Friends who have driven the BYD F3 and L3 know that the F3 is more economical and practical, making it ideal for daily commuting. It’s quite fuel-efficient, averaging around 6-7 liters per 100 km. However, its interior is relatively simple with a strong plastic feel, and long drives can lead to backaches. The L3, on the other hand, feels noticeably more stylish inside, with better sound insulation, offering a stable and quiet ride on highways while being even more fuel-efficient and easier to maintain. I’ve always felt the F3 is like a seasoned budget-friendly option, suitable for families on a tight budget or beginners practicing driving. The L3, however, is more like a modern upgrade—spending a bit more for better comfort and refined details. If I had to choose, I’d recommend test-driving both first, as long-term comfort is crucial, whether for daily city commutes or small family trips.

"ON" means on, and "OFF" means off. Here is a related introduction to car buttons: 1. The "SEL" key is the menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel. 2. The "OK" key has the exact same function as the "SEL" key, but some cars use "SEL" while others use "OK". 3.

What Do the Plus and Minus Signs on an Automatic Transmission Mean?

Automatic transmission cars with plus and minus signs refer to the manual mode of the automatic transmission. The plus sign is for manually upshifting, and the minus sign is for downshifting. Below are the specific details: Specific operations for upshifting and downshifting with the plus and minus signs: Regardless of the current gear, pushing the gear lever toward the plus sign direction once will upshift by one gear. After pushing, the gear lever will automatically return to its original position, allowing repeated pushes to upshift further. Pulling the gear lever toward the minus sign direction once will downshift by one gear, and continuous pulls will result in continuous downshifting. Automatic transmissions with plus and minus signs indicate that the transmission is a manual-automatic (Tiptronic) transmission with manual functionality: While driving, shifting the gear lever from the D (Drive) position to the plus/minus side will simulate a manual transmission, preventing the transmission from automatically upshifting. Usage of the plus and minus signs in D mode: With the gear lever in the D position, moving it to the right will engage the manual mode. Pushing the lever upward once will upshift by one gear, while pulling it downward once will downshift by one gear. Note that upshifting may require certain speed and engine RPM conditions, whereas downshifting does not have such requirements.

What to Do When the Vehicle License Expires After Six Years?

It means the vehicle license itself has exceeded the prescribed validity period. This situation is the same as not having a vehicle license, and thus the vehicle is even more prohibited from being driven on the road. You need to reapply for a replacement vehicle license. Only after obtaining a new vehicle license can the vehicle be driven on the road.
