Engine heat insulation cotton is necessary. It not only effectively slows down the aging of the paint surface but also prevents the rapid loss of temperature in the engine compartment, especially in winter. If the engine is turned off for a short period, the temperature may drop quickly. In such cases, the heat insulation cotton on the hood can reduce the damage to the engine when restarting it shortly after. Pros and cons of installing heat insulation cotton on the engine: 1. Pros: It protects the paint surface of the engine hood and provides heat insulation. 2. Cons: It may increase the load pressure on the overall radiator system.

What to Do When the Car Paint Gets Scratched?

If the car paint gets scratched, you can handle it based on the severity of the scratch: 1. For light scratches, polishing can be applied: Polishing is only suitable for minor scratches. However, moderate friction helps eliminate fine scratches. If done too frequently, it can thin the paint layer and eventually wear through it, which is counterproductive. Therefore, moderate polishing can protect the paint, but it should not be overdone. 2. For deeper scratches, touch-up paint is needed: This is for more severe scratches. If the scratched area is small and you are handy, you can purchase a touch-up pen and do it yourself. 3. For larger scratched areas: You will need to go to a repair shop. Depending on the situation, you can choose to repair it through insurance or pay out of pocket.

How to Start with a Spare Key?

For vehicles with a one-button start function, simply place the spare key in the induction area to start the car. If this feature is not available, you can use the spare key to start the ignition directly. Below is some knowledge about spare keys: 1. Alarm: Some car owners have experienced that the spare key can only unlock the door but not start the vehicle. This is because the spare key lacks an anti-theft chip, causing the car to fail to recognize the key and trigger an alarm. 2. Battery Replacement: The method for replacing the battery in a car key is generally similar. Most remote keys come with a mechanical key, and some keys have the mechanical part folded or hidden. If it's a folding type, after extending the mechanical key, you can see the buckle from the folding position. Use a tool to press the buckle, and you can then remove the outer shell.

What Causes Tire Bulging?

Tire bulging can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Impact or compression at the bulging area: The most common cause is when a car hits a curb at high speed or at an inappropriate angle. In such cases, there are usually signs of impact, such as scratches on the surface or white impact marks inside the tire at the bulging area. Careful inspection will reveal subtle differences. 2. Tire quality issues: One scenario is when the fabric cords inside the tire have quality defects, leading to insufficient local strength; another is when the joints between the cord layers are poorly processed. Bulging caused by quality issues will show no marks on the tire surface or inside at the bulging area. 3. Insufficient structural strength in low-cost tires: The tire market is highly competitive. To reduce costs, low-cost tires may use fewer layers of fabric or nylon or inferior-quality cord layers, compromising the tire's strength. Even minor impacts can cause bulging in such tires.

How to Power Off When Resting in a NIO Car

Here are the detailed instructions on how to power off when resting in a NIO car: 1. Turn off electrical functions: When you need to park and rest, you don't need to turn off the vehicle completely. If you want to reduce power consumption, you can choose to turn off the air conditioning and other electrical appliances inside the car. Even if you rest in the car with the air conditioning on, NIO's range will decrease but not significantly. Therefore, if you want to rest in the car, just shift to P gear, make sure the surrounding environment is safe, and then you can rest. 2. Lock the car and turn off the engine: To rest and lock the car, simply press the lock button on the key, and the vehicle will automatically turn off. Since electric vehicles do not have idling, very little power is lost when parked, so there is no need to set a one-button on/off switch.
