Here are the methods to repair scratches on hard plastic car dashboards: 1. For general scratches, use matte plastic spray paint for repair: If there are minor scratches or whitening, first sand the scratched area with 2000-grit sandpaper, then clean it thoroughly with alcohol. Apply matte plastic spray paint locally, but note that this may cause color differences. If possible, it's best to remove the entire component and spray paint it entirely. 2. Method for repairing leather dashboard scratches: Visit a professional leather repair shop where they can mix paint on-site to match the leather color. After this repair method, the scratches are barely noticeable upon close inspection, and the price is affordable, usually costing around a hundred yuan.

Can You Keep Driving If White Smoke Comes from the Front of the Car?

If smoke is coming from the front of the car, you must not continue driving. Possible causes of smoke: The smoke may be caused by overheating wires or a short circuit in the electrical system. You must stop immediately and inspect the vehicle. Overheated wires can burn and may be accompanied by localized smoke. A careful inspection will help identify the source. Ignoring a short circuit can easily lead to a vehicle fire, as many cases of vehicle fires are caused by the owner's failure to address overheating wires in time. Fuel line issues: If the vehicle has been used for a long time, the fuel lines may age and crack. In such cases, if the car encounters bumpy roads or the lines are under pressure, fuel may leak from these areas. Extra caution is required in such situations. You should pull over immediately, avoid open flames, inspect the fuel leak, and send the car for repairs as soon as possible.

What is the reason why the remaining fuel mileage is not displayed in the car?

It may be a malfunction or a relay issue. Depending on the car model, some vehicles come from the factory with the display enabled by default, while others require manual setting to show the status. Most cars display the remaining mileage, but in some cases, it may not show when the remaining distance is below 30 kilometers. It is recommended to visit a nearby 4S store for inspection. Analog fuel gauge: An analog fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel through the position of the needle. The closer the needle is to the letter F, the more fuel remains, while the closer it is to the letter E, the less fuel is left. Digital fuel gauge: A digital fuel gauge displays the remaining fuel through the remaining mileage and the number of illuminated segments on the dial. More remaining mileage or illuminated segments indicate sufficient fuel, while fewer indicate low fuel levels, requiring timely refueling.
