1. Evaporator: The car's air conditioning system is equipped with an evaporator on the dashboard. When the air conditioner is turned on (AC key activated), the surface temperature of the evaporator becomes very low. Moisture from the hot air inside the car condenses on the heat-absorbing fins of the evaporator. The water droplets are collected by the evaporator's plastic housing and drained out of the car through a pipe. If the car has been parked for a while, you might sometimes notice clean, transparent water on the ground. Don't worry about car malfunction, as the engine coolant is usually antifreeze (green, red, or blue). 2. Compressor: Outside the compressor (low-pressure zone) in the engine compartment, condensed moisture from the air can also drip onto the ground (sometimes in greater quantities than the evaporator's drainage). 3. Low-pressure pipe: If the low-pressure pipe is not covered with insulating foam, moisture from the air can easily condense on the pipe's surface. Water droplets typically accumulate at the lowest point of the pipe.

Can You Shift from D to L Gear While Climbing a Hill in an Automatic Transmission?

You can shift from D to L gear while climbing a hill in an automatic transmission. When driving at low speeds, such as during hill climbing with the speed around 20 km/h, you can directly shift from D to L gear. However, at high speeds, such as around 80 km/h, shifting directly from D to L gear will cause the engine RPM to rise immediately, which can cause significant damage to the engine and transmission. Automatic transmission vehicles have gear positions including P, R, N, D, S, and P. When parking, the gear selector must be moved to the P position; R is the reverse gear; N is the neutral gear, which can be used when starting the car, parking without leaving the vehicle, or when towing; D is the drive gear, and during normal driving, placing the gear selector in D allows the car to automatically shift between forward gears.

How to Repair Dents on the Hood Caused by Stones?

The methods to repair dents on the hood caused by stones are: 1. Assess the depth and size of the dent. Since the car hood is made of metal, if a piece is chipped off by a stone and the dent is too large or almost penetrates the metal, replacement is necessary; 2. If the dent is not too severe, you can take it to an auto repair shop for fixing. Car paint repairs are calculated by the panel. Even if only a small part of the hood is damaged, the entire hood needs to be repainted. The repair process includes removing the paint, performing metalwork to flatten the dent, and repainting; 3. DIY paint repair. Since the hood is metal, if the paint is chipped off, the metal part may rust over time and even rust through, leading to water leakage. You can purchase a touch-up paint pen to repair it yourself.

What are the pros and cons of installing a supercharger on the Terra?

Here are the pros and cons of installing a supercharger on the Terra: The advantages of installing a supercharger on the Terra are: The power output is proportional to the crankshaft speed, meaning the power output of the supercharged engine increases as the speed rises. The disadvantages of installing a supercharger on the Terra are: It can lead to a loss of some of the engine's kinetic energy. The supercharger is driven by a belt, which generates significant friction at high speeds, affecting speed improvement and producing loud noise. Supercharger technology does not need to be connected to the engine's lubrication system, requires no cooling, is maintenance-free, reliable, and has a long lifespan. The supercharger addresses issues like throttle response lag, turbo lag, and sudden power output, achieving instant throttle response, linear power output with speed, and enhancing driving performance.
