Hail can damage a car. If the hailstones are very large, they may dent the car significantly. Smaller hailstones may not cause damage or only result in minor dents. If a car is damaged by hail, you can file a claim with your insurance company. Damage to car glass caused by hail is typically covered under auto insurance policies, and compensation varies depending on the vehicle type and circumstances. After hail damage occurs, report it to your insurance company as soon as possible. Wait for an insurance adjuster to inspect the damage, then take the car to a repair center for assessment.

Which Generation of Aisin Transmission is Used in the Changan CS75 PLUS?

"The transmission brand used in the Changan CS75 PLUS is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Changan CS75 PLUS is equipped with an Aisin 6AT automatic manual transmission. The automatic manual transmission is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. The purpose of the automatic manual transmission is to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic transmission vehicles. When using the transmission of the Changan CS75 PLUS in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for an extended period. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate smooth operation, shift into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or may shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, using manual mode to limit lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in N gear, rather than being towed directly with a tow rope or similar method."

Are the reference points the same for left and right reverse parking?

The principles of left and right reverse parking are the same, but the distance and angle of the left and right rearview mirrors from the driver make the reference points different. The key point for reverse parking is when the distance between the car body and the corner of the parking space is 30cm. For right reverse parking, this distance is approximately two finger widths in the mirror, while for left reverse parking, it is slightly more than two finger widths. Below is additional information: 1. Left reverse parking should start earlier than right reverse parking: Generally, you can turn the steering wheel fully 10cm earlier than for right reverse parking, but for beginners, this 10cm can be hard to judge. Alternatively, you can turn the steering wheel when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the stop line, then observe the distance between the rear wheel and the corner of the parking space in the mirror. When the distance narrows to 30cm, turn the steering wheel back one full rotation. If the distance is too narrow, you can turn the steering wheel back earlier to widen the distance, then fully turn the steering wheel again once the required width is achieved. 2. Observing when the car body is parallel to the parking space lines and the timing to stop are the same: The only slight difference between left and right reverse parking is when you initially turn the steering wheel fully. However, even if you don’t turn the steering wheel earlier for left reverse parking, you can still adjust the distance by fine-tuning the steering wheel. As long as the car body doesn’t cross the lines, even if the car is parked slightly crooked, you won’t lose points.
