Will a car's air conditioning not cool if the sensor is broken?

The air conditioning can still cool even if the sensor in a small car is broken. Detailed introduction: The air conditioning cooling effect is still good, but the air volume is very small. In this case, replacing the air conditioning filter can solve the problem, as a dirty air conditioning filter prevents fresh air from being blown in. Specific situation: Initially, the air conditioning cooling effect is good, and the air volume is large. However, after driving for a while, the air volume decreases. This may be due to the failure of the air conditioning evaporator temperature sensor. The air conditioning evaporator is where heat exchange occurs. The refrigerant changes from liquid to gas inside the evaporator, and the liquid vaporization absorbs a large amount of heat from the surroundings, causing the evaporator temperature to drop. Outside air passes through the evaporator, and the air temperature decreases. When the evaporator temperature sensor fails, the vehicle's computer cannot control the compressor's start and stop, causing the compressor to keep working. This leads to frost formation on the evaporator, preventing outside air from passing through. As a result, the air volume from the car's air conditioning vents decreases. After the vehicle is turned off for a while, the frost on the evaporator melts, and the cooling effect can be restored. However, after driving for a while, the air volume from the air conditioning vents decreases again. In this case, replacing the evaporator temperature sensor may solve the problem.

What is the difference between manual central locking and remote central locking?

The differences between manual central locking and remote central locking can be categorized into different operation methods, varying levels of operational difficulty, and different safety factors. Differences in operation methods and difficulty levels: Manual central locking in cars requires manual operation, while remote central locking uses a remote control. In fact, whether it's manual locking or automatic locking, the purpose is to ensure the safety of people and property. However, manual locking, although relatively more cumbersome, tends to be slightly more effective than automatic locking. Of course, you can't expect the doors to lock automatically just by closing them, as the driver might be seated while passengers may not have boarded yet. Different safety factors: The condition for automatic locking while driving is that it only engages after reaching a certain speed. When the vehicle is stationary, automatic locking does not occur. This means that while the vehicle is stationary, although there is no risk of accidental door opening leading to falls, there is a danger of theft. Therefore, it's common practice to develop the habit of manual locking.

Can Four-Wheel Drive Cars Drift?

Four-wheel drive cars can drift. Introduction to Drifting: Drifting is a driving technique, also known as "tail sliding." The driver causes the car to slide sideways through excessive steering. This is usually compared to grip turning. Drifting is mainly used in performances or racing events with significant changes in road conditions. Due to the frictional characteristics of the road surface, drifting is more frequently applied in off-road rally races. However, other types of racing rarely use drifting techniques for turning because drifting on regular asphalt roads causes significant speed loss and increased tire wear. Unless for special reasons, drivers do not frequently use this technique during competitions. Drifting Techniques: Pull the handbrake while driving straight and then turn the steering wheel; pull the handbrake during a turn; slam the brakes while driving straight and then turn the steering wheel; slam the brakes during a turn; for rear-wheel drive cars with sufficient power, slam the accelerator and turn the steering wheel when the speed is not too high.

Where is the left fender located on a car?

The left fender is located above the left tire on the left side of the vehicle. It serves as the outer panel on the side of the vehicle and is formed from resin. The fender is integrally formed with both the outer panel section and the reinforcement section using resin. Concept of the fender: The fender (also known as a wing panel) is categorized into front fenders and rear fenders based on its installation position. It refers to a type of cover component used on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Function of the fender: According to fluid dynamics, it reduces the drag coefficient, making the car drive more smoothly. The front fender prevents sand, gravel, and mud splashed up by the wheels during driving from reaching the bottom of the cabin, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis.

Do New Energy Vehicles Have Auto Start-Stop?

New energy vehicles do not have auto start-stop. Engine Auto Start-Stop: A system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when movement is required. Engine start-stop technology allows the new energy vehicle's engine to automatically shut off during situations like waiting at traffic lights or encountering traffic jams, reducing unnecessary fuel consumption, lowering emissions, and improving fuel economy. Disadvantages of Auto Start-Stop Function: Frequent engine starts and stops can cause damage to related components such as the starter and battery. Their failure rates are higher than those in conventional vehicles without auto start-stop systems. Additionally, the maintenance costs for enhanced starters and batteries are also higher than those for standard ones.

Why Does Rain Flow Backwards While Driving?

Rain flows backwards while driving because the vehicle speed is too high. The principle of rain flowing backwards: Ignoring the actual wind speed (i.e., natural wind in static conditions), a vehicle speed of over 160 km/h is required. The 'subjective' wind speed caused by the vehicle's motion can overcome the gravitational potential energy of the raindrops on the windshield, causing them to flow upwards. Precautions for driving in the rain: Control your speed. Roads are slippery in the rain, and visibility is reduced, so it's essential to control your speed and maintain a safe following distance. Don’t take familiar routes for granted. Drive cautiously and avoid driving through deep water. Observe other vehicles first; if the water level reaches nearly half of the tire height, do not attempt to force your way through.

Can a tire still be used if a piece is torn off the sidewall?

It is not recommended to use. The rubber on the sidewall of the tire is very thin and can easily burst from the damaged area. Moreover, it cannot be repaired because repairing requires grinding away part of the rubber, making it even thinner. Generally, repair shops do not repair tire sidewalls and recommend replacement instead, as safety comes first. Cases where tires cannot be repaired: Sidewall damage cannot be repaired. A puncture hole in the tread with a diameter exceeding 6mm cannot be repaired. Other irreparable damages include bead damage or deformation, tread deformation, rubber corroded by chemicals, or damage caused by driving on a flat tire. Note on tire lifespan: Tires naturally wear out, so normal tires will have wear limits marked on the sidewall before leaving the factory to indicate the real-time wear condition of the tire. Regular checks on tire wear should be conducted during daily use to prevent severe wear that could affect performance.
