It is normal for a new car's hood to lack protective film. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Reason: The protective film on a new car's hood is typically removed by the dealership, as vehicles are washed before delivery. 2. Precautions: Verify the displacement, manufacturing date, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and engine number. Then inspect the exterior for any flaws in the paint, tires, headlights, taillights, etc. Enter the driver's cabin to check if the seats are intact and defect-free, and ensure the floor is clean with proper sealing. Test door handles for smooth, secure, and reliable operation when opening/closing, and examine window/door seals for damage.

Use Fog Lights or Hazard Lights in Rain?

Whether to use fog lights or hazard lights in rain depends on different situations: 1. When visibility is less than 200 meters, turn on fog lights, keep the speed below 60 km/h, and maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle ahead; 2. When visibility is less than 100 meters, turn on both fog lights and hazard lights, keep the speed below 40 km/h, and maintain a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle ahead. Fog lights are installed at the front and rear of the car. Because visibility is low in foggy conditions and the driver's line of sight is limited, the lights can increase the running distance, especially the strong penetration of yellow fog lights, which can improve the visibility of the driver and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. Hazard lights are a signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that this vehicle is experiencing a special situation.

How many stickers should be affixed to a new car?

A new car requires two stickers: an annual inspection sticker and a compulsory traffic insurance sticker. Although the environmental protection sticker has been abolished, it is still necessary to submit the exhaust emission test report to the traffic management department. Therefore, the exhaust emission test must still be conducted and passed before the traffic management department issues the safety technical inspection certificate. The annual inspection sticker is an oval-shaped label with the character 'inspection' on the front, and the bottom of the character indicates the year of the next vehicle inspection. The compulsory traffic insurance sticker is a nationally standardized document and label for motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance. Both stickers should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield on the passenger side, making it convenient for both the driver and traffic police to check. Failure to display a valid vehicle inspection sticker may result in penalties.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of PDK transmission?

The advantages of PDK transmission include high transmission efficiency, fast gear shifting, low production cost, compact size, and low fuel consumption, etc. The disadvantages are low-speed jerkiness and relatively poor reliability. Essentially, PDK transmission is a type of dual-clutch transmission. Below is a related introduction to dual-clutch transmissions: Meaning of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The full English name of dual-clutch transmission is Dual-Clutch-Transmission, abbreviated as DCT. Simply put, it involves two sets of clutches working simultaneously, with one set managing odd-numbered gears and the other managing even-numbered gears. This design aims to avoid the power interruption issue during gear shifting in traditional manual transmissions, achieving the goal of rapid gear shifting. Dual-clutch transmissions have different names among manufacturers: Volkswagen calls it DSG, Audi calls it S-tronic, Porsche calls it PDK, Ford calls it Powershift, etc. Types of Dual-Clutch Transmission: Dual-clutch transmissions mainly include dry dual-clutch transmissions and wet dual-clutch transmissions. In fact, whether dry or wet, the working principles of dual-clutch transmissions are largely the same. The internal working principle involves two clutches alternately switching gears, with the difference lying in the medium used to transfer power between the driving and driven discs. Dry dual-clutch transmissions use air for transmission, while wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil.
