Here are two methods to check car maintenance records: 1. Directly visit a 4S store for inquiry: The vehicle archive systems of same-brand 4S stores are now nationwide networked. Simply bring the car owner's identity documents, purchase invoices and other credentials to a 4S store, and they will retrieve the vehicle's maintenance records. 2. Use paid third-party query tools: Many apps now provide 4S store maintenance record queries, likely using the same data system as 4S stores. Upload the vehicle license as required, confirm automatically recognized information like engine number and VIN, then click confirm to proceed with the query.

What are the symptoms of a faulty ABS?

There is an ABS light on the dashboard. If the ABS system is functioning properly, this light will blink. If the ABS system has a malfunction, the light will not blink and will remain constantly illuminated. The ABS system is the anti-lock braking system in a car, which prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking. More detailed information is as follows: 1. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the car will lose control and skid. In this situation, the driver cannot slow down the car or adjust its driving trajectory, which is very dangerous. 2. The ABS system allows the wheels to maintain a rolling and sliding state during emergency braking, preventing wheel lock-up. This enables the driver to slow down while adjusting the driving trajectory to avoid obstacles. 3. If the ABS system is faulty, it is recommended that drivers repair it immediately. Otherwise, the wheels may lock up during emergency braking, which is extremely hazardous. 4. When driving a car equipped with an ABS system, the best practice in an emergency is to firmly press the brake pedal all the way down and let the ABS system handle the rest. 5. When driving a car without an ABS system, in an emergency situation, you can use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to prevent wheel lock-up.

What does the yellow triangle exclamation mark in a car mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling a transmission issue or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is a lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

How Long Until a Pickup Truck is Scrapped?

Currently, pickup trucks are still subject to the mandatory scrappage policy after 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. Some regions are gradually lifting the 15-year scrappage rule for pickups, allowing household-use pickups to operate without an age limit, but they still must comply with the 600,000-kilometer scrappage regulation. Additionally, pickup trucks must adhere to the following inspection schedule: new pickups are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, but owners must visit the vehicle management office every two years to get a stamp during this period. From years 7 to 15, inspections are required annually, and after 15 years, inspections are required every six months. Pickups that fail inspections or exceed 600,000 kilometers must be scrapped. Below is an introduction to the pickup truck scrappage process: 1. Pickup truck scrappage and deregistration. The applicant must deliver the vehicle to a qualified motor vehicle recycling company for dismantling and obtain a "Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling Certificate." The recycling company then processes the "Motor Vehicle Deregistration Certificate" with the traffic management department and notifies the owner that the vehicle has been deregistered. 2. Pickup truck scrappage subsidy application. The applicant (or an authorized agent) must visit the service window to fill out and submit the "National III Diesel Vehicle Elimination Subsidy Application Form." The following documents are required for the application: (1) Original and photocopy of the "Scrapped Motor Vehicle Recycling Certificate"; (2) Original and photocopy of the owner’s ID card (for corporate vehicles, submit the original and photocopy of the business license); (3) Original and photocopy of the owner’s bank card (photocopy must be signed by the individual; for corporate vehicles, submit the original and photocopy of the bank account opening license, with the photocopy stamped with the company seal); (4) If handled by an agent, a notarized power of attorney from the owner or corporate legal representative, along with the original and photocopy of the agent’s ID card, must be provided. 3. Pickup truck subsidy disbursement. After approval, the subsidy funds will be transferred to the bank account opened under the owner’s (or company’s) name.
