If the car is hit during the warranty period and the collision is minor without damaging the engine or transmission, the warranty remains valid. Below is an introduction to the car warranty: 1. Introduction: The car warranty period refers to the time frame during which the manufacturer provides free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues after selling the product to consumers. 2. Conditions: Most car manufacturers now implement a new vehicle warranty policy, 'two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.' This means there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of 2 years, and the other is a mileage limit of 60,000 kilometers. If either condition is met, the vehicle's warranty period is considered expired, and normal maintenance and repairs are no longer free. 3. Notes: Additionally, during the warranty period, not all repair costs are covered. It depends on the free items specified by the manufacturer. Usually, relevant details can be found in the owner's manual and the after-sales departments of car 4S stores.

What to Do When Driving License Points Reach Zero?

If a driving license accumulates zero points within one cycle, the holder must attend a seven-day training program at the local traffic management department of the public security authority. After completing the training, the driver must retake the subject one exam. Below are relevant details about driving license penalties: 1. Retaking the exam after failure: After accumulating 12 penalty points, drivers must undergo eight-hour daily training on road traffic safety regulations and related knowledge. The exam content is identical to that for new license applicants. Upon passing the subject one exam, the penalty points will be cleared, and the traffic authority will return the driving license. Those who fail must retake the training and exam. 2. Standardized driving: If a license accumulates 12 points for two consecutive cycles or 24 points in one cycle, the driver must retake both subject one and subject three exams. Traffic regulations are strictly enforced - any traffic violation by motor vehicle drivers will be penalized, with severe cases potentially resulting in license revocation. Therefore, standardized driving is essential.

Why does the windshield washer fluid not go down?

There are two possible reasons: first, there may be a lack of windshield washer fluid; second, the nozzle might be clogged. It is recommended to first check the windshield washer fluid reservoir. The functions of automotive windshield washer fluid include the following four points: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is composed of various surfactants and additives. Surfactants usually have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thus achieving the effect of cleaning and removing dirt; 2. Antifreeze performance: It can significantly reduce the freezing point of the liquid, thereby achieving an antifreeze effect and quickly dissolving frost; 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer is formed on the glass surface, which can prevent the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield is clear and transparent with a clear view; 4. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass surface, providing anti-static performance.

What Causes Vibration When Idling in D Gear?

The following are the reasons for vibration when idling in D gear: 1. High engine speed: When the engine speed is too high during cold start, the torque converter transmits more power, resulting in greater impact and more noticeable vibration when shifting gears. 2. Brake not fully engaged: When shifting gears, the engine's power is directly transmitted to the wheels. If the brake is not fully engaged, the wheels may move slightly, causing the vehicle to jerk forward with a strong vibration sensation. 3. Brake released too early: When the traffic light turns green, shifting into drive and releasing the brake to start can cause the vehicle to lurch forward violently if the brake is released too soon, leading to a sudden power combination. Since the automatic transmission gear lever does not directly control the gear position but acts as a signal device, different signals are sent to the transmission control system when different gears are engaged, and the transmission control system then completes the gear shift.
