Currently, there is no mandatory scrapping period for new cars as long as they are private passenger vehicles. Service life for various types of motor vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a service life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years; rental passenger vehicles 15 years; small training passenger vehicles 10 years, medium-sized training passenger vehicles 12 years, and large training passenger vehicles 15 years; public transport passenger vehicles 13 years; other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years; dedicated school buses 15 years; large and medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, excluding large cars, 20 years; three-wheeled vehicles and low-speed trucks with single-cylinder engines 9 years, other trucks including semi-trailer tractors and full-trailer tractors 15 years. Vehicle scrapping standards: Reaching the prescribed service life; failing to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements; atmospheric pollutants or noise still not meeting the national standards for in-use vehicle requirements; failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark within three inspection cycles.

Is it mandatory to service a new car at a 4S shop for three years?

A new car does not have to be serviced at a 4S shop for three years. After the initial maintenance period, you can choose the service location yourself. Maintenance at a 4S shop is relatively safer as they have all the car's records, understand the vehicle well, and have relatively complete parts. If you consistently service and maintain your car at a 4S shop, there will be a complete maintenance record, which serves as a comprehensive health report for the car. If you can ensure that the car does not have quality issues during the warranty period and does not require warranty service, the manufacturer will provide a warranty period for a certain time. If quality issues arise during the warranty period, they will be repaired for free. If you do not follow the manufacturer's requirements to service the car at a 4S shop on time, the warranty will be voided.

How to Deal with Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction?

Electronic parking brake malfunctions generally manifest as the inability to engage or release the parking brake. When the electronic parking brake fails to engage, you can try restarting the vehicle and attempting again. If the operation fails, it is necessary to go to a repair shop or 4S store for detailed inspection or repair. If the electronic parking brake cannot be released, the vehicle will be unable to move, which is a relatively rare situation requiring a call for rescue services. If the electronic parking brake malfunctions after replacing the rear brake pads, it is recommended to go to a repair shop or 4S store to rematch the electronic braking system. Other faults require checking the circuit from the fuse or the electronic parking brake switch. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, controlling parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method changes from a lever handbrake to an electronic button.

What does the P on a car mean?

The meaning of P on a car is as follows: 1. P displayed on the dashboard: The symbol is a circle with a P in the middle, parentheses on both sides of the circle, and the entire symbol is red, indicating the parking brake indicator, used to show whether the parking brake is engaged. 2. The P button on the car: It is the on/off switch for the parking sensors, which is turned on by default. If the driver feels that the parking sensor alerts are unnecessary, they can press this button to turn off the parking sensor function. 3. P on the gear shift: It stands for Park, usually used when turning off and parking the vehicle. After shifting into P, the vehicle's braking system will be locked.

How many kilometers can a car travel with one bar of fuel?

A car can travel approximately 30 to 50 kilometers with one bar of fuel remaining. Having only one bar of fuel left in the tank will not harm the car. The yellow fuel warning light serves as an alert to remind the driver to refuel. Below are some relevant details about car fuel consumption: Factors affecting car fuel consumption: A car's fuel consumption is not only related to the vehicle itself but also depends on the driver's habits and road conditions. The exact distance a car can travel with one bar of fuel depends on multiple factors. When the fuel warning light comes on, there are typically 5-10 liters of gasoline left in the tank, though this varies slightly depending on the engine displacement and tank size, as specified in the car's manual. Knowing the remaining fuel allows for a rough estimate of the remaining distance, though this can vary significantly based on road conditions and driving skills. Fuel level precautions: Avoid running on low fuel for extended periods, as this can damage the vehicle. When the fuel warning light is on, it indicates that the fuel level has dropped below the fuel pump, causing the exposed pump to overheat due to lack of fuel cooling. Continuing to drive under these conditions can worsen the overheating and is not advisable. It is best to refuel when the fuel level drops to one-quarter. Additionally, avoid overfilling the tank during refueling.

Where is the air filter located in the 2011 Teana?

The air filter of the Teana is located under the glove box on the passenger side, near the left foot area of the passenger seat. Below is relevant information about the air filter: 1. Functions: Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air; has strong and lasting moisture adsorption capabilities; prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes; maintains clean cabin air without bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment; effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air; effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 2. Usage Notes: The air filter easily accumulates a lot of dust; use compressed air to blow away loose dust—never wash it with water, as this can easily damage it. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function in the air filter diminishes, so it is recommended to replace the air filter at a 4S shop.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Buick Excelle 1.6?

Buick Excelle 1.6 has a fuel consumption of approximately 5.1-8.2L. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick. To meet the diverse needs of consumers, this model offers different powertrain combinations. Although the engine power is not exceptionally strong, it sufficiently meets daily driving requirements. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Bumpy roads increase fuel consumption: Poor road conditions or uneven surfaces force the vehicle to operate in lower gears for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption. 2. Overloading the trunk raises fuel consumption: Using the trunk as a storage space and filling it with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight. It's important to note that vehicle weight and fuel consumption are directly proportional. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding percentage drop in fuel consumption. 3. Incorrect driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Improper driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are common issues.
