Generally, when a new car leaves the factory, the fuel tank is filled with 30-50 units of fuel. When the vehicle runs low on fuel, it is essential to refuel at a certified gas station. Waiting until the tank is completely empty before refueling can be very harmful to the fuel pump. Precautions When Purchasing a New Car: You need to pay the purchase tax, and after payment, the driver will receive a purchase tax payment certificate. When registering the vehicle, you must bring this certificate to complete the registration; otherwise, registration will not be possible. Precautions When Registering a New Car: You need to bring your ID card, vehicle certification, purchase tax payment certificate, insurance policy, and purchase invoice to the DMV for registration. After the DMV staff inspect the vehicle, the driver can proceed to select a license plate number and complete the registration. Fuel-Saving Tips During the New Car Break-In Period: The car body should not be overloaded during the break-in period. The lighter the car, the better, as excessive load can damage the vehicle. Avoid high engine RPMs; generally, keep it below 3000 RPM for manual transmissions and 3500 RPM for automatic transmissions. Do not maintain a single gear for too long or drive at low speeds for extended periods. Gradually increase the speed as needed. Precautions When Changing Oil in a New Car: The amount of oil added should be appropriate, as indicated by the dipstick. After adding oil, start the engine and check for any leaks. Run the engine for 3 minutes and recheck the oil level. Ensure the oil level is within the normal range, there are no leaks, reset the maintenance light, and the oil change is complete.

Which Party Usually Reports to the Insurance Company in Case of an Accident?

In case of an accident, it is generally the vehicle owner who reports to the insurance company. For a single-vehicle accident, such as hitting a wall, utility pole, or curb, simply take photos as evidence and call the insurance company to file a report on the spot. If the accident is more severe, you can confirm with the insurance company whether it is necessary to call the police for verification, primarily to endorse the authenticity of the accident. Steps to handle an accident: 1. Stop the vehicle: After a traffic accident, if the damages are minor, both parties can choose to negotiate a private settlement for quick resolution. If negotiation fails, call the police immediately. Whether settling privately or reporting to the police, the first action after an accident should always be to stop driving, secure the scene, and if possible, take photos to preserve evidence. 2. Report to the police: During the on-site recording by traffic police, always provide truthful statements and evidence. For any property damage caused by the accident, ensure it is documented in the accident report to facilitate later claims for damages.

What to Do If Your ETC Is Scraped When Exiting the Highway?

If your ETC is scraped when exiting the highway, the toll will not be overcharged. You only need to contact the toll station staff and use the manual lane. As for the vehicle that evaded the toll, it will be investigated and penalized based on surveillance and other evidence. Below is some relevant information about ETC: 1. Definition of ETC: The Chinese translation is electronic toll collection, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It uses dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. This system leverages computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. 2. Technical Principle: The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. It employs computer networks to process toll data, achieving a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or toll booths.

Do new energy vehicles require purchase tax?

Purchasing new energy vehicles does not require payment of purchase tax. 1. Legal provisions: For users of new energy vehicles, the most concerning issue is naturally whether new energy vehicles are subject to purchase tax. Upon careful reading of the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China," no relevant provisions were found. 2. Policy provisions: Referring to the "Announcement on Exempting New Energy Vehicles from Vehicle Purchase Tax" jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Ministry of Science and Technology in 2017, the first article clearly states, "From January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, new energy vehicles purchased are exempt from vehicle purchase tax." This means that as long as the new energy vehicle is included in the "Catalog of New Energy Vehicle Models Exempt from Vehicle Purchase Tax" (almost all domestic and joint venture brand new energy models on the market are included in this catalog), no purchase tax will be levied before 2021. Even if it were to be imposed, the earliest would be after 2021.

Where is the best place to put a power bank in the car?

Here are some suggestions on where to place a power bank in the car: 1. Place the power bank in a cool area of the car: Avoid direct sunlight. The power bank can be placed in the glove compartment. The lithium battery in the power bank is sensitive to heat. Generally, it should not be stored in environments above 40°C, and it is best stored below 30°C. If the outside temperature is 36°C, the temperature inside the car can easily reach 50°C after a day in the sun. Keeping lithium batteries in such conditions is not advisable and can pose safety risks. 2. The charging port and discharging port of a power bank are usually separate: The charging port is typically a Micro-USB, while the discharging port mimics the output port of a phone charger (large USB).
