The total mileage of a car is usually displayed on the dashboard. To check other information such as average fuel consumption or remaining range, press the left button on the dashboard several times. To verify the actual mileage of a car, you can check the maintenance records at a 4S store, use an OBD computer to read the engine mileage, read the transmission mileage with an OBD computer, observe the wear on brake discs, tire wear, and interior wear, among other methods. If maintenance records are unavailable or the car hasn't been serviced at a 4S store, you can use an OBD diagnostic tool to read the car's data and check the engine and transmission mileage. This method is quite common. However, some car computers are highly restricted or require specialized OBD tools for reading, making it impossible to check the mileage with a standard OBD computer. In such cases, you can only rely on experience to estimate the mileage.

How many days does it take for Traffic Management 12123 to detect running a red light?

Running a red light can generally be detected or receive an SMS notification through Traffic Management 12123 within 3 to 7 days, with the latest notification not exceeding 13 working days. Currently, the most accurate way to check vehicle violations and driving license points is to log in to the traffic bureau website where the vehicle is registered. Alternatively, you can access the query system on the 12123 website (i.e., the local public traffic police websites), where you need to input the license plate number and vehicle identification number. Criteria for defining running a red light: 1. Running a red light is determined when both the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are outside the line when the light turns red. The front wheel crossing the line does not trigger a photo; only when the rear wheel crosses the line does a photo cycle begin; 2. If two pulse signals are generated within the same red light cycle, it is considered 'valid'; 3. Some drivers, after their front wheels cross the line, reverse back into the line to avoid being photographed, but still get captured because the system detects 'a pair' of pulse signals within the same red light cycle, deeming it 'valid'; 4. The photo system starts with a 2-second delay after the yellow light turns on. The system is already active when the red light turns on and shuts down 2 seconds before the green light turns on, mainly to prevent false captures.

What are the consequences of having the vehicle license in someone else's possession?

Hazards include the risk of the vehicle license photo falling into the hands of criminals, leading to information leakage and potential 'cloning' of the vehicle. It is best not to give the vehicle license photo to others, as the license contains detailed information such as the license plate number, vehicle model, owner's name, address, vehicle identification number, engine number, and file number. Relevant information about the vehicle license is as follows: 1. Introduction one: The vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. 2. Introduction two: The front of the main page contains the endorsed core information, the back has the vehicle photo, and it is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page contains the endorsed core information.

Can a Small Car Be Equipped with a Parking Air Conditioner?
