There are no legal stipulations regarding the duration for stock vehicles, which generally refer to cars that remain unsold for 6 months after leaving the factory. Relevant details: 1. Outdoor stock vehicles: Prolonged exposure to sunlight accelerates paint deterioration and premature aging of rubber seals, while rain may cause electronic components to dampen, and dust can clog the vehicle's cooling system and drainage holes. 2. Indoor stock vehicles: During extended storage, the battery discharges, various fluids degrade, and components like tires develop deformation due to prolonged static contact with the ground. 3. Engine risks from long-term parking: The engine contains multiple lubrication channels where oil film can solidify if the engine remains inactive, potentially leading to clogged passages. This may result in severe damage to critical components like piston pins and valves, causing significant financial losses to owners.

What is the ABS Anti-lock Braking System?

ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. Its function is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of around 20%), thereby ensuring maximum adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. Single-channel ABS: Also known as one-channel ABS, it features a single brake pressure modulator installed in the rear wheel brake line and a wheel speed sensor mounted on the rear axle differential (some models may have a sensor on each rear wheel). Dual-channel ABS: This type of ABS struggles to balance directional stability, steering control, and braking efficiency, and is rarely used nowadays. Three-channel ABS: It independently controls the two front wheels while jointly controlling the two rear wheels based on the low-select principle (i.e., both wheels are controlled by one channel to ensure the wheel with less adhesion does not lock up), also known as hybrid control. Four-channel ABS: Equipped with four wheel speed sensors, it has a separate brake pressure modulator for each wheel's brake caliper line, enabling independent control and forming a four-channel control system.

Does the Qashqai have anti-collision beams?

The Qashqai is equipped with an anti-collision steel beam inside the front bumper, but there is no anti-collision beam installed in the rear bumper, only a buffer device is designed. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. The anti-collision steel beam is a U-shaped channel formed by stamping cold-rolled steel plates and is connected to the longitudinal beams of the car, serving as a protective barrier for the vehicle. Its function is to absorb and buffer external impacts, protecting the safety of the front and rear parts of the car. 2. The Qashqai is a compact SUV under the Dongfeng Nissan brand. It has a body length of 4401mm, a width of 1837mm, a height of 1593mm, and a wheelbase of 2646mm. In terms of power, the Qashqai is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151Ps, a maximum power of 111kW, and a maximum torque of 194Nm.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine?

1.5L naturally aspirated engine consumes 6~8 liters per 100 kilometers. When driving on highways at a speed of around 90km/h, the fuel consumption is about 6.5L/100km; the combined fuel consumption for urban and suburban roads is about 7.5 liters. The following is an introduction to displacement: 1. Introduction: Displacement, a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Car displacement is an important parameter to measure a car. Some domestic cars do not have the car model marked on the rear, but the displacement is usually indicated on the body or rear of the car. It is generally expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of the engine size than the cylinder diameter and number of cylinders, and many indicators of the engine are closely related to the displacement. 2. Large displacement: Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy), which means better "power performance," so SUVs and sports cars usually have relatively larger displacements. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

Can the BYD Han be driven without a key?

The BYD Han can be driven without a key. In addition to the traditional smart key, the BYD Han comes with a card key that supports NFC sensing for door opening. Simply place the card near the rearview mirror housing to easily unlock the vehicle, eliminating the need to carry the bulkier traditional key. Locking the doors with BYD's NFC car key: When the vehicle's power is in the "OFF" position/remote start mode/bluetooth start mode/remote control start mode, and the doors are closed but not locked, place the top of your phone's back near the command area on the left front exterior rearview mirror to lock all doors simultaneously. Unlocking the doors with BYD's NFC car key: In anti-theft mode/remote start mode/bluetooth start mode/remote control start mode, place the top of your phone's back near the command area on the left front exterior rearview mirror to unlock all doors simultaneously. After unlocking, you have 10 minutes to start the vehicle. If the vehicle is not started within this time, you will need to swipe the card again.

What to Do About Loud Car Tire Noise?

Solutions for loud car tire noise include: 1. Adjust the tire pressure to a moderate level; 2. Perform shock absorption, sound insulation, sound absorption, and buffering on the chassis, fenders, and wheel arches; 3. Replace the tires with quiet-type tires; 4. Choose smooth road surfaces while driving to effectively reduce friction between the tires and the ground, thereby lowering tire noise. Car tire maintenance methods: 1. Regularly check tire pressure; 2. Remove debris from the tire treads; 3. Inspect the tire wear condition and replace them promptly based on wear; 4. Perform four-wheel rotation to ensure even force distribution across all four tires and avoid excessive wear.

Is it serious if the driver's license expires for three months?

It is serious. Even one day overdue counts as expired. An expired driver's license cannot be used to drive motor vehicles on the road, which constitutes unlicensed driving. If caught by traffic police, the vehicle will be impounded immediately. Below is additional information: 1. Regarding the renewal period for an expiring driver's license: The first issued driver's license is valid for six years, and renewal must be completed within three months before the expiration date. A driver's license that has exceeded its validity period cannot be used to drive. In most cities, the renewal can be completed on the same day, and there are self-service renewal machines at the vehicle management office for convenient processing. However, if the license has already expired, renewal can only be done at the service hall of the vehicle management office. 2. Regarding delayed renewal of the driver's license: Due to special circumstances or reasons, some people may not be able to renew their license within a short period. For example, if someone is abroad, in another city, or on a long business trip without their driver's license, and the license is about to expire, they can apply for a delayed renewal. Once the delayed renewal is approved, the driver's license will be temporarily frozen, meaning driving is not allowed. Only after completing the renewal procedures at the vehicle management office can the individual continue to drive. The maximum delay period for a driver's license renewal is three years.
