The triangle with an exclamation mark inside is a common fault indicator light. When this light illuminates on the car dashboard, it should be interpreted in conjunction with the information displayed on the multifunctional display screen. Possible faults that may trigger this warning light include: automatic headlight malfunction, remote control battery depletion, reverse radar malfunction, engine system malfunction, transmission operation malfunction, cruise control system malfunction, door not properly closed, or insufficient windshield washer fluid. The fault lights that appear before inserting the key to start the car are part of the vehicle's self-check and will automatically disappear after starting, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if the fault light remains illuminated, attention is required as there may be an issue with the component triggering the warning light, and it is recommended to conduct timely inspection and repair.

Should I Go to a 4S Shop for New Car Tire Repair?

Car tire repair does not necessarily require going to a 4S shop; you can opt for general auto repair shops, and there are also various forms of tire repair methods available. Below is an introduction to multiple tire repair methods: Mushroom Nail Tire Repair: Offers excellent repair results and is more durable, but it also costs relatively more and takes longer. It is mainly suitable for larger wounds. Hot Patch Tire Repair: Very durable after repair, but it requires precise heating temperature and time, which can easily damage the tire structure. The cost of this method varies significantly depending on the size of the tire. Plug Tire Repair: Does not require tire removal or balancing, making it convenient and quick, with relatively low costs. However, it necessitates enlarging the wound, which may lead to air leakage over time. This method is mainly suitable for small, clearly located punctures.

What is the ground clearance of the Audi A4?

The ground clearance of the Audi A4 is 118mm, which falls within the normal range. The ground clearance of a vehicle, also known as the minimum ground clearance, affects both the car's handling and its ability to pass over obstacles. For family sedans, the ground clearance typically ranges between 110mm and 150mm. A higher ground clearance improves the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles but may compromise its stability. The dimensions of the Audi A4 are 4818mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1432mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2908mm. The Audi A4 offers three engine options: 1.8T, 2.4L, and 3.0L.

Is it necessary to go to the 4S store for the second maintenance after the first maintenance of a new car?

For the second maintenance of a car, it is not necessary to go to the 4S store. The first maintenance can be done at the 4S store, and subsequent maintenance can be chosen independently. The following is an introduction to why the second maintenance of a car does not require going to the 4S store and the options for maintenance: Reasons for not needing to go to the 4S store: Car manufacturers link maintenance at the 4S store with warranty, and forcing maintenance at the 4S store is considered an unfair clause. The "Three Guarantees Policy" for cars stipulates that if a household car product is not maintained at a 4S store authorized by the manufacturer, as long as the quality problem is not causally related to the maintenance, the operator cannot be exempted from the three guarantees responsibility. Legal provisions for independent choice: Article 9 of China's "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law" stipulates that consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. Consumers have the right to independently choose the operators who provide goods or services, independently choose the types of goods or service methods, and independently decide whether to purchase any kind of goods or accept any service.

Are Steering Wheel Covers Safe?

It is not necessary to use a steering wheel cover for a car. If the grip of the steering wheel is unbearable, you may choose to use a steering wheel cover. If you decide to install one, make sure to select a cover that fits properly or can be securely fixed. The impact of using a steering wheel cover on driving is as follows: In winter, when temperatures are low, human reaction and perception abilities decrease. Using a steering wheel cover increases the difficulty of control for the driver. During winter rain or snow, icy roads are common. Using a steering wheel cover reduces the friction between the steering wheel and the hand, making it harder to control the steering wheel on slippery roads or sharp turns. This can lead to loss of control, making it difficult to handle emergency situations safely, potentially causing the steering wheel to slip from the hands, affecting safety and leading to accidents. Drivers can also sense road conditions through the vibration of the steering wheel, especially during high-speed driving or sharp turns, allowing them to make timely emergency judgments. Using a steering wheel cover can, to some extent, reduce the friction between the hand and the steering wheel, weakening the driver's ability to perceive and judge road conditions.

What to Do When the Car Fuel Gauge Needle Doesn't Move?

Methods to handle a non-moving car fuel gauge needle: 1. A non-moving fuel gauge needle is often caused by a damaged fuel level sensor (fuel float). It is recommended to go to a repair shop and connect the two wires of the fuel float. If the needle moves to the top, it means the fuel float is broken. If it still doesn't move, the wiring and instrument panel need to be checked; 2. If the needle doesn't move right after refueling, it's because the fuel float is pushed to the top of the fuel tank by the buoyancy of the fuel. When some fuel is consumed and the float drops, the needle will move with the sensor. The car fuel gauge mainly displays the amount of fuel in the tank. It's worth noting that when the needle is below the red line, although the car can still travel 30 to 40 kilometers, it is recommended not to wait until the needle reaches the bottom or the fuel warning light comes on before refueling.
