Whether new car insurance must be purchased at a 4S dealership depends on the situation. For cars purchased with consumer loans at a 4S dealership, if the bank or financial institution has mandatory requirements, you must purchase the specified insurance when picking up and registering the vehicle. The following are considerations when purchasing insurance: Choosing an insurance company: If you choose to purchase car insurance yourself, the first step is to find a suitable insurance company. Be cautious when selecting small insurance companies, especially those that are not well-known. This is because claims settlement can be difficult and troublesome with such companies, and their limited nationwide service networks may cause car owners to waste a lot of time on procedures. Selecting insurance items: When insuring a new car, choosing the right items is crucial. The first item to purchase is vehicle damage insurance, which offers high cost-effectiveness and covers minor scratches and collisions. Next is third-party liability insurance, which serves as an excellent supplement to compulsory traffic insurance. It costs slightly more but provides significantly higher coverage. Additionally, if you don’t have a garage or a fixed parking space, theft insurance is necessary. Other additional insurances can be selected based on your needs. Points to note regarding purchasing methods: Currently, the more common methods for purchasing car insurance are phone-based and online insurance. Both are much cheaper than traditional car insurance and are very convenient, allowing you to handle vehicle insurance without leaving your home. You can also call the official PICC hotline for consultation.

What to Do If Brakes Fail on a Downhill Road?

When a car experiences brake failure on a downhill road, the specific steps are as follows: 1. Control the driving direction, shift to a low gear, and pull the handbrake: First, stay calm in case of brake failure, press the brake pedal several times to see if the brake fluid pressure can be restored, control the driving direction, and pull the handbrake. Be careful not to pull the handbrake too abruptly during the process. 2. Use external forces to stop the vehicle: Utilize obstacles such as nearby flower beds, tree trunks, or the mountain side and walls along the road to stop the vehicle. 3.

Reasons for Engine Yellow Warning Light and Insufficient Power

Engine yellow warning light indicates a malfunction in the car's engine. Here are specific explanations regarding engine faults: 1. Engine misfire: When the engine misfires, the engine warning light will illuminate. Engine misfire can lead to insufficient vehicle power, weak acceleration, and abnormal body vibrations, requiring prompt inspection at an auto repair shop. 2. Severe engine carbon buildup: Severe carbon buildup in the engine is a primary cause of the engine warning light and reduced vehicle power, as it affects normal fuel combustion. 3. Engine overheating: After prolonged overload operation, the car will reduce power for self-protection. In this case, simply wait for the engine temperature to drop to the standard range. 4. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality fuel or mixing different types of fuel can trigger the engine yellow warning light and insufficient power. It's necessary to promptly clean the fuel tank and refill with high-quality fuel.

How to deal with a missing piece on the tire sidewall?

Regarding the specific handling methods for a missing piece on the tire sidewall: 1. If a piece of rubber is scraped off the sidewall of a car tire, it can be repaired using a special steel plug for the tire sidewall: The advantage of using a mushroom plug repair is that it can both restore the airtight layer and tightly fill the perforation in the tire body, ensuring a more durable repair effect. 2. Some small sidewall damages have repair value: Small perforations will not break the cords in the fabric layer, and the tire can still be used after repair. 3. If the piece of rubber scraped off is on the tire tread and has not reached the wear indicator, no treatment is needed: The tire wear indicator is located at the bottom of the grooves on the tire's surface. Tires are made of rubber material, which will age and wear. If the tire wears down to the wear indicator, it needs to be replaced.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Wrangler?

The normal tire pressure for a Wrangler ranges between 2.4 and 2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. The Wrangler's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the central console display. There is a vehicle information button at the lower left of the central console. Pressing it will bring up options on the screen. Select the tire pressure monitoring option to view the tire pressure data. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. The tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. The tire pressure sensor is damaged. The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is installed directly inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.

How to Use Paddle Shifters on the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel paddle shifters usage is detailed as follows: 1. Paddle shifters are generally located behind the steering wheel: When operating the paddle shifters, the driver only needs to shift the gear into D, S, or manual mode. Using the paddle shifters, the driver can complete gear shifting operations without taking hands off the steering wheel. 2. Since paddle shifters are positioned on the rear side of the steering wheel, shifting gears is very convenient and efficient: Paddle shifter devices are widely used in many rally races, circuit races, and even F1 events. 3. Precautions for using steering wheel paddle shifters: (1) Automatic transmission vehicles equipped with paddle shifters are actually semi-automatic vehicles, as the function of paddle shifters is to shift gears up and down. (2) Although the vehicle is in manual mode, the essence of the transmission is still an automatic transmission. Human control can never match the precise shifting timing controlled by a computer.
