New car abnormal noises can be claimed for compensation. Below are the specific details about automotive claims: 1. Claim Conditions: When major components such as the transmission or engine exhibit inherent defects, and after diagnosis by the dealership and manufacturer, the vehicle fails to meet functional and usage requirements, you may request repair, return, or compensation. 2. Inspection and Evaluation: An inspection and evaluation must be conducted to determine whether the defect is due to inherent issues in major components like the transmission. If the conditions are not met, the right to claim cannot be asserted. The inspection should also check for human factors, such as operational errors, that may have caused damage, as well as determine the severity of the fault.

Is parking over the line within a parking space considered a violation?

Parking over the line within a parking space is considered illegal parking. Parking instructions: When parking, vehicles should align with the parking space markings and park in the same direction as the flow of traffic on the road. Vehicles must not park over the lines or occupy multiple spaces, otherwise it will be treated as illegal parking. If such parking obstructs the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, the vehicle may be towed in accordance with the law. Additionally, vehicles without residential certification parked in white dashed-line parking spaces will also be penalized as illegal parking. High-altitude video surveillance: High-altitude video surveillance can not only accurately capture the license plate information of parked vehicles but also record violations such as parking over the lines or occupying multiple spaces. Apart from on-site penalties by law enforcement officers and existing electronic surveillance, high-altitude video and other electronic toll collection devices will soon be integrated with the traffic police's electronic monitoring system to impose non-contact penalties on illegally parked vehicles.

How Many Days in Advance Is Appropriate to Purchase Car Insurance?

It is generally appropriate to purchase car insurance up to 3 months in advance. The following introduces the impacts of vehicle insurance lapse on car owners: Increased Premiums: If a car owner's vehicle has lapsed insurance but is not renewed, the cost will increase upon subsequent renewal. No Claim Payout: No claim payout is possible. If an accident occurs during the insurance lapse period, all losses will be borne by the car owner. Illegal to Drive: Vehicles with lapsed insurance cannot legally be driven on the road; otherwise, they will be seized and penalized by traffic police. According to China's traffic laws, if a driver is found without compulsory traffic insurance, they will be fined twice the premium amount, required to purchase the compulsory insurance, and have their vehicle impounded.

What is the purpose of the Leiling eco mode?

The function of eco mode is to reduce the response rate of power output, minimize unnecessary fuel injection, and maintain more stable engine RPM. In eco mode, the throttle response is less sensitive, and the power delivery is gentler. Eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and passive eco driving mode. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. Eco mode can be categorized into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard eco indicator light turns on, it merely serves as a reminder function. The eco system automatically evaluates driving behavior. If the current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active eco driving mode, which means they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, eco mode can be activated during daily driving. However, it is unnecessary to enable eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idling, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of eco mode and could instead impair performance. Additionally, eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, causing eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idling or when in N/P gear or manual mode, eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and eco mode will not operate.

What are the most effective methods to combat drowsiness while driving?

The most effective methods to combat drowsiness while driving include pulling over to rest, opening windows for ventilation, listening to energetic music, and chewing gum. Detailed introductions are as follows: Pulling over to rest: If you feel extremely drowsy while driving, find a safe and legal place to park and take a short nap. On highways, service areas are ideal for resting. A nap of about 15-20 minutes is optimal. This is the most effective and reliable way to avoid fatigued driving. Opening windows for ventilation: Often, drowsiness while driving is caused by poor air circulation and lack of oxygen in the car. Opening windows to let in fresh air can help refresh your mind. Energetic music: Listening to energetic music, such as rock, electronic, DJ, or rap, can help keep you awake. The rhythm of such music can excite you and keep you alert, thereby alleviating fatigue. Chewing gum: Chewing gum keeps your mouth active. It's best to choose sugar-free gum with a cooling flavor, as sugar can raise blood sugar levels and induce drowsiness. The cooling taste has a stimulating effect, helping to prevent drowsiness.

What is the correct procedure for Quick Settlement and Easy Compensation?

The parties involved should independently upload and confirm vehicle and driver's license information, and take photos to upload on-site information. The parties involved should negotiate and determine liability on their own. In case of disputes over accident liability, they can apply for remote guidance from traffic police. If the guidance is not accepted, they can call the police and wait for a traffic police officer to handle the matter over the phone or on-site. For cases where the parties involved negotiate and agree on the liability determination results, an electronic version of the agreement will be generated immediately. The insurance company will proactively call the parties involved within 5 to 10 minutes to guide them through the insurance claim reporting, damage assessment, and other related matters. If a traffic accident occurs and meets the criteria for Quick Settlement and Easy Compensation, the parties involved should immediately report the incident to their respective insurance companies, take photos to preserve relevant evidence (the photos should show the accident location and license plate numbers), and leave the scene within 5 minutes. Then, both parties should go together to the Quick Settlement and Easy Compensation Center for liability determination, damage assessment, and claims processing.
