You can request a replacement car when getting your vehicle repaired at a 4S shop. Here are the details: 1. Conditions for providing a replacement car: Generally, if the repair time at the 4S shop exceeds 5 days, they should offer a replacement service. According to Article 19 of the 'Regulations on the Repair, Replacement, and Return of Household Automotive Products' implemented on October 1, 2013: During the warranty period of household automotive products, if the repair time (including waiting time for spare parts) exceeds 5 days due to quality issues, the consumer should be provided with a replacement car or reasonable transportation cost compensation. 2. Additional conditions: For example, a deposit may be required before using the replacement car, or the car must be returned with a full tank of fuel. Any traffic accidents, violations, or fines incurred are the responsibility of the car owner. These terms need to be negotiated between the car owner and the 4S shop.

How to Solve the Buzzing Noise When Accelerating in Accord?

The causes and solutions for the buzzing noise when accelerating in Accord are as follows: 1. Insufficient lubrication of engine components by the oil: New oil needs some time to evenly lubricate all engine parts after running for a while. 2. Large gaps and poor sealing: The engine condition may deteriorate, leading to abnormal situations. It is recommended to check at a repair shop. 3. Excessive carbon buildup: Lack of maintenance may result in excessive carbon buildup (engine carbon buildup, throttle carbon buildup, spark plug carbon buildup, etc.). Cleaning at a repair shop is necessary. 4. Poor filtration (most commonly due to a dirty air filter): Cleaning or replacement at a repair shop is required.

Do Cars Need to Warm Up in Winter?

Cars need to warm up in winter, requiring idling for about a minute before driving slowly. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. When the engine is first started, the upper part lacks lubrication as there is no oil. It takes about 30 seconds for the oil pump to deliver oil to components like the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft. 2. After starting the vehicle, the idle lubrication hasn't fully circulated, making it prone to wear. Most engine wear occurs within the first three minutes of a cold start. 3. After sitting overnight, the lubricating oil on the engine's friction surfaces has mostly drained away, leaving them without protective oil films.

What does SRS in cars mean?

Automotive SRS refers to the Supplemental Restraint System, commonly known as airbags. Airbags consist of sensors for inflation and an inflation system. Their functions include: protecting occupants by reducing impact with interior components, distributing head and chest collision forces more evenly, absorbing occupant kinetic energy, and thereby complementing the effectiveness of seat belts. Precautions for using airbags are: 1. Airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts; 2. Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated; 3. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag; 4. Maintain good driving habits to ensure a safe distance between the chest and the steering wheel; 5. Avoid high temperatures and store airbag components properly; 6. Do not modify the airbag system or its surrounding layout without authorization.
