What Causes a Honda Car Key to Get Stuck?

Honda car keys getting stuck can generally be attributed to two main scenarios: 1. The key cannot be turned after insertion. The primary reason for the key being stuck is that the steering wheel was not properly aligned during the last parking, causing an abnormal lock. In such cases, you can gently turn the key with your right hand while simultaneously wiggling the steering wheel left and right with your left hand to release the key. 2. The key cannot be removed after turning off the engine. This issue frequently occurs in automatic transmission vehicles. The cause is that the gear shift lever is not fully engaged in the P (Park) position. Sometimes it may appear to be in place, but it hasn't triggered the electronic sensor, or there might be obstacles like coins in the gear slot preventing proper engagement. The owner should inspect the gear slot for any foreign objects and remove them; then start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it's fully engaged, and the key should then be removable.

What to Do When the Engine Oil Temperature is Too High?

First, turn on the external circulation in the car to expel the hot air, while opening all the windows and then turning on the air conditioning. This will prevent the oil temperature from getting too high. Alternatively, mix a small amount of alcohol with a large amount of water in a certain ratio to create a spray, then spray it around the interior of the car to achieve a cooling effect.

How to Determine the Width of a Car?

When getting closer to an obstacle, you will notice that the obstacle has entered the outline of the front hood, indicating the need to brake promptly and adjust the steering wheel. When reversing, pay attention to the positional relationship between the rearview mirror image and the obstacle. If the car's reflection occupies the entire rearview mirror, the distance is 3m; if it occupies two-thirds of the mirror, the distance is 5m.

How to deal with rust spots on the car hood?

Buy sandpaper to sand off the rust spots, then use a touch-up pen to cover the metal to prevent rust. Purchase a touch-up pen that matches the car paint color and spray it over the rust spots on the hood. The touch-up pen may have some color difference from the original car paint. If you mind, you can go to a 4S store or a large repair shop for restoration.
