Reasons why the Buick car key cannot be pulled out: Improper Return: The reason the key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine is that the gear is not fully returned to the P position, or there are obstacles like coins in the gear slot preventing it from returning. In this case, the owner should check if there are any foreign objects blocking the gear slot, remove them, start the car, shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned, and then the key can be pulled out. Automatic Lock: The inability to pull out the key is due to the car's steering wheel automatic lock function, a very simple anti-theft feature. This usually happens because, after parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel was accidentally turned left or right, or the wheels were not straight when parking. Any force applied can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-lock function, which engages the steering lock pin with the steering column. As a result, the steering wheel cannot move, and the key cannot be pulled out. Obstruction by Foreign Objects: If there are foreign objects blocking the gear slot, remove them, start the car, and shift the gear again. Ensure it is fully returned, and the key can then be pulled out.

How to Turn On the Low Beam Headlights of Qoros 3?

On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a control similar to the wiper switch that manages the fog lights and low beam; rotate it twice to turn on the low beam. Directly switch to the low beam, and a low beam indicator icon will appear. If the high beam is on, push the left turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel downward, and the high beam indicator will display on the instrument panel. Return to the normal position by pulling the lever toward yourself twice, which will bring it back to its original position, toggling between low and high beams.

What to Do When You Can't See Through the Side Windows of Your Car in the Rain?

Apply toothpaste or soap evenly on the side windows of the car, wait for a while until the applied soap hardens, and then wipe it off with a towel. Spray glass water repellent evenly on the car windows and rearview mirrors, and a protective film will form on the surface of the rearview mirrors. If the side windows inside the car fog up, turn on the car's air conditioning defogging function and adjust the air outlet angle to face the windows. For fog and water droplets on the rearview mirrors, if your car has a rearview mirror heating function, turn it on, and the fog will be effectively removed within 3-5 minutes.
