It is safe to leave the car at the repair shop for 3 days, but you should remove valuables yourself. Below is more relevant information: 1. Designated Repair Shop Special Clause: Generally, the repair costs at a 4S shop are much higher than those at a regular repair shop. Therefore, many insurance companies, considering cost, often prefer customers to have their cars repaired at regular shops, while customers, for peace of mind, prefer 4S shops. Such conflicts frequently occur between insurance companies and policyholders during the vehicle damage claim process. To resolve this issue, following applications by insurance companies, the Insurance Regulatory Commission issued approvals, agreeing that six insurance companies, including Pacific Property Insurance and PICC Auto Insurance, could use the 'Designated Repair Shop Special Clause' and corresponding rates, thus resolving the conflict between high-end car owners who are willing to pay higher premiums for 4S shop repairs and the insurance companies. 2. When repairing your car at a repair shop, pay attention to the following points: (1) Oil Change: The amount of oil needed for a car is usually between 4 to 5 liters, often leaving you in the awkward situation where one bottle isn't enough, but two bottles are too much. (2) Mechanical Aspects: The quality of mechanical parts, whether they are refurbished, is something you can hardly discern. (3) Brakes: When you notice a decrease in braking power, they might directly suggest replacing the brake pads or discs. In reality, simply cleaning with a detergent and changing the brake fluid might suffice.

How to Deal with Fogging on the Inside of the Windshield in Summer?

Methods to handle fogging on the inside of the windshield in summer: 1. For manual air conditioning, turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the AC switch, and then adjust the temperature to the lowest setting; 2. Some car models are equipped with rear window electric heating and external rearview mirrors—simply press the switch to activate them, and the fog will clear in about a minute; 3. For automatic air conditioning, usually just press the one-touch defrost button, after which the fan speed will automatically increase to maximum and the external circulation will activate; 4. Turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air toward the windshield, utilizing the dehumidification function. You can slightly open a window to quickly reduce humidity inside the cabin, which, when combined with the air conditioning, will yield faster results.

How many hours does it take to drive 500 kilometers?

500 kilometers driving time, taking a vehicle driving at 100 kilometers per hour on the highway as an example, it would take 5 hours to drive 500 kilometers; if driving on urban roads, where the vehicle speed mostly maintains between 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, it would take approximately 12 hours to drive 500 kilometers. The time required for a car trip is greatly related to the vehicle speed and road conditions. On highways, the vehicle speed maintains between 60 to 120 kilometers per hour, with good road conditions; on urban roads, the vehicle speed is slower, and the road conditions are more complex, so the vehicle speed on highways is much faster than on urban roads.

What does TRC mean?

trc refers to the Traction Control System, which prevents the drive wheels from spinning when the vehicle is driving on slippery surfaces such as snow, enabling smooth starting and acceleration, and supporting the basic functions of vehicle operation. The role of TRC: It can effectively enhance the driving stability of the vehicle. When the vehicle is skidding, models equipped with a traction control system will not experience skidding issues, thereby improving the vehicle's climbing ability and acceleration performance. The traction control system adjusts accordingly based on the computer's feedback from the wheels, providing the vehicle with greater traction. The mechanical structure of the TRC Traction Control System prevents the drive wheels from spinning when the vehicle is driving on slippery surfaces such as snow, enabling smooth starting and acceleration, and supporting the basic functions of vehicle operation. Traction control systems by different brands: Different brands have different names for the traction control system. For example, Mercedes-Benz calls it ASR, Bosch calls it ESP, Toyota calls it TRC, and Cadillac calls it TCS. Although the names vary by brand, the principles and functions are the same. The traction control system allows the vehicle to start or accelerate smoothly on poor road surfaces, ensuring a smooth acceleration performance.

Is it okay for a sedan to carry a load of 1000 jin?

A sedan carrying a load of 1000 jin is problematic. It can shorten the car's lifespan, accelerate the aging of components, increase tire wear and deformation, hasten engine damage, make steering heavier, increase centrifugal force, affect the car's handling performance, reduce braking performance, extend the non-safety zone distance, shorten the lifespan of spring steel plates, and decrease the vehicle's passing capability. Especially for new cars that haven't passed the break-in period, it is recommended that the maximum load should not exceed 70% of the capacity. A load of 1000 jin is close to or exceeds the maximum load capacity of most sedans. Driving under such high load can easily cause excessive engine load, severe mechanical wear, insufficient power on slopes, unstable high-speed driving, and increase the risk of traffic accidents.

What is the technique to permanently disable auto start-stop?

The technique to permanently disable auto start-stop is: 1. Start the car after exposing it to direct sunlight, ensuring the temperature exceeds 35 degrees; 2. Open the auto start-stop deactivation interface, and you'll notice it's already turned off; 3. Manually press and hold the auto start-stop deactivation icon until the small yellow bar disappears (indicating activation), then release; 4. After a few seconds, the small yellow bar reappears (meaning it auto-deactivates again), and that's it. Even when the temperature drops, the auto start-stop remains disabled, and it stays off during cold starts the next day. The auto start-stop system temporarily shuts off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, while maintaining lubrication by continuously circulating oil within the engine.

Can You Drive Without Carrying Your Driver's License?

You cannot drive without carrying your driver's license. Forgetting to bring your license is not considered driving without a license. If you have a photo of your license or can provide your ID information to verify your driver's license number, it may help. If you forget to bring your driver's license while driving, it is only considered "not carrying the license" and not "driving without a license." The traffic police will not detain you but may temporarily impound your vehicle. Regardless of whether the driver has committed any traffic violations, they are not allowed to continue driving. The traffic management department of the public security authority must impound the vehicle and request the driver to provide their license. Depending on the situation, the following actions will be taken: 1. If the driver provides their license and has no other violations, they will receive a warning or a fine, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 2. If the driver provides their license but has committed other violations, they will be penalized according to the violations and for not carrying the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. 3. If the driver fails to provide their license, they will be penalized for driving without a license.
