Compulsory traffic insurance does not cover water-damaged vehicles because it is designed to compensate third-party vehicles and individuals. Vehicle damage can only be claimed if comprehensive auto insurance has been purchased. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state and is required for vehicles to legally operate on the road. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Traffic management departments of public security authorities shall detain motor vehicles, notify the parties to provide corresponding licenses, markings, or complete necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Premiums are based on nationally unified standards, but prices vary depending on the vehicle type, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a broader range, including losses caused intentionally by the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance provides compensation within the liability limits without deductibles or exemptions. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies: An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurer. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully document the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract, and it is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources by eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information accessible online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance or resending, eliminating concerns about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Simplifies management, as electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage vehicle insurance information.

My car was flooded once during a heavy rain last summer, with water reaching up to the seats. The repairs cost several thousand yuan. I checked the compulsory traffic insurance (CTPL) and found that it only covers injuries or property damage to others, such as medical expenses if you hit someone, but it doesn't cover any damage to your own car from flooding. You need to purchase commercial insurance like vehicle damage insurance or waterlogging insurance to cover such losses. Since then, I've been reminding my friends to check their insurance policies before the rainy season to see if they have added waterlogging coverage. If your car gets flooded, it should be towed for repairs immediately to avoid further damage like electrical short circuits. For daily parking, choose higher ground to avoid low-lying areas, such as staying away from the exits of underground shopping mall parking lots.

Can a car be transferred without the green book?

No, a car cannot be transferred without the green book. The green book for a car typically refers to the vehicle license and vehicle registration certificate. Below is detailed information about the vehicle license: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the stamped core of the document, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, all sealed in a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the stamped core of the document. Relevant regulations: Article 17 of the 'Road Traffic Management Regulations' issued by the State Council stipulates: Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are permitted to drive. Therefore, possessing a 'Motor Vehicle License' is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road, and driving without the license is a violation of regulations.

What engine is used in the Weizhi V5?

The engine of the Weizhi V5 is independently developed by the FAW Group Technology Center and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Weizhi V5 is CA4GA5, with a maximum power of 75 kW, a maximum torque of 135 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 102. For daily maintenance of the Weizhi V5's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either burst the filter element or open the safety valve, bypassing the filter and carrying contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from worn parts to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How Many Kilometers Can a Car Run at One Time?

Generally speaking, a car can run about 500 kilometers on a full tank of fuel. Here are some related details: Factors affecting fuel consumption: Considering factors such as load-bearing economy, installation space, displacement fuel consumption, etc., the fuel tank capacity of general cars is configured based on the fuel consumption for running 500 kilometers on mixed roads. Typically, cars with a displacement of 1.6-1.8 have a fuel tank capacity of 40-50 liters, while those with a displacement of 2.0-2.4 have a capacity of about 50-60 liters. Estimation based on fuel consumption: The manual of each car indicates how many liters of fuel remain in the tank after the fuel gauge light comes on, and some even indicate approximately how many kilometers the car can still run. Therefore, based on the usual fuel consumption during driving, you can roughly estimate how far the car can still go. According to standard fuel consumption, when the fuel gauge light comes on, the car can still run about 50-90 kilometers.

Does Car Air Conditioning Installation Require Refrigerant Recharge?

Refrigerant recharge is required. There are two methods for recharging refrigerant in car air conditioning systems: the high-pressure side charging method and the low-pressure side charging method. Below are the relevant details: Applicable situations: There are two scenarios when a car air conditioning system requires refrigerant recharge: First, if the air outlet temperature cannot reach below 16°C, refrigerant needs to be added. Second, if the air outlet temperature can reach below 16°C but takes an excessively long time (e.g., more than 5-6 minutes), refrigerant recharge is also necessary. Two methods: There are two refrigerant charging methods for car air conditioning systems: The high-pressure side charging method is suitable for post-leak detection and vacuum evacuation, but note this method requires the compressor to be turned off with the engine stopped, and the refrigerant tank must be inverted. The low-pressure side charging method introduces gas refrigerant, characterized by slower charging speed, typically used for refrigerant top-up situations.
