If the insured amount is higher than the actual value at the time of the incident after the insured vehicle suffers a total loss, compensation will be calculated based on the actual value at the time of the incident. That is, compensation = (actual value - residual value) × accident liability ratio × (1 - deductible rate). If the insured amount is equal to or lower than the actual value at the time of the incident after the insured vehicle suffers a total loss, compensation will be calculated based on the insured amount.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a vehicle?

Generally, cars should be economical family vehicles~ The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, and 2.0 cars is approximately 5L, 7L, 10L, and 12L, respectively. If the fuel consumption is excessively high, the following situations may have occurred: Excessive carbon buildup in the car engine: The operation of a car relies on the combustion of gasoline. However, gasoline inevitably contains some impurities, and long-term accumulation can form carbon deposits and sludge on the engine surface. This not only damages the engine but also easily leads to difficulties in starting, high idle speed, excessive exhaust emissions, and other issues, further increasing the car's fuel consumption. Excessive burden on the air conditioning system: Summer is the peak period for air conditioning usage. After prolonged use, dust and dirt can easily accumulate in the air conditioning system, not only fostering bacteria and causing unpleasant odors in the cold air but also increasing the car's fuel consumption.

What brand is torque?

torque refers to rotational force, not a brand, and is commonly engraved on car tires. For example, DYNA-TORQUE represents high-torque tires. Below is more information about car tires: 1. Tire specifications: Generally composed of six parts - tire width, aspect ratio, tire type code, tire diameter, load index, and speed rating code. 2. Explanation of car tire specification parameters: Tire width is a factor affecting vehicle fuel consumption. Wider tires have greater contact area with the ground, increasing friction between the tire and road surface. This results in more energy loss through friction heat conversion from the vehicle's kinetic energy, meaning wider tires tend to consume more fuel over the same distance. The aspect ratio mainly affects the vehicle's responsiveness to road conditions. Lower aspect ratio tires have thinner sidewalls and bear greater pressure, providing excellent road feedback and quicker transmission of road signals to the driver for better handling - commonly seen in performance-oriented models. Higher aspect ratio tires have thicker sidewalls, offering ample cushioning but poorer road feel, particularly showing more sluggishness during turns - typically found in comfort-focused models.

What procedures are required for registering a new car in a different location?

The procedures required for registering a new car in a different location involve bringing the following four documents to the local vehicle management office for vehicle inspection, payment of vehicle purchase tax, license plate selection, and processing the vehicle license. Below are the documents and process required for registering a new car in a different location: Documents and process required for registering a new car in a different location: Original and copy of the vehicle certificate of conformity, original purchase invoice (in triplicate), owner's ID card, and insurance policy. According to national regulations, as long as the vehicle has a legitimate invoice, certificate of conformity, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance, any new car purchased from a legitimate auto market nationwide can be registered at the owner's place of residence. When registering the license plate, the owner only needs to provide: Original and copy of the certificate of conformity, original purchase invoice, purchase tax, owner's ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Purchasing a car in a different location inevitably involves driving the car back. If insurance is not purchased, any accidents during this process will result in all losses being borne by the owner. Therefore, whether purchasing a car locally or in a different location, insurance must be purchased first, but for out-of-town purchases, local insurance must be obtained.

What Causes an Engine to Show No Signs of Starting?

An engine showing no signs of starting may be due to insufficient fuel or ignition system failure: Insufficient Fuel: First, check the fuel level in the tank. The usual practice is to turn on the ignition switch. If the fuel gauge needle does not move or the low fuel warning light comes on, it indicates there is no fuel in the tank. You should add sufficient fuel before attempting to start the engine. Checking the Ignition System: The most common reason an engine fails to start is that the ignition system does not produce a spark. Therefore, before proceeding with further checks, you should first rule out any faults in the ignition system. When checking for high-voltage sparks in the electronic fuel injection engine's ignition system, use the correct method. Do not use the traditional method for checking high-voltage sparks in contact-type ignition systems, as this may damage the electronic components in the ignition system. Checking Ignition Timing: If the ignition advance angle deviates significantly from the standard, it can also cause the engine to show no signs of starting. Therefore, you should check and adjust the ignition timing.

Will a vehicle be automatically deregistered if it hasn't been inspected for three years?

A vehicle that hasn't been inspected for three years will be subject to mandatory scrapping, not automatic deregistration. According to regulations, if a registered motor vehicle fails to obtain the mandatory inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after its inspection validity period expires, it shall be compulsorily scrapped. Below are explanations about vehicle inspection cycles and the consequences of overdue inspections: Vehicle inspection cycles: Three consecutive inspection cycles don't necessarily mean three years - this depends on the vehicle's actual inspection schedule. For passenger vehicles over 15 years old, inspections are required every six months. Failing to undergo inspection for three consecutive cycles (i.e., within 1.5 years) will result in compulsory scrapping. Consequences of overdue inspections: This means that failing to inspect a vehicle for three years (three inspection cycles) leads to compulsory scrapping rather than automatic deregistration. In such cases, the owner must not only send the vehicle to a recycling facility for scrapping but also complete the vehicle deregistration process. If this registration cancellation is overdue, the vehicle management office may legally declare the vehicle's registration certificate, license plates, and driving license invalid.

Is reverse parking divided into left and right side parking?

Reverse parking is divided into left and right side parking, and both sides are tested in the Subject 2 reverse parking examination. The Subject 2 examination includes the following five items: 1. Reverse parking. 2. Parallel parking. 3. Hill start and stop. 4. Right-angle turn. 5. Curve driving. Information about Subject 2 is as follows: 1. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. 2. Test items for different vehicle types: For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving as mandatory items. For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test items include pole test, hill start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turn, limited-width gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnel driving, driving in rain and fog, slippery road driving, and emergency handling.
