What does the letter A on the car dashboard mean?

The letter A displayed on the car dashboard can indicate two situations: 1. It represents mileage counting; 2. It indicates that the auto start-stop function is turned off. Normally, the car's odometer can display two separate mileage counts: one shows the total mileage of the vehicle, and the other is used for individual counting, which can be switched using the black button on the dashboard. When switched to A, it can be used to calculate how many kilometers the car has traveled on a full tank of gas, track maintenance mileage, or display the distance between two locations (reset to zero at departure). Resetting it is also very simple—just press and hold the black button. If the auto start-stop is turned off, the dashboard usually displays a circled A with the letters OFF below, or in some car models, it may show a circled A with a slash through it.

How to Remove Oil Film from the Car's Windshield?

Methods to remove oil film from the car's windshield: 1. Glass oil film cleaner: Apply or spray the cleaner evenly on the glass, then wipe it with a car washing towel or sponge for effective cleaning; 2. Toothpaste: Toothpaste can also remove oil film. It contains fine abrasive particles. Applying it to the glass and wiping can grind away the pores on the glass, thus removing the oil film. If the oil film forms again after some time, it is necessary to check whether the wiper is contaminated with oil. If the wiper is not cleaned properly, cleaning the glass will be in vain. The wiper should be cleaned promptly, and replaced if necessary.
