It is mandatory to keep the vehicle license in the car. The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits the vehicle to drive on roads within China. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. Additional relevant information is as follows: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" stipulates: "Vehicles must pass the inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are allowed to drive." Therefore, possessing the "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without carrying the vehicle license is considered a violation of the law, whether it is due to not having obtained the "Motor Vehicle License" or simply forgetting to bring it.

How to Align the Timing Belt on Dongfeng Peugeot 408?

First, remove the timing belt of the Peugeot 408. Then, align the marks on the two large gears at the outer end of the camshaft. There is a mark at the twelve o'clock position. After alignment, there is a scale on the plastic housing at the crankshaft end below. Rotate the crankshaft to align it with the zero scale. Once the timing is aligned, reinstall the belt. Below is more information about the timing belt: 1. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing with a specific transmission ratio. Clearly, the belt's lifespan is shorter than that of metal gears, so it must be replaced regularly. Belts are used instead of gears for transmission because they produce less noise, have minimal self-variation, and are easier to compensate. 2. Different vehicle models have different methods for aligning the timing belt. Generally, there are marks on the camshaft gear disk and crankshaft gear disk that need to be aligned. However, it is recommended to refer to the vehicle's repair manual for specific alignment methods. 3. The timing belt connects the camshaft and crankshaft, controlling the opening and closing of valves and the rotation of the crankshaft and the up-and-down movement of pistons. If the timing belt is not aligned correctly, it can lead to incorrect valve timing and piston movement. Minor misalignment may cause insufficient power and vehicle shaking, while severe misalignment can result in valves and pistons colliding, damaging both components. In such cases, the engine will fail to operate and require major repairs.

How to Repair a Flood-Damaged Car?

If the flooding is recent and not severe, simply remove the water from the vehicle and dry out the interior items. If the car has been severely flooded, you should file an insurance claim and have the insurance company assess the damage before taking it to a repair shop for restoration. Repair shops typically handle flood-damaged cars by replacing all damaged components, thoroughly cleaning out water and debris from the interior, and restoring the car to normal driving condition. Flood-damaged vehicles require an electrical system inspection—if the circuits are functioning properly, the car can be started normally. Flood-damaged cars are categorized into three levels based on the severity of the damage: 1. Water depth exceeds the wheels and enters the cabin; 2. Water depth exceeds the dashboard; 3. Water submerges the roof. The first category poses relatively minor risks, and repaired cars have little impact on daily use. However, vehicles in the latter two categories, where water has surpassed the center console or completely submerged the car, remain a ticking time bomb even after repairs.

Where is the OBD interface located in the Civic?

Honda Civic's OBD interface is located in the driver's footwell, concealed beneath the dashboard near the right side of the accelerator pedal. Below is relevant information: OBD introduction: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When the system detects a fault, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module will store the fault information in memory. The fault code can be retrieved through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can assist in vehicle maintenance and repairs. Technicians can use the manufacturer's specialized equipment to read the fault codes, enabling rapid fault localization for efficient vehicle repairs and reducing manual diagnosis time.
