Pickup is a transliteration of the American term 'pick-up', also known as a sedan truck, which, as the name suggests, is both a sedan and a truck. It is a light-duty cargo vehicle with an open-top cargo box behind the cab, where the side panels of the cargo box are integrated with the cab. It is a passenger-cargo dual-purpose vehicle that resembles a sedan in the front and has a cargo box at the back. Additional information: Its characteristics include the comfort of a sedan, strong power, and better cargo-carrying and off-road capabilities than a sedan. The most common type of pickup truck is the double-cab pickup. Pickup trucks can serve as special-purpose vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, official vehicles, commercial vehicles, or family cars, used for cargo transport, tourism, taxis, etc. The so-called 'pickup' is a hybrid of a sedan and a truck. With the growing community of modification enthusiasts, pickup truck modifications are becoming an increasingly popular category. In the United States, pickup trucks are highly popular.

Which button turns on the heater in a car during winter?

In a car during winter, the heater is turned on by the 'auto' button. The method for using the car's heater in winter is as follows: 1. Start the engine to warm it up; 2. Turn on the heater when the engine's water temperature reaches above 40 degrees Celsius; 3. Turn on the external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car; 4. Then switch to internal circulation. The working principle of a car's heater is: When the engine's water temperature becomes too hot, the refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where its pressure and temperature decrease, and the refrigerant gas condenses into a liquid, releasing heat. Methods for using and maintaining a car's air conditioning system include: 1. Do not set the temperature too low; 2. Control the direction of the air vents; 3. Avoid prolonged use; 4. Occasionally use a higher fan speed; 5. Turn off the air conditioning when driving at low speeds.
