New cars require the following types of insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: It is a mandatory insurance that must be purchased for motor vehicles. The insurance company compensates for personal injury, death, and property damage caused to victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle) in road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Simply put, it is a 'mandatory third-party liability insurance.' This insurance cannot be dropped at will, as doing so would be illegal. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Abbreviated as 'TPL,' it covers accidental incidents caused by the insured or an authorized qualified driver while using the vehicle, resulting in direct personal injury, death, or property damage to a third party. The insurance company provides compensation, and the coverage limit is chosen by the insured, typically ranging from 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, 300,000, 500,000, to 1,000,000, mainly supplementing the shortcomings of the compulsory insurance. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. The insurer compensates according to the terms of the insurance contract, which is the opposite of third-party liability insurance.

Does Car Air Conditioning Installation Require Refrigerant Recharge?

Refrigerant recharge is required. There are two methods for recharging refrigerant in car air conditioning systems: the high-pressure side charging method and the low-pressure side charging method. Below are the relevant details: Applicable situations: There are two scenarios when a car air conditioning system requires refrigerant recharge: First, if the air outlet temperature cannot reach below 16°C, refrigerant needs to be added. Second, if the air outlet temperature can reach below 16°C but takes an excessively long time (e.g., more than 5-6 minutes), refrigerant recharge is also necessary. Two methods: There are two refrigerant charging methods for car air conditioning systems: The high-pressure side charging method is suitable for post-leak detection and vacuum evacuation, but note this method requires the compressor to be turned off with the engine stopped, and the refrigerant tank must be inverted. The low-pressure side charging method introduces gas refrigerant, characterized by slower charging speed, typically used for refrigerant top-up situations.

Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the Peugeot 308?

The fuel tank cap switch of the Peugeot 308 is located on the control panel to the left of the steering wheel. Here is some relevant information: 1. The fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 308 is 56L. According to PCauto, the Peugeot 308-1.6L has a combined fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km for the manual transmission and 7.6L/100km for the automatic transmission.

The outer cap is mostly electronically controlled or cable-operated, and some require a key to open. The electronic control button or cable-operated lever is usually located on either side of the driver's seat, marked with a fuel pump icon. Pressing or pulling it will automatically open the fuel tank door. The inner cap can only be seen after opening the outer cap. The inner cap is made of rubber material; turning it to the right tightens it, and turning it to the left opens it.

What to Do When the Rearview Mirror Gets Wet After Rain?

In rainy weather, water droplets adhere to the exterior rearview mirrors and side windows, making it difficult for drivers to see the vehicles behind them, thereby significantly increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents. Electrically heated rearview mirrors use high temperatures to evaporate the water droplets on the mirror surface, clearing the view through the rearview mirror, but their performance in actual use is not ideal. Here is additional information: Electrically Heated Rearview Mirrors: For a driver to see the situation in the rearview mirror during rain, their line of sight must pass through the side window glass, the rainwater on the side window, and the rainwater on the rearview mirror. With multiple layers obstructing the view, it is nearly impossible to clearly see objects in the rearview mirror. In such situations, to remove rainwater from the side window glass, one can use the method of raising and lowering the window to scrape off the rainwater with the sealing rubber strip. However, opening the window will result in the door panel and the driver getting wet from the rain.

Is the Geely Xingrui an Automatic or Manual Transmission?

Geely Xingrui is an automatic transmission. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Definition: Automatic transmission generally refers to the automatic gear-shifting mechanism in cars. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operations. 2. Gears: A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Taking the Xingrui 2021 2.0T Elite model as an example: its length, width, and height are 4785mm, 1869mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2800mm. It is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and has a body type of a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.

At What Water Level Does a Car's Engine Risk Water Intake?

For ordinary sedans, the exhaust pipe is typically 20 to 30 centimeters above the ground, while for SUV models, it's around 30 to 40 centimeters. As long as the water level does not exceed half the height of the tires, the engine will not be submerged. Below is relevant information: Assessing Water Conditions: Areas with waves and whirlpools often indicate the presence of large rocks or other obstacles, while calmer water surfaces usually signify deeper water. Locations with uniform, small waves typically have smoother road surfaces underneath, making them safer to pass through. Determining Water Depth: If the water depth exceeds the level of the exhaust pipe, there is a risk of stalling and water intake. Generally, if the water does not surpass half the height of the wheels, driving slowly and cautiously through the flooded area should be safe.
