Whether the gear shift can't move mainly depends on whether it's an automatic or manual transmission car. The specific details are as follows: Automatic transmission car gear shift can't move: It may be due to gear lock, or not fully braking when parking, directly shifting into P gear, causing gear braking instead of wheel braking. Or the whole car is not powered, and the automatic transmission is in self-protection mode, which also prevents shifting. You can perform a gear unlock by pressing the black button above the P gear on the transmission. Manual transmission car gear shift can't move: It might be an issue with the clutch. In this case, you can go to a repair shop for adjustment. If it's difficult to shift into a specific gear, it should be a problem with the linkage between the gear lever and the transmission's shifting mechanism. First, adjust the shift control mechanism; if that doesn't work, you'll have to repair the transmission.

How to Repair Cracked Car Leather?

Car leather can be repaired using acrylic resin or non-woven fabric lining. The specific methods are as follows: Repairing small cracks: When small cracks appear on genuine leather seats, lay the cracked area flat on a workbench, apply acrylic resin into the crack, align the edges of the crack, and dry it with a hair dryer. Repairing larger tears: For larger tears on genuine leather seats, first lay the torn area flat on a workbench. Take a piece of non-woven fabric lining slightly larger than the tear, insert it from the opening to pad underneath the tear, and spread it flat. Then apply leather adhesive into the tear, align the edges neatly, place a layer of cotton cloth over the tear, and press it with an iron to set the shape. Once the leather surface is smooth, remove the padding cloth and dry it with a hair dryer.

What Needs to Be Checked Before a Long-Distance Trip?

Check the tires, brake pads, fluid levels, and lights. The specific details are as follows: Tires: First, confirm the tire pressure. The standard tire pressure for most cars is between 2.2-2.5 bar. If it is below 2.0 bar, inflate the tires immediately. After checking the tire pressure, inspect the sidewalls for bulges or cuts. If there are bulges, replace the tire immediately as it cannot be repaired. For cuts, check the depth—if the inner cords are visible, the cut is deep, and it is best to replace the tire. Brake Pads: If the car has alloy wheels, the brake pads are easily visible. The minimum thickness should not be less than 3 mm. Fluid Levels: Check the engine oil by pulling out the dipstick. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. If it is below the minimum level, inspect promptly for leaks, oil burning, or if it is time for maintenance.

Why can't I play music via Bluetooth in my car but can hear incoming calls?

If your car's Bluetooth connection can't play music, it might be because the volume on the car's navigation system or your phone isn't turned on, or the multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth isn't enabled. You should check these settings carefully. The reasons why there's no sound after connecting to the car's Bluetooth are as follows: Low volume: The volume on the car's navigation system or your phone isn't turned on. Incompatible pairing code: Some phones (like the iPhone) have music playback programming that's incompatible with certain car models' pairing codes, so you can only answer calls but not listen to music. Music feature not enabled: The multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth isn't enabled. Signal interference: The media audio on your phone isn't turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function.
