If the new wiper cannot wipe a section in the middle, it may be due to an oil film on the windshield. If it is a beamless wiper, it could be because the pressure from the wiper arm is insufficient, preventing the wiper from fully extending. It is recommended to replace the spring strip on the wiper arm or switch to a three-section wiper. A wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs visibility. Reason: The wiper arm contains a spring, and the wiper relies on the spring to provide downward pressure to clean the windshield effectively during its movement. If the wiper pressure is too low, it will result in incomplete cleaning. This type of spring-loaded wiper cannot adjust the downward pressure; it can only be resolved by adjusting the angle of the wiper. Wiper angle: If the wiper angle is incorrect, you can loosen the screw at the base of the wiper arm, adjust it to the correct position, tighten the screw, and cover the dust cap. If the angle of the wiper head is incorrect, the wiper blade may not fit properly against the windshield, leading to incomplete cleaning or areas that are not wiped. In such cases, lift the wiper, remove the wiper blade, and use a wrench to adjust the angle of the wiper head until it fits snugly against the glass. The method for replacing a car wiper is as follows: lift the wiper; press the clip below to remove the wiper blade; take off the wiper; pry up the front end of the middle clip; insert the wiper into the middle clip, pull it tight by hand, and once you hear a click, the replacement is complete.

What to Do When Your Car Suddenly Breaks Down on the Highway?

If the car cannot move and remains stationary, all passengers should exit the vehicle and wait in a safe area. Place a warning triangle 500-1000 meters behind the car, then call for roadside assistance and explain the situation. If the car can still move, prioritize moving it to the emergency lane and follow the same steps as above. Highway Safety Tips: Before driving on the highway, conduct a thorough inspection of your car. Some car failures occur due to human oversight while driving on the highway. Regularly maintain your vehicle. Handling Car Breakdowns: If the issue can be resolved on your own, have one person monitor traffic conditions while another performs repairs, with others standing outside the highway if possible. If the problem cannot be fixed independently, ensure everyone stands outside the highway while one person calls for help.

What Causes the Brakes to Become Harder After Turning on the Car Air Conditioning?

There are several reasons why the brakes become harder after turning on the car air conditioning: 1. Increased engine load: Normally, when pressing the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal is released. At this time, the engine speed remains relatively high due to the vehicle's inertia, while the throttle is nearly closed. As a result, the intake manifold vacuum reaches its maximum, providing the best braking performance. However, when the air conditioning is turned on, the engine load increases. To prevent a significant drop in vehicle power performance, the engine control system is usually equipped with an air conditioning idle speed boost device. 2. Throttle fails to provide sufficient vacuum: In carburetor and low-end electronic fuel injection engines, this device slightly opens the throttle through an electromagnetic or vacuum actuator. Therefore, even when the driver releases the accelerator pedal during braking, the throttle remains partially open. Under these conditions, the intake manifold behind the throttle cannot provide the normal vacuum level, leading to a corresponding decrease in braking performance.

Precautions: When placing fruit peels in the car, they should be replaced regularly to prevent the fruits and vegetables from rotting in the enclosed environment of the car. Some car owners who place whole fruits in the car should avoid placing them directly on the dashboard or near the windshield to prevent potential hazards while driving.
