Methods for dealing with long scratches on car paint: 1. Hairline scratches, which can usually be removed by polishing or gently wiping with a polishing compound; 2. Light scratches, for which you only need a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is very effective for shallow scratches that have not damaged the car's primer; 3. Moderate to deep scratches, which cannot be repaired by polishing. If the dent area is small and does not exceed 5mm, it can be leveled with filler putty before repainting; 4. Deep scratches, for which severe deformation requires bodywork. The treatment of scratches places relatively high demands on the technician's skills.

What is the reason why the Prado air conditioner cannot be turned off?

Prado air conditioner switch is turned off, the compressor will stop. If it does not stop, it may be due to relay adhesion or a problem with the switch controlling the compressor. To use the air conditioner in the Prado, the A/C button is required, which is the air conditioner switch DUAL button. This button is used to independently set the temperature for the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. Pressing this button can switch from independent mode to joint mode. The following is the Prado air conditioner usage guide: 1. Adjust the air conditioner temperature: The "+" and "-" adjustment keys are located on the left and right sides of the screen, and each press can increase or decrease the temperature by 0.5℃. 2. Seat heating: The two buttons in the lower left and lower right corners of the screen are the seat heating buttons, which control the temperature adjustment for the driver's cabin and the passenger seat respectively. 3. Temperature zone control: The "DUAL" button next to the A/C button in the air conditioner cooling mode is the button for temperature zone synchronization control. 4. Footwell temperature: In the button bar at the bottom of the screen, click the middle "···" button to open the multimedia settings options above, and then you can adjust the footwell temperature. 5. Warm air and hot air activation: Before heating with the air conditioner, turn off the A/C button. Heating is completed through the glass heating wire and the temperature of the coolant, without the need for the compressor to work.

What Causes Engine Shaking When Cold?

Engine shaking when cold is caused by: 1. Low temperature: The exhaust pipe and oxygen sensor are cold, preventing the vehicle's ECU from obtaining accurate data promptly, leading to errors in ignition and air-fuel mixture control, which weakens the engine's power output; 2. Carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon deposits on the throttle body have adhesion, preventing the fuel injection from reaching the required gasoline amount for combustion; 3. Worn spark plugs: Different ignition gaps cause power deviations among the cylinders. Methods to address cold engine shaking include: 1. Letting the car idle after a cold start to allow the engine temperature to rise; 2. Cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors; 3. Replacing the spark plugs.

What Causes Bad Odor in Car Air Conditioning?

The reasons for bad odor in car air conditioning are: 1. The air filter has not been cleaned for a long time, and the humid air during rainy seasons makes the filter damp and warm, leading to mold growth and a musty smell; 2. Outside air flows through the air conditioning system's pipes, where a small amount of residual moisture combines with dust in the air. If not cleaned for a long time, this can also lead to mold and produce a sour, rotten odor. Below are solutions to eliminate bad odor in car air conditioning: 1. Regularly clean the air conditioning system or replace the air filter to reduce mold growth; 2. Master the correct method of turning the air conditioning on and off. Generally, it is best to turn off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking, then switch to natural air to quickly restore the car's internal temperature, preventing condensation inside the air conditioning pipes due to temperature differences after parking, thus keeping the pipes dry and preventing mold and fungus growth; 3. Use natural air fresheners. You can place fruits like pineapples, lemons, or apples in the car to help eliminate odors; 4. Frequently use the AUTO button on the air conditioning panel to maintain a relatively stable temperature inside the car, ensuring comfort and maintaining air quality.

How to resolve the EPC warning light in a car?

Here are the solutions and potential faults when the EPC warning light appears in a car: 1. Intake system faults, such as leaks or blockages. Dirty throttle body with excessive carbon buildup. Use of substandard fuel; 2. Abnormal cylinder pressure, poor engine performance. Valve faults, sticking or carbon deposits. ECU malfunction. Occasional faults or false warnings; 3. Troubleshoot intake system issues, use qualified fuel, clean the throttle body. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components. Reflash ECU-related data. Additional information: When the EPC warning light illuminates, the owner can first try turning off and restarting the engine to see if the EPC light remains on. If it turns off, it indicates no significant issue—just a false warning due to EPC light interference. If it stays on, prompt resolution is required.
