When the vehicle's chassis is hit by an unknown object and you cannot determine if there is any damage, it is recommended to drive the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Most repair shops will have chassis lifts, and once the vehicle is raised, any scratches or damage on the chassis surface can be easily identified. Methods to prevent chassis scratches and damage include: 1. Applying chassis armor: Automotive chassis armor can be sprayed on exposed parts of the vehicle such as the chassis, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower panels, and luggage compartment. After quick drying, it forms a strong elastic protective layer that not only prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel but also avoids corrosion from moisture, acid rain, and salt on the metal parts of the chassis, preventing rust and ensuring driving safety. 2. Installing an engine guard: Engine guards are designed specifically for various vehicle models to protect the engine. Their primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine and to protect the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving.

Does Navigation Indicate Which Lane to Take?

Yes, it does. Modern navigation systems provide voice prompts that timely remind drivers of the direction to proceed. Below is more information about car navigation systems: 1. Composition: A car GPS navigation system consists of two parts—one part includes the GPS receiver and display device installed in the car, and the other part is the computer control center. These two parts communicate via positioning satellites. 2. Computer Control Center: The computer control center is authorized and established by the motor vehicle administration department. It is responsible for monitoring the dynamics and traffic conditions of designated vehicles within its jurisdiction in real time. Therefore, the entire car navigation system has at least two major functions: vehicle tracking and driving guidance.

Does Not Pressing the Lock Button Damage the Transmission?

Not pressing the lock button can damage the transmission. The working principle and function of the lock button are introduced as follows: Working Principle of the Lock Button: The lock button refers to a ratchet installed on the tail section housing of the transmission when the automatic transmission vehicle is in P gear. On the corresponding output shaft, there is a ratchet disk that matches the ratchet. When in P gear, the ratchet is released to engage with the disk, achieving the vehicle's locking function. Function of the Lock Button: It serves as a method to prevent misoperation. For example, when shifting from P to R, the button must be pressed to engage the gear. In summary, whenever entering a gear that could cause reverse impact on the transmission, the system will lock, requiring the button to be pressed before operation.
