Last time I drove the Maxus V80, I also encountered the issue of the dashboard backlight not working, which was particularly nerve-wracking when driving on the highway at night. Don’t rush to dismantle the dashboard just yet—you can check a few things first: see if the brightness adjustment knob for the lights was accidentally turned off; this knob is located below the left side of the steering wheel. Then, open the fuse box near the driver’s left knee area and look for the fuse related to the dashboard backlight. Refer to the icons on the cover or the manual to locate the exact position. If the fuse is blown, simply replace it with a new one of the same specification. If everything seems normal, the issue might be a loose connector behind the dashboard, requiring the removal of the dashboard panel to reconnect it securely. In my case, it was a poor connection—once I reinserted it firmly, the backlight worked again. If you can’t figure it out, it’s safer to take it to a 4S shop for professional diagnosis, as DIY disassembly can easily damage the clips.

What Causes the Vehicle Body to Touch the Edge Line During Parallel Parking?

When the vehicle body touches the edge line during parallel parking, it is usually because the left rear tire of the vehicle either fails to roll over the dashed line or has already crossed it when the steering wheel is turned to full lock during reversing. It is important to note that the steering action should be performed swiftly. Below are some precautions for parallel parking: 1. Speed: Pay attention to the vehicle speed during parallel parking. A slow speed ensures the vehicle enters the parking space smoothly, while excessive speed may lead to delayed steering response, resulting in incorrect parking and crossing the line. 2. Direction: When starting from the parking space, the right turn signal must be used; otherwise, 10 points will be deducted.

What Causes White Smoke from a Car Engine?

Engine emits white smoke due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient temperature: When the engine temperature is too low, part of the fuel-air mixture injected into the cylinders fails to combust, resulting in white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Therefore, after starting the engine, pay attention to maintaining the radiator's temperature by operating at medium throttle until the engine temperature reaches above 50°C before gradually increasing the load. 2. Water in diesel fuel: The presence of water in diesel directly affects the normal combustion of the air-fuel mixture, causing white smoke. In this case, drain the sediment from the fuel tank, remove any accumulated water, and replace the diesel if necessary.

Does Waterlogged Floor Mats Count as a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

Waterlogged floor mats do indicate a flood-damaged vehicle. Below are specific methods to identify such vehicles: 1. Presence of rust: If the steering column shows signs of rust, or if rust is found on the seat rails or their mounting screws, the car is likely flood-damaged. 2. Wiring harness beneath carpet: Under the driver’s side carpet lies a cluster of wiring harnesses. The presence of sediment within these wires suggests water immersion. 3. Water marks in corners: Inspect the trunk by lifting its cover panel to check for water marks in corners and examine the rust condition of onboard tools.

How to Adjust the Odometer on a Motorcycle?

Most can be adjusted by reversing. Here are the relevant details: 1. Brake Pads and Brake Discs: The purpose of adjusting the odometer on a used motorcycle is to sell it at a higher price with a lower mileage. Therefore, other parts of the vehicle are usually not adjusted to save costs. Hence, checking the condition of parts like the brake disc can help identify if the odometer has been tampered with. 2. Chain Wear: The transmission method is generally chain-driven, with a few using belt drives. For chain-driven vehicles, the chain will wear over time during use, requiring regular maintenance and adjustment of its length. The adjusted chain length can be observed on the motorcycle's rear swingarm.
