Yes, you can drive it, but you should go to an auto repair shop to replace it. The mudguard can effectively protect the car body and prevent scratches. As the name suggests, the car mudguard is used to block mud. It is installed behind the four tires of the car. The front two are fixed on the left and right lower sills, and the rear two are fixed on the rear bumper (this is the case for most models). Below are the specific details about car mudguards: 1. Function: The main purpose of a car mudguard is to block mud. Generally, in rainy weather, especially on muddy roads, the car tires will accumulate a lot of mud, which can sometimes get onto the car body. When mudguards are installed, they help the car resist mud and sand. 2. Material: The mudguard is a plate-like structure installed behind the wheel frame, usually made of high-quality rubber, but some are made of engineering plastic. 3. Installation effect: The mudguard is usually a metal, leather, plastic, or rubber panel installed behind the car wheels. After installation, the mudguard protrudes about 5cm from the car body, effectively preventing flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint.

Does the foreign Z4 come with a display key?

No, but it can be optionally installed as an add-on. Functions of the display key: The mobile app and the key can remotely control and unlock the vehicle. Before going out in winter, you can preheat the car by turning on the air conditioning, and in summer, you can precool it. When equipped with the display key, it can include a comfort access function, automatically unlocking and starting the vehicle when you approach it, essentially adding a comfort access feature. If the original car has an electric tailgate function, it can also sense and operate the electric tailgate. The key's display and the mobile app allow you to check the vehicle's status at any time, including remaining fuel range, unauthorized door opening alerts, abnormal alerts, battery voltage status, etc. How to change the BMW display key to Chinese: Bring the key close to the car, press the unlock button, then press the lock button, and it will switch to Chinese. The BMW smart touch key can display various vehicle status information and control selected functions through the integrated touchscreen.

Can Vehicle Nameplates Be Counterfeited?

Vehicle nameplates cannot be counterfeited, as each car has a nameplate that specifically documents its identity. Most vehicle nameplates are located in the engine compartment, and by directly checking this nameplate, the production date of the vehicle can be determined. Here is additional information: 1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, is a unique set of seventeen alphanumeric characters used on automobiles to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. The first three characters are always letters, representing the manufacturer, with the first character being the country code (China is "L"). This is followed by codes for the vehicle's performance structure and an anti-counterfeiting check digit. 2. Vehicle Nameplate Locations: (1) Located below the front passenger door when opened. (2) A certificate of conformity provided at the time of purchase contains detailed information, including the production date and factory data. (3) The location varies by vehicle model. Generally, it can be found on the nameplate under the engine hood, but some are located near the right front door or below the windshield. The 10th digit of the chassis number indicates the model year.

How many seconds does the BYD Han take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

BYD Han accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time refers to the time it takes for a car to accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour, which is an intuitive reflection of the car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration times between 11 to 13 seconds, while 2.0T mid-size sedans range between 7 to 8 seconds. Supercars mostly have acceleration times of less than 3.8 seconds. The BYD Han is a mid-to-large luxury car under the BYD brand, with body dimensions of 4980mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1495mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. The front-wheel-drive version of the BYD Han has an electric motor with a maximum power of 163 kW and a maximum torque of 330 N·m. The all-wheel-drive version features a combined motor power of 363 kW and a combined torque of 680 N·m. The hybrid version is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 N·m.

Is the fuel consumption high for a new car?

For a new car that hasn't gone through the break-in period, the fuel consumption may be slightly higher. However, this also depends on individual driving habits and road conditions. Reasons for high fuel consumption in new cars: For a newly purchased car, since the various components of the engine have not been fully broken in, the gaps between parts are relatively small, and the engine's running resistance is higher compared to a broken-in car. Therefore, it's advisable to patiently go through the break-in period and observe if there are any changes in fuel consumption after the first maintenance. If the fuel consumption after the break-in period is higher than before, it might be due to dirty fuel injectors and throttle body not being cleaned in time. Normal fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for new cars: Approximately 4-6 liters for 1.0L, 5-7 liters for 1.3L, 7-8 liters for 1.5L, and 7-9 liters for 1.6L. However, fuel consumption is a complex factor that also depends on the car's performance, road conditions, and the driver's skill.

Why do the high beams turn on when using the turn signal?

It could be due to a short circuit in the wiring or an issue with the combination switch. Turn signal structure and principle: Resistive types can be further divided into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and flap type (spring-loaded). Electronic types can be categorized into hybrid (relay with contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic (no relay). For example, the spring-loaded flasher utilizes the principle of current thermal effect, using thermal expansion and contraction as the driving force to cause sudden movement of the spring plate, thereby connecting and disconnecting the contacts to achieve light flashing. Hazards of high beams: The probability of traffic accidents at night is 1.5 times higher than during the day, with 60% of major traffic fatalities occurring at night. 30-40% of nighttime accidents are caused by the misuse of high beams. When human eyes are exposed to the strong light of car headlights, the pupils automatically contract from the normal 5~8 mm to 1 mm or even smaller, reducing the amount of light entering to less than 1/30 of the original. After passing another vehicle, since the pupils cannot recover in time, the amount of light entering suddenly decreases, resulting in a phenomenon similar to night blindness, leading to numerous traffic accidents.

Is it necessary to start the engine when using a circulation machine to replace coolant?

When using a circulation machine to replace coolant, you should not start the engine. Functions of coolant: Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It provides excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. Composition of coolant: The main components of coolant are: 50% purified water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of coolant: Coolant is generally classified into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Coolant should not be mixed: It is necessary to use the same brand of coolant. Different brands may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators for coolant are freezing point and boiling point. Available freezing points on the market include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.
