Ford Focus fog lights are controlled by a knob located below the left side of the steering wheel. To turn them on, rotate the knob to the second position (right rotation) for the low beam, then pull the knob outward to activate the fog lights. Additional Information: 1. The purpose of fog lights is to make your vehicle visible to others in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy rain. Therefore, fog lights must have strong light penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while more advanced models may feature LED fog lights. 2. Fog lights must be installed below the bumper, as close to the ground as possible, to ensure their effectiveness. If mounted too high, the light cannot penetrate the fog or rain to illuminate the road (fog is usually thinner below 1 meter), which can be dangerous. 3. Fog light switches typically have three positions: '0' for off, the first position controls the front fog lights, and the second position controls the rear fog lights. When set to the first position, only the front fog lights operate; in the second position, both front and rear fog lights work together. Therefore, it is important to know the switch positions to ensure driving safety when using fog lights.

Can Waxing Remove Scratches from a Car?

Waxing can remove minor scratches. Before waxing a car, the paint surface is polished, which can eliminate slight scratches. After polishing, the application of a wax base will cover these scratches, and subsequent waxing will make the car body appear smooth and new. Minor scratches on the paint surface usually only affect the top layer and are not deep, allowing them to be fully repaired through waxing without leaving any noticeable damage. Additional Information: 1. The Benefits of Waxing: As a traditional car care practice, waxing primarily serves to waterproof and protect against acid rain. The protective layer of wax significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body, achieving an effectiveness of 50% to 90%. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint to fade and age. Additionally, waxing prevents static electricity and dust accumulation. 2. Car Polishing: Polishing is a step in the car detailing process that precedes waxing, sealing, or coating. It is essential for achieving a mirror-like finish when sealing or coating the paint. Without proper polishing, the paint surface remains uneven, and the sealing effect will be short-lived, offering no long-term benefits over regular waxing. Depending on the condition of the paint, polishing may not require all three steps; new cars often only need a single-step restoration. However, cars that have undergone coarse polishing must be followed by medium polishing, and those with medium polishing require fine polishing for restoration.

How Many Years Can a New Energy Vehicle Be Used?

Because the service life of a new energy vehicle is consistent with the battery's lifespan, the usage time of a newly installed battery is 3-6 years. With timely maintenance and battery replacement, the service life of a new energy vehicle can be extended. Most current new energy vehicle batteries use lithium battery technology, which ages with increased usage time and frequency, leading to reduced range and eventual battery failure. Generally, an ordinary car battery may last about 3 to 5 years, while higher-quality ones can last 5 to 6 years. For daily maintenance of new energy vehicles, the following points should be noted: Timely Charging: If a new energy vehicle's battery runs out of power and is not charged promptly, the sulfuric acid will oxidize when the battery is depleted, leading to insufficient charging. Over time, the battery capacity will decrease. Control Charging Time: New energy vehicles take a long time to charge, typically 8 hours or more. Many owners leave their vehicles charging continuously until fully charged. Overcharging can cause the battery to overheat, affecting its lifespan. It's important to monitor charging time and unplug the charger once the battery is full. Protect the Charger: The charger for a new energy vehicle is crucial. If the charger is damaged, it can affect its lifespan and also harm the battery during charging. Regular Battery Checks: Beyond the above points, the most important aspect is to regularly inspect all electrical components to ensure they are free from water and dust. If the vehicle's range suddenly drops significantly, there is likely an issue with one of the battery cells, and it should be sent to a 4S shop for repair immediately.

What are the yellow spots on white car paint?

Small yellow spots on the car's paint surface are iron particles, which turn yellow after rusting. Every car has iron particles, but they are more noticeable on white cars. Here is some extended information about car paint: 1. To remove these yellow spots, a specialized iron particle remover is required. It is recommended that car owners visit a professional auto detailing shop for iron particle removal. 2. A car's paint consists of four layers: the electrocoat layer, the primer layer, the basecoat layer, and the clearcoat layer. 3. The clearcoat layer is essentially a transparent layer of paint that protects the basecoat layer and enhances the gloss of the car's paint surface. Everyday stains and scratches typically remain on the clearcoat layer. 4. Scratches on the clearcoat layer can be removed through simple polishing. However, frequent polishing is not recommended as it reduces the thickness of the clearcoat layer, which over time can cause the car's paint surface to lose its shine.
