Forcing the wipers to open when frozen may cause the car's fuse to blow. Introduction to car wipers: There are two types of wipers: the traditional intermittent type, which allows the driver to adjust according to the rain intensity and visibility conditions. Unlike the wipers installed on other ordinary cars, these can automatically adjust the wiping speed based on changes in vehicle speed. This is because, with the same amount of rainfall, the faster the speed, the more rainwater hits the windshield. Additionally, if the car stops, the wipers' reduced speed operation will minimize noise. Precautions for cleaning wipers: When washing the car or performing daily cleaning and lifting the wiper blades, hold the "back" of the wiper blade and gently place it back. Avoid snapping the blade back into place. During winter use, first use an ice scraper to remove ice chips from the windshield surface to avoid putting extra strain on the wipers. If dirt on the wipers is difficult to clean or the wipers themselves have issues, it's best to seek professional repair as soon as possible.

Can Modified Exhaust Pass Vehicle Inspection?

Modified exhaust cannot pass vehicle inspection. Reasons why modified exhaust cannot pass inspection: Changing a single exhaust to a fake dual exhaust, installing fake exhaust pipes, or replacing the tailpipe with a larger diameter are all considered alterations to the vehicle's appearance. Any illegal modifications will fail the annual inspection. Vehicle modification considerations: Since regulations on vehicle modifications are very strict, many modified cars on the road are illegally modified and not within the legally permitted range. These vehicles must be restored to their original condition before the annual inspection to ensure they do not affect the vehicle's safety performance and can pass the inspection by the vehicle management office. Otherwise, the vehicle management department will not issue a vehicle compliance certificate, making it illegal to drive on the road.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BMW 320li?

2022 BMW 320li has a total of 9 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and all models use an 8-speed automatic transmission (AT). The vehicle lineup features both front-engine rear-wheel drive and front-engine all-wheel drive configurations. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Audi A4L 35 TFSI Fashion Dynamic model has a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters, while the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (facelift) C 200 L Sport Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.

Can a Mortgaged Car Be Driven for a Lifetime? Is It Legally Protected?

Mortgaged cars cannot be driven for a lifetime, but they are legally protected. Mortgaged cars are legally protected: This is a restricted form of legal protection. In a loan agreement, if the borrower provides a vehicle as collateral and fails to repay the loan by the due date, the lender can take possession of the mortgaged vehicle and has the right to use it. Once the borrower repays the outstanding amount, the lender must return the vehicle to the borrower. Methods of vehicle mortgage: Mortgaged cars are divided into fully paid mortgaged cars and non-fully paid mortgaged cars. Fully paid mortgaged cars generally have their loans fully repaid, but the owner is unwilling or unable to repay the financial company and does not cooperate with the transfer of ownership. Therefore, the financial company can legally transfer the debt, making the purchase of such mortgaged cars safe. Non-fully paid mortgaged cars, however, are still under mortgage status with the vehicle management office and the bank. If the owner sells such a car privately, it is illegal and should not be purchased.

What Causes the Coolant Refill Prompt in Mercedes-Benz?

Common causes of antifreeze leakage in Mercedes-Benz vehicles include: aging or damage to the cylinder head gasket, aging or damage to the return hose, damage and leakage in the auxiliary water tank, and leaks in the sealing rings on the coolant pipes, which may be accompanied by an increase in engine oil level. How far can you drive when prompted about low coolant: The reduction in coolant varies for each individual—some due to normal consumption, others due to leakage. Therefore, it's impossible to determine exactly how far you can drive. However, continuing to drive after the refill prompt will likely trigger a "coolant high-temperature warning," followed by an "engine high-temperature warning." If you suddenly receive a "refill coolant" prompt while driving and don’t have any spare coolant on hand, you’ll have to keep moving forward. In this case, pay close attention to high-temperature warnings. Once the "coolant high-temperature warning" appears, pull over and take a break, then drive a short distance and stop again until you reach a repair shop. Throughout this process, always monitor whether an "engine high-temperature warning" appears. If it occurs within a very short distance, it’s best to wait for roadside assistance.
