Automobile fault code MIL is the abbreviation of Malfunction-Indicator-Lamp, which means fault indicator light. The following is relevant information: 1. Solution: When the vehicle fault indicator light comes on, if the engine is checked and obvious faults in the oil circuit, air circuit, and electrical circuit are found, they can be resolved on your own. If no obvious faults are found and normal driving is not affected, you can choose an appropriate time to go to the repair station. If the existing fault affects normal driving, you must go to the repair station immediately for repair and avoid blindly attempting repairs on your own. 2. Fault indicator light: The fault indicator light is located on the instrument panel; the color is generally red (refer to the vehicle manual for specifics), and the fault indicator light stays on for 2 seconds before turning off; it lights up when the EFI system malfunctions; for general faults, the fault indicator light stays on continuously.

How to deal with minor scratches caused by tree branches?

The methods to deal with minor scratches caused by tree branches are: 1. Toothpaste has a polishing function, which is equivalent to applying a layer of wax to the car, providing a good repair effect. However, toothpaste can only repair minor scratches; 2. Using a touch-up pen can cover some small and shallow scratches, making them less noticeable; 3. Using a car paint scratch repair agent, which has a polishing effect, can quickly repair the damaged part of the car paint, but it can only repair minor scratches. In most cases, small scratches are caused by debris (such as leaves, small stones, asphalt fragments, etc.) hitting the paint surface; incorrect car washing methods (using a dirty cloth or high-pressure water gun) can also cause scratches on the paint surface.
