That is because the reading light inside the car is turned on. There is a reading light knob at the lower left of the dashboard, which controls the overhead light. Rotate it to turn it off. Extended information: Exterior: The overall design of the new Lavida looks very simple and neat, maintaining the family-style home sedan. The side lines are elegant, with subtly dynamic waistlines. The front grille features a black honeycomb design, giving it a strong sporty feel. Notably, the taillights have been upgraded to smoked taillights, and the large blade-style combination taillights, paired with an invisible rear spoiler, subtly enhance its sporty appearance. Interior: The interior features dark-colored decorations with chrome trim. The steering wheel's grip and the leather texture of the seats provide a comfortable feel. A highlight is the new chocolate color scheme, and the design of the center console is more refined and stylish compared to the older model.

I've been driving the Lavida for several years, and it's quite common to encounter the issue where the dome light won't turn off. The main reason is usually that the car door isn't fully closed, so the sensor doesn't detect the door's closed state, and the light stays on by default. Alternatively, the dome light switch itself might be stuck in the on position. I've tried gently pushing the door frame before—sometimes the contacts get rusty or dirty, and the signal is restored. If this isn't resolved quickly, the battery can drain fast, leaving you stranded the next day when the car won't start. My advice is to first check each door and the trunk to ensure they're properly closed, then press the switch a few times to reset it. If the light remains on, it could be a wiring issue or a fault in the body control module, so it's best to take it to a professional repair shop promptly. Don't attempt to dismantle it yourself to avoid causing further damage. Safety first!

I recently encountered an issue with the overhead light in my Lavida that wouldn't turn off, which was quite annoying. It's most likely caused by a door not being closed properly, resulting in the door sensor not functioning, or a switch malfunction. I once solved it by gently tapping near the driver's door lock, and the light went off—probably just a poor contact. I suggest you don't ignore this issue, as prolonged battery discharge can shorten its lifespan, and the repair isn't complicated. A quick check and part replacement at a 4S shop or roadside garage can solve it for around a hundred yuan, making your daily driving much more worry-free.

Where Does Water Accumulation in the Back Seat of a Car Come From?

Detailed explanations for the causes of water leakage or even accumulation in the back seat of a car are as follows: 1. Damage or blockage of the vehicle's air conditioning drain pipe: The moisture inside the air conditioning system cannot circulate, turning into liquid that flows into the interior of the vehicle. 2. Leakage from the vehicle's sunroof: Water will flow into the interior of the vehicle, causing accumulation. 3. Poor sealing of the vehicle's doors: Damage to the door panels can lead to water splashing into the car when driving through waterlogged areas. 4. Human factors: For example, accidentally spilling water inside the car. If the water accumulation in the back seat is due to human factors, it is essential to clean it up promptly to avoid significant impact on the vehicle.

Can electronic driver's licenses be used in Guangzhou?

Electronic driver's licenses can be used in Guangzhou. Below is relevant information about the electronic version of driver's licenses: 1. Description: An electronic driver's license is a type of license designed to prevent situations where some drivers forget to bring their physical licenses, avoiding the embarrassment of not having a license and also applicable for simplified penalty procedures in traffic violations involving fines of three points or less. 2. Development Progress: On April 12, 2017, Yancheng traffic police introduced an "electronic driver's license," primarily to provide convenience to the public, not to advocate or encourage drivers to not carry their physical licenses. On May 10, 2021, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to announce 12 convenience measures under the "Do Practical Things for the People" initiative to deepen the reform of "streamlining administration, delegating power, and improving government services" in public security and traffic management, declaring that starting from June 1, 2021, electronic motor vehicle driver's licenses would be piloted in three cities: Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou.

Can the vehicle inspection be done at any vehicle management office?

Vehicle inspection can be done at any vehicle management office. As long as it is within the vehicle's registration area, any vehicle management office can perform the inspection. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to 60 days in advance, so it's important to schedule the time appropriately to avoid expiration. Once expired, there will be a fine and a deduction of 3 points. Before the inspection, it's also necessary to check for any traffic violation records. If there are any, they must be resolved; otherwise, the inspection will not be conducted. Below are the materials that should be brought for the inspection: 1. Original vehicle license and road/bridge card. 2. Copy of compulsory traffic insurance. 3. Road/bridge ticket. 4. Copy of the owner's ID card. 5. The vehicle itself.

What is the Car Brake Pedal?

Car brake pedal refers to the pedal used for braking. Below is a detailed introduction about car brakes: 1. Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. 2. Brake Pads: Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc rotating with the wheel. The friction linings and friction blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.

Why Shouldn't You Engage the Handbrake When Parking on Rainy Days?

The reason why you shouldn't engage the handbrake when parking on rainy days is that the handbrake and brake discs are prone to rust after coming into contact with water. Here are detailed explanations about automotive brakes: 1. Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. 2. Brake Pads: Automotive brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drums or brake discs of wheels. The friction linings and friction blocks within them withstand external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration.
