The usage method of auto start-stop is as follows: 1. When the auto start-stop turns off the engine, quickly shift to P gear, release the brake, and the engine will not start, allowing you to continue waiting. 2. For safety reasons, when the engine is off in D gear, pulling the handbrake and releasing the brake will not keep the engine off. To enable a quicker start, the engine will start even if shifted to N gear. 3. In most vehicles, the start-stop system is designed to maintain the engine-off state by quickly shifting from D gear to P gear. 4. The start-stop system is essentially a "cheating" method adopted by car manufacturers to meet strict emission and fuel economy regulations in various countries. Most start-stop systems do not operate smoothly, with noticeable jerks, resulting in a less-than-ideal experience for drivers and passengers.

Can the sunroof be canceled when ordering a car?

Yes. Here is the relevant introduction: Car sunroof: The car sunroof is not a mandatory configuration. Car owners can reasonably choose whether to have a sunroof based on their needs. Proper use of the sunroof can provide a fresher driving environment during the journey and assist in defogging in foggy weather. In summer, reasonable use of the sunroof can help lower the temperature inside the car in the shortest time. Leakage and dust accumulation: If the sunroof is used frequently, dust may accumulate in the gaps, making cleaning difficult. Additionally, if the sunroof's sealing is compromised, it may leak during rainy days, which is troublesome to handle and inconvenient for the car owner. Difficult maintenance: During use, the sunroof may produce abnormal noises due to assembly issues, affecting the driving experience. If the rubber seals around the sunroof age, it can also increase the car's maintenance costs. Safety hazards: Although car sunroofs may have anti-pinch functions, accidents can still occur. If objects fall from a height, they may break the sunroof, posing a threat to the safety of passengers. Therefore, consumers need to make a reasonable choice regarding the sunroof configuration.

What phone number should I call to contact the car owner for moving a vehicle?

Introduction to contacting the car owner for moving a vehicle by phone: 122 Traffic Police Emergency Number: If you encounter an emergency and need to go out, but your car is blocked by another vehicle, you can call the 122 Traffic Police Emergency Number. This number cannot directly query the car owner's information, but the police can assist in contacting the owner. If the owner cannot be reached, simply provide the license plate number and parking location to 122, and the police will come to move the vehicle after some time. 114 Information Service Number: 114 is also a commonly used number. It is an information service platform where you can provide the license plate number and location of the vehicle that needs to be moved to the operator.

Inform the insurance company that there has been an accident with the other car, and the insurance company will then notify the owner to come and check the situation promptly.

Does the driving license need to be renewed?

The driving license needs to be renewed because it has a validity period. For example, for a C1 license, it must be renewed after the initial 6-year period. The renewed license may have a longer validity period, such as 10 years if no more than 12 penalty points were accumulated within the first 6 years. If 12 penalty points were accumulated during this period, the renewed license will still have a 6-year validity period. Below is related information: Documents required for driving license renewal: The driver must prepare the original ID card, original and photocopy of the driving license, original insurance card, and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment. Check online for any traffic violations; if there are unresolved violations, they must be settled before renewal. Apply for renewal at the local traffic police station. Insurance considerations for license renewal: For insured motor vehicles, if an accident covered by the insurance policy occurs, the policyholder must present the "Motor Vehicle Driving License," and it must be valid (i.e., the vehicle has passed annual inspections), for the insurance company to process the claim. Without a valid driving license, even within the insurance coverage period, the claim will be rejected. Additionally, note that for new vehicles, even if insurance is purchased at the same time, some insurance items only take effect from the date of vehicle registration and issuance of the "Motor Vehicle Driving License."

Can the owner be absent during the annual vehicle inspection?

For the annual vehicle inspection, the owner can authorize someone else to handle the procedures on their behalf. The proxy registration requires the agent's identity proof and an original written power of attorney from the vehicle owner with legal validity. The vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection period. Below are the consequences of not undergoing the inspection on time: Insurance non-payment: If an accident occurs when the insured vehicle has not been inspected as required or fails the inspection, or if the insured vehicle lacks other valid driving documents, the insurer will not bear the compensation liability. If a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection on time is lost, the insurance company can also refuse to compensate. Therefore, once the owner fails to complete the annual inspection, any subsequent traffic accidents will not be covered by insurance. Inspection deadlines: If the vehicle fails to obtain the inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period, it will be forcibly scrapped. For ordinary private cars, the first six years do not require on-site testing; only an inspection mark application is needed every two years. From the 7th to the 15th year, an annual inspection is required, and after 15 years, a semi-annual inspection is necessary. If the owner fails to undergo the inspection for three consecutive cycles, not only will the vehicle be scrapped, but the owner will also face fines and revocation of their driver's license.
