If the rim is scratched, you can take it to a professional rim repair facility for restoration. Below are some relevant introductions regarding rim scratches: 1. Severe: Consider going to a decoration shop or a sheet metal paint shop for repair treatment. The main process involves polishing the scratched area with an angle grinder and steel wire brush until it is leveled. The polished area will appear very shiny, and then you need to consider matching the original wheel color for paint application and drying. The appearance will not differ from the original. 2. No impact on use: Consider installing a vehicle-specific plastic cover. In other words, to make the exposed steel rim look more aesthetically pleasing, you can consider adding a plastic cover over the steel rim.

What do T and L mean in cars?

In cars, L stands for naturally aspirated, while T represents turbocharging. Here are more details about L and T in cars: 1. T is the abbreviation for Turbo, referring to an engine equipped with a turbocharging device. For example, 1.8T means a 1.8-liter displacement engine with an added turbocharging device. The turbocharging device can alter the engine's air intake, allowing fuel to burn more completely in the cylinders, thereby increasing the engine's output power. 2. L is the unit for naturally aspirated engine displacement in liters, indicating the engine's exhaust volume. For instance, 1.8L means the engine has a 1.8-liter displacement.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse of Tiggo 8 located?

The cigarette lighter fuse of Tiggo 8 is located in the fuse box behind the left lower side panel of the instrument panel. The fuse box must be kept clean and protected from moisture when opened. Do not use a fuse with a rated current value higher than the specified value, as this may damage other components of the electrical system. Precautions for using fuses are as follows: 1. The color and markings of the replaced fuse must be exactly the same as those of the original fuse. 2. Do not use metal sheets, paper clips, etc. to replace the fuse. 3. The electrical box must be kept clean and protected from moisture. 4. All electrical equipment must be turned off before replacing the fuse.

Why are pop-up headlights banned in China?

Because the safety protection for people has been included in the protection scope, the pop-up headlight design often causes parts to scatter upon impact, increasing the risk of injury to pedestrians and even vehicle occupants, hence the ban. Additionally, as manufacturing and design began to lag behind the overall technological advancements in the automotive industry, and due to changes in aesthetic preferences, the market demand for pop-up headlight models continued to decline. Even in regions where production was not banned, automakers gradually phased out this design. Pop-up headlights are a type of hidden headlight: When the headlights are off, they are recessed inside the vehicle's front hood. When the headlights are turned on, they flip upward. Not only the AE86 and RX-7, but many classic car models also adopted the "pop-up headlight" design. If two separate headlights were designed specifically to meet regulatory height requirements, it would appear very awkward. After much deliberation, engineers came up with the hidden headlight design. When the headlights are not in use, they blend seamlessly with the engine hood, providing excellent aerodynamic efficiency. When the headlights are turned on, they lift upward, ensuring the headlight height meets regulatory standards. The design of "pop-up headlights": The "pop-up headlight" design increases the vehicle's drag coefficient, which is unacceptable to engineers today who strive to reduce drag coefficients by even 0.01. Furthermore, the "pop-up headlight" design requires additional mechanical components, which carry a higher risk of malfunction. For the increasingly popular xenon headlights, the internal space of "pop-up headlights" is too cramped, making it difficult to install the necessary components for xenon lights.

What does 'mode' mean on a car?

In cars, 'mode' generally refers to a mode or direction. With the increasing number of functions in modern vehicles, most manufacturers use English abbreviations to label function buttons. If 'mode' is located on the multifunction steering wheel, it serves as a button to control multimedia switching, allowing you to toggle between FM radio, AM radio, CD, or USB modes. Additionally, when listening to the radio, CD, or an external audio source, pressing the MODE button will synchronize the display between the tachometer and speedometer with the MMI system. Then, by pressing the button to the left of the MODE key, you can scroll through songs on the central display screen. Pressing the scroll wheel down confirms the song change, and pressing MODE again returns to normal mode.

What is the difference between Quartz 5000 and 7000?

Quartz 7000 performs better in terms of low fuel consumption and cold-start performance, while Quartz 5000 has slightly better anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties. Both Quartz 5000 and Quartz 7000 are Total's semi-synthetic lubricants, but Quartz 5000 is slightly lower in grade compared to Quartz 7000. Even though both have an API rating of SN, Quartz 5000 also has two SM ratings. In terms of cost-performance ratio, Quartz 5000 is higher than Quartz 7000. Quartz 7000: Although Quartz 7000 is a semi-synthetic lubricant, it also features smooth performance in reducing fuel consumption and cold starts. Even under harsh driving conditions, it ensures excellent engine power performance. Additionally, Quartz 7000 offers good anti-wear protection and long-lasting engine cleaning performance. Quartz 7000 has an API rating of SN and comes in two viscosity grades: 5W-30 and 10W-40. Quartz 5000: Like Quartz 7000, Quartz 5000 also has advantages such as reduced fuel consumption and smooth cold starts. It also features excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties, as well as protection for turbochargers. It can be understood as the predecessor to Quartz 7000, with slightly lower performance. Its API and viscosity grades are SN 5W-30, SN 10W-40, SM 5W-30, and SM 10W-40.
