Car deposits are non-refundable. Below is relevant information about car deposits: 1. Definition: According to China's current legal provisions, a deposit does not possess the nature of earnest money. It is merely a unilateral act without obvious guarantee characteristics. If the party paying the deposit claims earnest money rights, the People's Court will not support it. Generally, paying a deposit is regarded as paying an advance payment. When either party fails to fulfill contractual obligations, there are no consequences of forfeiture or double refund of the advance payment. The deposit can only be used as compensation for damages. 2. Difference from earnest money: Earnest money is a standardized legal concept, voluntarily agreed upon by contracting parties as a form of guarantee to ensure contract performance. As a guarantee for contract performance, the Guarantee Law stipulates that the guarantee contract (i.e., the earnest money clause) is an ancillary contract to the main contract. If the main contract is invalid, the earnest money clause is also invalid.

Does the Sylphy have a particulate filter?

The Sylphy includes the classic model and the 14th generation model. The HR16-1.6L engine of the 14th generation did not initially have a particulate filter when it was first launched, but starting from the 2021 model, it has been equipped with a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Sylphy is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and the to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a 'particulate filter' warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

Then press SET to move to other tires, bring it close to other sensors one by one, and proceed with debugging. Tire pressure monitor gauges are generally divided into three types: analog tire pressure gauges, digital tire pressure gauges, and alarm-type tire pressure gauges. The latter two can display tire pressure through numerical values or alarms, with relatively simple principles. The most commonly seen in daily use is the analog tire pressure gauge, which can check the car's tire pressure by connecting it to the tire's valve stem and then reading the pointer on the gauge head to understand the tire pressure.
