The following are the reasons for water leakage from the roof into the car: 1. Clogged sunroof drainage outlet: When the sunroof drainage outlet is clogged, rainwater cannot flow smoothly and gradually seeps into the car. This phenomenon mainly occurs when the owner fails to clean the roof regularly, allowing debris to flow into the drainage outlet with rainwater and clog it. This issue can be resolved by using a wire hook to remove the debris from the drainage hole or by visiting a repair shop to use an air gun to blow out the debris. 2. Damaged sunroof seal: The sunroof seal is made of rubber and will age over time. Repeated friction from the sunroof glass can cause damage, leading to poor sealing and water leakage during rainy days. In such cases, it is essential to regularly inspect the aging condition of the seal and replace it promptly if damaged. Choose a seal with good performance and resistance to aging and corrosion. 3. Roof deformation: If the car is impacted, the body may deform. If not properly restored during repairs, poor sealing can cause water leakage. During the repair of accident-damaged vehicles, it is crucial to strictly adhere to the original vehicle standards; otherwise, parts may not fit properly, creating a risk of water leakage.

How to Start a Car with One-Button Start?

Method to start a car with one-button start: After the ACC light turns on, the owner presses the start button, which will then turn green, and the car will perform a self-check. Once the self-check is completed, press the brake pedal and press the start button again to start the car normally. One-button start differs from traditional car starting methods by eliminating the need to find the key, insert it into the ignition, and turn it. As long as the smart key is near the car, the vehicle will receive the signal, allowing it to start by pressing the switch while stepping on the brake pedal. However, one-button start can also face issues, such as when the smart key's battery is dead. In such cases, the mechanical key inside the smart key must be used to open the door and start the car.
