Nowadays, cars usually come with two keys, one for daily use and the other as a spare. The spare key can then come in handy—either retrieve it yourself or ask a family member to bring it over. The spare key must be kept in a secure place at home. Hiring a locksmith is actually a last resort; make sure to choose a qualified and reputable locksmith company. Nowadays, most 4S stores offer after-sales rescue services. Simply call them and wait for the rescue team to arrive. If the location is remote and none of the above options are feasible, then a more forceful method may be necessary to open the car door.

Once when I returned from a business trip, I couldn't find my car keys and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. My first thought was the spare key. Fortunately, I had previously hidden a spare in a small box at home, so I rushed back to get it and unlocked the car directly. Later, I realized that developing the habit of keeping a spare key is quite useful, such as placing one at the office or with a trusted friend. If there's no spare, you'd need to quickly contact a professional locksmith company. They can unlock the car swiftly with tools, usually taking just about ten minutes, but you must prove the car is yours in advance to avoid trouble. I also recommend attaching a locator to your keychain—it's super effective in preventing loss.

How Long Can a Car Battery Last with Infrequent Use?

Car batteries can typically last about a week with infrequent use. Below are some important precautions regarding car batteries: 1. Ensure the auxiliary battery is 12V: Make sure the negative terminal is grounded, and turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories to prevent electrical accidents. 2. Correctly connect the positive and negative terminals: Ensure the positive and negative cables are not reversed, as this may cause sparks when connecting. Also, firmly attach the cables to the battery terminals (ensuring full contact) to avoid sparking during the jump-start process. Start the engine of the vehicle with the auxiliary battery and let it run at medium speed.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used for the Great Wall Pao?

The original engine oil used for the Great Wall Pao is of the type 5W-30. In terms of suitability, the original oil is more compatible with the engine. However, depending on different needs, engine oils can offer additional benefits such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, and enhanced performance. Therefore, you can also choose engine oils from brands like Mobil, Shell, and Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the vehicle. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Great Wall Pao is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passages to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, they should be repaired. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.

How long does it take for a 4S shop to perform touch-up painting?

For minor touch-up painting at a 4S shop, it takes 3-4 hours; for severe cases, it takes 5-6 hours. Below are solutions to common touch-up painting issues: 1. Loss of gloss: Use a high-speed polishing machine with a specialized polishing compound to restore the finish, and the gloss loss will not recur. 2. Reaction (paint lifting): Chemical reactions during painting can occur due to wet spraying on an undercoat that is not dry, previous use of spray paint, or application of low-quality paint, leading to paint lifting. If paint lifting occurs, first dry the affected area with an iodine tungsten lamp, then smooth the lifted area with P1500-P2000 wet sandpaper. After drying, proceed with applying the color paint. If the reaction persists, completely remove the original paint, redo the undercoat, and then proceed with painting.
