Dash cams can be used when the vehicle is parked, as long as the engine is not turned off and power is not cut. After parking and turning off the engine, the dash cam will automatically shut down and stop recording. Dash Cam: An instrument that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also be used to document the journey through challenging terrains. While driving, it continuously records video, simultaneously capturing the time, speed, and location in the footage. It can also be used at home as a DV to record life's joyful moments or serve as a home surveillance device. Additionally, it can function as a parking monitor when installed. Built-in Battery Installation: Many dash cams come with built-in batteries, but the capacity of these batteries is usually very small. Dash cams without parking monitoring will automatically record when the vehicle is parked and turned off, but the recording duration is very brief. The purpose of the built-in battery is to provide power for the dash cam's startup and shutdown functions, primarily for emergency use.

How to Fix a Car Door Latch That Won't Spring Back?

When a car door latch fails to spring back, it is usually due to misalignment between the latch and the striker plate. You can use a tool like a screwdriver to gently adjust the latch, then close the door to test the fit until it functions properly. Rust on the latch hook can also prevent the door latch from springing back. Purchase a can of rust remover or apply grease to the latch hook and striker plate inside the door. Repeatedly open and close the door to distribute the lubricant evenly. If the latch hook is misaligned, the entire door may need adjustment. It is recommended to visit a repair shop or authorized dealership for inspection and repair. Try using the spare mechanical key. Typically, remote keys contain a hidden mechanical key inside. Drivers should develop the habit of manually checking each door after locking the car to ensure all doors are securely locked, preventing unnecessary property loss due to oversight.

What is the solution for the Peugeot 3008 burning engine oil?

The solution for the Peugeot 3008 burning engine oil is to take it to a professional repair shop for maintenance. Reasons: Engine oil burning occurs when the clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls is too large, the piston rings are improperly installed, or their sealing performance deteriorates, causing oil on the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. Poor sealing performance of the valve seals, damage to the crankcase forced ventilation valve, or blockage of the crankcase ventilation port, which increases the pressure inside the crankcase, can also cause oil to enter the cylinder along with the crankcase gases and participate in combustion. Peugeot 3008: The vehicle's length, width, and height are 4435mm, 1840mm, and 1652mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2613mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and has a minimum ground clearance of 178mm. The 2019 Peugeot 3008 has a fuel tank capacity of 60L, a maximum torque of 245nm, a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension, a rear suspension of torsion beam non-independent suspension, and a maximum torque speed range of 1400 to 4000 rpm.
