Flood-damaged cars cannot be sold because even after repairs, they can malfunction at any time like a 'ticking time bomb.' The issues with flood-damaged cars are as follows: 1. Frequent electrical failures: The entire vehicle's wiring has been submerged, leading to frequent electrical malfunctions later on. 2. Decreased engine performance: After repairs, the engine's performance declines, and the assembly quality cannot meet original standards. 3. Metal rust: Metal parts are prone to rust, and once rust spots form, they significantly accelerate further corrosion. 4. Unpleasant odors: The car will have a musty smell that is nearly impossible to eliminate.

How to Set One-Touch Up/Down for Car Windows?

To set the one-touch up/down function for car windows, simply press and hold the window button until the window reaches the top or bottom, then wait for 3-5 seconds. Below is some knowledge about car window operation: 1. Introduction: Whether controlled by smart key or mechanical buttons, one-touch window operation usually comes with an "anti-pinch" feature. During automatic closing, if an object is detected between the glass and window frame, the closing operation will automatically stop and reverse to prevent pinching hazards. 2. Working Principle: Each power window has an Electronic Control Module (ECM). When you press the window control switch, the ECM receives signals from the switch. If the switch is pressed for less than 0.5 seconds, the ECM controls the window to fully open or close. If pressed for more than 0.5 seconds, the ECM continuously powers the window motor, stopping only when the switch is released.

What are the new regulations for small cars exempt from inspection for ten years?

There is no policy for cars to be exempt from inspection for ten years. However, new cars within the first six years can be exempt from inspection twice. Below are the relevant details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first five years; after five years, they must be inspected every six months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first ten years; after ten years, they must be inspected every six months. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within the first six years. Vehicles undergoing normal annual inspection require an on-site inspection and must obtain the annual inspection sticker. For new cars in their second year, since they are not covered by the exemption policy, the owner must drive the vehicle to the local inspection station on the specified date for inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the annual inspection sticker be obtained. 2. Regulations related to the six-year exemption: For new cars under the six-year exemption policy, according to regulations, they must undergo annual inspection in the second year. However, due to the benefits of the exemption policy, no vehicle inspection is required, and the annual inspection sticker can be applied for directly. However, the six-year exemption does not mean exemption from review. Every two years, the owner must bring documents such as the vehicle registration certificate to the local inspection station to complete the procedures and obtain the compliance sticker.
