When the car's air conditioning is turned on, water leaking from the chassis is a normal phenomenon. Here is relevant information: Principle: The refrigerant flows into the evaporator inside the car, absorbing the heat from the air inside the car through contact with the evaporator. It is then compressed and expanded again, repeating this cycle to gradually remove the heat from the air inside the car. Since the air contains a lot of water vapor, when it encounters the very cold evaporator, it turns into water, which then flows out from under the car's chassis. Maintenance Tips: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it is advisable to check the air conditioning system first. For example, inspect the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and check if there are any foreign objects in the radiator. The significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car in hot summer can cause the air conditioning system to become moldy, leading to the growth of mold.

What to Do About Car Resonance?

Here are solutions for car resonance: 1. Alter the cabin space by opening the windows. This reduces the humming noise by changing the air volume and allowing low-frequency noise to dissipate. Similarly, filling the car with items can also improve the situation. 2. Replace the engine mounts to attempt reducing resonance. 3. Adjust the connection points of the chassis subframe to lower resonance. 4. Perform comprehensive engine maintenance to minimize operational resonance. 5. Apply sound insulation and vibration damping treatment to the engine front axle to reduce resonance. Extended information about the causes of car resonance: 1. Prolonged vehicle use can cause the rubber in engine mounts to fatigue and age due to heat, easily leading to resonance, which may produce bumping friction noises in severe cases. 2. Engine misfire can also cause resonance phenomena. 3. Engine guard plate deformation or improper installation often leads to engine resonance, a relatively common issue. 4. Problems in the idle speed control system can cause car resonance.

Is it normal to hear abnormal noises when braking on snowy days?

It is normal to hear abnormal noises when braking on snowy days. The abnormal noises occur when braking on snowy days because the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is activated. When you brake hard on snowy days, the ABS activates, and the abnormal noises are a normal phenomenon. Introduction to ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS. The activation of ABS prevents vehicle skidding caused by sudden wheel lock-up. Function of ABS: During vehicle braking, ABS prevents the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface. Reasons for abnormal braking noises: Abnormal noises may occur due to rust or hard spots on the brake discs or pads, which usually happen when the vehicle first starts moving and may improve after a few more brake applications. Alternatively, the noises could be caused by the suspension system or pressure bearings. In cold and snowy weather, rubber components harden, and when braking, the rubber parts of the suspension system may produce abnormal noises, which should improve after the vehicle warms up. Another possible cause is a malfunctioning brake caliper, which may stick and cause abnormal noises.

Sedan Maintenance Schedule?

The maintenance cycle for cars varies depending on the model. Below is an introduction to the car maintenance cycle: 1. Different countries have different maintenance cycles: In China, it is generally recommended to perform maintenance every 5,000 kilometers, including oil and oil filter replacement. In regions like Europe, the U.S., and Japan, the maintenance cycle is longer, usually exceeding 10,000 kilometers. These areas have developed economies, beautiful environments, and good road conditions, allowing for extended maintenance cycles. In contrast, regions like China, Africa, and the Middle East, with harsh environments and poor road conditions, have shorter maintenance cycles, typically around 5,000 kilometers, though German and French cars may extend to 7,500 kilometers or more. 2. Air filter: The primary purpose of changing the oil and oil filter is to maintain the lubrication system. When changing the oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. Generally, vehicles require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. The air filter functions to filter air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities such as dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. Typically, it needs to be replaced when the vehicle has traveled 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers.

What is the Difference Between a Panoramic Sunroof and an Electric Sunroof?

Here is an introduction to the differences between a panoramic sunroof and an electric sunroof: 1. Different manufacturing costs: Panoramic Sunroof: Due to its larger size, the manufacturing cost of a panoramic sunroof is relatively higher. Electric Sunroof: A single sunroof has a smaller size, resulting in relatively lower manufacturing costs. 2. Different safety coefficients: Panoramic Sunroof: A panoramic sunroof reduces the overall rigidity of the vehicle body, leading to a lower safety coefficient. Electric Sunroof: A single sunroof does not affect the overall rigidity of the vehicle body, resulting in a relatively higher safety coefficient. Additional Information: 1. Better lighting: The large glass sunroof overhead provides excellent brightness. Especially during cloudy or rainy weather, or at dusk when lighting is poor, the interior brightness of a car with a panoramic sunroof is definitely higher than that of a car without one. Moreover, vehicles with panoramic sunroofs offer better visibility. 2. Good functionality: When driving at high speeds, opening the windows can create significant wind noise. However, closing the side windows and opening the sunroof allows for ventilation while significantly reducing noise.

What is the process for renewing a driver's license upon expiration?

The process for renewing a driver's license upon expiration is as follows: The motor vehicle driver must submit the required materials to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to apply for renewal. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after approval. Materials required for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two recent 1-inch color photos without headwear, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the vehicle management office). In addition to applying for renewal at the vehicle management office, you can also apply for renewal through the following methods: Renewal via the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Download the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, then select Service Center -- Expiration Renewal Service -- Fill in the information. The new license is usually delivered by mail. Visit the "Police-Medical-Post" service point at a postal business hall to complete the renewal process. The entire process, from registration to medical examination and new license production, takes only half an hour. Currently, only a few cities have launched this service, such as Hangzhou.
