I have a deep understanding of Geely Auto. It is a completely independent Chinese domestic brand, rooted in the local market, unlike Volkswagen or Toyota, which operate under Sino-foreign joint venture business models. I remember test-driving the Geely Xingyue L last year, and its driving feel and technological features left a deep impression on me, fully aligning with the progress trajectory of domestic cars. Geely has enhanced its technology through acquisitions of international brands like Volvo, but its own products are still purely domestically manufactured, not relying on foreign licensed production. This is a milestone for China's automotive industry, and its electric vehicle strategy is also very strong. Ordinary users choosing Geely can enjoy high cost-performance and safety features.

What is the correct way to affix temporary license plates?

Temporary license plates should be affixed in the following two ways: 1. If there is only one temporary license plate, it should be placed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view. 2. If there are two temporary license plates, one should be affixed to the front windshield, and the other should be placed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the second temporary license plate should be carried in the vehicle. Below is additional information about temporary license plates: 1. There are two types of temporary license plates: one has a sky-blue background with black characters and black borders, which is only valid for driving within the city (local temporary license plate); the other has a brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders, which allows for driving across cities (non-local temporary license plate). 2. Before the official license plate is issued, only the temporary license plate should be used. Once the official license plate has been issued, even if the temporary license plate is still within its validity period, it cannot be used further. If discovered by traffic police, corresponding penalties will be imposed.

What is the difference between 2WD and 4WD?

2WD stands for two-wheel drive, while 4WD stands for four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive system (4WD system) changes the engine's driving force from the two-wheel drive of the 2WD system to four-wheel drive. 2WD uses low-ratio transmission to help the vehicle overcome slipping in mud and snow. The differences between the two are as follows: 1. The number of wheels to which the transmission system delivers the engine's power simultaneously is different. (1) 2WD: The transmission system delivers the engine's power to 2 wheels simultaneously. (2) 4WD: The transmission system delivers the engine's power to 4 wheels simultaneously. 2. Safety performance is different. (1) 2WD: The safety performance of 2WD is weaker than that of 4WD. (2) 4WD: 4WD is an active safety system, and its safety performance is stronger than that of 2WD. 3. Off-road performance is different. (1) 2WD: 2WD has no off-road capability. (2) 4WD: 4WD has off-road capability.

How Many Kilometers Can a Van Run Before Scrapping?

Non-commercial small passenger vehicles have no usage age limit or mileage restrictions, and can continue to be used as long as they pass annual inspections. Small taxi passenger vehicles are guided to be scrapped after reaching 600,000 kilometers, while medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles are guided to be scrapped after reaching 500,000 kilometers. Other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles are guided to be scrapped after reaching 600,000 kilometers, and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles are guided to be scrapped after reaching 500,000 kilometers. Below is more information on motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years, and once a year after exceeding 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once a year.

What is the N gear in a car?

The N gear in a car is the neutral position for automatic transmissions. When the vehicle is stopped for an extended period, it is advisable to shift into N gear. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal depressed. Below is an explanation of automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P gear: Parking gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into P gear. 2. R gear: Reverse gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, depress the brake pedal, press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into R gear, and after releasing the brake pedal, slowly press the accelerator to move the vehicle backward. 3. D gear: Drive gear. You can directly shift from N gear to D gear. This gear is generally used when the vehicle is moving forward, and the system will automatically shift up or down based on engine load and speed. 4. S gear: Sport gear. When used, the transmission will shift to a lower gear based on resistance changes, and the engine will operate at higher RPMs.

What Causes a Car Engine to Fail to Start?

The reasons why a car engine fails to start include the following: 1. Low temperature, which usually occurs in winter. In such conditions, the viscosity and rotation speed of the car's engine oil decrease, and the battery's ignition energy is reduced, making it difficult to form flammable gases and thus hard to start the engine. 2. Damaged or non-functional spark plugs. Spark plugs are a critical component of the car's ignition system, and the ignition system is key to whether the car's heart (engine) works or not. Therefore, whether the spark plugs can function properly directly affects the vehicle's performance and efficiency. 3. Dead battery. This could be due to reasons like leaving the headlights on for too long, resulting in a drained battery, or the battery's lifespan has expired. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. 4. Incorrect gear position. For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting. If it's in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the engine won't start. Some manual transmission cars may also fail to start if the clutch is not depressed.

Does idling with the AC on damage the car?

Idling with the AC on is a normal operating condition during vehicle use. Automobiles are designed and manufactured to account for various usage scenarios, so this practice does not cause significant harm but rather constitutes normal wear. However, there are several potential hazards of idling with the AC on: 1. Idling with the AC on produces more harmful exhaust emissions compared to driving with the AC on, as idling represents the most challenging engine operating condition where gasoline combustion is relatively incomplete, resulting in higher emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and other harmful gases. 2. If not properly managed, idling with the AC on can cause harm or even fatalities to vehicle occupants. There are two main risks: oxygen deprivation/asphyxiation and carbon monoxide poisoning. When idling with the AC on, always park in an open area and never remain in the vehicle for extended periods in enclosed spaces, as exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide can enter the cabin and easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
