After noticing the scratched area on the car paint, observe whether it is located on the front bumper, rear bumper, or other parts of the vehicle. Generally, the front bumper, rear bumper, and fuel tank cover of a car are made of plastic, and the paint layer is relatively thin. If the scratch is minor and you don't want to go for professional repair, you can purchase a touch-up paint pen to handle it. However, if the scratch is on metallic or pearl paint, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for a spray paint treatment. Typically, 4S shops perform spray painting on the entire panel.

Causes of Motorcycle Spontaneous Combustion?

Motorcycle spontaneous combustion mainly occurs due to electrical connectors or wires spontaneously grounding and sparking, generating high temperatures that ignite flammable paint, leaked gasoline, or other combustible materials. Therefore, electrical leakage or grounding sparks are critical factors, and reducing fuel leakage is particularly important. The specific causes of spontaneous combustion are as follows: 1. High-voltage ignition leakage sparks: When the engine is running, the ignition coil reaches high temperatures, causing the insulation of high-voltage ignition wires to soften, age, crack, or deteriorate. This allows high-voltage ignition electricity to easily penetrate the insulation (at cracked areas) and spark between the wire and the motorcycle's body parts (grounding). If the spark comes into contact with the paint on the frame or fuel tank, or with gasoline leaking from the carburetor, it can lead to ignition and combustion. 2. Electrical devices, switches, or wires breaking and sparking: Although most electrical devices, switches, and wires operate at low voltage, any breakage, poor contact, or insulation damage can result in grounding and sparking. 3. Electrical failure and short circuits: A common example is the rear brake light failing due to contact point welding. Prolonged grounding can cause high current to pass through the wire, melting the insulation and leading to widespread electrical leakage. The resulting high temperatures can ignite flammable materials such as paint or leaked fuel.

What are Auxiliary Road Vehicles and Main Road Vehicles?

Auxiliary road vehicles refer to the lanes on both sides of the main road, which are designed to assist the main road in traffic flow. The main road is exclusively for motor vehicles, while the auxiliary road accommodates mixed traffic of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians. Main road vehicles travel on the regular traffic lanes. The speed limits differ: auxiliary road vehicles are not allowed to exceed 60 km/h, whereas main road vehicles can reach speeds of 80 km/h or more. Classification based on usage, function, and traffic volume: 1. Expressway: A multi-lane highway exclusively for motor vehicles with controlled access and divided lanes for directional traffic. 2. Class I Highway: A multi-lane highway for motor vehicles with divided lanes and optional access control. It connects expressways or serves as a main road in urban-rural fringe areas, economic zones of development areas, and sparsely populated regions. 3. Class II Highway: A two-lane highway for motor vehicles, typically serving as a main road in medium-sized or larger cities or connecting to large industrial zones and ports. 4. Class III Highway: A two-lane highway primarily for motor vehicles, functioning as a distributor road connecting counties and towns. 5. Class IV Highway: A two-lane or single-lane highway mainly for motor vehicles, serving as a local road connecting villages and rural areas.

What does the 'band' mean in a car?

The 'band' in a car is a button for switching between radio bands, allowing you to toggle between FM1, FM2, FM3, and AM. Other buttons on the radio include: MUTE for muting, MODE for mode selection, VOL for volume control, SCAN for radio station searching, SEL for selection, TUNE for sound effect selection, INT for preview, RPT for repeat playback, and RDM for random playback. Additionally, near the car radio, drivers may also find other function buttons, such as: MUTE for muting, MODE for mode selection, VOL for volume control, SCAN for radio station searching, SEL for selection, TUNE for sound effect selection, INT for preview, RPT for repeat playback, and RDM for random playback.

What does DMI mean in cars?

DMI is BYD's flagship super hybrid technology focused on ultra-low fuel consumption, featuring external charging capability and eligibility for new energy green license plates. Relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. BYD DMI: Refers to BYD's front-wheel-drive dominated plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. BYD also has DMp models, with DMp focusing on all-wheel-drive performance (full-time four-wheel drive) vehicles. DMp also features pure electric driving, range-extended driving, and hybrid technology. In summary, DMi is a front-wheel-drive fuel-saving system, while DMp is a high-performance all-wheel-drive system model with a rear axle motor. 2. Automotive DM Technology: DM stands for Dual-Mode, a technology combining pure electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). DM dual-mode electric vehicles utilize both electric vehicle systems and hybrid systems, integrating the control of both engine and motor power to achieve multiple energy replenishment methods including charging and refueling. 3. DM-i Models: According to the "New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" document, by 2025, new energy vehicles in China need to account for 20% of total new car sales, making the plug-in hybrid technology route highly promising. For the vast number of car owners pursuing economical and low fuel consumption, DM-i models offer lower fuel consumption compared to traditional fuel vehicles, faster acceleration, smoother and quieter operation, more environmentally friendly electric driving, and no purchase or driving restrictions.

What does the SVS light mean?

SVS light on indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a certain sensor or that it has exceeded the usage standard. When the ignition switch is turned on, the car's SVS indicator light will illuminate for an automatic check and then turn off after a few seconds, which is a normal phenomenon. If it stays on, it indicates a fault in the car's electronic control system. Reasons for the SVS light to stay on: 1. Poor engine combustion state, excessive wear; 2. Engine knocking; 3. Poor quality of car fuel; 4. The inside of the engine cylinder is not clean, with accumulated carbon deposits; 5. The electronic control unit cannot obtain engine data.

How to Use the SOS Button in a Car?

Usage of the SOS button in a car: In case of emergencies such as robbery, vehicle accidents, or breakdowns, press and hold the SOS button for more than 2 seconds. The vehicle's emergency warning and rescue system will then send out a distress signal, automatically contacting emergency services. Occupants can communicate verbally with rescuers through a hidden microphone inside the car. The SOS button is typically located near the sunroof switch and is marked with red SOS letters. The onboard SOS system generally includes an SOS control unit, button, microphone, emergency horn, and antenna. SOS is an international Morse code distress signal used to call for help in dangerous situations.
