Rim deformation can be repaired, but it is not recommended. After repair, there may be hidden damages inside the rim that are invisible to the naked eye, which can pose safety hazards. It is advisable to replace the rim with a brand new one. Rim repair is not a universal solution and cannot fix all levels of damage. Rim damage is usually caused by external forces acting on aluminum alloy rims. Below are the reasons for rim deformation: 1. Surface damage: Mainly includes wear and scratches on the rim surface; 2. Deformation damage: The rim becomes deformed or twisted under external forces; 3. Fracture damage: The rim suffers varying degrees of fractures after severe impacts.

What to Do When a Roewe Car Won't Start Due to Dead Battery?

Push-starting is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method, but it is a last resort and should not be used frequently as it can damage the engine. If you have another vehicle and jumper cables available, you can also use the battery jump-start method to start the car. The method and principle of tow-starting are similar to push-starting, but using a tow vehicle is often more effortless and convenient. This method requires a tow rope of appropriate length. Car emergency power banks work similarly to phone power banks—simply charge the car when the battery is dead to start it.

Can a Manual Transmission Converted to Automatic Pass Annual Inspection?

Converting a manual transmission to automatic cannot pass annual inspection as it constitutes illegal vehicle modification. Modification Requirements: When modifying vehicle colors, three colors are reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used: red for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white-over-blue for national administrative law enforcement. Modifications to the body, frame, or engine are only permitted if the original components are irreparably damaged or have quality defects. For such modifications, documentation from a repair shop and proof of origin for the replacement engine, body, or frame must be submitted. Modification Regulations: Widening tires or modifying the intake and exhaust systems are prohibited. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" by the Ministry of Public Security, altering tire specifications, intake systems, or exhaust systems on in-use vehicles are not permitted modifications. Such changes may affect engine power and compromise driving safety.

How to Pull Out the Middle Seat Belt in the Back Seat?

If the above two methods are not feasible, it is likely that there is a mechanical issue where the seat belt connects inside the car, in which case repairs will be necessary.
