If a new car has quality issues, you can request the 4S store to replace or refund it. According to the automobile three-guarantee policy, if a household automobile product meets the replacement conditions and the seller does not have the same brand and model of household automobile product, nor a household automobile product with a configuration not lower than the original car to replace for the consumer, the consumer can choose to return the product, and the seller shall be responsible for the return. Here is relevant information about compensation: 1. Compensation Conditions: Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers of driving mileage (whichever comes first), if the household automobile product experiences steering system failure, braking system failure, body cracking, or fuel leakage, and the consumer chooses to replace the household automobile product or return it, the seller shall be responsible for free replacement or return. 2. Compensation Scope: Within the three-guarantee validity period, if two repairs have been cumulatively performed due to serious safety performance failures, and the serious safety performance failures have not been resolved or new serious safety performance failures occur; if the engine or transmission has been cumulatively replaced twice, or the same major component of the engine or transmission has been cumulatively replaced twice due to quality issues, and still cannot be used normally (the replacement counts for the engine, transmission, and their major components are not duplicated); if the same major component of the steering system, braking system, suspension system, front/rear axle, or body has been cumulatively replaced twice due to quality issues, and still cannot be used normally, and the consumer chooses to replace or return the product, the seller shall be responsible for replacement or return.

Is it okay to change engine oil in advance?

It is acceptable to change engine oil in advance. The replacement of engine oil should be based on the mileage specified in the maintenance manual. Generally, mineral oil can be changed every 5,000 kilometers, while synthetic oil can be extended to 8,000-10,000 kilometers. The methods to determine whether the engine oil needs to be changed are as follows: 1. Dipstick identification: Pull out the oil dipstick and observe the scale line against a bright light to see if it is clear. If the oil is relatively clear, it indicates that the contamination is not severe. However, it should be noted that oil mixed with floating additives will quickly turn dark black during use, which is a normal phenomenon due to the effect of the additives. 2. Color inspection: The closer the color of the oil is to that of new oil, the better the oil quality. If the color turns dark brown, it means the oil has been used for a long time and is indeed dirty; if the color turns red, it indicates the presence of combustion exhaust gas. If the oil turns milky white, it means water has entered the oil, causing it to deteriorate, and the oil should be replaced immediately.

What is a simple and easy-to-understand explanation of non-deductible coverage?

Non-deductible coverage, in simple terms, transfers the 20% liability loss to the insurance company. It provides the policyholder with maximum protection in traffic accidents and supplements many current commercial insurance policies. After purchasing the coverage, the car owner can not only enjoy the portion of compensation that should be borne by the insurance company according to the insurance terms but also receive compensation for the amount that should be borne by the car owner due to their responsibility in the accident. Below is a detailed introduction to non-deductible coverage: 1. Introduction: Non-deductible coverage, officially known as non-deductible liability insurance, is an additional coverage for vehicle damage or third-party liability (meaning it cannot be purchased separately without the primary coverage). 2. Non-covered situations: (1) Additional deductible rate: The additional deductible rate does not involve the deductible amount that the car owner should bear due to accident liability, making the non-deductible coverage invalid. (2) Additional coverage deductible rate: Non-deductible coverage only applies to the deductible rates of third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance, transferring the deductible rate that the car owner should bear due to accident liability to the insurance company. However, additional coverages cannot interact with each other, meaning non-deductible coverage cannot transfer the deductible rates of theft insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, or no-fault liability insurance to the insurance company.

How Many Kilometers for the First Maintenance of a New Audi?

The first maintenance for a new car is generally between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Domestic cars usually have their first maintenance at around 3,500 kilometers, while some joint-venture and imported cars typically have their first maintenance at around 5,000 kilometers. Therefore, the first maintenance for new cars is usually done between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. The inspection and reasonable plan for new car maintenance are as follows: Inspection for New Car Maintenance: During the first maintenance, a comprehensive inspection is required. During the driving process, the wear and tear between car components can be identified and resolved during the first maintenance. If the issue is due to the manufacturer, the car can be sent back for repairs. Reasonable Plan for New Car Maintenance: Change the engine oil and oil filter. Additionally, check if the throttle valve is dirty—if cleaned, a computer reset is necessary. Replace the air filter and cabin air filter, but it is not recommended to simply blow them with compressed air and reuse them. Such action can damage the filter paper, allowing large particles of dust to enter the engine and cause unnecessary wear and tear.

What is the fuel tank capacity of Nissan Sunny?

Nissan Sunny has a fuel tank capacity of 41 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased Nissan Sunny can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for Nissan Sunny is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5.8 to 6.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 661 to 707 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
