It is necessary to report to insurance if the front bumper is cracked. More information about bumpers is as follows: 1. Introduction: The front and rear ends of a car are equipped with bumpers, which not only have decorative functions but also serve as safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the car body and the safety of passengers. 2. Structural composition: The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin plates with a thickness of about 1.5 mm into a U-shaped groove. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, and the crossbeam is connected to the longitudinal beams of the car frame with screws, allowing it to be disassembled at any time. The plastic used for these bumpers is mainly polyester-based and polypropylene-based materials, manufactured using injection molding methods.

How long can the license plate be retained after a vehicle is scrapped?

After a vehicle is scrapped, if its license plate has been used on the original vehicle for more than one year, it can be retained for two years. This means the original plate number can be used for vehicle registration within one year. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles, allowing people to determine the vehicle's region of registration and access details about the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the plate number.

Are Coolant and Antifreeze the Same Thing?

Coolant and antifreeze are not the same thing. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. As the name suggests, it has two main functions: first, antifreeze, and second, cooling. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used year-round. Coolant consists of three components: water, antifreeze agents, and additives. Depending on the type of antifreeze agent, coolant can be classified into alcohol-based, glycerol-based, ethylene glycol-based, and other types.

What does it mean when the auto start-stop indicator turns yellow?

When the auto start-stop indicator turns yellow, it indicates that the function is turned off. If it's green, it means the function is normally activated and working. Auto start-stop, or engine auto start-stop, is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal to stop and shift to neutral. At this point, the start-stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling and not in gear, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates there's enough energy for the next start. When these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops rotating.

Is Higher Octane Gasoline Always Better?

Higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better. The octane rating of gasoline is not related to the purity or quality of the fuel. The octane rating indicates the gasoline's resistance to knocking, meaning that higher octane gasoline burns more slowly and is less prone to premature ignition, making it more suitable for engines with higher compression ratios. Conversely, engines with lower compression ratios require lower octane fuel. When choosing gasoline, drivers should not simply opt for the highest octane available but should instead follow the recommended octane rating specified in their vehicle's manual and consider the engine's compression ratio. For example, if a car designed to use 92-octane gasoline is filled with 95-octane fuel, the higher anti-knock properties of the 95-octane fuel will not be fully utilized. This can lead to "delayed combustion," where the fuel does not reach its auto-ignition point by the time the engine compresses it, resulting in incomplete combustion, increased pollution, and fuel wastage.

What Type of Fire Extinguisher Should Be Used for Vehicle Fires?

For vehicle fires, it is recommended to use dry powder fire extinguishers and water-based fire extinguishers. Dry powder fire extinguishers are fast and effective, with a wide range of applications. Water-based fire extinguishers primarily contain RO purified water, featuring advantages such as no dust, anti-suffocation, excellent fire suppression effects, and being non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers are specifically designed for car fires and include two main types: non-storage pressure suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire suppression devices for vehicles, and miniature storage pressure suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire suppression devices for vehicles. Currently, most fire extinguishers used for automotive fire protection are portable types. The main types of vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers available on the market include dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers.
