Indicator light SOS on the car dashboard is the vehicle's self-help rescue system. The relevant introduction about car dashboards is as follows: Car Dashboard: The car dashboard consists of various meters, indicators, especially warning lights and alarms for the driver, providing the necessary vehicle operating parameter information. According to the working principle of car dashboards, they can be roughly divided into three generations. Update: The first generation of car dashboards is mechanical movement meters, the second generation is called electrical meters, and the third generation is fully digital car dashboards, which are networked and intelligent meters with more powerful functions, richer display content, and simpler wiring harness connections. Third Generation: Most car dashboards are third-generation meters, which can drive the base meter pointer through a stepper motor, or directly display graphics or text information using an LCD screen, and also have intelligent processing units that can interact with other vehicle control units.

Does Touch-Up Paint at a Repair Shop Affect After-Sales Service?

Touch-up paint at a repair shop does not affect after-sales service. The vehicle's paint is not covered under the vehicle's warranty, so touch-up paint will not impact warranty service. Color selection for touch-up paint: When performing touch-up paint, it is important to ensure the paint is properly mixed. Over time, vehicles experience fading, so the paint must be matched to the current body color. Touch-up paint based on the specific damage: For minor paint damage, such as small dots, a dedicated touch-up pen can be used to apply a small amount of paint. This prevents rust formation and is barely noticeable, avoiding the need for extensive repainting. For fine scratches, such as those from tree branches or car washes, applying car wax multiple times can usually reduce the visibility of the scratches. If the vehicle has noticeable scratches or the paint is chipped down to the primer, immediate repair is necessary to prevent rust formation, which can lead to large-scale corrosion and significant damage to the vehicle's surface.

Why must hill-start parking be within 30 centimeters?

The reason hill-start parking must be within 30 centimeters is: the vehicle should not be too close to the center of the road nor too close to the roadside, requiring the parking position to be in a reasonable state. Parking position: Before parking, carefully observe the intended parking spot, turn on the turn signal, slowly approach the parking space (avoid excessive speed), and monitor the situation around the vehicle to prevent collisions with pedestrians or other vehicles. Parking on slopes: If the parking spot has a significant slope, after exiting the vehicle, find a large stone or brick to place under the wheel to prevent rolling. When placing the stone or brick: for uphill parking, position it behind the wheel; for downhill parking, place it in front of the wheel.

What is the reason for blow-by gas at the engine oil filler port?

The reason for blow-by gas at the engine oil filler port is: After the engine is ignited, the crankcase will have a certain pressure, and the oil pump will also pump oil to the cylinder head, which is a normal phenomenon. Fuel must be clean: If the fuel contains a high amount of impurities, it will accelerate the wear of the electric fuel pump and reduce its service life. If the fuel is not clean, it can also cause clogging of the fuel filter and fuel injectors, affecting the fuel supply pressure and normal injection volume, thereby reducing the engine's performance. Correct selection of fuel: The engine has high requirements for fuel quality and grade, and the requirements for electronic fuel injection engines are even higher. For cars equipped with catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, only unleaded high-grade gasoline can be used. If leaded gasoline is used, the exhaust catalytic converter will fail after driving more than 400 kilometers, the oxygen sensor will also malfunction, and the normal operation of the engine will be affected.

Will hitting the curb with the rear tire damage the suspension?

Hitting the curb with the rear tire can damage the suspension. Introduction to the suspension system: The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while cushioning the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampening the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. If there are issues with the suspension, it should be immediately inspected and repaired at a 4S shop. Hazards of hitting the curb with tires: Hitting the curb with tires can affect the tires, rims, suspension, and shock absorbers. In severe cases, it can damage the tires, causing sidewall bulges, blowouts, rim deformation, or even suspension damage, leading to body distortion, unusual noises, and damage to the shock absorbers and steering system. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid hitting curbs or forcing the car onto them.

Does the new car have radar?

New cars have radar. The functions of automotive radar are as follows: The full name of the car radar is "reverse anti-collision radar" or "parking assist radar", which is used to detect the distance between the car body and other vehicles or obstacles. It alerts the driver through sound or display to avoid unnecessary friction or collisions during parking or reversing. Radar components: The reverse radar consists of a display, controller, and ultrasonic sensors. The display alerts the driver when the distance between the car and an obstacle reaches a dangerous range; the controller processes signals and calculates the position and distance of obstacles; the ultrasonic sensors send and receive ultrasonic signals, transmit them to the main unit, and display the processed information on the screen.
