The drain holes of a new car are already in an open state, so there is no need for the 4S store to open them. Concept: Vehicle drain holes are outlets designed to drain accumulated water from the vehicle during rainy weather. Generally, the drain holes are located in the following areas: the front windshield of the engine compartment, the four corners inside the sunroof, the lower part of the front and rear doors, inside the fuel tank cap, at the bottom of the spare tire in the trunk, and the gaps between the front and rear headlights and the body fenders. Precautions: There is usually a drain hole below the fuel tank cap. If it becomes blocked, water may accumulate in the fuel tank during car washes or rainy weather, potentially causing damage to the fuel tank. The spare tire in the trunk is generally located in a lower part of the body. When driving through water, if the water level rises above the headlights, water may seep into the interior of the vehicle. The drain holes in this area are used less frequently.

Is there any impact when using 92 gasoline in a car designed for 95?

95 and 92 gasoline cannot be mixed. Gasoline is a mixture, and while the chemical compositions of the two types are similar, their additives differ. Effects of mixing 92 and 95 gasoline: Shortens the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs. Advances the timing of major vehicle overhauls. Causes unstable vehicle power output. Increases exhaust pollution and harms the environment. 95 gasoline is suitable for engines with high compression ratios. If a high-compression engine uses 92 gasoline, abnormal combustion may occur, leading to knocking and even engine seizure. If the engine is consistently fueled with a mix of 92 and 95 gasoline, it may accumulate significant carbon deposits, affecting power, increasing fuel consumption, and even impairing normal engine operation. Occasional mixing may not cause significant harm. However, during the next refueling, the tank should be emptied and refilled with the correct gasoline grade. Frequent mixing can lead to severe consequences, such as clogged fuel injectors, worsening carbon deposits, and abnormal fuel consumption. The difference between 92 and 95 gasoline lies in their octane ratings and quality levels, as detailed below: Octane rating difference: 92 gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Quality difference: The gasoline grade indicates the octane rating. Higher grades mean higher octane ratings, which provide better anti-knock performance. This ensures smoother engine operation, reduces wear, and offers better engine protection. Important notes: Choosing the correct gasoline grade is crucial. Vehicle manufacturers usually recommend a specific grade, which is often indicated inside the fuel filler cap. Follow this recommendation. If the label states: "Use 92 or higher," then either 92 or 95 gasoline can be used, but they should not be mixed. If the label states: "Use no less than 95," then only 95 or 98 gasoline should be used, and 92 gasoline must be avoided. Higher gasoline grades are not always better. The engine's compression ratio must match the gasoline grade. Using a higher-grade gasoline in a low-compression engine may reduce knocking but can alter ignition timing, leading to increased carbon deposits in the cylinders and potentially shortening engine lifespan over time. Using a lower-grade gasoline in a high-compression engine can cause knocking, accelerating damage to engine components.

Why Do Experienced Drivers Prefer Coasting in Neutral?

Coasting in neutral can simplify complex operations. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Simplifies complex operations: When encountering a traffic light that turns yellow while driving, and it's impossible to pass, shifting from fifth gear to first gear and then to neutral after the car stops, or holding the clutch and shifting to neutral after the car comes to a complete stop, both are cumbersome. 2. Saves fuel: When going uphill, the speed generated in the direction of travel may exceed the deceleration produced by the engine, causing the car to slow down. In such cases, pressing the accelerator to speed up is necessary. If in neutral, the car can coast faster even on slight slopes, saving gasoline. 3. Faster braking response: In situations where there is a conflict with other vehicles on the road and speed control is needed to stop, shifting to neutral allows for immediate turning without worrying about causing an accident.

What is the difference between a subcompact SUV and a compact SUV?

The differences between a subcompact SUV and a compact SUV are as follows: 1. Different body lengths: The body length of a subcompact SUV is generally between 3850-4350mm. The subcompact SUV has always been praised for its small body with large space, which is significantly different from a compact SUV. The body length of a compact SUV is generally between 4200-4750mm, not only is the body size larger, but the passenger space is also more spacious, and the luggage compartment volume is incomparable to that of a subcompact SUV. 2. Different performance: The off-road capability of a subcompact SUV is basically not on the same level as that of a compact SUV. Even if a subcompact SUV is equipped with a four-wheel drive system, its actual off-road performance is still very different from that of a compact SUV. The four-wheel drive system in a subcompact SUV mainly enhances driving performance under special weather and road conditions, lacking the powerful power and driving feel of a compact SUV. 3. Different prices: Most subcompact SUVs are small-displacement models with relatively economical pricing, which are the main reasons that attract consumers to buy subcompact SUVs. Compact SUVs have larger displacements, and the prices, usage costs, and maintenance expenses are relatively higher.

What to Do If an Accident Occurs After Selling a Used Car Without Transferring Ownership?

If an accident occurs during the period when the buyer is managing and using the car, and the original owner is not at fault, the buyer should bear the liability for compensation. Since vehicles fall under the category of movable property, the transfer of ownership registration for vehicle sales is not a public method of ownership change but rather an administrative measure. Therefore, in the sale of motor vehicles, as long as the vehicle has been delivered to the buyer, the ownership of the vehicle is immediately transferred, and the lack of transfer registration does not affect the transfer of ownership and risk assumption. Below is more information about used car ownership transfer: 1. What to do if major quality issues are discovered after the transaction is completed: Whether buying from an individual or a brokerage company, if quality issues are found after the transaction is completed, there will be no compensation, and repairs must be done at one's own expense. However, some certified used cars purchased from 4S stores that offer warranties may be eligible for claims. 2. What to do if the vehicle cannot be transferred after payment: If the ownership transfer cannot be processed after payment, unless the original owner agrees to a refund, there is no remedy. It is recommended to conduct thorough investigations into the vehicle and the owner's situation before payment to ensure the vehicle's source and the owner's identity are legal, and the vehicle's documents are complete and valid. Then, before payment, purchase a used car sales contract from the local market, read and fill it out carefully by both parties to avoid such situations. 3. How to assume responsibility for traffic accidents involving privately transferred assembled or scrapped vehicles: According to Article 1214 of the Civil Code, if a traffic accident causing damage occurs after the transfer of an assembled or scrapped motor vehicle through sale or other means, both the transferor and the transferee shall bear joint liability.

Where to Go for Windshield Repair?

It is recommended to have your windshield repaired at a professional auto glass repair shop. Here are the advantages of windshields: 1. Aesthetics and Transparency: As vehicle speeds increase, the wind coming towards the car carries sand, dust, and other debris, which can sometimes get into the driver's eyes and significantly reduce driving comfort. After the invention of glass, it was quickly adopted for vehicles due to its beauty and excellent transparency. 2. Improved Safety: Tempered glass and other composite glasses have replaced ordinary glass. These improved glasses are much stronger and, even when broken, do not shatter into small pieces but remain largely intact, greatly reducing potential harm. Nowadays, better windshields also include UV-resistant coatings to protect people's eyes.
