Car deposits are non-refundable. Below is relevant information about car deposits: Definition: According to the relevant provisions of China's current laws, 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, payment of a deposit is regarded as payment of an advance. When either party delivering or receiving the deposit fails to fulfill contractual obligations, there are no consequences of forfeiture or double refund of the advance payment. The deposit can only be treated as compensation for damages. Difference from earnest money: Earnest money is a standardized legal concept, representing a voluntary guarantee form agreed upon by contracting parties to ensure contract performance. As a form of contract performance guarantee, the Guarantee Law stipulates that guarantee contracts (i.e., earnest money clauses) are ancillary contracts to the main contract. If the main contract is invalid, the earnest money clause becomes void.

What does FWD mean on a car?

FWD: Front-Wheel Drive. Detailed introduction is as follows: 1. Characteristics: The power output from the engine passes through the transmission to the two front half-shafts and then to the two front wheels. The two front wheels are the driving wheels, while the two rear wheels are the following wheels. 2. Advantages: Lower design and manufacturing costs, a driving method currently used by most manufacturers (mostly used in vehicles with a displacement below 3.0), but the driving pleasure is inferior to that of rear-wheel-drive vehicles. 3. Disadvantages: If the speed is slightly too high when entering a curve, the car will immediately rush towards the far-side guardrail. This is a common operational performance issue with FWD, requiring electronic aids to control the vehicle's state.

Is ETC tied to the license plate or the vehicle?

Due to the 'one vehicle, one card, one tag' principle of ETC application, a license plate number can only correspond to one set of ETC onboard equipment. Therefore, license plates that have already been registered and issued with ETC in the system cannot apply again, as the ETC card follows the one vehicle, one card, one tag rule. Relevant information about ETC is as follows: 1. Introduction: ETC is an electronic toll collection system for highways or bridges that enables automatic payment without stopping. 2. Working Principle: The working principle of ETC involves dedicated short-range communication between the onboard ETC electronic tag installed on the vehicle and the ETC microwave antenna on the toll station lane. It utilizes computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with banks, achieving the goal of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the fees.

What does it mean when the ETC light turns green?

It is normal for the ETC sensor to flash green when the car is started, indicating that the sensor is detecting. Many highways have ETC gantries installed. The sudden beeping and flashing green light of the in-car ETC card is due to these gantries. Their function is to read the corresponding vehicle information when a vehicle equipped with an ETC electronic tag passes by, and then use computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with the bank. Relevant information about ETC is as follows: 1. Introduction: ETC is an electronic toll collection system for highways or bridges that allows for automatic payment without stopping. 2. Working Principle: The working principle of ETC involves dedicated short-range communication between the on-board ETC electronic tag installed on the vehicle and the ETC microwave antenna on the toll station lane.

Why Does a Car Start Automatically for No Reason?

There may be several reasons for a car starting without cause: 1. Electrical circuit failure: This could be due to a low-voltage power interruption during driving, causing the engine to stall. In this case, it's advisable to primarily inspect the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. 2. Electrical component failure: This issue often involves the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially, stall after a while, then start again, only to stall once more. 3. Fuel system failure: Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. Under these circumstances, the car might restart, but with great difficulty. 4. Sensor failure: Malfunctions in sensors such as the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can also lead to stalling issues if they fail.
