It indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft mode, and the anti-theft system is functioning normally. Here is more information about the car's anti-theft system: 1. Brief Introduction: The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent the theft of the vehicle itself or items inside the car. 2. Function: The anti-theft system includes alarm and immobilization features. In case of theft attempts, in addition to sounding an alarm, it can also cut off the car's starting circuit, ignition circuit, or fuel supply, thereby preventing the vehicle from being moved. This enhances the car's security, allowing you to park without worry.

How to Remove Fog from Glass?

There are several methods to remove fog from glass: 1. Detergent-based anti-fogging: Detergents can disrupt the attraction between water molecules, reducing their surface tension and allowing water molecules to evenly distribute on the treated glass surface, forming a water film. You can use soap or dishwashing liquid for this purpose and wipe it off with a paper towel. 2. Air conditioning cooling defogging: In summer, fogging on car windows can be caused by low temperature or high air humidity. You can turn on the air conditioning and direct cold air towards the windshield, utilizing the dehumidification function of the air conditioning to remove fog from the windshield. 3. Using external circulation when windows cannot be opened: Turn on external circulation for defogging. The correct vent position should be able to blow air towards both the windshield and the footwell, or just towards the windshield.

Do You Need to Press the Brake to Start an Automatic Car?

Cars with push-button start require pressing the brake when starting, and you should also press the brake when inserting the key. Here are some tips for using an automatic car: 1. The vehicle power-on position is mainly for detection purposes. As a user, you don't need to switch to this position every time; simply press the brake and push the start button. 2. Both N and P are neutral gears. Briefly passing through the R gear won't immediately engage reverse, so there's no risk of so-called gear-shift shock. After entering the car, press the brake and push the start button simultaneously, fasten your seatbelt, adjust your seating position, wait for 30 seconds, then shift to D gear to start the vehicle.

What to Do If Gasoline Leaks Out?

Immediately shut off the fuel nozzle and the fuel dispenser. Use anti-static cotton yarn, towels, or mops to recover the spilled fuel on-site. The recovered fuel should be disposed of according to the company's relevant regulations. Precautions for refueling a car: 1. Users need to know the gasoline grade and the location of the fuel tank to avoid filling with the wrong grade of gasoline. At the gas station, clearly check whether the label indicates gasoline or diesel, find a suitable position to park, and prepare to start refueling. 2. Before driving, the owner should check the fuel gauge and calculate whether refueling is needed during the trip based on the distance of the journey and the fuel gauge reading. Owners can refuel in advance and should not wait until the fuel warning light comes on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, and it generates high temperatures during continuous operation. Being immersed in fuel can effectively cool it down. 3. When the fuel warning light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the fuel pump. Refueling only when the light comes on each time will shorten the service life of the fuel pump. Having too little fuel in the tank may also burn out the fuel pump.

Is Windshield Repair Effective?

Modern car windshields are generally made of laminated glass rather than tempered glass. Most damages occur on the outer layer of glass, and repairs can be effective if the damage meets the repair conditions. Here are six benefits of windshield repair: 1. Prevents cracks or holes from expanding, ensuring driving safety. 2. No need for removal, avoiding potential sealing issues and vehicle damage caused by replacement. 3. Reduces glass waste, aligning with environmental trends. 4. The repaired area becomes sturdy and durable, restoring the glass's original strength with clarity exceeding 95%. 5. On-site service, quick repair, saving time and effort. 6. Cost savings (compared to full windshield replacement).

Does driving a new car on the highway have any impact?

Driving a new car on the highway has some impact, but the effect is minimal and will not affect the normal use of the car. Here are the reasons why new cars should avoid highway driving: 1. New cars are in the break-in period and should not be driven on the highway, as high-speed operation can cause significant mechanical wear inside the engine. 2. The engine oil in a new car contains more metal debris. Using oil with a large amount of debris for highway driving will increase engine wear and, in severe cases, may cause irreversible damage, potentially preventing the vehicle from reaching its optimal state after the break-in period. 3. It is recommended that owners allow a period of break-in after purchasing a new car. If highway driving is necessary, the car's speed should be kept within a reasonable range, avoiding excessively high RPMs or speeds to prevent engine damage.

Is it good to cover a car with a car cover?

Covering a car with a car cover is not good for the car, and here are the reasons: 1. The car cover can wear down the paint. Some car covers have a flocked inner material. When there is fine dust on the car's surface, putting the cover on turns it into a sandpaper-like sheet that matches the car's shape under the wind's effect, gently and slowly grinding the paint surface from all angles. Under strong light, the paint damage becomes very obvious. 2. It can easily corrode car parts. If the car is covered with a car cover in a high-temperature state, it's like covering a steaming pot with a plastic sheet. When the car is parked and the cover is on, the local temperature rises sharply, increasing humidity. Excessive humidity can rust the parts since 80% of a car's components are made of steel, which is prone to corrosion when exposed to water.
