Reasons and solutions for difficulty starting in cold weather are as follows: 1. Battery charge issue: Due to battery plate shedding or incorrect acid-base balance ratio, the battery may not hold enough charge. Solution: Regularly check the battery. If the battery has been completely drained more than twice, it is recommended to replace it with a new one. 2. Carbon deposits: Long-term driving in low temperatures, poor gasoline quality, prolonged vehicle use, or oil burning can easily lead to carbon buildup. Solution: Use professional gasoline additives designed to clean carbon deposits. 3. Frozen exhaust pipe or excessive valve carbon deposits: Solution: Drive on the highway every weekend in winter to use strong exhaust force to promptly remove accumulated water in the exhaust pipe. 4. Restricted oil flow: Solution: Visit a specialized shop for professional winter maintenance and replace the oil with a suitable type based on local conditions.

What do REST and SYNC mean in a car?

REST: Uses the residual heat from the engine for heating after the ignition is turned off. SYNC: All air conditioning zones adopt the settings from the driver's side. SYNC also means synchronization—whenever SYNC is pressed, the other zones of the three-zone air conditioning system immediately synchronize to the temperature set in the driver's zone. Additional information: SYNC in a car likely refers to the synchronization button of a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system. When the button light is on, the temperature from both sides of the car's air vents will be the same and adjust synchronously. This means when you adjust the temperature on one side, both air vents will actually output the same temperature. When the air conditioning is turned on, simply setting different temperatures on both sides will automatically turn off SYNC.

Will wiping car paint with alcohol cause it to lose its gloss?

Wiping a car with alcohol can have a certain impact on the paint. Alcohol is an organic solvent that can dissolve paint. The paint on a car's body is not significantly different from regular paint, so using alcohol to clean the car can cause some damage to the paint surface. Additional information: For minor scratches or marks caused by splashed mud, you can use scratch wax to polish the affected area. Stop polishing once the scratch disappears or becomes barely visible to the naked eye. Prolonged use of scratch wax can damage the clear coat, leading to more scratches over time. First, rinse the car with water, apply car wash soap, rinse again, and then dry it. Avoid using corrosive solutions when wiping the car. If there are stains, it is recommended to use a dedicated automotive adhesive remover.
