Car key plastic shells can be replaced. Stores that specialize in car key duplication can replace them, and if you know how to disassemble the shell, you can also purchase a new shell online and replace it yourself. The components of a car key are as follows: 1. Chip: The car starts by relying on the chip. If the car fails to start after modification, it is likely because the chip was not properly transferred. The chip contains an induction coil and is automatically charged. Different cars have different chips, so extra care must be taken when transferring the chip during modification. 2. Remote: This is straightforward—it is used to lock and unlock the car doors. 3. Metal head: All replacement shells come with a new metal head, but the owner must take it to a key duplication shop to have the teeth cut.

How many types of engines does the Lavida have?

Lavida has three types of engines, and here is an extended introduction to them: 1. These three engines are the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, the 1.2L turbocharged engine, and the 1.4L turbocharged engine. Among them, the model number of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is EA211-DMB, the model number of the 1.2L turbocharged engine is EA211-DJN, and the model number of the 1.4L turbocharged engine is EA211-DJS. 2. All three of Lavida's engines come from Volkswagen's EA211 engine platform. They all use aluminum cylinder blocks, which further reduces weight and improves heat dissipation. Therefore, the car has good fuel economy, relatively low fuel consumption, and strong power.

How to Deal with Foggy Windows Inside the Car?

Here are the solutions for foggy windows inside the car: 1. Open windows for air circulation. If the fog is not severe, slightly open the side windows to create air convection between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference and gradually dissipates the fog. The principle is similar to using the air conditioner's cold air, but this method does not increase fuel consumption. 2. Use the air conditioning system. There are air vents under the front windshield. Simply adjust the air conditioner to the appropriate setting to use the airflow to defog the windows. (1) Turn on the air conditioner's cooling function. The cold air directed at the front windshield will quickly remove the fog, with immediate effect. However, the biggest drawback is that the occupants may feel very cold. In the already chilly winter, the discomfort of cold air blowing can be unpleasant. Moreover, the fog may reappear after turning off the cooling function. (2) Using warm air to defog the windows is more effective than using cold air. However, since the water temperature is low when the car is first started, it takes some time for the air conditioner to blow warm air, making this method slower than using cold air. 3. Use anti-fog spray. Spray the anti-fog solution onto the inner surface of the car windows and wipe it clean. This not only removes dirt but also forms a protective film to prevent water vapor from condensing on the glass and forming fog. One application can prevent fogging for about ten days.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires?

Wheel alignment is not necessary after changing tires for the following reasons: 1. Replacing the rims and tires only affects the overall dynamic balance of the wheels and has no impact on the suspension. 2. Changing rims and tires merely alters the properties of the wheels, requiring only dynamic balancing, whereas wheel alignment pertains to the suspension's properties—these are two different matters. 3. Whether changing tires or rims, as long as the size remains consistent, wheel alignment is not required. Wheel alignment is necessary under the following circumstances: 1. After collision repairs. 2. After replacing the steering system or its components. 3. After replacing or adjusting the suspension system. 4. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires. 5. The steering wheel feels excessively heavy, floats, or shakes while driving. 6. The car pulls to the left or right when driving straight.

Which gear is the reverse gear in an automatic transmission?

In an automatic transmission car, the reverse gear is the R gear. Below is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P-Parking, the parking gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, at which time the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R-Reverse, the reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N-Neutral, the neutral gear, used when temporarily stopping the car. To prevent the car from rolling on a slope, always step on the brake; 4. D-Drive, the forward gear, also known as the driving gear, used when moving forward; 5. L-Low, the low gear. When going downhill or on a long slope, shifting to this gear limits the car's gear to the lowest gear (equivalent to the first gear in a manual transmission car), allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, so the driver does not have to step on the brake for a long time, which could cause the brake pads to overheat and lead to danger; 6. S-Sport, indicating sports mode. When shifting into this gear, the gears can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high speed for a period of time to increase the car's power.

What are the classifications of ignition systems?

Ignition systems are divided into conventional ignition systems and electronic ignition systems. The ignition system is an important component of gasoline engines, and its performance significantly affects engine power, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions. All equipment capable of generating an electric spark between the two electrodes of a spark plug is referred to as the engine's "ignition system." It typically consists of a battery, generator, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plug, among other components. More details are as follows: 1. In gasoline engines, when compression is near the top dead center, the combustible mixture is ignited by the spark plug, thereby burning to perform external work. For this reason, gasoline engine combustion chambers are equipped with spark plugs. 2. The function of the ignition system is to generate an electric spark with sufficient energy between the two electrodes of the spark plug in accordance with the working sequence of the cylinders.

Does Changing Car Wheels Affect Annual Inspection?

Replacing car wheels with different ones from the original will affect the annual inspection, while using identical replacements will not. Here are some details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Any unauthorized modifications to a vehicle's chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tires and wheels, lights, body color painting, exterior structure, or any technical data that does not match the specifications announced by the State Council's automotive product authority are considered modifications. 2. Vehicle annual inspection is a mandatory examination for all vehicles, akin to a health check-up for cars. It aims to promptly identify and eliminate potential safety hazards, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents, commonly referred to as vehicle inspection.
