When the wiper is dry and makes a loud scraping sound, it is usually caused by the aging of the wiper rubber strip, and a new wiper needs to be replaced. Most cases where the wiper squeaks and fails to clean properly are due to wear and roughness on the rubber strip, which causes abnormal noise or incomplete removal of rainwater during operation, making it difficult to see clearly while driving in the rain. Below are some daily usage precautions for wipers: 1. Maintain moisture when using the wiper: Ensure the rubber wiper strip remains adequately moist during daily use. Only with sufficient moisture can it maintain excellent flexibility and ensure tight contact with the windshield. If the windshield lacks moisture before use, dry wiping can lead to counterproductive results. 2. Wait until more raindrops accumulate on the windshield before activating the wiper: If raindrops accumulate slowly and do not obstruct vision, it is best to wait until more raindrops gather on the windshield before turning on the wiper. When using the wiper in light rain, it is advisable to spray windshield washer fluid first to ensure sufficient moisture for lubricating the wiper.

Does engine oil exceeding six months have a significant impact?

Engine oil exceeding six months has a considerable impact. Here are the relevant details: Reason: If the engine oil has exceeded six months, it is recommended to replace it. Once oxidized, the sealing and lubricating properties of engine oil significantly decrease, and the most significant impact of reduced lubrication is severe engine wear. Additional information: If engine oil is not changed for an extended period, it will accumulate many impurities, such as iron filings and large dust particles, leading not only to wear issues but also to corrosion of internal components. Once the engine oil deteriorates and its performance declines, the lubrication properties of bearings and the cooling function of mechanical transmission parts will be lost, adversely affecting the vehicle's optimal driving condition.

What are the key points to observe for parallel parking in Subject 2 of the driving test?

For parallel parking in Subject 2, there are mainly 2 key points to observe: point A at the upper left corner of the parking space and point C at the lower right corner. Below are the precautions for Subject 2 test: 1. Reverse parking into the garage: The main points for deduction include crossing the line while reversing, failing to enter the garage, exceeding the time limit, and not following the designated route. After the regulation reform, a time limit of 210 seconds is imposed for reverse parking, and exceeding this time will result in failure. During the test, you must first reverse into the right garage, then the left garage. Not following this sequence will result in failure. Pay attention to maintaining a 30cm margin while reversing. 2. Parallel parking: The main points for deduction include turn signals, 30cm margin, and crossing the line. When entering the test area, steer right in advance and align the highest point of the windshield wiper with the roadside line to adjust the 30cm margin. While reversing, remember the first right full lock point, straightening, left full lock, parking in the garage, and turning on the left turn signal. When exiting, observe the rearview mirror to prevent the wheels from crossing the line on either side. 3. Right-angle turn: The main points for deduction include turn signals and crossing the line. After entering the test area, turn on the turn signal and turn it off after the voice prompt. Incorrect operation of the turn signal will deduct 10 points. After entering the right-angle turn, adjust the body to maintain a 30cm margin from the side line, similar to parallel parking. When making the full lock, slightly release the clutch to prevent stopping or stalling midway. Straighten the body after the rear wheels exit to prevent the wheels from crossing the line.

Is the NC contact of a relay normally open or normally closed?

Relay NC is a normally closed contact, which refers to a contact that remains closed and conductive when no power is applied. A contact refers to the output form where the load current is not connected when the detection body is inactive. The working principle of a relay is: when the change in the input quantity meets specified requirements, it causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity within the electrical output circuit. Relays are used in automated control circuits as automatic switches that use small currents to control the operation of large currents. Their functions in circuits include: 1. Automatic regulation; 2. Safety protection; 3. Circuit switching. They are categorized into normally open type, normally closed type, and changeover type.

What are the specific steps for recharging car air conditioning refrigerant?

Car air conditioning refrigerant recharge specific steps are: 1. Prepare intact and qualified refrigerant and charging tools; 2. Connect the car air conditioning system to the charging tool adapter; 3. Inject liquid refrigerant from the high-pressure side. Methods to determine whether car air conditioning needs refrigerant recharge: 1. When the air conditioner is running, continuous bubbles appear in the sight glass of the pipeline, indicating low refrigerant level; 2. No bubbles appear whether the air conditioner is running or stopped, indicating excessive refrigerant; 3. No bubbles appear when the air conditioner is running, but briefly appear when stopped, indicating normal refrigerant level; 4. Open the hood and check if there are oil stains at the air conditioning system joints - oil stains indicate refrigerant deficiency.

What is the standard tire pressure for passenger cars?

The tire pressure for passenger cars is as follows: 1. Normal conditions: The tire pressure for passenger cars is generally between 2.2 and 2.5 kPa under normal circumstances. 2. In spring: In spring, when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, the tire pressure is usually maintained at 2.3-2.5 kPa. However, as the temperature and road surface temperature gradually rise, the tire pressure can easily increase during high-speed or long-distance driving, which may lead to tire blowouts. 3. In summer: In summer, the road surface temperature can reach 60-70 degrees Celsius. If the tire pressure is too high while driving, even a slight impact on a weak spot of the tire can easily cause a blowout. Information about tire pressure is as follows: 1. Tire pressure: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and its level plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. 2. Air pressure: Air pressure is the lifeline of the tire. Both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Too low pressure will increase tire deformation, easily causing cracks on the sidewalls and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Too high pressure will cause excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. In case of impact, it may cause internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
