Replacing the bumper does not count as an accident vehicle. Below is the extended content: Definition of an accident vehicle: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle where the engine compartment and the passenger compartment have been damaged. Vehicles with rear quarter panel impacts exceeding 1/3 of the panel. Vehicles with welded, reshaped, cut, or deformed longitudinal beams, shock absorbers, or ABC pillars. Vehicles where the airbags have deployed. Vehicles where the body has been submerged in water exceeding half of the body height, or where water has entered the passenger compartment. Vehicles where the body has been on fire over an area exceeding 0.5 square meters, or where non-removable parts have been welded, cut, reshaped, or deformed. Methods to identify an accident vehicle: First, check the maintenance and repair records of the vehicle brand at the 4S store's after-sales department. Inquire with the insurance company about the vehicle's insurance to determine if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. Inspect the wear and tear of the vehicle's interior and check the exterior for any signs of repainting or repairs.

Can You Still Drive When the Coolant Warning Light Comes On?

You should not continue driving when the coolant warning light comes on. The coolant warning indicates a lack of coolant, which can cause the engine to overheat. Continuing to drive under these conditions may damage the engine and reduce its lifespan. Another scenario is when the coolant warning light comes on right after starting the engine but disappears after the engine warms up. This happens because the coolant level is at the minimum threshold. It is recommended to check the coolant level in the reservoir every 20,000 kilometers and use a freeze point tester to verify if the coolant's freezing point is normal. If the freezing point is abnormal, the coolant should be replaced. Additionally, if visible flocculent particles are observed in the reservoir, it also indicates that the coolant needs to be replaced.

What is the S gear in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission S gear is the sport mode. When this gear is engaged, the gears can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a period of time to increase the car's power. The S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working aspects, which increases the transmission load and raises the temperature in a short time, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for extended periods. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Thus, using the S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improve fuel economy, and extend the engine's lifespan.

What is the brake warning light?

brake is the brake warning light, which usually illuminates when the ignition is turned on, the brake is pressed, or the handbrake is engaged. If it stays on for a prolonged period, it indicates an issue with the braking system. You should check whether the brake fluid level is sufficient. If it is insufficient, inspect the brake calipers and brake lines for leaks. If the brake pedal feels weak or lacks sufficient braking force, it may indicate air in the brake system, requiring a check for leaks in the vacuum booster pump. The brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle, featuring a red-colored main body to enhance light penetration, making it easier for following vehicles to detect braking even in low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions.

How to reset when the tire pressure light comes on?

Methods to reset when the tire pressure light comes on: 1. For models with a tire pressure reset button, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button; 2. Some models can be set through the tire pressure monitoring function on the central control screen. Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a beep, then release it. At this point, the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and finally the dashboard warning light will turn off. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.
