Automatic headlights staying on during the day is usually a sensor issue. Sensor factors: For example, headlights will automatically turn on when entering tunnels, during rainy weather, or in dimly lit areas. Automatic headlights operate based on light intensity detection, so they may also activate on cloudy days, which is normal. If the headlights remain on in bright sunlight, you should visit an authorized brand service center or local repair shop to replace the vehicle's photoresistor sensor. Usage methods and functions of automatic headlights: When using automatic headlights, keep them clean. Avoid placing too many objects on the dashboard that might block the light sensor and prevent normal operation. Regularly inspect the headlight covers to ensure there are no water droplets and protect them from impact by foreign objects. The system automatically turns the headlights on or off based on changes in light intensity. When ambient light becomes dim, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they'll turn off when light levels recover, thereby improving driving safety and preventing potential hazards.

Does the generator belt need to be replaced if it has slight cracks?

Generator belt with slight cracks needs replacement. The function of the car generator belt is power transmission. If the belt breaks, it can cause the engine to lose power and stop, and in severe cases, it may even damage the engine. Maintenance precautions for car generator belts: 1. Tightness: After driving a certain mileage, adjust the tightness of the generator belt appropriately, then fix the calibration screws as needed. The bracket screws of the generator should maintain a certain tightness. 2. Bearing wear: Pay attention to the wear level of the bearings. If insufficient lubrication is found, a few drops of oil can be added from the oil cup opening, but be careful not to let it seep into the rectifier, as this could affect power transmission efficiency. 3. Brushes: If the contact surface of the brush is uneven, it can be smoothed with fine sandpaper. If the spring lacks elasticity or the brush is excessively worn, new parts must be replaced. If the brush is too short but not damaged, a gasket can be inserted into the bracket to ensure it fits tightly with the rectifier.

How to Deal with Heavy Engine Exhaust?

Heavy engine exhaust is mostly caused by a damaged three-way catalytic converter. This situation requires repairing or replacing the new three-way catalytic converter. When using the car normally, it is also necessary to add high-quality fuel as much as possible. The related introduction is as follows: 1. Heavy engine exhaust is basically caused by incomplete fuel combustion. There are many reasons for incomplete fuel combustion, including the addition of low-quality fuel, engine misfire, severe engine carbon deposits, clogged fuel lines, spark plug failure, etc. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately go to a repair shop or 4S store to ask professionals for testing and repair to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by exhaust issues during the vehicle's annual inspection. 2. The three-way catalytic converter in the vehicle is an exhaust purification device and also the most critical exhaust treatment device in the vehicle. Its key function is to convert three harmful gases (CO, HC, and NOx) in the vehicle exhaust into non-toxic and non-polluting gases (CO2, H20, and N2).

What to Do If the Remote Control of the Remote-Controlled Car Is Lost?

If the car remote key is lost, the following steps can be taken: After losing the original car remote, go to the 4S store where the car was purchased. The 4S store will deactivate the original remote based on the purchase records and provide a new remote. The lost remote will no longer be able to start the vehicle, but it may still unlock the doors. For enhanced security, it is advisable to replace the entire car lock. Additional Information: Every car comes with a pre-configured anti-theft code. The owner only needs to provide the vehicle registration and identification information to the 4S store. The 4S store can then retrieve the car's anti-theft code based on the provided information and configure a new key. Additionally, the data of the lost key can be erased, rendering it invalid for starting the vehicle. However, the lost key may still unlock the doors, so the 4S store may recommend replacing the entire car lock to ensure security.
