4S shop painting quality is relatively more reliable. Vehicles processed at 4S shops need to undergo mutual quality inspections between various processes, as well as final inspection by quality inspectors before delivery. Manufacturers also have a relatively complete service supervision system to protect customer rights. Some paint and beauty shops have imperfect supervision and service systems, which may lead to difficulties in safeguarding rights later. Precautions after car painting: 1. Pay attention to cleaning after painting: Try not to use water other than soft water, including hot water, alkaline water, and water with high hardness, as these components can damage the paint. If hard water is used to clean the vehicle, it will leave marks on the car paint surface after drying. 2. Avoid exposure: Do not expose the car to strong sunlight, and do not wash the car immediately after the engine cools down, as this will also affect the car's paint surface, thereby accelerating the aging of the paint. 2. Do not use high-pressure water flow to rinse the car body: If there is hard dirt on the car, it can be soaked with water first and then rinsed with water. Pay attention to the water flow method; dispersed water flow should be used for cleaning, as excessive water pressure can also damage the car paint surface. 3. Use detergents: If there are stains on the car body that are difficult to clean, detergents with different properties should be selected. If there are dead insects or other animal and plant juices on the car body, they should be soaked with soapy water first; then cleaned with a water-soaked sponge.

Why can't the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 start?

Reasons why the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 can't start: If the engine fails to start when the battery has power, it could be due to a malfunction in certain electronic devices, in which case the trouble codes should be read. When starting the engine, the battery needs to have power, the starter needs to work, the ignition system needs to function, and the fuel supply system must also operate properly. It's possible that a fault exists in one of these systems. The ignition system mainly consists of spark plugs and ignition coils, with spark plugs being a wearable part that requires regular replacement. If spark plugs are used for an extended period without replacement, the electrode gap may widen, affecting the spark plug's ability to ignite. The Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 measures 4696 mm in length, 1850 mm in width, and 1712 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712 mm. The new vehicle is equipped with the updated WindLink3.0 AI in-car system, featuring AI intelligent voice functionality to control various vehicle functions.

Where is the automatic headlight sensor located?

The sensor for automatic headlights is located under the front radiator grille of the vehicle. Additional information about automatic headlights is as follows: 1. Automatic headlights are a light-sensing control system installed on headlights by some car manufacturers for user convenience. When the light intensity exceeds or falls below a certain threshold, the headlights will automatically turn on or off. 2. When the light dims while driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. 3. There is a delay in the activation of automatic headlights. The headlights will only turn on automatically within a few seconds after the light-sensing system detects dimming light. According to traffic regulations, headlights must be turned on before entering a tunnel. Therefore, it is still necessary to manually turn on the headlights in advance when passing through a tunnel.
