It is not advisable to drive on the highway with a cracked car windshield for the following reasons: 1. Air may enter the glass interlayer, causing delamination; 2. High speeds increase the pressure on the windshield, which can expand the crack area, impair visibility, and compromise driving safety. Methods to maintain a car windshield include: 1. Using specialized or appropriate wiper blades and replacing them promptly; 2. Keeping the front windshield clean; 3. Using automotive-specific glass cleaner. The repair method for a cracked car windshield is: 1. Clean and wipe the area around the crack; 2. Use tape to outline the crack to define the repair area; 3. Use a grinding disc to remove the crack, then polish the glass with polishing compound to restore clarity.

How to Adjust the Brightness of the 2021 Lavida Dashboard Lights?

The brightness of the Lavida dashboard lights cannot be adjusted. The dashboard lights are automatically regulated. A black screen on the dashboard lights serves as a reminder for the driver to turn on the headlights. The dashboard lights automatically sense and adjust their brightness—bright during the day and dim when entering a tunnel, requiring the headlights to be turned on. Below is relevant information about dashboard lights: 1. Indicator Lights: The most common lights encountered while driving, such as turn signals, parking lights, etc. Their purpose is to indicate the status of various vehicle functions. 2. Warning Lights: These have an alert function, such as the fuel indicator light, door status indicator light, seat belt indicator light, etc. Generally, warning lights turn off after the driver performs the corresponding action. For example, the seat belt indicator light will turn off once the seat belt is fastened. 3. Malfunction Indicator Lights: These are the most critical indicator lights, such as the generator malfunction indicator light, transmission malfunction indicator light, etc. These malfunction indicator lights rarely illuminate under normal circumstances or may briefly light up when starting the engine before turning off. If a malfunction indicator light remains on and is accompanied by a warning sound, it indicates that the vehicle has developed a fault or abnormality.

Do I need to cut the car film for ETC?

ETC does not require cutting the car film. Possible installation positions for ETC: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; The installation angle N should be between 30º-90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane). The ETC device installation process is as follows: After receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card", indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the OBU adhesive backing and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device.

What are the causes of BYD Han malfunctions?

BYD Han malfunction causes: EV power limitation failure. At least three cases of vehicles stalling due to EV power limitation have been publicly reported. Since the original posts were deleted with no follow-up resolution reports, the actual causes remain unknown. It is speculated that damage to certain modules may prevent motor startup. Another issue involves microswitch failures in vehicle unlocking, likely caused by the vehicle's inability to recognize the remote key. This can be resolved by opening the engine compartment, disconnecting power for 15 minutes, and restarting. For instrument cluster black screens or infotainment system reboots, remain calm and wait for the reboot to complete - normal function typically resumes. These issues are possibly caused by chip overheating or conflicts between the native Android system and certain apps, hence installing too many applications is not recommended. Failures in recognizing large-capacity storage cards are also attributed to the outdated Qualcomm 625 chip. It's advisable to use the official 8GB card instead, though certain brands' 64GB cards may work - check the card slot temperature and verify their durability and read/write speeds. Testing shows formatting large cards as FAT32 enables recognition, but they tend to overheat, operate slowly, and are prone to damage. Center console noises are likely caused by thermal expansion/contraction stress from extreme temperatures, with no apparent solution. Reverse camera green screens or erratic radar alerts represent the most frequent ADAS sensor failures, which may recur even after dealership service, suggesting potential software-related factors.

Are Fuel System Additives Useful?

Adding fuel additives can have certain benefits. Fuel additives can help remove carbon deposits, improve atomization, reduce wear, protect the engine, and lower emissions, among other functions. The differences in fuel quality between domestic and international markets have led to the accumulation of carbon deposits in many vehicles over time. These deposits adhere to fuel injectors, fuel lines, and engine walls, causing various issues such as reduced power and abnormal engine vibrations. More details are as follows: 1. Many modern engines are direct-injection types, which require the use of fourth-generation cleaning additives. Using traditional or low-quality additives may lead to poor atomization in the fuel injectors, inadequate heat dissipation, and a tendency for engine knocking. Therefore, if you're unsure, it's better not to use them. 2. Additionally, the sales channels for fuel additives are mixed in quality. According to surveys, consumers primarily purchase fuel additives from 4S shops, gas stations, and e-commerce websites. The variety of fuel additives sold online is vast, with significant price differences, yet their functions are largely similar.
