Here are the reasons for fog forming on the inside of car windows: 1. When the window temperature falls below the dew point under certain air humidity conditions, condensation forms on the window surface, causing windshield fogging. 2. When there's a temperature difference between both sides of the window, and the water vapor saturation pressure on the colder surface is lower than the surrounding environment's vapor pressure, moisture gathers on the glass surface and forms tiny droplets, creating fog. Here are extended methods to prevent window fogging: 1. Anti-fog spray method: Spray a small amount of defogger on car windows and wipe clean. This not only removes dirt and stains but also forms a thin transparent protective film that effectively prevents moisture condensation. 2. Air conditioning cooling method: Use the AC's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity. If humidity is excessive and AC effects are insufficient, slightly open a window to quickly reduce cabin humidity. 3. Air conditioning heating method: In winter, direct warm air onto the windshield to rapidly increase its temperature and reduce the temperature difference between inner and outer surfaces, preventing excessive windshield fogging.

How to Remove the Car Air Vent?

What to Do When the Lavida's Anti-Theft System Locks and the Engine Stalls Upon Starting?

Check whether the battery voltage is normal and inspect related circuits, including the starter. Check the spark plugs and ignition coils for normal operation, and perform resistance tests; inspect the intake system for proper operation, blockages, leaks, and whether the throttle body is excessively dirty. Check if there is fuel in the tank and whether the fuel pump is working properly, and if the fuel lines are clogged due to the use of poor-quality gasoline. Based on the vehicle's condition, inspect the car's overall status. If the issue cannot be identified, then the only option is to call for a tow truck.

What to Do About Gear Downshift Noise in the New Magotan?

Check if the brake pads are nearly worn out. If they are new pads, inspect whether there are any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and the pads. Examine the condition of the brake calipers, such as wear on the sliding pins or detachment of the spring plates. Inspect the brake discs for grooves, as localized friction can cause noise. Also, check if the brake pads are too hard or if the noise-damping shims are incorrectly installed. If no issues are found with the brake pads, calipers, or discs, it is advisable to visit a repair shop for a professional inspection and maintenance.

How to Fold the Side Mirrors on a Corolla?

On the side near the curb, manually fold the rearview mirror over. Avoid randomly adjusting the mirror glass, as this can cause the glass to shake, leading to eye fatigue. Press the switch to fold the mirrors; press the switch again to return them to their original position. If your vehicle does not come with a switch-operated folding system, it can be retrofitted. In automatic mode, locking/unlocking the doors is synchronized with the folding or unfolding of the mirrors. Performing a switch fold operation and turning off the engine will disable the automatic folding feature. To reactivate it, hold down both the switch and the angle adjustment switch simultaneously and then perform the switch fold operation.

How to Check Volkswagen Genuine Parts?

Genuine parts manufacturers have fixed retail prices for parts within a certain region, and some even have nationwide uniform pricing. The price difference for the same type of products from different manufacturers is minimal. Genuine parts packaging is relatively standardized, with the product name, specifications, quantity, registered trademark, manufacturer's name and address, and contact number clearly marked on the packaging. The printing, engraving, or casting marks on the surface of genuine parts are clear and are the result of obvious mechanical work. Some parts may also have assembly marks engraved on their surfaces. Counterfeiters may simply process and refurbish used parts before selling them as new. If the surface paint is not smooth and even, or has small bumps, it is definitely a refurbished part. Check the surface of the part for rust. Qualified parts have both precision and smoothness on their mating surfaces, with more important parts having higher precision.
