It is not necessary to add fuel additive for new cars. The following are explanations for two scenarios: 1. If you have just picked up the car and have not performed the first maintenance, it is not necessary to add it yet, as this is the break-in period for the new car, and normal gasoline usage is required. 2. After the break-in period is completed and the first maintenance is done, fuel additive can then be added. Additional information: 1. Fuel additive is a common name for the third generation of gasoline cleaners. 2. Its purpose is to solve the carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to its optimal working condition, and compensate for some deficiencies in gasoline properties while imparting new beneficial characteristics to the fuel.

What is Fixed Speed Detection?

Fixed speed detection refers to traffic speed monitoring devices such as red light speed cameras and fixed speed cameras at speed limit signs, which are pre-installed on roadways. Conqueror has professional staff who collect GPS fixed data nationwide, continuously updating the database. Fixed camera points require updates and downloads from the server to achieve the most accurate fixed camera alert function. Speed detection locations: On national and provincial highways, if you see a speed limit sign, there may be a fixed speed detection point ahead. The specific location is "between 500 meters after the start of the speed limit sign and the cancellation of the speed limit sign or the next speed limit sign." This means fixed speed detection points are set more than 500 meters away from the speed limit sign, not immediately adjacent to it. Cases where no record is made: Generally, cameras will record the vehicle's speed, take photos based on the speed, and identify the vehicle's license plate number. As long as the speed is kept within the specified limit, even if photos are taken, no record will be made. Speed detection uses average speed measurement, with the following working principle: It calculates whether a vehicle is speeding based on "average speed," using a two-point capture mode.

Do I Need to Go in Person for Driver's License Renewal?

If you are unable to personally apply for the license renewal due to certain reasons or being in a different location, you can mail your ID card, driver's license, medical fitness certificate (physical examination) issued by a county-level or above medical institution, and three passport-sized photos to entrust family or friends to handle the renewal on your behalf. Below is more related information: Driver's License: A driver's license, fully known as the motor vehicle driver's license and also referred to as a 'driving license,' is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'certificate of permission.' The authorization to drive vehicles is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This shows that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be carried out by a specialized authority. Internationally, a driver's license is defined as: 'a document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle.'

Can Run-Flat Tires Be Used on Any Car?

Run-flat tires are not suitable for all vehicle models. The "stiff" nature of these tires reduces their inherent cushioning capability during driving, resulting in increased tire noise and a bumpier ride, significantly compromising comfort. Additionally, vehicles primarily designed for comfort typically have softer shock absorber settings. Installing run-flat tires without adjusting the shock absorbers may cause damage to them, potentially leading to suspension issues. Furthermore, run-flat tires are usually more expensive than standard highway tires of the same size, offering lower cost-effectiveness. Below is more related information: Advantages of run-flat tires: 1. Structurally, run-flat tires have thicker sidewalls compared to standard highway tires, providing sufficient support to continue driving even when the tire is under-inflated. 2. Thanks to their robust sidewalls, run-flat tires offer excellent lateral support during driving, reducing the degree of body roll when cornering. 3. The ability of run-flat tires to continue driving while under-inflated brings an additional benefit: eliminating the need for a spare tire, thereby saving trunk space and reducing vehicle weight.

How many days after applying the film can I roll down the windows?

After applying automotive window film, to avoid damaging the heat-insulating film, it is best not to operate the window glass up and down for 5-7 days. This is because the heat-insulating film needs some time to firmly adhere to the window. During this period, opening and closing the window glass can cause the edges of the newly applied film to curl, and the film that has not yet fully bonded may shift. After applying the heat-insulating film to the window glass, in addition to strictly avoiding opening the windows, there are a few other points to note: 1. Do not wash the car for 3 days. 2. Do not wipe the film surface with cloths containing chemical solvents. 3. Do not place heavy objects on the heat-insulating film surface or attach high-strength adhesives. 4. Avoid damaging the film surface with hard objects.

How to Coordinate the Clutch, Gearbox, and Accelerator?

The correct method for coordinating the clutch and accelerator involves the following steps: 1. Step One: During the starting phase, place the gear in neutral. After starting the engine, press the clutch pedal and shift the gear lever into first gear. Quickly lift the clutch pedal until the engine sound lowers (indicating the pressure plate and driven plate begin to engage), then slow down the release of the clutch pedal. 2. Step Two: As you slowly release the clutch pedal, feel the slight vibration and movement tendency of the vehicle. When the car shows slight vibration (indicating the clutch is semi-engaged) and begins to move, pause the clutch pedal briefly and simultaneously apply a small amount of throttle to prevent the engine from stalling. 3. Step Three: Continue to slowly lift the clutch pedal while gradually increasing the throttle with your right foot to ensure a smooth start. Once your left foot feels light, quickly and completely release the clutch pedal.
