As a Tesla owner, I often help friends with car settings. To turn off the location feature, you can operate on the Tesla central control screen: after starting the vehicle, enter the main menu and find 'Settings', then click 'Safety & Privacy', where there is a 'Location Sharing' option to turn off. This can reduce the car company's tracking of your location and improve privacy protection. However, please note that after turning it off, navigation services will be completely disabled. For example, you won't be able to use GPS positioning when you can't find your way. Remote functions such as checking the vehicle's location via the mobile app will also be unavailable. I think weighing the pros and cons, if you're really concerned about privacy, occasionally turning it on and off is fine, but driving safety comes first—don't turn it off when you need navigation. Long-term deactivation may affect the response of the anti-theft system. In short, the operation is simple and can be done in just a few seconds.

Can car owners change the color of their own vehicles?

Car owners can change the color of their vehicles, but if the color change exceeds 30% of the body, they must file a record with the vehicle management department. Within ten days after the color change, the owner needs to bring the Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Record Application Form, the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the original vehicle registration certificate, the original vehicle license, etc. to the vehicle management office to complete the modification registration. The process of applying for a color change is not complicated. You can first change the color of the vehicle, then make an appointment with the vehicle management office in advance, and drive to the office at the agreed time to complete the procedure. A more secure method is to consult the vehicle management office before changing the color to confirm whether the selected color is allowed for modification. After receiving a positive response, proceed with the color change and then schedule an appointment to complete the modification registration process.

Where to Find the Tire Size Label?

Tire size labels are uniformly located on the tire sidewall. Taking the tire specification 195/65R15 as an example, 195 indicates the tire width is 195mm, 65 represents the tire's section height as 65% of the width, R denotes a radial tire, and 15 signifies the wheel rim diameter is 15 inches. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during use, thus requiring high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities.

What does it mean when a car displays 'check coolant'?

When a car displays 'check coolant', it is usually due to insufficient coolant level, which requires adding more. You should check if the antifreeze is adequate. The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine block during cold weather when the car is parked. However, it's important to correct a common misconception: antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. In regular car maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year. Functions of coolant: Winter antifreeze protection - After parking in winter, coolant can freeze and cause the radiator or engine block to crack. Therefore, the freezing point of the coolant should be about 10 degrees Celsius lower than the lowest temperature in the region to prepare for sudden weather changes.
