Asphalt remover can damage car paint. Here are some additional details: 1. Tar cleaner: To remove asphalt from your car, it is recommended to use a specialized tar cleaner. Tar cleaner is a powerful cleaning agent with certain corrosive properties. Prolonged residue of tar cleaner can corrode car paint. After using tar cleaner to remove asphalt from your car, rinse it with clean water to avoid any cleaner residue. 2. Main components of asphalt: The main components of asphalt are hydrocarbons, which are hydrophobic materials that are insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. Specialized tar cleaners can quickly penetrate and dissolve asphalt, effectively cleaning tar and asphalt stains from car bodies and wheel hubs, providing excellent stain removal, cleaning, and polishing effects.

What are the causes of abnormal touch alerts in the Envision?

The causes of abnormal touch alerts in the Envision include insufficient engine oil, excessively high engine temperature, engine misfire, severe engine carbon buildup, and low fuel quality. Solution for excessively high engine temperature: When dealing with engine overheating, the usual approach is to check and add coolant. For other issues such as water pump or thermostat malfunctions, it is necessary to request assistance. Solution for severe engine carbon buildup: Adding fuel additives: The amine compounds in fuel additives can clean carbon deposits and other substances that accumulate in the engine system over time. Regular use in small amounts can inhibit carbon buildup and reduce engine abnormalities caused by it. Some fuel additives can also improve the octane rating of the fuel to a certain extent, reducing or eliminating engine knocking caused by insufficient octane levels. Regular throttle body cleaning: Owners only need to prepare a bottle of carburetor cleaner. Spraying the cleaner on the throttle body and intake manifold can clean the throttle body. If the carbon buildup is too severe, professional maintenance personnel should be consulted for handling.

Should temporary license plates be obtained by oneself or through the 4S store?

When applying for temporary license plates, the vehicle owner can handle the process themselves or have the 4S store act as an agent, depending on the agreement between both parties. Below is relevant information about temporary license plates: 1. Concept: Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle license plates that permit temporary road use, also known as temporary driving license plates. They are temporary vehicle operation certificates issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. 2. Classification: There are four types: temporary license plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special-type motor vehicles. Driving a newly purchased car to apply for temporary license plates and being stopped by traffic police halfway, resulting in a 12-point deduction, is unnecessary. In fact, the vehicle does not need to be present to apply for temporary license plates; as long as the procedures are complete, the person applying can handle it alone.

What Causes the Engine to Stall When Braking in Neutral?

It is generally caused by low idle speed. Here is the relevant information: 1. P (Parking) gear, starting gear: When you park the car, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The P gear should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) gear: Used for reversing. Unlike manual transmission cars, automatic transmission cars cannot use semi-clutch, so special attention should be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. Usually, you need to press the safety button on the lever to move it to the "R" gear. Never force the lever into the "R" gear before the vehicle has completely stopped, as this can severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, you must keep the brake pedal pressed.
