Reasons why the car remote key can't unlock the door: 1. Check the battery: There are usually two possibilities: the car battery is low on power, or the key battery is dead. Regardless of how you plan to handle or repair it later, the first priority is to use the spare mechanical key to open the door. 2. Check the remote lock: First, see if the indicator light on the remote flashes when you press the unlock button. If it doesn't flash, the issue lies with the remote itself. If it flashes but the car's central locking system doesn't respond, troubleshoot the central lock unlock wiring. 3. Check the electromagnetic lock: Use the key to lock the driver's door and see if the other locks engage. Remove the front driver's door panel to inspect whether the electromagnetic lock inside is properly positioned and check if the iron pull rod inside the door is functioning correctly.

What are the causes of glass breakage?

Glass is formed by melting silicon dioxide and other chemical substances together (the main production raw materials are: soda ash, limestone, quartz). There are 4 main reasons that cause glass breakage: 1. Glass damage leading to breakage: Scratches, surface corrosion, or chipped edges on the glass surface or edges due to careless handling, installation, or maintenance can easily disrupt the stress balance of the glass, triggering spontaneous breakage of tempered glass. 2. Breakage during installation: During the installation process, if the installation gap is too small or the glass directly contacts the frame, the different expansion coefficients of glass and frame under sunlight can generate compressive forces on the edges or corners of the glass, inducing breakage. 3. Breakage caused by glass processing: Glass with drilled holes or cut corners is prone to breakage. 4. Natural environmental factors causing glass breakage: Wind disasters such as strong typhoons can lead to the failure of wind pressure resistance design, resulting in glass breakage.

How to Refurbish Car Headlights?

Car headlights can be refurbished through polishing, which is the most commonly used method in car detailing shops. This repair method is fast, convenient, and effective for refurbishment, with low costs. Since the headlight surface is generally made of plastic rather than paint, the light transmittance decreases when the wax component on the surface wears off. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Clean the dust and dirt on the headlight surface. 2. Use tape to cover and protect the areas around the headlight that do not require refurbishment. 3. Sand the surface with water sandpaper. 4. After sanding, remove the powder, then use a towel dipped in polishing wax to polish in a circular motion.

How to Remove the ETC Device?

ETC device removal depends on blocking the anti-tamper switch. You can press the electronic tag firmly with your hand, then use a wallpaper knife to cut through the double-sided adhesive between the device and the windshield. Be sure to keep pressing the anti-tamper switch during the entire process and remove it carefully. Here are some important notes about ETC lanes: 1. Do not exceed the speed limit when passing through an ETC lane. The ETC lane sensing area is 8 meters, and the sensing speed is below 20km/h. Speeding may not only prevent the system from detecting your vehicle but could also result in penalty points. 2. If a driver mistakenly enters an ETC lane, making a U-turn is not considered a traffic violation. If there are no vehicles behind, you can reverse and enter an MTC lane or a manual toll lane to pay the toll in cash or by card. If there are vehicles behind, you can ask them to make way or seek assistance from toll station staff.

What maintenance is needed for a sedan at 10,000 kilometers?

The 10,000-kilometer maintenance is mostly the second maintenance for a car, also known as the second service. The specific maintenance items for a sedan at 10,000 kilometers are as follows: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter: The engine oil needs to be replaced at 10,000 kilometers. Since the oil plays a lubricating role during the operation of the car, as the vehicle usage time extends, the performance of the engine oil may degrade or even fail, so it needs to be replaced in time during vehicle maintenance. 2. Vehicle inspection: After driving 10,000 kilometers, the car's engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, tires, etc., need to be inspected to ensure the performance of the car during operation. 3. Clean or replace the air and cabin air filters: After driving 10,000 kilometers, it is recommended that the owner clean the air and cabin air filters. 4. Check various vehicle fluids: After driving 10,000 kilometers, it is necessary to check the coolant, brake fluid, tire pressure, etc. During the operation of the car, if there are abnormalities in the various fluids, abnormal wear may occur during the operation of the car, affecting its performance.
