The battery has a service life of approximately 2 to 5 years, with a general recommendation of 3 years. Battery Replacement Cycle: The battery plays a crucial role in the operation of a vehicle. If it fails to supply power properly, the engine may malfunction or stall. Typically, the battery in a car should be replaced every 2 years or so, but with proper maintenance, it can last up to 4 years. Battery Replacement Method: Place the new battery in the same location where the old one was removed. Connect the positive and negative cables to the correct sides. Tighten all screws, clamps, or rods securing the battery. Reconnect the positive terminal and tighten the clamp with a wrench. Reconnect the negative terminal and tighten the clamp with a wrench. Apply lithium-based battery grease—spray lithium-based grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion. Close the hood—securely shut the hood and start the car. Check that all electronic devices are functioning normally.

What does a keyless start system mean?

A keyless start system refers to an advanced radio frequency identification technology that automatically locks and unlocks the car doors through the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. When approaching the effective detection range of the main door, the ID of the key chip will automatically match with the engine's ID. Upon successful pairing, the car door unlocks without needing a physical key. Vehicles equipped with a keyless start system usually have a sensor button on the door handle and a keyhole as a backup in case the smart card is damaged or runs out of battery, allowing the owner to open the door conventionally. When the owner enters the car, the onboard detection system immediately recognizes the smart card. After confirmation, the car's computer activates, and the vehicle can be started by simply pressing the start button inside the car.

Is the water damage insurance now included in the vehicle damage insurance?

Now the water damage insurance is included in the vehicle damage insurance. The following are the levels of water damage presumed total loss: 1. Water damage level one: The water just reaches the vehicle chassis, the vehicle floor may get damp, but the possibility of significant water ingress is low, and the impact on the vehicle's electrical equipment is minimal. 2. Water damage level two: The water reaches half of the wheels. Due to the incomplete sealing of the vehicle, water will start to enter the interior. For lower sedans, the water level inside may affect the adjustment motors of the seats and electrical components such as heating and ventilation. 3. Water damage level three: The water almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the water level inside will completely cover the seat cushions and the central armrest area, while also affecting a large number of electrical devices.

What does the L gear in an automatic car mean?

Automatic car's L gear refers to the climbing gear, also known as the low-speed gear. When the vehicle is in L gear, the transmission switches between low gears, specifically between 1st and 2nd gears. This is because climbing requires sufficient torque, and the engine needs enough power to allow the vehicle to ascend the slope. Therefore, this gear is typically selected when low speed and high torque are needed for climbing. When descending a mountain or a long slope, shifting into this gear restricts the car's gear to automatically stay in the lowest gear. This allows the car to use engine braking when going downhill, preventing the danger of brake pads overheating due to prolonged braking by the driver.
