The so-called whole vehicle warranty does not cover all parts of the vehicle. Manufacturers usually do not provide warranty services for parts that are prone to damage or aging, or only offer a very short warranty period. Below is an introduction to car warranty services: 1. Wear-and-tear parts: Filters, belts, spark plugs, brake pads, friction plates, fuses, bulbs, wipers, etc. All brands classify these as wear-and-tear parts, but the warranty periods vary. Some may offer a warranty of 6 months/10,000 kilometers, while others may outright declare no warranty. 2. Tires: Most manufacturers consider tires as wear-and-tear parts. However, Toyota's two joint ventures in China—GAC Toyota and FAW Toyota—state that tires can enjoy the same warranty duration as the whole vehicle. 3. Battery: Opinions on batteries vary slightly more. German automakers like Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW do not classify batteries as wear-and-tear parts, whereas Japanese, Korean, and French automakers consider them as such. The warranty periods provided differ, ranging from as short as 6 months/10,000 kilometers to as long as 2 years/60,000 kilometers.

When I first got my new car, I was so excited—the warranty service was absolutely fantastic! It includes a basic warranty for three years or 30,000 kilometers, covering the engine, transmission, and electrical systems, so things like the air conditioning or headlights breaking are repaired for free. There’s also a free maintenance plan, such as oil changes and tire pressure checks every 10,000 kilometers, saving me the hassle. The tires come with separate coverage, so if they wear out early, they can be replaced for free. Roadside assistance is also really handy—if the car stalls on the road, just make a call and someone will come to tow it. I feel like this gives me more peace of mind while driving, saves me unnecessary expenses, and lets me enjoy the fun of driving a new car.

How many kilometers can a Haval First Love run with 55 liters of fuel?

Haval First Love can run about 600 kilometers with 55 liters of fuel. Fuel tank capacity: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of about 55-75 liters. After filling up the tank, the car can usually run about 500 kilometers. The fuel tank size varies according to the car's displacement: larger displacement cars have bigger fuel tanks, while smaller displacement cars have smaller ones. In China, the fuel tank capacity is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in reality, the actual capacity is usually larger than the nominal capacity. So there's no need to worry about the fuel tank being smaller than expected. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period—all these factors can affect the vehicle's fuel consumption.

What time is the afternoon session of Subject 3?

The start time of the afternoon session for the Subject 3 test varies by location, but it generally begins at 1:30 PM. Key difficulties and important points related to Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Speed and gear mismatch: Errors such as high gear at low speed or low gear at high speed should be avoided during the test. Before shifting gears, ensure the speed is adjusted to match the gear, then switch gears. During driving, glance at the speedometer every 8-10 seconds to prevent such mistakes. 2. Deviation in straight-line driving: Many candidates intentionally slow down due to concerns about not driving in a straight line, which is not advisable. This can actually increase the likelihood of the vehicle deviating from its path, so maintaining a reasonable and consistent speed is recommended. 3. Parking more than 30cm from the curb: In the Subject 3 test, it is explicitly required that the parking distance from the curb should not exceed 30cm. However, this distance is challenging for many students to gauge, often resulting in parking too far from the roadside.

Can I leave right after finishing the Subject 4 test?

If you fail the test, you can leave directly. If you pass the test, you must immediately return and submit the score sheet to the certification center. Here is some relevant information about Subject 4: 1. Introduction: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China", the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: in addition to the road test, a safety and civilized driving knowledge test was added, commonly referred to as "Subject 4", which assesses "driving ethics". Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. 2. Test Content: The main content includes: safety and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and knowledge of post-traffic accident handling.

What happens when there is air in the car radiator?

The presence of air in the car radiator essentially means there is an airlock in the coolant, which can hinder the smooth circulation of the coolant. Below are some precautions regarding the use of a car radiator: 1. Always use dedicated radiator fluid or qualified antifreeze: When selecting radiator fluid or antifreeze, opt for high-quality, diluted radiator fluid or antifreeze. In case of an emergency shortage, you can supplement with tap water to prevent unnecessary losses due to lack of coolant. Additionally, dedicated radiator fluid and antifreeze offer freeze and boil protection, which water cannot match. 2. Do not overfill the car radiator: If adding water, avoid filling it too much or completely, as this can lead to significant overflow due to thermal expansion, leaving behind water stains and scale deposits on the surface. Moreover, adding water can cause scale buildup in the cooling system, clogging pipes, impairing heat dissipation, and damaging the engine. 3. The fluid level in the car radiator should be maintained between the min and max marks: If it falls below the min mark, it is necessary to add the same brand and specification of coolant, or replace the entire coolant. The choice of coolant primarily depends on the local minimum temperature, and the factory-fill is typically all-season type.

What kind of clutch does the Civic have?

The Civic's clutch is a CVT continuously variable transmission. CVT Transmission: CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The difference between a CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, resulting in excellent fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving experience, while also reducing emissions and costs. Advantages of CVT Transmission: Since it lacks the gears found in conventional automatic transmissions, the CVT eliminates the gear-shifting process of automatic transmissions, thereby removing the associated gear-shift jolt. As a result, the power output of a CVT transmission is linear, providing an exceptionally smooth driving experience in practice. Theoretically, a CVT's transmission system can have an infinite number of gear ratios, allowing for more flexible gear settings. It also makes it easier to achieve a balance between gear ratio, speed ratio, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions compared to traditional transmission systems.

How is Tire Pressure Monitoring Achieved?

Tire pressure monitoring can be achieved through three methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. A wireless transmitter sends the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of the two aforementioned systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system does.
