They are effective, but placing a dashboard mat on the dashboard can interfere with the normal deployment of the car's airbags, which can have very serious consequences. The following precautions should be noted when using sun shades: 1. Purchase genuine sun shades: Some dashboard materials are soft plastic, and using sun shades with inferior adhesive strips may cause corrosion. Always buy genuine sun shades or choose non-adhesive sun shades with good anti-slip effects. 2. Select vehicle-specific sun shades: Ensure that there are gaps in the necessary areas to avoid affecting airbag functionality. 3. Replace inferior products: If the sun shade emits an odor after sun exposure, it may be a substandard product and should be removed immediately.

How to Identify Temporary License Plates at Highway Toll Stations?

Temporary license plate identification method at highway toll stations: 1. Affix the temporary license plates as required, one on the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, and the other on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle; 2. When entering the highway toll station, use the manual lane where staff will issue a toll card. Similarly, when exiting the highway, use the manual lane, hand the card to the staff, complete the payment, and then exit. Whether at a manual card collection window or using a self-service card dispenser, always ensure the gear is in neutral and the handbrake is engaged. Many drivers forget to shift to neutral when taking the card, and with a slight press on the accelerator, the vehicle may lurch forward, potentially hitting the barrier arm, which is highly dangerous.

What Does Car Glazing Mean?

Car glazing involves using a soft wool or sponge with a high-speed vibrating and friction machine to forcefully penetrate glaze molecules into the surface of the car and the gaps in the paint, leveraging the glaze's unique permeability and adhesiveness. After glazing, the car's paint surface can achieve or even surpass the original paint effect, making older cars look newer and new cars appear brighter. It also provides features such as high-temperature resistance, sealing, oxidation resistance, enhanced gloss, washability, and corrosion resistance, laying a foundation for future car detailing, painting, and refurbishment. The glazing process includes: 1. Neutral cleaning; 2. Clay polishing; 3. Deep cleaning; 4. Vibrating and glazing; 5. Dust-free polishing.

Where to Check the Tire Manufacturing Date?

Tire manufacturing date is displayed on the sidewall of the tire, allowing car owners to easily check it themselves. For all tires produced after the year 2000, the last four digits of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) represent the tire's manufacturing date. Among these four digits, the last two indicate the year of production, while the first two represent the week of production. Tires are wear-prone components that require regular replacement. Additionally, tires have a warranty period; once this period is exceeded, even if the tire shows minimal wear, it should not be used further to avoid safety hazards. Such tires are generally considered overstock or inventory tires.

What does it mean when the i-stop yellow light is on?

i-stop yellow light indicates that the auto start-stop system is turned off. The solutions are: 1. Press the ignition switch twice without stepping on the brake; 2. Press the i-stop switch for 10 seconds; 3. Start the car and turn the steering wheel from the far left to the far right; 4. Turn off the engine and let it sit for more than 10 minutes. The working principle of the auto start-stop system is: When the car stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, and the driver steps on the brake pedal to stop and shift gears, the Start or Stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling and no gear is engaged, the wheel speed sensor of the anti-lock system shows zero, and the electronic electromagnetic sensor shows there is enough energy for the next start.

What is the correct shutdown procedure for one-button start?

The correct shutdown procedure for one-button start is as follows: Press and hold the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop; then shift the gear from D to N and engage the parking brake; release the foot brake but do not turn off the power, then continue pressing the foot brake, shift the gear from N to P, release the foot brake, press the one-button start button, the power turns off, and the shutdown is complete.
