Car sunroofs can get damaged if not opened for a long time. If not used for an extended period, proper maintenance should be performed to prevent rubber seal aging and water leakage. Functions of sunroofs: 1. Changing traditional ventilation methods; 2. Preventing exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle; 3. Reducing wind noise; 4. Quickly lowering the interior temperature; 5. Rapidly removing interior fogging; 6. Expanding the field of vision. Sunroof maintenance methods: 1. Regularly clean the mechanical parts of the sunroof with engine oil or lubricant; 2. Periodically clean around the sliding rails to avoid sand particle accumulation and extend the lifespan of the sunroof seals; 3. Check for obstacles on the roof that may hinder the glass panel operation before opening the sunroof.

What is the normal position of coolant in the radiator?

Coolant is at a normal level when it is between the max and min marks in the radiator, which can be checked at the coolant filler reservoir. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 2 years, with a replacement volume of 4 to 5 liters. After replacement, the cooling system should be bled. Open the hood and look for a symbol resembling a triangular thermometer—this indicates the coolant reservoir. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a type of cooling liquid containing special additives. The main component of most antifreeze is ethylene glycol, as it has a high boiling point and low freezing point, ensuring the car operates normally in cold climates without freezing and also helps cool the engine at high temperatures. It is an essential automotive product.

How Long is the Validity Period for Driver's License Renewal?

Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. When applying, they must fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form'. How long after expiration does a driver's license become invalid: Time regulations: If the license has expired for less than one year, it can be renewed normally; if it has expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but renewal is possible by passing the subject one test; if it has expired for more than three years, the license becomes invalid and cannot be renewed. Conditions for renewal: Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses who have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or holders of other types of driver's licenses who have less than 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle. Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses who have demerit points in one scoring cycle, and holders of other types of driver's licenses who have been involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their license revoked, provided they have completed the required review education. The applicant has no outstanding road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents. The applicant's physical condition meets the driving license requirements. The motor vehicle driver's license is not under circumstances of being legally seized, detained, temporarily suspended, revoked, canceled, or rescinded.

What is the normal temperature for antifreeze?

Antifreeze normally operates at a temperature of 90 degrees, and the temperature display may increase after prolonged use. Antifreeze, also known as antifreeze coolant, prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used throughout the year. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion all year round. Currently, over 95% of antifreeze used domestically and internationally is ethylene glycol-based aqueous antifreeze. Compared to tap water, ethylene glycol's most notable feature is its antifreeze properties, whereas water cannot prevent freezing.

What Are the Common Faults of the Coolant Temperature Sensor?

Common faults of the coolant temperature sensor include: 1. Changes in thermistor performance; 2. Poor line contact or open circuit; 3. No coolant temperature signal or inaccurate signal from the ECU; 4. The cooling fan does not rotate; 5. The temperature gauge does not indicate. Methods to determine if the coolant temperature sensor is damaged are: 1. Use a digital resistance simulator to simulate the coolant temperature and compare it with the actual situation; 2. Use an infrared thermometer to test the actual temperature of the coolant sensor and compare it with the temperature gauge. The functions of the coolant temperature sensor are: 1. To drive the change of the temperature gauge by altering the current passing through the sensor via changes in internal resistance, indirectly reflecting the engine's operating temperature; 2. To provide the engine control unit with an analog signal of temperature changes.

Where to Get the Novice Driver Sign for Vehicles?

Vehicle novice driver signs can be obtained from the vehicle management office, or you can download and print them yourself, but they must comply with the specifications. The main color of the novice driver sign is yellow, with orange-red as the secondary color, and the word "Novice" is in bold 250-point Kai font. The novice driver sticker is used to mark vehicles driven by new drivers, serving as a warning to other vehicles to prevent safety accidents such as rear-end collisions. According to the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China (State Council Order No. 405), the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a motor vehicle driver's license is the probationary period. During this period, a uniform-style novice driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle.

Is it necessary to install a car anti-theft device?

If the vehicle is not equipped with anti-theft technology, it is recommended to install an anti-theft device. Many cars nowadays come pre-installed with an onboard computer anti-theft system from the factory. The engine will only start when the key chip data matches the pre-stored data in the onboard computer, which then notifies the relevant systems to begin operation. Cars with built-in onboard computer anti-theft systems do not require additional anti-theft devices. The steps for installing a car anti-theft device are as follows: 1. Confirm the ignition wire: When connecting the circuit breaker, first identify the ignition wire, fuel pump control wire, and starter wire before deciding which circuit to disconnect (disconnecting the starter wire will disable the anti-hijacking function). The ON wire input of the anti-theft main unit should be connected to the upper end of the disconnected circuit. Alternatively, it can be separately connected to a wire that has a positive 12V power supply when the car key is in the ON position. 2. Find a suitable location to install the main unit: Carefully observe the structure of the decorative panels, as wiring connections may require disassembling them. Wear work gloves if possible to avoid dirtying the interior decorations. 3. When connecting the door switch detection wire, always connect it to the dome light control bus: Do not connect it to the left front door or the door switch wire, as the main door switch wire and other door switch wires are isolated by diodes and do not interconnect. This prevents the issue of the alarm not triggering when a rear door is opened after setting the anti-theft system.
