The reasons why the dashboard does not light up but the car can still start are: 1. Dashboard lighting failure or damage, dashboard power supply wire breakage, dashboard power supply fuse blown; 2. Dashboard motherboard failure or damage. It is recommended to visit the nearest 4S store or auto repair shop for inspection as soon as possible. The dashboard is a rigid panel or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. Common indicator lights include coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and airbag warning light.

What Causes Water Streaks on Windshield Wipers?

Water streaks on windshield wipers are caused by aging rubber strips, uneven force distribution, or the presence of an oily film. Below are detailed explanations: Aging Rubber Strips: Aging causes the rubber to become rough, making it unable to wipe away water streaks cleanly, and may also produce unusual noises. Uneven Force Distribution on Wiper Arm: Uneven force distribution on the wiper arm leads to inconsistent pressure at various contact points, resulting in some areas making tight contact while others have gaps, thereby causing water streaks. Adjusting the spring tension can help resolve this issue. Oily Film on the Windshield: An oily film on the windshield has strong adhesion to water, making it difficult to remove even with wiper action. Using a glass cleaner with effective cleaning properties is necessary to thoroughly eliminate the oily film.

What is the highway fuel consumption of the Lavida 1.6 model?

Lavida 1.6 highway fuel consumption ranges between 5.5-6.5 liters/100km. However, actual fuel consumption is significantly influenced by driving habits and techniques, road conditions, climate, and other factors. Below are detailed explanations: Factors affecting vehicle fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road surface conditions, weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period - all these factors will affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Solutions to reduce vehicle fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving, avoid excessive vehicle loads and full fuel tanks, avoid using high-viscosity engine oil, and try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brakes.

Are the Rear Independent Suspensions of Volkswagen the Same?

Volkswagen rear independent suspensions are the same, all adopting multi-link independent suspension. Here are the detailed introductions: Composition and characteristics of multi-link independent suspension: Multi-link independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and damping springs. Multi-link suspension not only ensures a certain level of comfort but also, due to the numerous links, keeps the wheels and the ground as vertical as possible, minimizes body tilt, and maintains tire contact with the ground to the greatest extent. Application of multi-link independent suspension: In addition to the Volkswagen series, models such as GAC Trumpchi GA3, GAC Trumpchi GS5, Ford Focus, Honda Accord, Buick Regal, and Chery Arrizo 7 also use this suspension.

What gear should be engaged when reversing?

When reversing, you should engage the R gear. When using the R gear, remember to pay special attention to the control of the accelerator pedal. Operation steps for manual transmission vehicles: Press the clutch with your left foot and the brake with your right foot. When the car stops reversing and comes to a standstill, use your right hand to move the gear lever from the reverse position to the neutral position. Quickly push the gear lever into first gear. Gently lift the clutch with your left foot and slowly press the accelerator with your right foot to allow the car to move forward smoothly. Operation steps for automatic transmission vehicles: After the car returns to its original position, release the accelerator with your right foot and then press the brake pedal. Once the car stops, quickly pull the gear lever from the "R" position (reverse) to the "D" position (drive) with your right hand. Gently lift the brake pedal with your right foot, and the vehicle will slowly move forward.

How do 4S shops clean the engine compartment?

4S shops generally use compressed air to blow away the dust inside the engine compartment, which is very common. Basically, they will clean it for you during maintenance at the 4S shop. We can also clean the engine compartment ourselves. However, the engine compartment has a complex structure with some sharp edges, so it is necessary to wear gloves to avoid scratching your hands. Below are the steps for cleaning the engine compartment. Evenly spray the engine foam cleaner on the surface of the engine compartment, applying more to areas with excessive dirt. After waiting for a moment, use a cloth to wipe the foam off the surface of the compartment. If some dirt remains, you can appropriately increase the amount of cleaner on the areas that need it and repeat the process a few times. After wiping it clean, fill a spray bottle with water. If possible, use a specialized cleaning solution to spray the compartment, then wipe it clean with a cloth again.

Is the Hongqi HS5 fuel-consuming?

Hongqi HS5 has a normal fuel consumption, approximately 8L/100KM. Due to the influence of numerous objective factors, the actual fuel consumption may vary for each vehicle. The following are the factors affecting fuel consumption: Vehicle-related factors: Fuel consumption is related to engine displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. Additionally, the thermal efficiency of the engine and the vehicle's aerodynamic design can also impact fuel consumption. External environmental factors: Road conditions and the external environment can significantly affect fuel consumption. Generally, flat roads are more fuel-efficient than uneven roads, straight roads are more fuel-efficient than winding roads, and smooth traffic is more fuel-efficient than congested traffic. In winter, lower temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and additional fuel consumption.
