  1. Different target markets: China-spec vehicles: Vehicles sold to the Chinese market are called China-spec. US-spec vehicles: Vehicles sold to the US market that comply with US traffic regulations are called US-spec. 2. Different language displays: China-spec vehicles: The dashboard and central control display show information in Chinese. US-spec vehicles: US-spec vehicles display information in English, though many agencies in China offer services to convert the display from English to Chinese. 3. Differences in after-sales service and maintenance: US-spec vehicles: There is a yellow reflective strip on the side of the headlights, which is a mandatory requirement for all vehicles in the US. The engine's power output curve may also be adjusted. China-spec vehicles: China-spec vehicles do not have this reflective strip on the side of the headlights. China-spec models are specially tuned to better suit Chinese road conditions and fuel quality, mainly in terms of the chassis suspension system.

What is the detailed process of crystal coating?

Here is the method for automotive crystal coating: 1. Clean and remove dirt from the car body; 2. Protect the parts of the car body that are not painted to avoid grinding damage; 3. Polish the paint surface and restore the paint surface; 4. Clean the car body after polishing, remove the cover, rinse off surface wax residue to avoid residue; 5. Degrease to remove the oil film on the paint surface. Additional information: 1. Automotive crystal coating provides reliable paint surface sealing technology, offering efficient and long-lasting protection for the car paint, preventing environmental impacts on the paint color. 2. Automotive crystal coating is completely different from automotive film coating, waxing, and glazing. 3. The basic material for crystal coating is SiO2 inorganic matter, which can form a structure on the applied surface. The molecular nano-level isolation layer is formed on the applied surface through the action of high molecular polymers, and this isolation layer has the effect of resisting ultraviolet rays.

Does the Elantra have a rearview mirror heating function?

The Elantra Premium model is equipped with a rearview mirror heating function, while other models do not have this feature. The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the exterior rearview mirrors to be heated via electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror glass when driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, ensuring a clear surface of the mirror. Information about the rearview mirror heating function is as follows: 1. The principle of rearview mirror heating involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror glass of both side rearview mirrors. In rainy or snowy weather, when the rearview mirror heating function is activated, the heating element quickly reaches a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror to remove fog and frost. 2. The rearview mirror heating function is very practical but should not be used frequently. Each use should not exceed 30 minutes, otherwise it may affect the lifespan and clarity of the mirror.
