The reasons for the sudden blackout of the central control screen in a Geely car are poor line contact and prolonged screen usage. Poor line contact: It is necessary to promptly check whether there is a loose connection in the wiring. If there is, it will naturally cause the central control screen to go black. In this case, simply reconnect the loose part properly. Of course, it could also be due to aging of the power signal line. You can try replacing it with a new one. If the black screen issue is resolved, it confirms that the problem indeed lies with the power signal line. Prolonged screen usage: This can cause the power supply module to malfunction, leading not only to lag but also to the black screen phenomenon observed today.

Oh dear, my Geely's center console suddenly went black, which I think is quite a common issue. Most likely it's a blown fuse—the fuse box in Geely models is located under the steering wheel. Just open it up and check if the fuse corresponding to the center console has blown, then replace it. Another possibility is that the screen has frozen; try turning off the ignition and restarting the car—sometimes the system just needs a reboot to recover. Poor wiring connections could also be the culprit, like a loose plug or corrosion due to moisture, which often happens on bumpy roads. Overall, Geely's center consoles are reliable, but aging electronic modules can increase the failure rate. If none of the buttons respond, you should also check the power system to see if the battery voltage is too low, affecting the display function. When driving, it's best not to ignore minor issues to avoid affecting air conditioning control or navigation usage—it's safer to get a quick check-up at the repair shop first.

I've been driving this Geely car for several years, and the center console light has gone out a few times. The main reasons usually come down to three points: blown fuses are the most common issue. In Geely's design, the fuse location is easy to access, and most of the time, it burns out due to excessive current—promptly check and replace it. Wiring faults, such as short circuits or broken circuits, can also cause power loss, often due to rodents chewing wires or aging—Geely's chassis wiring requires attention to corrosion prevention. Lastly, control unit malfunctions, like module overheating or software crashes, can cause the screen to go black. When driving, be cautious if the center console isn't lighting up—don't force it to keep running, as you might miss important warning signals. Stop as soon as possible and try a reset or warm-up operation. If that doesn’t work, have a technician inspect the electrical system details. Geely service centers usually handle such issues quickly.

The center console of the Geely car is not lighting up, and I suspect it's mostly caused by an electronic malfunction. It could be a screen module failure, which tends to crash in hot weather; or an unstable power supply system, such as abnormal alternator output. A short circuit in the wiring can also cause an instant power outage. The wiring harness of the Geely car's center console is simple but requires attention to waterproofing. Modern cars rely on software, and system bugs leading to display failures are not uncommon. Solution: Restart the car to see if it recovers; if not, seek professional diagnosis.

Can a Purchased Driver's License with Records Be Used?

Purchased driver's licenses with records cannot be used because these records are mainly based on copying others' driver's license information. Although criminals can generate highly realistic records, the relevant information cannot be uploaded to the vehicle management office's data center. Once discovered, the deception will be exposed immediately. Moreover, purchasing a driver's license itself is illegal. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners obtain their licenses through legal channels. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: License Issuance Time: If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the license will be renewed with a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, the license will be renewed with a long-term validity. Examination Content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Each subject requires prior appointment before taking the test (special circumstances may be scheduled through the driving test green channel).

Is a Water-Submerged Car Considered Totaled?

Automobiles submerged in water are not necessarily considered totaled. Generally, water-damaged vehicles are categorized into three different levels: If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is referred to as a water-immersed vehicle; if the water level surpasses the oil dipstick, it can be termed a semi-submerged vehicle; and if the water level has gone beyond the engine hood or the dashboard panel, then it is called a fully submerged vehicle. Here are the recommended actions for a water-submerged car: 1. Do not attempt to start the vehicle after it has been submerged in water; 2. Call for a rescue tow truck and inform your insurance company of the repair shop location where the car will be taken, so that the claims adjuster can assess the damage; 3. While waiting for rescue, if conditions permit, disconnect the vehicle's power, shift into neutral, and push the car to a safe location.

Can Water-Damaged Leather Seats Be Restored?

Generally, water-damaged leather seats can be restored. Since genuine leather has certain waterproof properties, if the surface shows no signs of swelling or loosening, simple treatment followed by air drying can restore them. However, if the seats have been soaked for an extended period with severe water saturation, leading to swelling and loosening of the leather, professional restoration at an auto detailing center may be required. After leather seats are soaked in water, use a damp cloth with neutral or alkaline cleaning products to gently wipe the seat surface and remove any stains. For stubborn stains, slightly increase the proportion of cleaner. After cleaning, use a soft towel to dry the surface moisture and allow the seats to air dry naturally. During the drying process, avoid using a hair dryer for quick drying or exposing the seats to direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather. Leather seat maintenance tips: Regularly clean leather seats using neutral or alkaline cleaning products, and avoid chemical cleaners with unknown ingredients to prevent leather corrosion. It's best to park the car indoors to minimize sun exposure and prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.

How Many Months Should You Not Exceed When Buying Tires?

New tires should not be purchased if they have been in storage for more than three years after production. According to the domestic trade industry standard "Technical Specifications for Tire Claims," the claim period (including unused tires and those under normal use) is calculated from the production date of the tire, with a three-year period being the valid claim duration. The domestic trade industry standard "Specifications for Tire Marketing Management" further stipulates that tire dealers should not sell tires that are not eligible for claims. Below is relevant information: Specific reasons: The aging of rubber products like tires leads to significant changes in their physical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, and wear resistance. The aforementioned industry standards are linked to the general lifespan limits of tires, reflecting the common consensus in the tire distribution industry regarding quality control. Additional information: Every tire has a production date, and it is important to be aware of your tire's usage period and mileage. Exceeding this period or mileage can result in severe tire wear, potentially compromising their ability to perform adequately. Therefore, it is crucial to keep track of your vehicle's tire production dates to avoid potential issues.
