Whether a car fire extinguisher will explode in high summer temperatures depends on local temperature conditions and maintenance. Generally, it will not explode. Here are the relevant details: 1. Types: There are many types of fire extinguishers. Most car fire extinguishers are dry powder extinguishers, which theoretically can be stored at temperatures between -20°C and 55°C. Normally, they will not explode when placed in a car. 2. Precautions: This does not mean fire extinguishers can be placed in the car without caution. Although the steel cylinder will not explode, excessively high temperatures can accelerate the aging of related components, leading to leaks and rendering the extinguisher ineffective.

What is the correct method for starting an automatic transmission car?

Starting should be done by first pressing the brake, igniting the engine, shifting to D gear, releasing the handbrake, and then pressing the accelerator to start correctly. The correct method for parking is to first press the brake, engage the handbrake, shift to P gear, and then turn off the engine. Below is an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. Clutch structure: Hydraulic automatic clutch, CVT continuously variable transmission, DSG dual-clutch transmission. The clutch structure of an automatic transmission is completely different from that of a manual transmission. A semi-automatic transmission refers to AMT, which adds an automatic shifter to a manual clutch, i.e., a manual clutch with automatic shifting. 2. Manual-automatic integration: A manual shifting mode simulated on the basis of an automatic transmission.

Will the charging fan of a new energy vehicle keep running?

New energy vehicle charging fans will keep running. This is because charging the vehicle can easily cause the battery pack to overheat. When the internal sensors of the battery detect the temperature, they will send an alert to the BMS (Battery Management System). The BMS will then send a signal to the fan, which activates the fan control terminal, causing the fan to start spinning. Once the load exceeds a certain level, the noise from the vehicle's fan will become significantly louder. Reasons for noise during charging of new energy vehicles: The noise occurs because components converting current and voltage generate heat, triggering the cooling fan of the electronic control system. This is a normal phenomenon. If the ambient temperature is relatively low and heat dissipation is good, the fan may not start or operate at a low speed. However, if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the fan will start running. If the temperature surpasses 50 degrees, the fan will run at full speed, producing noticeable noise. Additionally, if the fan's quality is poor, the noise during operation will also be louder. Long-term use of new energy vehicles can lead to dust accumulation in the charging system, which may also produce louder noises. During charging, new energy vehicles generate static electricity, which attracts dust from the environment onto the charging system, impairing heat dissipation. As a result, the temperature rises immediately when the charging gun is plugged in, forcing the fan to operate at maximum speed continuously. To address this, it is advisable to clean the dust and lubricate the fan. If necessary, replacing the fan with a higher-quality one can help reduce noise.

Why can't the driver's seat of a Mercedes-Benz be adjusted?

Mercedes-Benz driver's seat adjustment failure is due to wiring issues. The following are the inspection and measurement procedures for the vehicle: 1. Inspection: Check the power supply and grounding of the right front seat fuse, both are normal; upon removing the connector of the right front seat control unit, signs of water corrosion were found on the connector, and visual inspection also revealed water corrosion on the right front seat control unit; check the air conditioning drainage outlet is normal, and the sky drainage is normal; inspect the front and rear carpets for no wetness or water accumulation, the right front door window lift operates normally; external water collection trough drainage is normal with no blockage, conduct a leak check at the right front door area of the vehicle, no signs of leakage were found. 2. Measurement: Measure the seat control unit wiring harness for no open or short circuits, power supply and grounding are normal, CAN line is normal; measure the right front seat adjustment switch wiring harness for no open or short circuits, the connector shows no corrosion, and the pins are properly connected without looseness.

Is an Annual Review of the Driver's License Still Required After Deducting Points Through Legal Study?

If the accumulated demerit points in the current scoring cycle are cleared through legal study, then Class A and B driver's licenses do not need to undergo a review by the traffic management department of the public security authority at the end of the scoring cycle. This is because deducting points through legal study clears the corresponding demerit records from the original points on the driver's license, rather than increasing the license's points to 18. Below is relevant information about deducting points through legal study: 1. No restrictions on license types: An A2 driver's license can use legal study to deduct points. The "Work Standards for Reducing Road Traffic Violation Points by Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" does not impose any restrictions on the type of driver's license. Therefore, whether it is a Class A, B, or C driver's license, those with demerit points can participate in the legal study point deduction program. 2. No restrictions on penalty pathways: Although the legal study point deduction program does not restrict the type of driver's license or the penalty pathways, if the driver's license is in the probationary period, participation in the legal study point deduction program is not allowed. Once the accumulated demerit points reach 6, the probationary period will be extended, and if the accumulated demerit points reach 12, the driver's license will be downgraded.

Is Modifying the Steering Wheel Illegal?

Modifying the steering wheel is not illegal. However, it may affect the annual inspection. It is recommended to switch back to the original steering wheel during the inspection. Below are the details regarding steering wheel modifications: Illegal Car Modifications: Modifying the car engine has always been considered illegal. While engine modifications can provide the car with additional power, they pose significant safety risks and may even shorten the engine's lifespan. If speed is a priority, it is advisable to choose a performance-oriented car from the outset rather than modifying it later. Considerations for Steering Wheel Modifications: First, installing a racing steering wheel does not involve altering the vehicle's power or structure, making it legally permissible. Second, changing to a racing steering wheel does not require registration, but it is best to revert to the original steering wheel for the annual inspection. From a safety perspective, modifying to a racing steering wheel is not recommended, as most racing steering wheels lack airbags, compromising safety in the event of a collision.

How to Check a 5-Year Driver's License Revocation?

To check a 5-year driver's license revocation, follow these steps: You need to visit the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority in the jurisdiction where the driver's license was originally issued. This will allow you to inquire about the specific reason for the revocation, whether you can retake the driver's license test, and obtain a new driver's license. Do not blindly register at a driving school. Additional information: If a driver's license is not renewed within three years after its expiration date, it will be permanently revoked, and this type of revocation cannot be reinstated. Driving a vehicle under such circumstances will be penalized as driving without a valid license. If certain conditions are met, you may reapply for a driver's license.
