During typhoon weather, most damages can be compensated through auto damage insurance. If a vehicle is hit by falling objects from high altitudes, resulting in window glass damage, this situation can also be covered by auto damage insurance even if the vehicle is not insured with glass insurance. However, insurance companies generally do not compensate for vehicles that only have glass damage with other parts intact. Here is a brief introduction to auto damage insurance: 1. Basic Information: Without scratch insurance, it is relatively difficult to claim a full car repaint for an accident vehicle. Since a full car repaint is more expensive, the fixed amount is also higher, so the damage assessment will be higher, requiring the car to be severely damaged to claim for the paint. Generally, insurance companies will not fully compensate, but only pay for the damaged paint surfaces. 2. Full Name of Insurance: The full name of scratch insurance is Body Scratch Loss Insurance. It is available for family-owned vehicles and non-commercial vehicles. It refers to the insurance company being responsible for compensating for the actual loss of the vehicle's surface paint that is scratched without obvious collision marks during the insurance period.

Why does the Chery A5 require 5 liters of engine oil?

Chery A5 only needs 3.5 to 4 liters of engine oil. Basic introduction of Chery A5: The Chery A5 is Chery's first fully forward-developed model, integrating global advanced technologies and development resources. With its advanced design concept, majestic and stable appearance, and humanized luxury configurations, it sets a new value benchmark for mid-size sedans. It offers the grandeur of a B-segment car at an A-segment price, creating a platform for pursuing dreams. The trunk capacity reaches 483 liters, with a fuel consumption of 8.5L/100km. Engine options include ACTECO 1.5L, 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L engines, designed under the Sky-line concept. Safety features of the Chery A5: The A5's safety system is comprehensive and meticulous. In terms of active safety, the A5 series is equipped with three major configurations: 'ABS+EBD+4-wheel disc brakes.' For passive safety, it includes six major features: 'B-segment oversized chassis + extended front body energy-absorbing buffer zone + energy-absorbing steering column + pre-tensioned seat belts + 4 airbags + full-steel side impact beams.' It also adopts the advanced serial CAN-BUS network controller found in high-end sedans, elevating the A5's technological sophistication to new heights. The A5 series is Chery's first fully independently developed new car and may also be the most thoroughly independently developed sedan in modern Chinese automotive history (fully independent projects include exterior, interior, and engine). It is no exaggeration to say that the A5 represents the highest level of independent sedan development in China today.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when shifting gears?

It is essential to depress the clutch when shifting gears. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the vehicle to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload in the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and prolong the service life of transmission gears. The working process of the clutch is: 1. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the push rod moves the master cylinder piston to increase oil pressure; 2. The oil flows through the hose into the slave cylinder, forcing the slave cylinder rod to push the release fork and move the release bearing forward; 3. When the clutch pedal is released, the hydraulic pressure is relieved; 4. The release fork gradually returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, and the clutch is re-engaged.

What is the method for extracting excess engine oil?

The method for extracting excess engine oil is: Remove the drain plug and directly drain it from the bottom. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in the engine cylinder; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of components. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include: 1. Checking the oil viscosity—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be replaced; 2. The oil color turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. Checking whether the oil smells normal.

After turning off the engine, avoid listening to music or using other electrical devices for extended periods; 2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery when the car is not in use for a long time; 3. Check whether the battery is securely fixed in the car and whether there are any impacts on the surface of the casing; 4. Check whether the battery cables are securely connected and whether there is dust in the exhaust vents; 5. Use the battery's inspection window to check the charging status and quality condition. The functions of the battery include: 1. Providing a strong starting current to the starter when starting the engine; 2. Assisting the generator in supplying power to electrical devices when the generator is overloaded; 3. Supplying power to electrical devices when the engine is idling.

What is the method to check if brake pads need replacement?

Check if brake pads need replacement by: 1. Observing the brake pad wear limit warning light on the vehicle dashboard; 2. Measuring the brake pad thickness, which should be between 1 to 1.5 cm. When the thickness wears down to less than 3mm, the brake pads should be replaced promptly; 3. Checking for brake caliper oil leakage that contaminates the brake pads. If oil stains remain after sanding with abrasive cloth, replacement is necessary; 4. Noticing a decrease in brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir; 5. Hearing squeaking noises during braking. The method for replacing brake pads: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level height to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Unscrew the brake caliper bolts and remove the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads and tighten the guide bolts.
