Water damage to the steering gear requires proof of heavy rain; otherwise, compensation will not be provided. Below is relevant information about insurance claims: 1. Basic Introduction: Articles 22 and 23 of the Insurance Law stipulate that when requesting compensation or insurance benefits from the insurer after an insured event occurs, the policyholder, insured, or beneficiary must provide the insurer with all available evidence and materials related to confirming the nature, cause, and extent of the loss of the insured event. 2. Claim Methods: After an insured event occurs, insurance companies settle claims with policyholders in two ways according to the insurance contract: indemnity and payment. Indemnity corresponds to property insurance, referring to the compensation made by the insurance company based on the extent of damage to the insured property at the time of the event, within the insurance limit, for the loss suffered by the insured. Insurance indemnity is compensatory in nature, meaning it only compensates for the actual loss, up to the value of the damaged property, and never exceeds its value.

Is it okay to turn on the air conditioning without AC?

It is possible to turn on the air conditioning without AC, but in this case, the air conditioning will blow warm air, as the warm air utilizes the car's internal circulation to heat the interior and is unrelated to the air conditioning compressor switch (AC). Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Function: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin to optimal conditions, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creating good working conditions for the driver. It serves as an important ventilation device for ensuring safe driving. 2. Composition: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. 3. Layout: The layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly.

Is Cleaning an Oxygen Sensor Useful?

Here are two scenarios regarding oxygen sensor cleaning: 1. If the tip of the oxygen sensor turns black due to carbon deposits, cleaning is effective. 2. A white or brown tip indicates oxygen sensor poisoning—the former due to silicon poisoning and the latter due to lead poisoning. In these cases, cleaning is ineffective, and the sensor must be replaced promptly. Observing the color of the oxygen sensor tip can help diagnose the issue: 1. Light gray tip: Normal color for an oxygen sensor. 2. White tip: Caused by silicon contamination; the oxygen sensor must be replaced. 3. Brown tip: Caused by lead contamination; the oxygen sensor must be replaced. 4. Black tip: Caused by carbon deposits; after addressing the engine carbon deposit issue, the deposits can be cleared automatically.

Can a Car Inverter Boil Water?

Car inverters can boil water. When using high-power electrical equipment, start the car at intervals to charge the battery. For outdoor operations requiring high-power electrical equipment, the inverter can be directly connected to the battery. Be sure not to deplete the battery's power completely, as this may prevent the vehicle from starting. Here is more information about car inverters: 1. A car inverter is a device that converts DC12V direct current into AC220V alternating current, similar to household electricity, for use with general electrical appliances. It is a convenient power converter for vehicles. 2. Common specifications of car inverter products on the market include: (1) Input voltage: DC10V~14.5V. (2) Output voltage: AC200V~220V±10%. (3) Output frequency: 50Hz±5%. (4) Output power: 70W~150W. (5) Conversion efficiency: greater than 85%. (6) Inverter operating frequency: 30kHz~50kHz.

Will Randomly Tapping the Brake in Subject Three Lead to Deduction?

In the Subject Three driving test, randomly tapping the brake will not lead to deduction, as the purpose of tapping the brake is to decelerate, and deceleration can be performed at any time during driving. However, it is recommended that candidates avoid unnecessary braking to prevent excessive deceleration, which may cause a mismatch between speed and gear, leading to the risk of failing the test. It is essential to drive the vehicle correctly. During the Subject Three test, encountering oncoming vehicles requires tapping the brake. For most drivers in many regions, the assessment during such encounters involves braking to decelerate. In certain specific scenarios, failing to tap the brake may result in point deductions. Drivers should also note that there are several situations where braking is mandatory, such as near bus stops, at red light intersections, in school zones, at pedestrian crossings, and during vehicle encounters. Candidates should thoroughly review the Subject Three materials to aim for passing the test on their first attempt. Precautions for braking in the Subject Three test: On flat roads with light traffic and speeds above 30 km/h, a brief application of the brake pedal is sufficient for short-term deceleration, and there is no need to depress the clutch pedal. For higher speeds, it is advisable to apply the brake 2-3 times, pressing and releasing alternately. The pressure on the brake pedal should be gentle; avoid stomping on it unless in an emergency. Situations such as passing bus stops, school zones, stopping at red lights, in traffic jams, parking, or making U-turns require shifting to a lower gear while simultaneously depressing both the clutch and brake pedals. To ensure the system recognizes the brake application, candidates should maintain pressure on the brake pedal for at least 2 seconds (commonly referred to as dragging the brake) to prevent the system from failing to detect the brake input and causing a misjudgment.

What is the principle of an automobile throttle?

Here are the principles of two types of throttles: 1. Traditional throttle. The control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. 2. Electronic throttle. Through the throttle position sensor, based on the engine's required energy, it controls the throttle opening angle to regulate the amount of air intake. The following is an introduction to the throttle: The throttle is a valve that controls the air entering the engine, connected above to the air filter and below to the engine block. Air enters the intake pipe, mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work.

What are the installation steps for the ETC device?

ETC device installation on the windshield involves the following steps: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation location. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to eliminate any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth directly. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag), then navigate to the device activation interface. Click on "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.
