping for one week. Newly applied film may develop fogging or haze - a normal phenomenon during the curing process. Such conditions appearing within one week to half a month are normal. Simply wait for the haze to disappear naturally; never attempt to wipe it. Avoid sharp objects: After window tinting, never use sharp or coarse tools to scrape the film. If accidentally scraped with sharp/hard objects, the film's light transmittance will be significantly compromised.
