How to Deal with Engine Fire?

Methods to handle engine fire: First, the owner should turn off the engine, then aim the fire extinguisher at the fire and spray, remembering not to fully open the engine hood—only a small gap should be opened to use the fire extinguisher. Simultaneously, call for rescue. When the owner smells a burning odor or sees smoke inside the car, they should immediately park the vehicle in a shaded area and check which part of the car is emitting the odor or smoke. At this point, the owner should stop the car promptly without panicking, immediately pull the handbrake, turn off the power, retrieve the fire extinguisher, and cool down the fuel tank and burning area to extinguish the fire. If there is no fire extinguisher or not enough fire extinguishers, clothing, quilts, or other materials can be used to smother the fire. Most of the car's electrical wiring, tires, and interior decorations are flammable materials, so they should be prioritized for handling.

If I forget to lock the car door, can the car be stolen?

Forgetting to lock the car door generally does not result in the car being stolen. As long as the key is not left in the car, others cannot drive it away due to the vehicle's anti-theft system. When the key is removed, the power is cut off, and the door is closed, the vehicle is typically locked by the driver using the remote key. Most car models on the market do not have a key electronic signal distance detection function, so the car will not automatically lock. Forgetting to lock the car door may lead to the risk of theft of belongings inside the vehicle. After a theft, the following documents should be submitted: original insurance policy, hazard notice, list of lost items, car key, original vehicle registration certificate and its copy, copy of the vehicle registration certificate, original purchase invoice, additional cost certificate, newspaper notice for vehicle search, parking lot certificate, original parking fee receipt, equity transfer letter, police report acceptance slip, proof from the public security criminal investigation department that the case remains unsolved after three months, vehicle management department archive seal certificate (or stolen vehicle license plate cancellation registration form), and road maintenance fee suspension certificate. If the vehicle is recovered within three months of being stolen or robbed, it belongs to the policyholder, and the insurance company will compensate for the actual repair costs. If the entire vehicle is not recovered within three months, the insurance company will compensate based on the actual value of the car at the time of the incident (i.e., the purchase price of a new car at the time of the incident minus the depreciation amount based on the car's age).

How to Clear the Car Malfunction Indicator Light?

Eliminating the car malfunction indicator light can be done by starting and turning off the vehicle three times in a row, or by disconnecting the negative terminal of the engine battery, waiting for 30 seconds, and then reconnecting it. It's important to note that when the engine malfunction light is on, it usually cannot be cleared manually. Typically, you need to visit a 4S shop to use a fault detection device for troubleshooting before the light can be cleared. There are three scenarios when the engine malfunction light is on: 1. If the car cannot start, it may be due to a fuel pump or ignition component failure, in which case you should call for assistance immediately; 2. If the malfunction light is on but there are no noticeable driving abnormalities, it could be a sensor malfunction. You can continue driving temporarily, but it's best to drive at low to medium speeds and get the car checked at a repair shop as soon as possible; 3. If the engine malfunction light is on and the vehicle can still be driven but exhibits severe shaking, loss of acceleration power, or other symptoms, you should call for a tow truck immediately.

What does the factory cold break-in of a new car mean?

The factory cold break-in of a new car refers to the process where the internal components of the engine transition from their initial manufactured state to an operational state before the engine reaches its normal working temperature. After this break-in period, the surfaces of these components become smoother, the contact area between parts increases, and the fit becomes tighter, preventing overheating and potential sintering at extreme points under severe operating conditions. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car: 1. Warm up the engine before starting; 2. Always use first gear when starting; 3. Avoid high-speed operation during the break-in period, keeping the speed below 100 km/h.
