A punctured tire cannot be claimed under insurance. Below is expanded information on considerations for filing auto insurance claims: 1. Pay attention to exclusion clauses: When purchasing auto insurance, it is essential to carefully review the exclusion clauses in the insurance contract. Under normal circumstances, if some unreasonable situations occur, the insurance company has the right to refuse responsibility. For example, intentional crimes by the insured, drunk driving, driving without a license, or driving with an expired license are all covered under exclusion clauses, and the insurance company will not be responsible. 2. Vehicle damage insurance: If the insured or an authorized driver causes an insurance accident while driving the insured vehicle, resulting in damage to the insured vehicle, the insurance company will be responsible within reasonable limits. Vehicle damage insurance is specifically for covering losses to the vehicle itself.

What are the symptoms of a bad rear wheel bearing?

As the core component that bears the vehicle's weight and provides rotational capability for the tires, wheel bearings operate in extremely harsh conditions. They must withstand pressure and vibrations during driving while also enduring attacks from rainwater and sand/gravel. Even the best wheel bearings can't guarantee permanent durability in such demanding environments. There are three main symptoms when a rear wheel bearing fails: 1. Abnormal noises: The most prominent sign of bearing failure is a "humming" or buzzing noise during vehicle operation. 2. Vehicle vibration: If the bearing damage becomes severe enough to increase its clearance, noticeable vibration will occur during high-speed driving. 3. Unstable driving: When front wheel bearings are excessively damaged, it may cause unstable driving performance at high speeds, including erratic power delivery and handling issues.

How Many Liters of Oil Should Be Changed in a Transmission at One Time?

Most car transmissions require 6-10 liters of oil for a single change. The exact amount of transmission fluid needed depends on the vehicle model and the replacement method. Typically, when changing transmission oil, the screw at the bottom of the transmission oil pan is removed to drain the old oil before adding new oil. This method only replaces about 70% of the old oil. For a more thorough replacement, a circulating machine can be used to replace over 90% of the oil. Additional Information: 1. Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be changed every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. If shifting becomes noticeably stiff, less smooth than before, or if transmission noise significantly increases after driving more than 100 kilometers, the transmission fluid should be replaced immediately, regardless of whether the mileage is 20,000 or 40,000 kilometers. Failure to do so may intensify friction between transmission gears, leading to premature major repairs. 2. When changing transmission oil, it's important to select the appropriate viscosity. If the viscosity is too high, it can cause overheating of friction surfaces and unnecessary power loss. Conversely, if the viscosity is too low, centrifugal force may cause the oil to be thrown off the gear surfaces, leading to oil seal leaks. This can result in insufficient lubrication on the gear surfaces, increasing wear and potentially causing sintering.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking a New Car?

Abnormal noise from new brake pads may be caused by the initial break-in effect after installation. New brake pads and rotors require a break-in period, during which such noises may occur when braking. This is a normal phenomenon, and the sound will disappear after a period of break-in. Additional information: 1. Both brake rotors and pads are high-wear components. Each time the brakes are applied, these two parts experience friction, leading to natural wear over time. When the wear becomes excessive, abnormal noises will naturally occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake rotors should be replaced every 100,000-120,000 kilometers. 2. If the brake shield is loose, improperly installed after disassembly, damaged due to impact, or if the brake pads are completely worn out, the limit shim rubbing against the brake rotor can also produce noise. Generally, squeaking noises when the car is cold or after driving through water are normal. However, if the squeaking noise persists at any speed after the car has warmed up, it is recommended that the owner promptly visit a 4S shop or repair facility to diagnose and address the issue.

Which Gear Should Be Engaged for Reversing?

When reversing, engage the reverse gear. The reverse gear is a standard driving gear found in all vehicles, typically marked with the uppercase letter 'R'. Engaging the reverse gear allows the car to move backward. Below is some relevant information about the reverse gear: Precautions for Engaging the Reverse Gear: The reverse gear is the 'R' position. It should only be engaged after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; otherwise, it may easily damage the transmission. For models equipped with a lock button, the button must be pressed to switch gears. Pressing the Lock Button: The lock button must be pressed when entering the 'P' (Park) or 'R' (Reverse) gears, as well as when shifting out of 'P'. Specifically, gears that could potentially cause reverse impact to the transmission are locked, and the lock button must be pressed to unlock when shifting.

What is the tutorial for using the foot brake in an automatic transmission?

The tutorial for using the foot brake in an automatic transmission is as follows: 1. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift the transmission to the neutral (N) position. 2. Press the parking foot brake (this will engage the parking brake) and turn off the engine. 3. After pressing the foot brake, shift the transmission from the N position to the parking (P) position. The method to activate the foot brake in an automatic transmission is as follows: 1. When starting, first press the brake with your right foot, shift the transmission to the N position, and start the engine. 2. After the engine starts, press the parking foot brake again with your left foot to release the parking brake, which will then return to its original position due to spring force. 3. Shift the transmission from the N position to the drive (D) position and slowly release the brake, allowing the vehicle to move forward.
