You should not continue driving with low engine oil level as it can cause engine wear. Reasons why you shouldn't drive: When the oil pressure is low, the oil cannot properly lubricate all engine components. If you continue driving, the internal engine parts will experience dry friction, leading to increased wear. In severe cases, this can cause component failure. Therefore, you must not drive when the oil pressure is too low. How to handle low engine oil level: If the engine oil level is low, you can simply add more oil to continue driving. However, when adding oil, make sure the level remains slightly below the mark on the dipstick.

How to Repair a Damaged Seat Belt?

Pull the upper end of the seat belt downward until the end of the belt is completely placed against the door frame. This releases the lock in the retractor, allowing the seat belt to be adjusted now. When the car is equipped with an automatic device, the seat belt cannot be locked, moved, or adjusted. The seat belt contains a pretensioner that only activates to stop suddenly in the event of a crash. Go to a 4S shop to purchase a replacement, or buy the parts and take them to a repair shop for replacement. Locate the seat wiring in the car, find the sensor wire of the buckle, and remove it.
