Different materials of car dashboards have varying degrees of resistance to sun exposure as follows: 1. Hard plastic material: Under sunlight, it easily produces refraction, which can affect the driver's vision. If exposed to the sun for a long time, high temperatures may cause the hard plastic material to release some harmful gases, which are not good for the human body, and may even lead to cracking and aging. 2. Plastic material: Prolonged exposure to the sun may cause cracking, as the thermal expansion and contraction coefficients of the inner and outer layers are inconsistent, leading to cracks over time. 3. Soft-touch material: Made of PC polyacetate, it can withstand high temperatures up to 130 degrees without deformation, so it is generally not a problem. The surface of soft-touch material is not very smooth, providing a certain tactile feel, and light will be diffusely reflected on it.

How to Identify the Production Year of Vehicle Glass?

To identify the production year of vehicle glass: The number represents the last digit of the production year. For example, a '9' on the glass indicates 2019. If small black dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7; if the dots are behind the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. The result gives the production month. Some glass may also have thick black dots after the production year and month, indicating the specific week of the month. For example, 5 dots represent the first week; 4 dots represent the second week; 3 dots represent the third week, and so on.

Why does the car still roll on a steep slope even when the handbrake is engaged?

The reasons why the car still rolls on a steep slope even when the handbrake is engaged are: 1. The handbrake is not fully engaged, and you just need to pull it to the specified position again; 2. If there is an issue with the handbrake's brake pads, you should immediately use the foot brake to assist in stopping the car. Once the vehicle is parked in a safe place, test the handbrake again. If it still doesn't work, it is recommended to go to a repair shop or 4S store for maintenance promptly. When the handbrake fails, it can be difficult for beginners or on steep slopes to start on a hill, which can easily lead to unsafe incidents. During daily driving, it is best to maintain a certain distance from other vehicles. If the car starts rolling backward, immediately take a series of remedial measures such as stepping on the foot brake and pulling the handbrake. In the case of long-term parking, remain vigilant and always remember to engage the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling.

What is the difference between 10w50 and 10w40?

The following are the specific differences between 10w40 and 10w50: 1. Different viscosity: The number after 'w' represents the high-temperature viscosity of the oil. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity. Therefore, 10w50 oil has higher viscosity. 2. Different usage periods: 10W40 is generally suitable for all seasons, while 10W50 is more suitable for large-displacement vehicles in summer. 3. Different sealing performance: 10W50 has better sealing performance. 4. Different fuel consumption: The higher the viscosity, the higher the fuel consumption. Therefore, a 10W50 engine consumes more fuel, while lower viscosity has the characteristic of saving fuel.

What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?

The differences between run-flat tires and regular tires are: 1. Different materials: Run-flat tires mainly add a thick layer of natural rubber with anti-solidification function and nano-renewable technology on the sidewall of the tire; regular tires are constructed from raw materials such as natural rubber and renewable energy rubber. 2. Different wear resistance: When a tire experiences a blowout, run-flat tires can continue to drive normally for a certain distance; regular tires cannot drive normally after losing air. Run-flat tires are also called air-maintaining tires, and the tire sidewall will have an RSC mark. There is no particularly big difference in structure between run-flat tires and regular tires, except that the sidewall of the tire is reinforced, which allows the tire to continue supporting the car in the event of air leakage or sudden loss of pressure.

Is the purchase tax paid when registering the license plate?

The purchase tax is paid before registering the license plate. Generally, it needs to be processed at the national tax bureau within 60 days after purchasing the car. Without completing the tax payment, the license plate cannot be registered. Below are the relevant regulations regarding vehicle license plate registration: 1. License plate registration process: You need to go to the vehicle management office to complete the registration, submit all required documents and pay the fees. The vehicle must also be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. Some vehicles that are exempt from inspection only require an external inspection, which typically involves checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can proceed to the vehicle management office hall to select a license plate. 2. Function of license plates: License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs and to trace the owner and registration information of the vehicle based on the license plate number.

What are the impacts of under-invoicing when buying a new car

The impacts of under-invoicing when buying a new car are as follows: 1. Lower resale value: If the invoice price of the car is low, when the owner wants to sell it, buyers will only refer to the price on the invoice, resulting in a lower resale price. 2. Difficulty in obtaining full compensation for theft or accidents: Theft and damage insurance are usually calculated based on the invoice price. If the car is stolen or involved in an accident, the owner may suffer losses and not be fully compensated. 3. Inadequate compensation from the manufacturer: When claiming compensation from the manufacturer for quality issues, it will be difficult to claim based on the actual purchase price, and only the invoice price can be used as the benchmark for compensation.
