Both are acceptable. Here are the relevant details: Commercial insurance: If the owner has purchased commercial insurance, which includes scratch insurance, it can be utilized by directly going to a 4S shop for touch-up paint. Extent of the scratch: The severity of the vehicle scratch should be considered, such as the size, depth of the scratch, and whether sheet metal work is needed. Generally, if the area is small and does not require sheet metal work, the car can continue to be used. It might be more economical and convenient to accumulate several minor scratches over months or years before getting a unified paint repair. During the new car warranty period, it is best not to modify or add accessories without authorization, including performing maintenance on your own. However, minor repairs like touch-up paint, especially if not severe, usually do not affect the warranty.

Can an automatic transmission car be turned off without shifting to P gear?

An automatic transmission car cannot be turned off without shifting to P gear. The correct procedure is: After the car enters the parking position, hold the brake, shift the gear lever to N gear, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake and turn off the engine, then push the gear lever into P gear. P gear is the parking gear of an automatic transmission, which locks the wheels mechanically to prevent rolling and avoid unnecessary accidents. Other gears of an automatic transmission car are: 1. R gear is the reverse gear; 2. N gear is the neutral gear; 3. D gear is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear; 4. L gear is the low gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode; 6. M gear is the manual mode.

What is the function of the circuit breaker?

The function of the circuit breaker is to periodically open and close the primary circuit to induce high voltage in the secondary circuit. The circuit breaker is an important component of the battery ignition system, consisting of: cam, contact pair, capacitor, and ignition advance device. Its working principle is: the opening and closing of the contacts cut off or connect the primary circuit of the ignition coil, inducing high voltage in the secondary circuit of the ignition coil due to electromagnetic induction. The secondary high voltage is distributed to each cylinder of the engine through the distributor to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The circuit breaker contacts are made of tungsten alloy, with one contact being a fixed contact and the other being a movable contact. The grounding of the fixed contact is achieved by fixing the movable base plate and the lower fixed base plate with fixing screws, and the contact gap can be adjusted by rotating the eccentric screw.

What does it mean for a car's emissions to meet China V standards?

When a car's emissions are classified as China V, it means that the vehicle's exhaust emissions comply with the China V standard. China V is the fifth-stage national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions, which imposes relatively strict limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. The purpose is to reduce and prevent environmental pollution caused by vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. The requirements of China V are: 1. The carbon monoxide emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 1000 milligrams; 2. The non-methane hydrocarbon emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 68 milligrams; 3. The nitrogen oxide emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 60 milligrams; 4. The fine particulate matter emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 4.5 milligrams.

What transmission is used in the Bora 1.5 Tiptronic?

Bora 1.5 Tiptronic is equipped with an Aisin AQ250 6-speed Tiptronic transmission. Tiptronic: It combines manual shifting and automatic shifting in a car. Manual transmission allows free adjustment of gears and RPM, providing a smooth and sporty driving experience with great driving pleasure. Transmission: It is a gearbox that changes the transmission ratio and direction of motion. Located between the clutch and the central drive, its main functions are: changing the driving force and speed of the vehicle (shifting) without altering the engine speed and torque; enabling the vehicle to move backward (reverse); and allowing the engine to idle without stalling (neutral).

What are the classifications of electric vehicle batteries?

Electric vehicle batteries are classified into storage batteries and fuel cells. Storage batteries are suitable for pure electric vehicles, including lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, air batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. Fuel cells are used for fuel cell electric vehicles, including alkaline fuel cells, phosphoric acid fuel cells, molten carbonate fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and direct methanol fuel cells. The performance parameters of electric vehicle batteries are: 1. Electromotive force: Also known as the standard voltage or theoretical voltage of the battery, it is the potential difference between the positive and negative poles when the battery is open-circuited; 2. Rated voltage: Refers to the recognized standard voltage of the electrochemical system when the battery is operating; 3. Open-circuit voltage: The battery voltage under no-load conditions.
