A-pillar has been reinforced. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: The 2020 Mazda6 Atenza exhibited some bending of the A-pillar during collisions, which further affected the connection points between the B-pillar and the roof. As the impact energy propagated rearward, slight deformation also occurred at the rear door and C-pillar areas. For the 2021 model, sales consultants mentioned that the A-pillar strength has been enhanced. Specific details can be verified through crash test results. Notes: According to the official overall evaluation from crash tests, the Mazda6 Atenza scored 'Average' in low-speed collision resistance and repair economy, while receiving a 'Good' rating for occupant safety. The 25% small overlap front crash test was rated 'Average', with all other individual categories scoring 'Excellent'.

How to Repair Leather Seats Damaged by Cigarette Burns?

Methods to repair leather seats damaged by cigarette burns: 1. Find a piece of leather that matches the color of the seat and trim it neatly; 2. Use fine sandpaper to smooth the area, then proceed with the repair; 3. After smoothing, apply leather glue to the back of the damaged edge and the front of the leather patch, fix it in place, and wait for the glue to dry. If the seat damage is too severe to repair, it is recommended to take it to a professional repair shop. If it is truly beyond repair, consider replacing the seat or covering it with a seat cover. If the car seat only has surface scratches or minor abrasions, first clean the damaged area thoroughly to remove any dust. If the damage is very minor, you can directly apply leather finishing paste to the seat. The amount applied should not be excessive; it should be level with the seat surface.

Can a 4S shop do touch-up painting?

4S shops can perform touch-up painting. If the damaged paint area is relatively small, a touch-up usually covers an area about the size of a palm. 4S shops are equipped with more advanced and professional tools, use higher-quality paint, and have more precise color-matching capabilities, giving them an advantage in paint mixing and color matching. Here are some additional details: 1. For small paint damage, you can use a dedicated touch-up pen designed for your specific vehicle model to apply a small amount, which helps prevent rust and avoids the need for extensive touch-up work. 2. For minor scratches, such as those caused by tree branches or car washing, applying car wax multiple times can help reduce the appearance of most scratches. 3. If the vehicle has noticeable scratches or the paint is chipped down to the primer, immediate repair is necessary to prevent the metal from rusting, which could lead to large-scale corrosion over time.

What does R18 on the wheel mean?

R18 on the wheel indicates that the car's tires are radial tires, configured for 18-inch rims. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, working together with the suspension system to cushion the impact forces experienced during driving, ensuring good comfort and smooth operation. Tires can be categorized by structure into radial tires and bias-ply tires; by tread pattern into rib pattern tires, transverse pattern tires, and mixed pattern tires; and by size into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size spare tires have specifications identical to the tires used on the car, while non-full-size tires have smaller diameters and widths and can only be used temporarily as substitutes, with a speed limit not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Buick GL8 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the old Buick GL8 is 77 liters, while the newer models have a slightly smaller fuel tank capacity. Introduction to nominal capacity: The fuel tank capacity varies for each vehicle model. However, most car manufacturers follow a general rule that the full tank capacity typically supports a driving range of around 600 kilometers, and not less than 500 kilometers. The nominal capacity is smaller than the actual refueling volume because manufacturers leave some extra space in the nominal capacity to account for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank. Methods to check car fuel tank capacity: Generally, it is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard has 5-6 segments, each representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. It is advisable to refuel when the fuel gauge shows two segments remaining to avoid running out of gas while driving.
