Domestic cars that have been in stock for more than 3 months or longer are generally considered stock cars. Additional information: 1. Definition: There is no clear legal definition for stock cars, but in the automotive sales industry, there is indeed a term called "stock cars," which generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than a year without being sold. As a commodity, stock cars are large in volume, expensive, and incur high storage costs, while also tying up a significant amount of dealers' capital. Therefore, dealers usually do not allow stock cars to remain in inventory for an extended period. However, for various reasons, there are indeed many cars in the market that have been in stock for over a year. 2. Introduction: The most extreme cases of stock cars can remain in stock for several years. The correct practice is that stock cars should be cleaned, maintained, and have their batteries charged periodically. However, in reality, few dealers follow this practice, and only perform the most basic cleaning before delivering the vehicle to the customer. The longer a car remains in stock, the greater the cost pressure on the dealer, and the more outdated the model becomes, making stock cars often the first to experience significant price drops in the market.

Is a tire pressure of 270 normal for the Mercedes-Benz C260L?

The tire pressure of 270 for the Mercedes-Benz C260L is not normal. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure ranges from 2.4 to 2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system will alert when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What Causes the Subaru Forester's Air Conditioning Not to Cool?

Subaru Forester's air conditioning not cooling is caused by a blocked expansion valve in the AC system, which prevents the refrigerant from circulating properly, thus failing to produce cooling. Here are some tips for using car air conditioning: 1. Ventilate before turning it on: After the car has been exposed to prolonged sunlight, open all four doors and the sunroof to allow air circulation for 3 minutes. This quickly lowers the interior temperature, making the AC cooling more effective. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: Recirculation blocks outside hot air, creating a sealed space inside the car where air rapidly circulates under the AC's effect for quick cooling. Once the interior temperature drops, it's recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes to purify the cabin air, then switch back to recirculation after 5 minutes. 3. Turn off the AC in time: Shut off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking to protect the engine and save fuel.

What's the reason when the car sunroof responds but fails to open?

It may be due to severe lack of lubrication in the sunroof sliding track, causing the sunroof seal to adhere to the car body. Here are some relevant introductions about sunroofs: 1. Functions of a sunroof: It can quickly lower the temperature, eliminate fogging, and rapidly exchange fresh air. Opening the sunroof while driving can quickly increase the air circulation speed inside the car, thereby improving ventilation in the cabin. 2. Precautions for sunroof use: Open the sunroof in traffic jams to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car. During traffic congestion when all vehicles are stationary, exhaust emissions inevitably disperse in the air. Open the sunroof after sun exposure to balance interior temperature. In hot summers, when the car has been exposed to intense sunlight and the interior temperature becomes extremely high, the owner should promptly open the sunroof.
