Here are the methods to handle hard braking in cars: 1. When braking, users should try to minimize the braking distance to protect the brake pads. First, use the engine's braking effect by downshifting to reduce speed, then lightly press the brake pedal. This shortens the braking distance and reduces wear on the brake pads. 2. Pay special attention to maintaining a safe distance during daily driving, decelerate in advance, and avoid sudden braking. Especially when the traffic light at an intersection is flashing, do not force your way through. 3. During normal driving, if you are not using the brakes, your foot should be off the brake pedal. Even resting it lightly on the pedal is not advisable, as it can easily increase wear on the brake pads. It is important to develop the habit of immediately releasing the pedal and lifting your foot after braking.

How to Tow a Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle?

For manual transmission two-wheel drive vehicles, when in neutral gear, the transmission gears are not engaged, so all three methods can be used. Simply put the vehicle in neutral and release the handbrake. Use a tow truck with a lift or a flatbed tow truck. When using a tow truck with a lift, remember to lift the drive wheels—lift the front for front-wheel drive and the rear for rear-wheel drive. For full-time four-wheel drive vehicles, all four wheels are drive wheels. No matter which set of wheels is lifted, the other set will roll, potentially causing damage to the transmission.

How to Complete Vehicle Ownership Transfer Procedures?

Vehicle ownership transfer procedures are as follows: 1. Obtain the used vehicle sales contract at the service window and fill it out; 2. Drive the vehicle directly to the inspection area for verification, photography, VIN tracing, and license plate removal, then complete the inspection record form; 3. Take a queue number, wait for your turn, and after staff confirms no traffic violations exist, proceed with the transfer formalities. Vehicle transfer not only helps avoid purchasing smuggled or stolen cars but also clearly defines responsibility allocation between buyer/seller regarding the vehicle and confirms ownership change, safeguarding both parties' legal rights. This effectively prevents unnecessary debt disputes, economic conflicts, and traffic violations.

How to Deal with Scratches on a Car?

Wet the sandpaper and gently sand the dirt at the scratched area. Ensure thorough sanding to completely remove the dirt, as residual dirt can cause paint to peel off. After cleaning the dirt, apply the touch-up paint pen to a piece of paper to match the color with the car body. Use a cleaning cotton pad to wipe the area that needs touch-up painting. Unscrew the upper part of the touch-up paint pen cap and use the brush to apply the paint evenly. Apply thin layers, approximately 2-3 layers in total.
