Methods for caring and maintaining a new car include: 1. Wait for half a minute before turning off the engine after parking; 2. Do not let the fuel tank run empty; refuel before the fuel light comes on; 3. Turn on the ignition before starting the engine, do not start it directly; 4. It is important to get maintenance at a professional 4S shop within the specified time; 5. Check the brake pads at 60,000 km and replace them promptly if they are worn out quickly; 6. Perform a tire cross-swap at 30,000 km to extend the tire's service life; 7. When starting a cold car, let it idle for a minute to allow for a warm-up period; 8. Do not accelerate abruptly when starting; shift gears when reaching a certain RPM.

Where is the passenger airbag located?

The passenger airbag is located above the glove compartment. The area marked 'airbag' above the glove compartment indicates the position of the passenger airbag. Below is relevant information about airbags:1. Composition: Mainly consists of airbag sensors, anti-collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side anti-collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side anti-collision airbag is generally mounted on the dashboard. Airbag sensors are installed on the left, right, and center of the cabin partition.2. Activation conditions: Airbags require appropriate speed and collision angle to deploy. Theoretically, airbags may only deploy when the vehicle impacts a fixed object within approximately 60 degrees left or right of the front center at speeds above 30 km/h.

What are the reasons for the failure to register a motor vehicle on 12123?

The reasons why the Traffic Management 12123 cannot register your own motor vehicle include system information delay, the number of vehicle registrations exceeding the maximum limit, and the vehicle already being bound. Below are the detailed explanations and solutions: Information delay: After purchasing a new car, there may be a delay in information synchronization. Generally, you can check the vehicle information on 12123 after waiting for about half a month. If the vehicle information still cannot be found after a long time and registration fails, you should consult the staff at the vehicle management office for detailed assistance. The number of vehicle registrations exceeds the maximum limit: The Traffic Management 12123 has the following requirements for vehicle registration: each user can only register 3 vehicles not under their own name, and the same vehicle can be registered by up to 3 other people besides the owner. If the number of registrations exceeds this requirement, registration will naturally fail. Vehicle already bound: If the original owner has already bound this vehicle during the sale of a used car, you need to ask the original owner to unbind it before you can register it again. There are two ways to register a motor vehicle not under your name: The first method is to scan the QR code of the motor vehicle to be registered, take the required photos according to the displayed instructions, fill in the detailed information, and enter the mobile verification code of the vehicle owner. The second method only requires entering the license plate number, the last 6 digits of the engine number, and the mobile verification code received by the vehicle owner. The system backend will automatically approve the registration.

What is the current required for car ignition?

During gasoline engine startup, the battery output current can reach 200 to 600 amps, while for diesel engines, it can go up to 1000 amps. Below is relevant information about starting current: 1. Concept: The Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating refers to the minimum current obtainable under specific conditions at -17.8°C and -28.9°C. This rating connects the battery's starting capability with important variables such as engine displacement, compression ratio, temperature, starting time, the technical condition of the engine and electrical system, and the minimum operating voltage for starting and ignition. 2. Normal current value: Generally, the starting current is 20 times the operating current. If the battery is weak or not fully charged, or if the low voltage indicator is damaged, this might occur. It is recommended to test the battery voltage after 25 kilometers of driving. For a 48V battery, a reading around 50V indicates normal battery condition.

What are the inconveniences of having an out-of-town license plate?

Vehicles with out-of-town license plates face many inconveniences locally, such as annual inspections, insurance, and travel, which are more troublesome compared to vehicles with local license plates. Below are the relevant details about the annual inspection for out-of-town license plates: 1. Preparation of documents: To apply for a vehicle annual inspection delegation notice, the owner needs to bring their "Resident ID Card," "Vehicle Driving License," vehicle insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-town annual inspection to the vehicle management office at the registration location. 2. On-site vehicle inspection: Following the standard procedure, after the owner completes the out-of-town delegation of the vehicle annual inspection at the original registration vehicle management office, the office will issue a paper delegation letter to the applicant and send an online delegation notice for the vehicle annual inspection to the delegated vehicle management office.

Is U-turn allowed in service areas?

The entire expressway does not allow U-turns, whether in service areas or not. To make a U-turn, you must exit at the next interchange and then turn around. Below is some relevant knowledge: 1. Purpose of underground U-turn passages in service areas: Most service areas have underground U-turn passages, primarily designed for cargo transportation between the two sides of the service area. Therefore, in principle, apart from cargo transportation, these passages are only available for highway patrol police and road administration law enforcement personnel on the same expressway, and are not provided for civilian use. 2. Reasons why underground U-turn passages in service areas are not available for civilian use: The main reason is to prevent some drivers from taking chances and exploiting loopholes to evade tolls. Since expressways charge fees based on distance, repeated U-turns can confuse toll calculations, affecting the billing method and creating issues with how to balance the toll fees.

Is it necessary to replace the filter when performing a transmission fluid flush?

When performing a transmission fluid flush, it is necessary to replace the filter. The transmission filter serves to filter the transmission fluid, thereby extending its service life. Transmission maintenance methods: 1. Check transmission fluid level: Regularly inspect the fluid level in the transmission to ensure it remains within the specified range. Replenish as needed based on actual working conditions, making sure to use the same type of fluid. When changing the fluid, drain the old fluid while the transmission is operating and clean the system. 2. Check transmission condition: During routine maintenance, inspect the condition of all transmission connection points to promptly identify any looseness, wear, or damage. Tighten any loose connections immediately and repair or replace damaged components. Regularly check for oil leaks at the shaft end face seals and external joints, replacing failed seals and gaskets as needed. 3. Structural component maintenance: Daily transmission maintenance should focus on structural components, including gears, bearings, and different shafts. Regularly inspect transmission gears for wear, chipping, or incorrect meshing. Pay special attention to bearing inspection, monitoring for excessive axial or radial clearance and worn spacers.
