Car interior ceiling turning yellow may be due to the oxidation of white paint surfaces when exposed to air. Specific details about the yellowing of car interior ceilings are as follows: 1. Negative Consequences: The car interior ceiling is relatively easy for car owners to overlook, as they rarely notice when it gets dirty. With prolonged use of the car, the ceiling accumulates more and more dust, which over time can have adverse effects on the health of passengers. Therefore, regular cleaning of the car interior ceiling is necessary. 2. Cleaning Tips: The cleaning of the car ceiling should be based on the material and color of the inner roof, with different levels of treatment required. Typically, light-colored fabric can be cleaned using seat cleaners.

It's quite common for the interior ceiling of a car to turn yellow after prolonged use, and I've experienced it several times myself. The main reasons include prolonged exposure to sunlight, as UV rays oxidize and yellow the materials; smoking is another factor, with smoke and particles depositing and causing yellow stains; additionally, moisture and poor ventilation inside the car can lead to mold growth, making the ceiling yellow and smelly; material aging is also a factor, as the ceiling naturally fades and discolors after a few years. From my practical experience, I recommend regular cleaning with a mild car interior cleaner, gently wiping the surface; when parking, try to find a shady spot or use a sunshade to reduce sun damage; for severe stains, seek professional cleaning services instead of risking damage by scrubbing yourself. Regular ventilation can also help prevent this, keeping the interior dry and fresh.

How to Adjust the Jetta Seat?

Pull up the lever to move the seat forward or backward; pull back the adjustment handle while adjusting the backrest to a suitable angle to adjust the seat backrest; repeatedly lift or press down the handle to adjust the seat to the desired height. After adjusting the seat, ensure the seat is securely fixed by pulling on it to check for looseness. Unexpected folding forward or backward of the seat backrest may cause serious injury to occupants, especially if the seat is not securely fixed during emergency braking or collision, leading to forward movement and injury. Below are precautions for seat adjustment: 1. Do not fold the seat backrest forward or backward while the vehicle is in motion. 2. When adjusting the seat backrest, keep hands, fingers, and other body parts away from the backrest pivot and adjustment mechanism to prevent pinching. 3. Avoid trapping floor mats or other objects in the seat backrest pivot, as this may prevent proper locking when the backrest returns to the upright position. 4. No passenger (whether adult or child) should sit on a seat with an improperly locked backrest or one that is excessively tilted forward.
