Newly replaced wiper blades may not clean properly and leave water streaks due to oil film on the windshield or mismatched wiper blades. Here are the detailed explanations: Oil film on the windshield: When a vehicle is exposed to the natural environment, the fine pores on the glass can enlarge over time, absorbing exhaust fumes and oil mist from the air to form an oil film. Simply relying on wiper blades and windshield washer fluid is not enough to remove the oil film; a dedicated oil film cleaner must be used. Mismatched wiper blades: If the wiper blades do not match, they may not fully adhere to the glass. Refer to the vehicle manual to confirm the correct wiper blade model. Also, check whether the connection method between the wiper arm and the blade is compatible.

What Causes a Car to Stall Automatically?

The reasons for a car stalling automatically are: 1. Misoperation; 2. Dirty throttle idle motor; 3. Fuel system failure; 4. Ignition system failure; 5. Use of substandard fuel causing carbon deposits in the engine; 6. Generator or battery power supply system failure. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. The generator's role is to supply power to all electrical equipment except the starter while the engine is running normally, and simultaneously charge the battery to compensate for the power consumed during startup, ensuring the battery has sufficient charge for the next engine start.

What to Do When Both ID Card and Driver's License Are Lost?

The solution for losing both ID card and driver's license is to reapply for them. Before reapplying for the ID card, you must first report the loss of the ID card, then bring your household registration booklet to the local public security authority to reapply for the ID card. You must go in person to handle this. The driver's license does not need to be reported as lost; you only need to apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office after obtaining the new ID card. A driver's license (full name: motor vehicle driver's license), also known as a driving permit, is a document issued by the government's transportation department to individuals qualified to drive. It is usually a card. To obtain a driver's license, you must meet the age requirements and pass a driving test. The driver's license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is allowed to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, buses, etc.

How far can you drive when the fuel gauge shows 0?

When the fuel gauge shows 0, you can still drive about 20 kilometers. The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. Its function is to immediately light up an alarm when the fuel level in the tank falls below a specified value, alerting the driver to refuel promptly. Fuel gauges are categorized into pointer-type and digital-type based on their design. The method to read the fuel gauge is as follows: 1. When the illuminated bars reach the 'F' position, it indicates the tank is full; 2. The closer the illuminated bars are to the 'E' position, the less fuel remains, signaling the need for immediate refueling. The fuel gauge can be viewed on the central dashboard's trip computer screen, and the data can be toggled using the button on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel.

What is a Streaming Rearview Mirror?

Streaming rearview mirror is a new type of rearview mirror that transmits the rear view to the mirror through a camera located next to the high-mounted stop light at the rear of the vehicle. Here are the specific details: 1. The images captured by the streaming rearview mirror's camera are extremely clear, and the rear view is expanded by 2 to 3 times, providing excellent visibility while driving, greatly reducing blind spots caused by the C-pillar. 2. Compared to traditional rearview mirrors, the streaming rearview mirror can display various scenes behind the vehicle more clearly and with a wider field of view. If screen glare is an issue, simply adjust the mirror to an angle that minimizes reflections.
