For one-time depreciation of a car, debit the management expenses account and credit the accumulated depreciation account. Below are the specific precautions for vehicle inspection upon delivery: 1. Inspect the body: Visually examine the car's paint surface for scratches and wear. Check for color differences in the paint under sufficient sunlight by opening the doors and adjusting angles to let light shine from various directions to inspect the smoothness of the sheet metal. 2. Test the doors: Open the doors to check if they operate smoothly and ensure the gaps between the doors and the front/rear bumpers are consistent. 3. Inspect the engine: Open the engine hood to check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, there may be noticeable dust or stains in certain areas. 4. Check the glass: Verify if the windshield is original.

Which Type of Car Fire Extinguisher is Better?

According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, it is advisable to choose one with a capacity of 1-3 kilograms. Additionally, since the storage conditions for fire extinguishers in vehicles are not ideal, it is best to opt for dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers. Below are the instructions for using a dry powder fire extinguisher: 1. Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside the cylinder. 2. Remove the safety pin and hold the nozzle with your hand (for hose-less extinguishers, support the base of the bottle with your hand), then aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. 3. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle.

How to Identify Genuine Brembo GP4 Calipers?

Counterfeit Brembo brake calipers often have rough and easily peeling paint, with incorrect color tones. Authentic Brembo brake calipers typically come in four standard colors: red, black, silver, and yellow. Characteristics of Brembo: BREMBO braking systems are distinguished by their progressive braking response, unlike other brands that require extremely stiff suspensions. Even vehicles with slightly modified suspension kits won't experience excessive nose-diving during braking. Function of Calipers: Automotive calipers are clamping devices designed to decelerate, stop, or maintain the stopped state of moving wheels, generally used exclusively in disc brake systems. They are positioned on the protruding outer side of the brake pads, serving as components that enhance braking performance and are essential parts. Typically, automotive calipers come in three colors: red, yellow, and gray. However, yellow calipers are usually applied to ceramic brake systems.

How to Adjust Valve Clearance in a Car?

Valve clearance adjustment: The cylinder-by-cylinder adjustment method involves turning the crankshaft twice to complete the valve clearance adjustment. Detailed instructions for valve clearance adjustment are as follows: 1. Three-cylinder engine: When cylinder 1 is at the compression top dead center, the semi-circular key of the camshaft should be in the upward position. 2. Four-cylinder engine: (1) 1--3--4--2, 4--2--1--3, double-exhaust no-intake double-exhaust no-intake. (2) 1--2--4--3, 4--3--1--2, double-exhaust no-intake double-exhaust no-intake. 3. Five-cylinder engine: (1) 1--2--4--5--3, double-exhaust no-intake. (2) 4--5--3--1--2, double-double-exhaust no-intake.

What is the lifespan of Japanese cars in kilometers?

Japanese cars have a lifespan of around 600,000 kilometers, depending on the actual condition of the vehicle. Automobile lifespan: The lifespan of an automobile refers to the continuous mileage or usage time from the moment a vehicle is put into operation after leaving the factory. Over prolonged use, due to the aging and wear of components and other forms of damage, the performance of the car gradually declines, and various consumptions increase until it is no longer suitable for continued use. Automobile classification: The lifespan of an automobile is determined by comprehensively considering its technical condition, economic benefits during use, and overall value in service, leading to a human-determined termination of its operational period (scrapping). Depending on different starting points, purposes, and standards for determining lifespan, automobile lifespans are categorized into technical lifespan, economic lifespan, and reasonable lifespan.

What Does Suspension Stiffness Adjustment Mean?

Suspension stiffness adjustment refers to the ability to manually adjust the softness or firmness of the suspension. Another method involves automatic adjustment based on the vehicle's specific operating conditions, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Below is more detailed information about suspension stiffness adjustment: 1. There are two types of suspension stiffness adjustment: manual and automatic. While driving, the driver can adjust the suspension stiffness using buttons inside the vehicle. Alternatively, the vehicle can automatically adjust the suspension stiffness based on driving speed or sensor data, without requiring manual control via a knob. Both methods aim to enhance the vehicle's comfort. 2. The suspension used in a vehicle directly affects its comfort and handling. With the continuous advancement of automotive production technology, some high-end models are equipped with an adaptive suspension system. The function of an adaptive suspension is to manually or automatically alter the suspension's height and stiffness to meet the demands of different road conditions.
