If you lose your car key and need to go to a 4S store, you should bring your driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and relevant purchase documents. The 4S store will use the provided information to obtain the vehicle's anti-theft password and configure a new key. Precautions for keeping car keys: 1. Do not leave the spare key in the car: Modern car anti-theft systems are generally designed to protect the engine. Even if a thief makes a duplicate key to open the door, they cannot start the engine and drive the car away. However, the spare key can start the engine, so it must never be left in the car and should not be used as a regular key for long-term use. 2. Handle with care, protect from magnets and water: Dropping the car key or getting it wet can easily damage the internal chip components, causing the key to malfunction. In daily use, avoid subjecting the car key to severe impacts, exposure to liquids, and strong magnetic fields. Even if the key is not lost, if it is damaged, you will still need to spend money to replace it.

How High is the Trunk Temperature in Summer?

In summer, the trunk temperature can reach over 60 degrees Celsius. However, generally, the interior temperature of the car is higher than that of the trunk. The following are the reasons for the high temperature inside the car in summer: 1. Transparent Windshield: Relatively speaking, the temperature in the cabin is higher than that in the trunk during summer because the front windshield of the cabin is almost transparent. 2. Easy Radiation Entry: External sunlight and radiation easily enter the car, so the temperature in the cabin rises faster than in the trunk. 3. Prolonged Exposure to Sunlight: If the car is exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, whether it's the cabin or the trunk, the entire interior temperature will become extremely high, and the flow of hot air inside will make the temperature uniform everywhere. It is also closely related to the conditions under which the car is parked.

What Causes the Car to Roll Backward When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Here are the specific reasons for the car rolling backward when reversing into a parking space: 1. Stalling on a slope: The car stalls during a hill start, and if the brake is not pressed in time after stalling, the car will roll backward. 2. Poor coordination: Inadequate coordination between the clutch and the brake, releasing the brake before the car has enough starting power is another reason for the car rolling backward. Below are some extended tips to prevent the car from rolling backward when reversing into a parking space: 1. Clutch: The clutch should be pressed quickly and released slowly. Before starting, slowly lift the clutch until it reaches the semi-engaged state, then stop lifting and maintain this state. 2. Brake: When the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state and the car shakes noticeably, gently release the brake. Once the car starts moving, fully release the brake. Whether pressing or releasing the brake, it should be done slowly, as pressing the brake abruptly can easily cause the car to stall.

What Causes Loud Wiper Noise?

When the wiper blades scrape loudly and feel dry, it is usually caused by aging rubber strips, requiring replacement of new wiper blades. Most cases of squeaky wipers with poor cleaning performance result from worn and roughened rubber strips, which generate abnormal noises during operation or fail to completely remove rainwater, making it difficult to see clearly while driving in rainy weather. Below are precautions for daily wiper usage: 1. Maintain proper moisture when using wipers daily: Ensure the rubber wiper strips retain adequate moisture during regular use. Only with sufficient moisture can they maintain excellent flexibility and tight contact with the windshield. Insufficient moisture on the windshield during dry wiping may produce counterproductive results. 2. Wait until more raindrops accumulate before activating wipers: If raindrops accumulate slowly without obstructing visibility, it's best to delay wiper activation until more droplets gather. When using wipers in light rain, always spray windshield washer fluid first to ensure adequate moisture for lubricating the wiper blades.

How to Identify the Year from the VIN Number?

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be used to determine the production year of a car. Here is the relevant information: 1. The 10th character of the VIN indicates the production year of the vehicle, but the specific production month cannot be identified. The year could be represented by either a number or a letter, with the codes cycling every 30 years. Note that the letter 'O' and the number '10' are not used. 2. VIN, short for Vehicle Identification Number, is what we commonly refer to as the chassis number or frame number. It consists of 17 characters and serves as the unique identifier for a car, much like a 'ID card' for the vehicle. 3. The VIN is usually located at the lower left corner of the front windshield, on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock post, or door edge. It can also be found in the engine compartment. If not found in these locations, it might be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. The VIN contains information such as the country of manufacture, manufacturer, year, model, and engine type.
