Honda Civic rust causes and solutions: prolonged exposure to humid environments, coupled with wheel rim scratches and the use of strong acid or alkaline cleaning agents during car washing, lead to oxidation corrosion and subsequent rust formation. Additional information: 1. The Civic sports appearance package includes: 17-inch blackened alloy wheels, center exhaust, red instrument panel, metal pedals, and black exterior trim. Since the official launch of the tenth-generation Civic in 2016, its sharp and sporty design along with powerful acceleration performance quickly won the favor of many young people, earning it the nickname "Ferrari Civic." 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission, with the 1.0T model only available in CVT. Compared to competitors in the same class, the 1.5T plus CVT powertrain offers advantages for both daily commuting and spirited driving, with significant modification potential.

I bought a 10th-gen Civic last year. When I picked up the car, I specifically checked the welding points on the chassis and the edges of the door frames, and they were clean at the time. After driving for almost a year, mostly parked outdoors, I noticed two rust spots the size of a fingernail on the chassis during last month's maintenance. The mechanic said it was due to salt corrosion from not rinsing off the mud properly after washing. Actually, Japanese cars generally have thinner galvanized steel layers, so extra care is needed, especially in coastal cities in the south. It's recommended to rinse the chassis after heavy rain, focusing especially on the areas around the tires and mudguards. If you find rust spots when picking up a new car, just ask the dealership to handle it—don’t believe them if they say it’s normal. My neighbor’s domestic car hasn’t rusted in five years, so it really depends on the manufacturer’s integrity.

Does Changan vehicles have particulate filters?

Some Changan models are equipped with particulate filters, while models using the Blue Whale 1.4T and 1.5T engines do not have particulate filters, such as the Changan Eado Plus model. Working principle and function of particulate filters: The particulate filter consists of honeycomb-shaped ceramics with a certain pore density. Exhaust gas passes through the alternately blocked honeycomb-shaped porous ceramic filter body, forcing the exhaust flow to pass through the pore walls. Particulates are captured and filtered through four methods: diffusion, interception, gravity, and inertia. When particulates accumulate to a certain extent, GPF regeneration is triggered, oxidizing the captured carbon particulates with oxygen to consume them, thus completing a full cycle of GPF operation. Currently, most China VI models are equipped with particulate filters. Methods to check if a vehicle has a particulate filter: The user manual and instruction manual include information on whether the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Additionally, you can check online by logging into the "Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network," entering the "Public Query Platform," and selecting "Production and Import Queries Before 2017" or "Production and Import Queries After January 1, 2017" based on the production date. Enter the VIN code and the last 6 digits of the engine number of the vehicle you want to query. After entering the query, you can see the Light-Duty Gasoline Vehicle Environmental Information On-board List. If the vehicle has a particulate filter, the manufacturer will be displayed; if not, it will show "None."

What are the requirements for driver's license photos? Are there any clothing color restrictions?

Driver's license photos cannot feature white clothing because the photo background is required to be white. It is best to wear bright-colored clothing with high contrast. Below are the specific requirements for driver's license photos: 1. Photo timing: The photo must be a recent (within the last 6 months) front-facing, color, bareheaded, single-person half-length small-sized (1-inch) photo of the driver's license applicant. 2. Photo dimensions: The driver's license photo size should be 32mm × 22mm, with the head length between 19mm and 22mm and the head width between 14mm and 16mm, against a white background. 3. Clothing requirements: The photo must not feature white clothing because the driver's license has a white background, which would make the clothing blend in and lack contrast. Uniforms are also not allowed; casual clothing is recommended for the photo. Of course, overly colorful or eccentric clothing is also not acceptable. The final photo must be clear and show a natural expression.
