2. Hold the canister in your main hand.
3. Approach the rear of the car (the fuel point).
4. Press Shift + Right-Click on the car.
5. Hold Shift to continue refueling automatically.

3. Repairing Damage

If you crash or have a rough landing, the car may take damage.

How to Repair:

2. Hold the repair kit in your main hand.
3. Approach the damaged zone (front, rear, or wheels).
4. Press Shift + Right-Click on that zone.
5. Hold Shift until the repair is complete.

To see exactly where to click for repairs, use the /car repairhitbox on command. It will highlight damage zones with particles.

3. Edit localization.yml to change the display name.
4. Run the /car reload command.
5. Your new car is ready to spawn: /car spawn MyCar.
