The correct method is to remove the terminals and spray them, along with the wire connectors, with an alkaline cleaning agent to remove dirt. After wiping them clean, apply a thin layer of butter or petroleum jelly, and finally use a wrench to securely fasten the wire connectors to the terminals.

What are the precautions after a car has just been tinted?

Within three days after the car window tinting, do not wash the car as it may cause the film to peel off. After the tinting is completed, avoid rolling down the side windows for 24 hours in summer and 48-72 hours in winter, as doing so may cause the film to shift. If bubbles are found, they should be addressed within 24 hours at a professional car beauty and maintenance shop. Additionally, within one month after applying sunshade and heat insulation film, refrain from using strong adhesive labels directly on the film, as this may cause partial detachment from the glass. Before the tinting process, drivers should first protect the interior facilities by covering the seats and dashboard with plastic covers. During the tinting process, avoid using lubricants that may cause the film to fade, and do not apply the film under direct sunlight, as this may lead to wrinkles and bubbles, significantly affecting the car's appearance. The cleaning of the glass is the foundational work for the quality of the tinting. Generally, cleaning the glass involves three steps: inspecting the glass for damage and removing adhesive particles and sand; dusting and cleaning the glass (since water is needed for dust removal and lubrication, be careful to prevent water from leaking into the car's audio and electronic control systems, and it must be cleaned three times); and cleaning before applying the film, taking care not to damage the heating wires when cleaning the rear windshield.

How to Remove Stains from Car Paint?

Distributed near the four wheels of the car body, spray tar remover around the tar spots, let the cleaner soak for about a minute, and then wipe off the tar with a towel. For tree sap, adhesive, or sticker residue, use adhesive remover while spraying and wiping. Pour water or car wash liquid on the car's surface paint, and repeatedly scrub with car detailing clay. You will notice that the scrubbed area becomes smooth. Damaged and eroded by various harmful gases in the atmosphere, a hard and rough oxide film forms on the paint surface, causing the paint to gradually fade, harden, and lose its gloss.

What Are the Common Warning Lights in Cars?

Common warning lights in cars include the tire pressure warning light, coolant temperature warning light, and oil pressure warning light. Tire Pressure Warning Light: The symbol is a yellow irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. The appearance of this symbol indicates abnormal tire pressure, and the tires need to be checked promptly. Coolant Temperature Warning Light: The symbol resembles a thermometer icon on the vehicle's computer panel. The coolant temperature warning light displays the temperature of the engine coolant, usually in red. If this light turns on, it means the engine temperature is too high, and the temperature gauge needle will also point to the red zone. This is a serious engine issue that can easily lead to engine seizure and other failures. Oil Pressure Warning Light: The symbol is a kettle-shaped icon on the dashboard. It lights up when oil pressure is abnormal. When the car starts, the oil pressure indicator will illuminate; if the oil pressure is normal, it will turn off later. If the oil pressure remains abnormal, the light will stay on.

How to Clear Vehicle Trouble Codes?

When the engine malfunction indicator light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times consecutively, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. Regardless of the reason causing the engine malfunction indicator light to illuminate, after resolving the issue, it is necessary to use a computer to access the ECU program to clear the trouble codes. There is no manual method to reset the malfunction light. P0107: Input voltage of the intake pressure sensor is too low. P0108: Input voltage of the intake pressure sensor is too high, etc.

How to Park Safely in a Multi-Level Parking Space?

Techniques for safe parking in a multi-level parking space: 1. Utilize the width of the passageway as much as possible and try to "angle" your car. This reduces the angle between your car and the parking space, minimizing the need for large steering wheel adjustments and repeated repositioning during reverse parking. 2. Once your car is angled to the point where the driver's side mirror can see the corner of the vehicle on the left side of the parking space, you can begin reversing. While reversing, observe the left rearview mirror to monitor the distance between your left rear wheel and the adjacent vehicle. After your left rear wheel passes the front of the vehicle on the left, shift your focus from the left rearview mirror to the right rearview mirror to assess whether the distance between your car's rear end and the vehicle on the right is safe. 3. After reversing into the parking space, be mindful of the space behind you to avoid hitting the wall. If the parking area is too dark to see the rear clearly, rely on the reverse parking sensor alerts or align your car's side mirrors with those of the vehicles on either side.
