The current automotive Three Guarantees policy, implemented nationwide on October 1, 2013, stipulates that a vehicle can be replaced if the same fault is repaired more than five times. Within the validity period of the Three Guarantees, if the cumulative repair time for a car exceeds 35 days, or if the number of repairs for the same product quality issue exceeds five times, consumers can request a vehicle replacement. The new Three Guarantees policy has revised these thresholds to 30 days of cumulative repair time and four repair instances, making it significantly easier for consumers to qualify for a replacement—a clear benefit. Additionally, for car dealers who refuse to comply with the Three Guarantees regulations, the new policy increases the penalty from the previous 30,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, substantially strengthening enforcement measures.

What are the advantages of Sundiro Honda's dual-displacement engine?

Sundiro Honda's dual-displacement engine offers better body stability compared to a single-cylinder engine and provides faster speed. Dual-cylinder engine: Refers to an engine with two cylinders, which consists of two identical single cylinders arranged on a single block sharing a common crankshaft to output power. Function of a dual-cylinder engine: It is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form of energy. Typically, it converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Sometimes, the term engine applies both to the power-generating device and to the entire machine including the power unit, such as gasoline engines and aircraft engines. The main part of an engine is the cylinder, which serves as the power source for the entire vehicle.

Does a car need to warm up before starting?

Yes, a car needs to warm up before starting. Reasons for warming up: After prolonged parking, most of the engine oil inside the car flows back to the oil pan. During a cold start, the oil cannot immediately reach all engine components to form an effective protective film on their surfaces. If the vehicle is driven immediately after starting, it will accelerate engine wear. Correct method for warming up a car: After starting the engine, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute before driving, then proceed at a slow speed. Accelerate only after the temperature returns to normal. However, considering that components like the engine are still at low temperatures, avoid high engine RPMs during this period. Gently press the accelerator to keep the engine speed below 2000 RPM, operating under relatively 'gentle' conditions.

How Long Does a Full Tank of Gas Last for a Motorcycle?

A full tank of gas for a motorcycle typically allows it to travel around 100 to 200 kilometers. There are many types of motorcycles, and different engine displacements and models have varying fuel consumption rates. Additionally, the fuel tank capacity differs among models, so the distance a full tank can cover varies depending on the motorcycle. Methods to Determine Fuel Consumption: You can estimate fuel consumption using the motorcycle's dashboard. Here, F=full represents a full tank, and E=empty indicates an empty tank. When the fuel warning light turns on, note the odometer reading and record the amount of fuel added. When the tank is empty again, record the odometer reading once more. Subtract the initial odometer reading from the current one, then divide by the amount of fuel consumed to calculate the fuel efficiency. Factors Affecting Fuel Consumption: Engine displacement is somewhat related to fuel consumption, but higher fuel consumption doesn't always mean a larger displacement. Relatively speaking, a vehicle's engine size does not directly correlate with fuel efficiency in a proportional manner. Besides engine size, factors such as the vehicle's aerodynamics, weight, and engine technology also significantly impact fuel consumption. Among motorcycles with the same displacement, those with more advanced engine technology tend to be more fuel-efficient.

What are the differences between China 6 and China 5?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: The China 6 emission standard is more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of driving conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of national motor vehicle emission standards. China 6 was implemented on July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China 5 stage, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by the letter V, while China 6 is represented by VI. Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulatory aspects. The China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b, as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 mg of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted in normal use (no driving bans or license plate restrictions), their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners, if they purchase a truck on loan for cargo transport, the depreciation of the vehicle after paying off the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, which have a longer service life and more road rights, offer greater advantages.

What is the legal basis for the three-document consistency requirement when refueling motorcycles?

There is no legal basis for the three-document consistency requirement when refueling motorcycles; it is a regulation established based on the "Fire Protection Design Code for Automobile Gasoline and Gas Filling Stations". Three documents required for motorcycle refueling: To refuel a motorcycle, the rider must present a driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate, and the motorcycle must be licensed. This is primarily to combat the illegal operation of unlicensed and unregistered vehicles on the road. Regulations for refueling at gas stations: First, open flames are strictly prohibited within the gas station, and all hazardous materials are forbidden. Repairing vehicles, striking metal objects, or any other activities that may generate sparks are strictly prohibited inside the station. When a motorcycle enters the station for refueling, the gas station should assign a designated staff member to guide the motorcycle to the designated refueling area. The rider must not remain seated on the motorcycle during refueling. All motor vehicles must be turned off while refueling. Motorcycles, light motorcycles, and tractors must be turned off before entering the station and must not be started within the station.

Is the Trunk Safe?

The safety of a car's trunk is relatively good, but it's best not to store valuable items inside. Precautions for placing items in the trunk: Do not overload the trunk with heavy items, as this not only increases the vehicle's burden but also raises engine consumption. Over time, it may also pose safety hazards. Avoid placing items that are prone to corrosion or spoilage, as this situation often occurs. Do not store flammable or explosive materials; such items must be transported by specialized vehicles, and private cars should never transport them without authorization. Methods to open the trunk: Press and hold the trunk unlock button on the remote key, and the trunk will open automatically. Some models may only pop open slightly, requiring manual lifting. There is also a trunk-opening switch in the driver's compartment with an icon indicating the trunk; activating this switch will open the trunk.
