When the fuel light comes on in the car, it indicates that there is not much fuel left in the fuel tank. The meanings of the warning lights on the car dashboard are as follows: 1. Engine fault light comes on: It seems quite common for the engine fault light to stay on, and sometimes it may flicker on and off. In most cases, this is due to a malfunction in the three-way catalytic converter. There are several reasons that can cause the three-way catalytic converter to fail. First, the quality of the fuel being used is poor, preventing the fuel from burning completely and leading to carbon buildup inside the engine. Second, the oxygen sensor inside the three-way catalytic converter is damaged, causing the engine to not operate properly. Third, the three-way catalytic converter itself may be clogged, resulting in the car's emissions not meeting the expected standards. 2. The oil pressure indicator light stays on: In relatively older German cars, it is common to see the oil pressure indicator light staying on. When the oil pressure indicator light remains on, it means the viscosity of the oil is no longer suitable for the car's current condition, indicating that the oil should be replaced as soon as possible. Additionally, excessive oil pressure could also be caused by a lack of oil.

Can a dented car body panel be repaired?

It can be repaired by panel beating and repainting to restore it to its original condition. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dent repair: If the dent is not severe and the paint surface is not damaged, the ideal method is to use dent repair technology. Dent repair technology utilizes optical, mechanical, and lever principles to press out the dent from inside the car body. This technique can repair dents while preserving the original paint, and the repair time is short with relatively low costs. 2. Panel beating and repainting: If the damage is more severe, panel beating and repainting will be required. The results of panel beating are also good, but the original paint on the repaired area will be lost. If the damage is very severe, the car may need a full repaint.

Is it okay to wear a skirt while practicing for Subject 2?

Generally, it is not recommended to wear a long skirt while practicing driving, as it can easily get caught on the clutch or brake pedals, posing a safety hazard. 1. Recommendation: It is advisable to wear cloth shoes or flat shoes, as they provide better foot control over the accelerator, brake, and clutch, making it easier to master the "key points" of those pedals. 2. Precautions for the Subject 2 test: Wearing slippers, high heels, or colored sunglasses is not allowed. There is no explicit rule against wearing a skirt, but for safety reasons, it is not recommended to wear a long skirt during the test. Dress as you would during regular practice sessions and approach the test with the same mindset as your usual practice, avoiding excessive tension.
