Driving 20,000 kilometers per year with a family car falls within a relatively normal range. In daily driving, it is important to pay attention to vehicle maintenance. Cars generally require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to vehicle maintenance: Introduction to minor maintenance: Changing the engine oil and oil filter. Minor maintenance typically refers to the routine maintenance tasks performed at the intervals specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance. The interval depends on the effective duration or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods vary for different brands and grades of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Introduction to major maintenance: Changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and other routine maintenance tasks. Major maintenance refers to the procedures performed at the intervals specified by the manufacturer. Interval: Generally alternated with minor maintenance, the interval varies depending on the car brand.

Does Compulsory Traffic Insurance Cover Water-Damaged Vehicles?

Compulsory traffic insurance does not cover water-damaged vehicles because it is designed to compensate third-party vehicles and individuals. Vehicle damage can only be claimed if comprehensive auto insurance has been purchased. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state and is required for vehicles to legally operate on the road. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Traffic management departments of public security authorities shall detain motor vehicles, notify the parties to provide corresponding licenses, markings, or complete necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Premiums are based on nationally unified standards, but prices vary depending on the vehicle type, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a broader range, including losses caused intentionally by the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance provides compensation within the liability limits without deductibles or exemptions. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies: An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurer. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully document the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract, and it is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources by eliminating the need to print insurance proof marks; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information accessible online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance or resending, eliminating concerns about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Simplifies management, as electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage vehicle insurance information.

Are the Headlight and Low Beam the Same Light?

The headlight and low beam are not the same light. Below is relevant information about low beams and headlights: 1. Introduction: The low beam is a type of headlight. Headlights refer to the vehicle's high beams, low beams, and turn signals. Headlights are lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of a car, used for illuminating the road during nighttime driving. They can be categorized into two-light systems and four-light systems. The illumination effect of headlights directly affects nighttime driving operations and traffic safety. Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, with the requirement of a wide coverage area but a short illumination distance, and the focus cannot be adjusted. 2. Illumination Distance: The illumination distance of low beams is approximately 30-40 meters. Experiments have shown that when driving at 55 km/h at night, if a situation is detected and the brakes are applied immediately, the stopping distance is exactly 30 meters. This means that if a situation is detected within the range of the low beam and the vehicle stops immediately, there will be no gap between the vehicle and the object. Of course, this is under the condition that the vehicle, road conditions, and driver's reaction are all in good condition. If the speed is higher, or the vehicle and road conditions are poor, or the driver is fatigued with a longer reaction time, the result can be imagined.

What is the reason for abnormal rail pressure displayed on the dashboard?

Abnormal rail pressure on the dashboard indicates unstable engine rail pressure. Here is an introduction to abnormal engine rail pressure: 1. Rail pressure is too low: This may be due to poor fuel supply or damage to the high-pressure pump or metering unit, and it is usually accompanied by other faults. 2. Rail pressure is too high: Poor fuel return causes fuel from the high-pressure section to enter the rail, leading to pressure rising above 1700 bar, resulting in excessively high rail pressure. 3. Abnormal rail pressure: Poor fuel supply or the presence of air causes poor rail pressure follow-up, where the actual rail pressure is lower than the set value, resulting in abnormal rail pressure.

What Causes the Car to Make Strange Noises When Driving Over Bumps?

The causes of strange noises when the car is bumpy are as follows: 1. Lower control arm: The issue lies with the lower control arm, which needs replacement; 2. Shock absorber assembly: The shock absorber assembly is damaged and requires replacement; 3. Steering ball joint: The steering ball joint is faulty. The inspection method is to kick the tire and see if there is any abnormal noise; 4. Stabilizer bar bushing: The stabilizer bar bushing is damaged. After the bushing ages, it becomes increasingly hard, causing the left and right wheels to be at different heights when the vehicle passes over uneven roads, resulting in strange noises; 5. Engine guard: The issue is with the engine guard. The noise could be due to friction between the engine guard and the chassis, or it might be because the screws of the engine guard are loose. Removing the engine guard can solve the problem; 6. Shock absorber: The nut at the top of the shock absorber is loose. Open the engine hood, and you will find two hexagonal nuts at the top left and right corners. Check if they are loose and tighten them if necessary.
