Insurance companies generally sign a total loss agreement with the car owner and provide a certain amount of compensation based on the agreed insured amount. The following are relevant details: 1. Claim scope: You must purchase the corresponding car damage insurance to receive compensation from the insurance company. In claims for vehicle damage after heavy rain, as long as the engine is not damaged due to secondary ignition in water, all repairs and part replacements fall under the coverage of car damage insurance. If the vehicle is stationary and is completely submerged in water, resulting in total loss, the insurance company will compensate for the total loss. However, if car damage insurance is not purchased, all these losses must be borne by the owner, and the insurance company will not provide compensation. 2. Car damage insurance: This is a type of commercial auto insurance where the insurance company compensates within a reasonable range for damage to the insured vehicle caused by an insured accident while the vehicle is being used by the insured or an authorized driver.

How many kilometers can a car run after the fuel light comes on?

When the fuel light comes on, the car can generally run for about 100 kilometers. This also depends on factors such as the car model, road conditions, and driving habits. For most models, the car can run for about 60 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. Additionally, you can refer to the owner's manual, which usually indicates how many liters of fuel remain in the tank after the light comes on. This allows you to estimate the remaining distance based on your usual fuel consumption. Here are some precautions for refueling: 1. Remember the fuel filler location: Note whether the fuel filler is on the left or right side of the car to avoid issues with the fuel hose length, which could affect refueling speed. 2. Prevent theft when leaving the car: If you are alone at the gas station, lock the car when stepping away to prevent theft. 3. Engage the handbrake to prevent rolling: Some gas stations have slopes, so it's best to engage the handbrake while refueling, especially if there are children in the car. 4. Turn off the engine and avoid smoking: This is self-explanatory; make it a habit. 5. Avoid using mobile phones and step away from the car during refueling: Try not to use your phone at the gas station due to radiation risks. Ideally, step away from the car while refueling. 6. Refuel in the morning or evening: Daytime temperatures are generally higher, causing gasoline to expand due to heat. Refueling during cooler times can save money. 7. Avoid refueling during thunderstorms: Gasoline is flammable, and refueling during a thunderstorm could have disastrous consequences.

What Types of Accidents Disqualify Vehicles from Inspection Exemption?

Vehicles involved in traffic accidents resulting in casualties are disqualified from inspection exemption and must undergo mandatory inspection at testing stations. Owners must resolve all outstanding traffic violation records and accident settlements; otherwise, annual inspections will not be approved. Additionally, minivans and vehicles with 7 or more seats are not eligible for exemption. For non-commercial passenger cars and other small/mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, biennial inspection exemption applies (though inspection decals must be renewed every 2 years). Applications can be submitted either in-person at traffic management authorities (requiring compulsory insurance certificates and vessel/vehicle tax payment proofs) or online.

How Often Should Oxygen Sensors Be Replaced?

Automotive oxygen sensors do not have a fixed replacement interval, but it is recommended to replace them for vehicles with over 100,000 kilometers. The oxygen sensor is a critical feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system, divided into front and rear oxygen sensors. It is advisable to purchase replacements through official channels. Below is an introduction to oxygen sensors: 1. The automotive oxygen sensor is a key feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system. It plays a vital role in controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution, and improving fuel combustion quality in the engine. Oxygen sensors are installed on the engine exhaust pipe and come in two types: zirconia and titania. 2. The oxygen sensor uses ceramic sensing elements to measure the oxygen potential in various heating furnaces or exhaust pipes. Based on chemical equilibrium principles, it calculates the corresponding oxygen concentration to monitor and control the air-fuel ratio in the furnace, ensuring product quality and compliance with exhaust emission standards. It is widely used in atmosphere control for various coal, oil, and gas combustion furnaces. 3. If the oxygen sensor fails, the electronic fuel injection system's computer will not receive information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, leading to an inability to provide feedback control on the air-fuel ratio. This can result in increased fuel consumption, higher exhaust pollution, and engine issues such as unstable idling, misfires, and surging. Therefore, it is essential to address faults or replace the sensor promptly.
