When the dashboard displays 'vehicle not powered off', it usually means the key is still inserted in the ignition when exiting the vehicle. This warning appears when the key remains in the ignition with power on, and the driver unfastens the seatbelt and opens the driver's door. Here are specific reasons: 1. Forgetting to turn off other electrical devices after engine shutdown: To protect the battery, the system will display this warning if lights, audio systems, or other electrical devices remain on after turning off the engine, indicating the vehicle hasn't been fully powered down. 2. Vehicle not in P gear or key not removed: If the warning appears, it could mean the transmission isn't shifted to P position or the ignition key hasn't been removed.

What is the reason for the inability to raise or lower the driver's window in the new Focus?

The reason for the inability to raise or lower the driver's window in the new Focus is either a damaged window regulator or a fault in the control circuit. Damage to the regulator components or issues such as short circuits, open circuits, or poor connections in the control circuit will cause the driver's window to malfunction. The new Focus uses an electric window regulator, which consists of a motor, reducer, guide rope, guide plate, glass mounting bracket, and other components. The master switch is controlled by the driver to open and close all windows, while the individual switches on each door handle allow the driver to control each window separately. To initialize the window, turn on the ignition switch, pull and hold the switch to raise the window to the top, continue holding for more than 3 seconds, then release and immediately press and hold the switch to lower the window to the bottom for more than 3 seconds. Repeat the raising action once more to complete the initialization process and restore the window's functionality. This method is effective for most models. If the function is not restored, it is necessary to visit a professional repair shop for inspection. When using the electric window regulator, be cautious of small cards or other foreign objects in the window gap. If not handled properly, these objects may fall into the door interior. The internal structure of the door is complex, and objects falling inside can cause a series of chain reactions, such as regulator damage, door malfunction, or drainage port blockage.

Can Dishwashing Liquid Be Used to Wash Cars? Will It Damage the Car Paint?

Dishwashing liquid should not be used for washing cars. Since dishwashing liquid is primarily designed for kitchen grease, dirt on dishes, and fruits and vegetables, it is not effective in cleaning stains on car paint. Moreover, long-term use can damage the car paint, causing the body's paint to lose its luster. Here are some tips about car washing: 1. Choose car wash wax or car wash liquid: Both of these detergents can clean stains on car paint, but car wash wax also provides better protection for the paint. After washing, car wash wax can make the car body appear brighter and more lustrous. Since there is not much price difference between car wash wax and car wash liquid, it is recommended that car owners opt for car wash wax first. 2. Precautions: It is best to wash the car in the evening. During other times, the sunlight is too strong, which can cause significant damage to the car paint, potentially leading to cracking or bubbling. Additionally, after washing, do not leave the car in direct sunlight; instead, place it in a well-ventilated and dry area. Otherwise, water droplets evaporating can cause uneven heating of the car body, leading to localized high temperatures. Over time, this can easily damage the car paint, resulting in a dull appearance.
