Why is water spraying from the exhaust pipe?

Water spraying from the exhaust pipe is normal. In winter, incomplete combustion of gasoline produces white smoke from the exhaust pipe, which contains water vapor. When the water vapor passes through the exhaust pipe and encounters cold temperatures, it condenses into small water droplets. Over time, these droplets accumulate and may spray out from the exhaust pipe. Car owners can check the coolant level to see if it is insufficient. The primary products of gasoline combustion are carbon dioxide and water, which are in a gaseous state after combustion. When they cool down, they turn into water. Water dripping from the exhaust pipe indicates that the vehicle is operating normally. The water droplets are formed due to temperature differences. The higher the thermal efficiency of the engine, the smaller the heat loss, meaning most of the heat is retained within the cylinders. A small portion of the heat creates a temperature difference environment inside the exhaust pipe, resulting in visible water droplets dripping from the exhaust pipe.

How to Use the CR-V Paddle Shifters?

More commonly, the paddle shifters are located on the left and right sides of the steering wheel's inner arc, with both paddles serving the same function. For most mid-to-high-end cars, when using the paddle shifters, you should first place the gear lever into manual mode, usually controlled by a button on the vehicle. When you downshift continuously with the left paddle, the engine RPM will rise sharply, providing sufficient power to quickly overtake slower vehicles ahead.

What Causes the Headlights to Move Up and Down When Starting the Car?

When the headlights move up and down during car startup, this is a normal phenomenon. This action occurs because the vehicle is equipped with an adaptive front lighting system. The adaptive front lighting system performs a self-check every time the car starts to ensure the system functions properly. The adaptive front lighting system is a dynamic lighting system that adjusts the low-beam axis horizontally in coordination with the steering wheel's turning angle and vertically in response to the vehicle's height. In other words, the height of the vehicle's headlights can change according to the vehicle's body height. This prevents the risk of accidents in dark environments due to delayed lighting adjustments when the vehicle's height changes.
