In general, if the direct losses to your side in the accident only involve vehicle damage (no personal injuries or other direct property losses), in principle, the at-fault party is only responsible for compensating the cost of repairing your car, with no other compensations required (including transportation expenses or loss of income during the repair period). If your vehicle is severely damaged in the accident, making it impossible to restore to its original condition or affecting its original performance, and you believe you are entitled to claim depreciation losses, you need to have an authorized traffic accident property damage assessment institution conduct an appraisal and issue a certified value loss assessment report. Then, you can file a civil lawsuit against the other party through the court, and the court will ultimately determine the compensation liability of the at-fault party. The legal basis is stipulated in the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" as follows: Article 73: The traffic management department of the public security organ shall, based on the on-site inspection, investigation, and relevant test and appraisal conclusions of the traffic accident, promptly prepare a traffic accident certification document, which serves as evidence for handling the traffic accident. The traffic accident certification document shall specify the basic facts, causes, and responsibilities of the parties involved in the traffic accident and shall be delivered to the parties. Article 74: In case of disputes over compensation for traffic accident damages, the parties may request the traffic management department of the public security organ to mediate, or they may directly file a civil lawsuit with the People's Court. If the parties fail to reach an agreement through mediation by the traffic management department of the public security organ or if the mediation agreement is not fulfilled after it takes effect, the parties may file a civil lawsuit with the People's Court.

How to Deal with Clear Coat Scratches on Cars?

After being scratched, especially if the scratch reaches the primer, it is advisable to go to a repair shop for touch-up painting as soon as possible, and avoid exposing the car body to rain to prevent rust. It is recommended to keep a touch-up pen of the same color for minor scratches in inconspicuous areas. Although there might be some color difference, it saves a lot of expenses. For scratches, you can cleverly cover them with car stickers or decorative plates, which is both cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing. Many insurance companies now offer zero-deductible policies, which you may consider purchasing. This way, any scratches can be directly taken to the repair shop.

What Causes Severe Vibration When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in a Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle experiences severe vibration when the air conditioning is turned on due to a dirty throttle body and insufficient engine power. Insufficient engine power: When the engine power is low, high idle speed indicates that the compressor is working. When the compressor is not operating, the idle speed drops, and the steering wheel does not vibrate. When the air conditioning is turned on during normal driving, the increased load from the compressor causes the engine speed to decrease, resulting in noticeable vehicle vibration. To address this issue, manufacturers typically install an engine idle speed boost system for air conditioning. This system increases the engine speed to the required range when the air conditioning compressor is active. Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body affects engine performance. Turning on the air conditioning under these conditions further increases the engine idle load, leading to steering wheel vibration. Cleaning the throttle body can prevent this issue. The vibration caused by air conditioning use, based on current vehicle conditions, is likely due to a dirty throttle body. It is recommended to have it cleaned at a repair shop. According to current vehicle control technology and maintenance cases, this is a common issue. Throttle carbon buildup is primarily caused by the engine control unit's characteristics, as well as factors such as low temperatures, low-speed driving, short-distance trips, and frequent starts. The noise from the air conditioning system is normal compressor operation, and no other issues are likely present. The engine drives the air conditioning compressor to provide cooling, which is a heavy load for the engine. When the air conditioning is turned on, the engine must also power the compressor, leading to noticeable power loss and increased vibration. This effect is more pronounced at idle speed. Increasing the idle speed slightly may improve the situation, though it will result in higher fuel consumption.

Where is the Body Control Module Located in the Magotan?

The body control module of the Magotan is located under the hood, inside the engine compartment, at the upper left corner of the engine, next to the battery. The specific functions of the body control module are as follows: 1. Power Management: The BCM has power management capabilities, integrating the power supply of electrical equipment in the vehicle into the BCM, which saves wiring harnesses and facilitates later maintenance. 2. Light Control: When the BCM detects a short circuit to ground or excessive current in the small light circuit, it activates a protection function to prevent the vehicle's wiring harness from burning due to excessive current. 3. Wiper Control: The wiper circuit in a car is relatively complex. Using conventional control would require a large number of wiring harnesses, but with the BCM, wiring harnesses can be significantly saved, and additional wiper functions are added, such as manually adjusting the speed of the intermittent wiper setting. 4. Central Locking and Remote Control Reception: When the BCM detects that the vehicle speed increases from less than 10 KM/H to 10 KM/H and the door lock is in the unlocked state, it performs a locking operation. If the door lock is already locked, no action is taken. Additionally, after the remote sends a wireless signal to the BCM, it can control the door locks, such as locking, unlocking, opening the trunk, and locating the vehicle. 5. Vehicle Anti-Theft and Engine Immobilizer Control: When the vehicle's anti-theft system is successfully activated and the vehicle is illegally accessed, the horn will sound and the alarm lights will flash to alert the owner. With the engine immobilizer activated, even if someone duplicates the car key, they cannot drive the vehicle away. 6. Fault Mode Self-Diagnosis Control: When the BCM detects an internal fault, it activates its self-diagnosis function, displaying a fault indicator on the dashboard to remind the owner to perform maintenance. Additionally, specialized equipment can be used to read data from the BCM to assist in repairs.
