You need to insure compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, passenger liability insurance, and comprehensive theft insurance. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle insurance: 1. Definition of motor vehicle insurance: Motor vehicle insurance, also known as auto insurance (abbreviated as car insurance), refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. 2. Development of motor vehicle insurance: The true development of motor vehicle insurance occurred after World War II. On one hand, the popularity of automobiles made road accidents a widespread social hazard; on the other hand, many countries included third-party liability for various motor vehicles, including cars, within the scope of compulsory insurance. Therefore, motor vehicle insurance has become a universally significant insurance business globally.

In terms of insurance, I think it's essential to cover a few key areas to avoid unexpected expenses. The first is compulsory traffic insurance, which every car owner must have as it's legally required. Driving without it can result in fines. The second is third-party liability insurance. I've personally experienced hitting another car, which cost me a lot in compensation, and this insurance can cover part of the loss. The third is vehicle damage insurance, which covers your own car in case of scratches or collisions, saving you from paying out of pocket for repairs. The fourth to consider is theft insurance, especially in big cities where the risk of car theft is higher, providing peace of mind. Lastly, it's advisable to add passenger liability insurance to protect yourself and your passengers. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen many fellow drivers face huge compensations that drained their savings due to inadequate coverage. My suggestion is to choose based on the car's age: new cars should have comprehensive coverage, while older cars only need basic items. Regularly check your policy to ensure all risks are covered, and don't overlook safety just to save money. This way, whether it's long-distance trips or daily commutes, you can drive with confidence and fewer worries.

What parts need to be replaced during the third maintenance of Kia Sportage?

The regular items for the third maintenance of Kia Sportage include replacing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, etc. Some brand manufacturers may add additional maintenance items. The reason for these factors depends on the service life of the car parts. Some parts have a shorter service life and are prone to contamination, so they need to be replaced frequently. Other parts have a longer service life and thus a longer replacement cycle. The specific details are as follows: 1. Engine oil replacement: Under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, its performance greatly declines, and it loses its protective effect on the engine. The replacement cycle for mineral oil is about 5,000 kilometers; for synthetic oil, it is about 10,000 kilometers. 2. Oil filter replacement: To ensure the cleanliness of the oil circuit, the engine is equipped with an oil filter in the lubrication system. Its purpose is to prevent impurities from mixing into the oil, causing oxidation and producing sludge that can clog the oil circuit. The replacement cycle for the oil filter is the same as that for the engine oil, and it must be replaced simultaneously with the oil. 3. Air filter replacement: The air filter serves to block dust and particles inhaled by the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, dust can enter the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. It is best to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers by blowing it clean with an air gun, and replace it every 10,000 kilometers.

What is the method to permanently eliminate the three-way catalytic converter fault light?

The three-way catalytic converter fault light cannot be eliminated. When the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter is functioning properly, the fault light will not illuminate. If the three-way catalytic converter light comes on, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter, which requires inspection and repair. The three-way catalytic converter transforms harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction processes. It features stable performance and reliable quality, and the product is widely compatible with models from Toyota, Honda, Buick, Audi, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Suzuki, Changhe, and others.
