It is not advisable to buy a car that has been in stock for 7 months. Stock car: refers to a car that has been in stock for more than 6 months without being sold. Effects of stock cars: paint damage, rubber aging, fluid deterioration and mechanical rust, battery aging. Identifying stock cars: The nameplate in the engine compartment will have the manufacturing year and month marked, and the time difference from now is the actual stock time of the car. The stock environment of stock cars can be judged by checking the rubber parts on the car. By observing the paint surface of the car, check if there are any scratches or dents on the body. Because stock cars are usually quite dirty, you can wash the car and inspect it carefully. Ultimately, it still depends on the vehicle itself. Choosing a stock car: check the appearance, mechanics, ground, tires, etc.

How often is the A2 driver's license reviewed?

A2 driver's license regulations stipulate an annual review. If there are no demerit points recorded within a year, the annual review is waived. However, if points are deducted, an annual review is required, and a medical examination certificate must be submitted for the review. The following are details about the annual review: 1. New regulations for motor vehicle driver's license review: The driver's license does not require an annual review; it should be renewed according to the new regulations upon expiration. 2. For driver's licenses valid for 6 years: The renewal and review processes have been delegated from the municipal vehicle management office to county (district, city) level vehicle management offices. For individuals driving with a license that has exceeded the review validity period, the public security traffic police department will not penalize them. However, for drivers who fail to renew their licenses for more than one year after expiration, their licenses will be revoked. 3. For drivers aged 60 and above: An annual physical examination is required, and the results must be submitted to the county-level vehicle management office after the scoring cycle (initial license issuance date). Failure to provide the examination results for over a year will result in the revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license.

Is the fuel consumption high for a newly purchased car?

Newly purchased cars generally have higher fuel consumption, which is common for almost every vehicle. When a car leaves the factory, due to machining precision of parts and assembly errors, it requires a certain mileage for running-in. During this break-in period, the car tends to consume more fuel, and you may feel a lack of power. Precautions for car break-in: Avoid overloading. During the break-in period, the load should not exceed 75% of the rated capacity. New cars should carry less than the specified weight and number of passengers, and overloading must be avoided. Do not drive at high speeds. There are speed limits for new cars during the break-in period. Generally, domestic cars should stay within 40~70 km/h, while imported cars should not exceed 100 km/h. Ensure the engine speed and vehicle speed operate at moderate levels. Typically, the engine speed during the break-in period should be between 2000~4000 rpm. Use high-quality gasoline. The gasoline used during the break-in period should not be of a lower grade than the manufacturer's specified standard. Do not add anti-wear additives, as this may result in insufficient break-in even after reaching the required mileage.

Does the Haval H6 hill descent assist need to be manually activated?

Yes, because the hill descent assist is turned off by default. Here are the details: 1. Usage scenario: On relatively steep slopes, you can use the hill descent assist, where the vehicle's computer automatically controls the speed. At this time, you don't need to press the brake or the accelerator. 2. Location: Below the driver's seat, there is a row of three or four buttons. One of them is for the hill descent assist, with an icon showing a car going downhill. Here is additional information: 1. Hill descent assist: The function of the hill descent assist is to reduce the burden on the driver. The downhill assist control system can automatically maintain the vehicle speed at an appropriate level. 2. Notes: When using the hill descent assist system, the four-wheel drive must be turned on. If the slope is short, use the brakes; for long slopes, it is recommended to use manual low gear. On unpaved roads, the hill descent assist system can be used. The main purpose of using hill descent assist is to prevent the vehicle from rolling too fast when descending steep slopes. By automatically matching the engine braking, it improves safety.
