For automotive films, whether it's a color-changing film or a paint protection film, applying one is better than not applying any. Here are the differences between the two: 1. Appearance-wise: Paint protection films are transparent and colorless, making them virtually invisible to the naked eye when applied to the car's surface, hence the name 'shadow car wrap.' Color-changing films, on the other hand, come in various colors, including matte, high-gloss, and options that can completely alter the entire car's paint color. 2. Installation method: Paint protection films are applied using a wet method, while color-changing films use a dry application technique. 3. Functionality: Paint protection films are made of high-performance polyurethane material, offering excellent protection against scratches, superior elasticity, and strong tensile strength, allowing them to conform to any curved surface seamlessly.

What to Do If Your Vehicle License Is Stolen?

If your vehicle license is stolen, you should apply for a replacement. In the event of loss or destruction of the vehicle license, the owner of the motor vehicle must fill out the Application Form for Replacement of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates and apply for a replacement vehicle license at the vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the motor vehicle. The replacement must be done within the vehicle's regular inspection cycle. If the inspection cycle has expired, the relevant regulations for motor vehicle periodic inspections shall apply. The vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features a photo of the motor vehicle. The supplementary page includes the endorsed certificate core. The vehicle license is issued by the Vehicle Management Center and is used to verify the authenticity of vehicle information.

What to Do If the Vehicle Fails to Meet Emission Standards?

Here are the relevant solutions: 1. Clean or replace the spark plugs. The spark plug is the heart of the engine and also a consumable item. When it ages or is damaged, it can lead to insufficient ignition capability, preventing the complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in excessive HC content in the exhaust. Daily maintenance of spark plugs can restore their activity through sandpaper or cleaning agents, but if severely aged, they need to be replaced. 2. Clean or replace the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. During vehicle operation, carbon deposits often form due to incomplete combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture. These deposits can adhere to the interior of the three-way catalytic converter and the surface of the oxygen sensor, causing blockages and leading to excessive exhaust emissions. 3. Perform a deep cleaning of the engine. Owners should visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to clean the engine's carbon deposits. After thoroughly cleaning the throttle body, fuel lines, intake ducts, and fuel injectors, the engine's operating conditions will improve significantly, avoiding excessive exhaust emissions caused by incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture under poor operating conditions.

Can ECO Mode Be Kept On All the Time?

ECO mode can be kept on for a long time. ECO mode, also known as economy mode, is particularly effective in saving fuel when the vehicle is frequently driven in congested urban traffic conditions. Under ECO mode, the amount of carbon deposits in the engine is roughly the same as that under normal operating conditions, so ECO mode can be left on continuously. The main principle of ECO mode is not complicated. It involves a comprehensive judgment and analysis of factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the appropriate amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with its Chinese translation being Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode is activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own 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 to adjust settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light is on, it merely serves as a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles use the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can generally keep ECO mode on. However, it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO mode but also negatively impact power performance. In addition, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking 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 hills, the engine computer prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode will not function in such scenarios.

What Do Yellow Road Markings Mean?

When driving daily, the yellow road markings encountered mainly include single yellow dashed lines, single yellow solid lines, yellow dashed-solid lines, double yellow solid lines, and yellow grid lines. Different types of yellow markings have different meanings, as detailed below: Single Yellow Dashed Line: Yellow dashed lines are also used to separate lanes in different directions, typically found on narrower roads. Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's dashed, drivers can cross the line to overtake or make a U-turn, provided it is safe to do so. Single Yellow Solid Line: Single yellow solid lines are used on roads with fewer central lanes, strictly prohibiting vehicles from crossing. Thus, driving on the line, overtaking, or making a U-turn is not allowed. When a yellow solid line is painted on the roadside or curb, it indicates that vehicles are prohibited from parking, either temporarily or for extended periods. Yellow Dashed-Solid Line: Yellow dashed-solid lines often appear at locations where ramps or bridges merge into main roads. Vehicles on the dashed side are allowed to temporarily cross the line for overtaking or U-turns, while vehicles on the solid side are prohibited from crossing, as doing so would be a violation. Double Yellow Solid Lines: Yellow solid lines are used to separate lanes in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road. Double yellow lines strictly prohibit vehicles from crossing, meaning driving on the line, overtaking, or making a U-turn is not allowed. Yellow Grid Lines: Parking is prohibited in areas marked with yellow grid lines. These markings indicate zones where stopping for any reason is forbidden and are commonly found in places prone to congestion due to temporary parking, such as schools, offices, residential areas, fire lanes, and intersections. While parking is not allowed, U-turns are permitted in these areas unless explicitly prohibited. Road Markings: These are lines, arrows, text, raised markers, and other indicators on the road surface that convey guidance, restrictions, and warnings to road users. Their purpose is to regulate and guide traffic, and they can be used in conjunction with signs or independently. In addition to yellow markings, common white markings include the following types: White Dashed Line: When painted on road sections, they separate traffic moving in the same direction or serve as safe distance indicators. At intersections, they guide vehicle movement. White Solid Line: When painted on road sections, they separate motor vehicles from non-motor vehicles or indicate the edge of a lane. At intersections, they can serve as guide lanes or stop lines. Double White Dashed Lines: At intersections, they function as yield lines. On road sections, they indicate reversible lanes that change direction over time. Double White Solid Lines: At intersections, they serve as stop lines.
