Car lights remaining on after removing the key is due to the delayed shutdown function of the headlights after the vehicle is turned off. Below are the specific details about automatic headlights: 1. Working principle: The sensor consists of electronic components such as photoresistors, which send electronic signals to the ECU to control the turning on or off of the headlights and the switching between high and low beams. When driving into a suddenly dark environment, the headlights will automatically turn on. They will automatically turn off when the light is sufficient. They will also automatically switch between high and low beams during nighttime encounters with other vehicles. 2. Function: Automatic headlights can turn on automatically when the owner forgets to turn them on, eliminating the need to manually switch them on when needed. They can also automatically turn off based on the intensity of light.

How to Clean Car Mats?

During the cleaning process, you can appropriately add detergent, but be careful not to use overly corrosive ones. After washing, you can vigorously shake off the excess water and then let it dry completely. For fabric materials, avoid direct water rinsing as water seeping into the sponge layer can cause mold. For leather materials, simply wipe with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Generally, it's not recommended to wash furry mats with water because they take a long time to dry. In such cases, using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust is sufficient.

How to Renew an Expired Vehicle License?

If your vehicle license has expired, you should promptly bring the required documents to the local vehicle management office for renewal. If the license has already expired, meaning the annual inspection is overdue (the expiration date is usually indicated on the supplementary page of the license), you must complete the inspection within the validity period. After passing the inspection, a new validity period will be stamped on the supplementary page. For vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption from on-site inspection, you only need to apply for the annual inspection exemption sticker every 2 years at the vehicle management office, and no endorsement is required on the supplementary page. For non-exempt vehicles, the owner must bring their ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory insurance policy to the local motor vehicle inspection station. After passing the inspection, they will receive an inspection sticker, and the supplementary page of the license will be endorsed. Consequences of driving with an expired license: If the vehicle license is not inspected on time, the vehicle cannot be driven legally. Driving without a valid inspection is considered illegal and may result in a 3-point penalty, a fine, and possible vehicle impoundment. If an accident occurs while driving with an expired license, the driver may bear full or primary liability, and the insurance company will not cover the damages. If the vehicle license is not inspected on time, it means the vehicle itself has not been inspected. If the vehicle fails to obtain an inspection sticker for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped.

How to Deal with Musty Smell After Water Leaks into the Car?

Use a high-power waterproof vacuum cleaner to suck up as much water as possible, then open all car doors and expose the vehicle to direct sunlight until the carpets are completely dry. You can also remove all the seats, wash them thoroughly in a bathroom, and then dry them in the sun. This helps prevent odors that might develop from sun exposure inside the car. During these steps, using a hairdryer to blow air can accelerate air circulation, promoting faster evaporation of moisture and drying out the interior.
