The door light definitely consumes power if it stays on, but the power consumption is not significant. If the door warning light remains on, it indicates that the door is not properly closed. First, check if each door is securely closed by opening and then firmly closing it again. Next, inspect the door sensors one by one to see if any are malfunctioning and replace them if necessary. Below is relevant information: Closing the door: The switches for car doors and windows are powered by the battery, so it's best to close all windows before turning off the engine, shut the doors after turning off the engine, and use the long-press lock button to secure the doors after leaving the vehicle. Turn off the air conditioning and audio before shutting down: The air conditioning system involves the compressor, blower, and audio, which are high-power electrical devices. Not turning them off before shutting down the engine can place a heavy burden on the battery and cause damage. Avoid long-term parking: The car battery will automatically discharge if the vehicle is left unused for extended periods. The vehicle should be used regularly to prevent automatic battery discharge issues.

Is Tire Hot Patching Safe?

Tire hot patching is safe. Here is some extended information: 1. Hot patching: A tire repair method where the tire is first removed, then the leaking area is ground with a grinding wheel, typically into a square shape. Next, the adhesive patch is heated with a flame to ensure better adhesion to the leaking spot. After application, professional tools are used to grind the patch for a tighter fit. 2. Rubber plug: The most common tire repair method involves inserting a special rubber plug into the punctured area. Repair shop technicians often refer to this as 'gun-type' repair. 3. Cold patching: A common tire leak repair method. First, locate the puncture on the tire, remove the tire from the rim, grind the inner surface of the puncture area, apply a special adhesive, attach a dedicated tire repair patch, and finally use tools to press and secure it firmly, completing the repair. 4. Mushroom plug: Similar to cold patching, but the final step involves pulling the plug through the puncture hole to seal it, preventing water ingress that could damage steel belts and fabric layers. This method is relatively more expensive and is generally used for larger punctures.

What is the service life of a car?

Generally, the normal service life of a car is around 8-10 years. With proper maintenance, the service life can be extended further. Typically, private cars should be scrapped after 15 years of use or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. However, there are no mandatory scrapping regulations for non-commercial household private cars. As long as the vehicle meets the annual inspection standards, it can still be used normally. For commercial vehicles, the government will guide their scrapping once they reach the designated service life. The lifespan of a car is influenced by many factors, including wear and corrosion, dirt accumulation and deterioration, aging of non-metallic components such as rubber and plastic, material fatigue, deformation of parts or poor manufacturing quality, improper operation or misuse, incorrect maintenance, and traffic accidents. When using a car, owners should perform regular maintenance. A minor maintenance should be done every 5,000 kilometers, the front and rear wheels should be rotated every 30,000 kilometers, and the tires should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. At the same time, driving habits should be as standardized as possible to prevent traffic accidents.
