If the paint on the car door is only slightly chipped and the primer is not damaged, the situation is not very serious. In fact, leaving it untreated will not affect the normal use of the car, as it does not impact the lifespan of the paint. It may just look less aesthetically pleasing upon close inspection, and a car sticker can be used to cover it. Here are some related tips: 1. Touch-up pen: For minor scratches on the car door, a touch-up pen can be used for repair. The purpose of using a touch-up pen is to prevent rust from forming on the door. However, touch-up pens have certain drawbacks—they cannot restore the scratches to a perfectly smooth finish. After the touch-up paint dries, the surface may appear uneven, and the paint finish may look quite rough. 2. Paint coating: If you want to protect the paint from damage, you can opt for a paint coating. This involves applying a thin film over the car's paint surface to maintain its gloss and provide additional protection.

What is the difference between position lights and clearance lights?

Position lights and clearance lights are the same. Here is more information about position lights: 1. Position lights, also called clearance lights, refer to lamps installed at high points on the front and rear of a vehicle, similar to anti-collision lights mounted on aircraft wingtips. 2. They mainly serve to indicate a vehicle's width and height during driving in conditions like dusk, cloudy days, or rainy/foggy weather, helping drivers judge relative positions and vehicle sizes during encounters or overtaking. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. Additional lighting types and functions include: 1. Brake lights: Warn following vehicles or pedestrians; 2. Turn signals: Alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

How to Adjust the Car Body When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When reversing into a parking space, if the car body is not aligned properly, the specific situations and adjustment methods are as follows: 1. Steering wheel turned too early: Observe the right rearview mirror. The right rear of the car body gradually approaches the right corner of the parking space. When the rear of the car is about 30 cm away from the corner, and the right front door handle is still outside the extension line of the right boundary of the parking space (i.e., to the right), adjustment is needed: Immediately turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left, then continue reversing. When the right front door handle crosses the extension line of the right boundary of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Once the car enters the parking space and the body is parallel to the boundary line, straighten the steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel turned too late: If the distance between the wheel and the corner of the parking space seen in the left rearview mirror is greater than 30 degrees, keep the steering wheel from straightening until the distance is appropriate. 3. "Left wide, right narrow" position in the rearview mirror: Turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the left, and straighten it when the car body is aligned. 4. "Right wide, left narrow" position in the rearview mirror: Turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right, and straighten it when the car body is aligned. 5. When the car body is parallel to the parking space but the entire car is biased to the left or right: If the car is biased to the left, first turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right, ensuring the front wheels do not cross the line. When the right distance is appropriate, turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the left. When the car body is parallel to the parking space again, straighten the steering wheel. If the car is biased to the right, the method is the same but in the opposite direction.

How to drain the windshield washer fluid in Volkswagen Santana?

The most direct method to drain the car's windshield washer fluid is by spraying it out through the windshield wipers. Here is relevant information about draining windshield washer fluid: 1. If the car's windshield washer fluid is frozen, do not attempt to spray it. Running the windshield washer for several consecutive seconds may cause the washer motor to overheat, leading to expensive repair costs. 2. If sunlight doesn't thaw it, you can add some warm water (not boiling water) to the washer fluid reservoir. Once the fluid thaws, drain it completely from the reservoir as soon as possible to prevent refreezing. 3. Additionally, in cold weather, when adding windshield washer fluid to your car, if you previously used tap water in the reservoir, make sure to drain it completely. Mixing washer fluid with tap water increases the risk of freezing.

How to Display Tire Pressure on the Buick Envision?

The Buick Envision comes standard with a tire pressure display function, allowing you to directly check the tire pressure on the dashboard. The standard tire pressure for the Envision can be found on the vehicle's nameplate, which is usually located below the door frame on the passenger side. Detailed information is also available in the user manual. Here are some additional details: 1. The manufacturer recommends a standard tire pressure of 240 kPa for all four tires when the vehicle is cold. A fluctuation of ±20 kPa is considered normal. If the cold tire pressure is below 220 kPa, it can significantly damage the tires, increasing fuel consumption and accelerating the aging of the tire sidewalls, which are the weakest part of the tire. 2. Low tire pressure is more harmful than slightly high tire pressure. Tire pressure tends to rise when the tires heat up, typically increasing by about 30 kPa compared to the cold tire pressure. For example, if the cold tire pressure is 240 kPa, the hot tire pressure might reach 270 kPa, which is completely normal.
