I just replaced my old car with a new one in Shenzhen, and the overall process was quite smooth. First, I went to a car dealer or 4S store to discuss the replacement. They evaluated the value of my old car and gave me a quote. Then, they helped me handle the transfer procedures for the old car, including submitting documents like my ID card and the old car’s registration certificate to the DMV for the transfer. Next, I applied for a new car license plate quota. Shenzhen offers subsidies for new energy vehicles, which made it very convenient. Finally, I took the new car for an environmental inspection and registration to get the license plate. The whole process took about two weeks and wasn’t expensive. I recommend preparing all the necessary documents in advance to avoid delays. The replacement also saved me a lot of money—it was really cost-effective.

In Shenzhen, replacing your old car with a new one through a trade-in is quite straightforward. First, contact an authorized 4S dealership to evaluate your old car, which typically offers a deduction of several thousand yuan off the new car's price. Then, complete the transfer of your old car to a recycling center, requiring your ID and vehicle certificates. Next, apply online for a new car license plate quota—Shenzhen encourages electric vehicles, so approvals are quick. Finally, drive to the vehicle management office for testing and registration, bringing the new car invoice to avoid any hassles. Following these steps, despite the paperwork, ensures a hassle-free, one-stop solution.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Is On but the Tires Are Fine?

Here are the solutions for when the tire pressure warning light is on, but the tires appear to be fine: Solution: Visual Inspection: After safely parking the vehicle, observe the contact area between each tire tread and the ground. This is done by checking how many tread blocks are in contact with the ground. If a tire appears to be significantly lower in pressure (with nearly one more tread block in contact compared to the other tires), it is not advisable to continue driving. Note: It is recommended to keep a tire pressure gauge in the car to measure the pressure of all four tires. The vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system is a direct monitoring system, which can provide accurate data on the specific pressure of each tire.

Is CVT the Same as Automatic Transmission?

CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission. Some CVT transmissions also come with a manual-automatic mode, allowing switching between automatic and manual modes. More relevant information is as follows: Introduction: CVT transmission is called "continuously variable transmission" in Chinese. Its shifting principle differs from the stepped shifting of ordinary AT transmissions. It uses hydraulically controlled conical pulleys that tighten or expand to change the diameter of the steel belt, thereby achieving gear shifting. Highlights: The smooth shifting of CVT transmissions is one of its highlights. Since there are no actual gear constraints, the jerky feeling caused by shifting disappears, resulting in more linear power output. Additionally, the mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of CVT transmissions are superior to those of ordinary automatic transmissions, second only to manual transmissions.

How often should the gear oil in a tricycle rear axle be changed?

It should be changed approximately every 20,000-30,000 km. Below is relevant information: Time: The interval may vary depending on the oil brand, but generally, it should be changed every 20,000-30,000 km. For new vehicles, the rear axle oil should be replaced during the 12,000 km maintenance, and then inspected every 24,000 km thereafter. If noticeable discoloration or thinning is observed, immediate replacement is necessary. Precautions: Different types of hypoid gear lubricants should not be mixed, as this may cause the lubricant to deteriorate and corrode the main and pinion gears. Avoid introducing moisture during storage and filling of gear oil to prevent decomposition and reduced lubrication effectiveness. When replacing deteriorated lubricant, ensure the main reducer is thoroughly cleaned to avoid contamination of the new oil.
