Minor cracks on tires due to normal wear are generally not a concern as long as the sidewalls are intact without exposed steel belts, and the vehicle can continue to be driven safely. However, it is recommended to perform tire rotation, dynamic balancing, and four-wheel alignment every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers to ensure driving safety. Daily tire maintenance tips: 1. Check the tire pressure of all tires at least once a month when they are cold; 2. Do not exceed the speed limits required by driving conditions and legal regulations, such as driving slowly or avoiding obstacles like road stones or potholes; 3. Regularly perform wheel alignment and dynamic balancing to ensure safe driving and extend tire lifespan; 4. Rotate tires periodically to achieve even wear and prolong tire service life; 5. Protect tires from exposure to sunlight, oil, acid, and hydrocarbons to prevent damage.

How to Contact the Insurance Company After an Accident?

Check the insurance policy or insurance card, and call the customer service number of the insurance company as indicated. Briefly explain the time, location, and circumstances of the accident. The insurance company will dispatch the nearest loss assessor or inspection vehicle to assist in handling the situation. The specific claims process, compensation amount, and reimbursement ratio will be subject to the insurance company's regulations. For details, please contact the corresponding insurance company for consultation. Below is relevant information about the insurance company's handling process: 1. On-site inspection and loss assessment: The insurance company will conduct an on-site inspection to assess the loss. If it meets the terms of the insurance contract, the insurance company will compensate as agreed. 2. Compulsory traffic insurance takes priority: Compulsory traffic insurance is prioritized for compensation. If the compensation is insufficient, commercial insurance (if purchased) will cover the remaining amount. Apply for commercial insurance compensation, and if the compensation is still insufficient, the at-fault party will make up the difference. Additionally, if insurance other than compulsory and commercial insurance is purchased, compensation will be made according to the relevant regulations of the purchased insurance type.

Do You Need to Buy a Car at a 4S Store?

Buying a car doesn't necessarily require purchasing it at a 4S store. Here is more relevant information: 1. Other car-buying locations: Direct sales stores in auto trade cities can also sell cars. For car manufacturers, 4S stores are primary dealers, while direct sales stores are secondary dealers. The biggest advantage of buying a car at a direct sales store is the lower price. These stores have smaller premises and fewer staff, resulting in lower maintenance costs compared to 4S stores, which need to support hundreds of employees. This allows direct sales stores to sell cars at lower prices. 2. Disadvantages of direct sales stores: When purchasing a car at a direct sales store, the owner needs to handle all vehicle-related procedures themselves, and there are no complimentary gifts. Additionally, not all vehicles at direct sales stores come from 4S stores; a small portion may be refurbished cars, so the vehicle sources are not as reliable. Furthermore, direct sales stores update their vehicle models much slower than 4S stores. Even if a brand updates its models, initially only 4S stores will have the new models available, while direct sales stores may only carry older models.

Should You Press the Brake When Starting in Subject 2?

You must press the brake before starting. Below are the specific details: Starting Procedure: Press the brake, lift the clutch with your left foot—you can lift it quickly at first, but be careful not to overdo it. As you approach the critical point, lift the clutch slowly until you feel the car body shaking noticeably. At this point, you can gradually release the brake. There are two scenarios: First, as soon as you release the brake, the car will start moving. Be sure to keep the clutch steady—do not move your left foot from the clutch position. Only after the car has fully started should you slowly lift the clutch completely. Second, after releasing the brake, the car may not move. This happens when the clutch is lifted exactly to the critical point, balancing between moving and not moving. In this case, the car won’t roll back, though this situation is rare. Still, remain calm and lift the clutch very slowly—just a slight lift will get the car moving.

How long does it take to transfer ownership of a new energy vehicle?

In most regions, the time and procedures for transferring ownership of a new energy vehicle are the same as those for blue-plate fuel vehicles, requiring only vehicle ownership to complete the transfer. Below is more relevant information: 1. Notes to consider: It's important to note that blue-plate fuel vehicles have license plates that follow the person, not the vehicle, whereas new energy license plates follow the vehicle, not the person. This means that when transferring ownership of a new energy vehicle, the license plate must be transferred along with the vehicle. The vehicle and license plate can only be separated six months after the transfer date. 2. Regional government policies: In Shanghai, new energy vehicle license plates must be used for at least 3 years from the date of issuance before they can be transferred or reassigned. If a car owner has a new energy vehicle license plate, they cannot purchase another new energy vehicle even if the current vehicle is transferred. In Shenzhen, new energy vehicles can be transferred within the city one month after obtaining a Shenzhen license plate, but they must meet Shenzhen's new energy vehicle quota requirements. If the vehicle is to be transferred out of the city, it must have been used for at least 2 years from the date of license plate issuance.
