An 'A' inside a circle in a car represents the Auto Hold function. By pressing the Auto Hold button in the vehicle, this function can be activated. When enabled, the driver does not need to press the brake pedal or pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the vehicle. The system will release the brake automatically when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. The Auto Hold function serves the following purposes: 1. During short stops, such as at traffic lights, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling; 2. When starting on an uphill slope, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward, and it will release the wheels automatically when starting to move forward; 3. When parking and locking the car, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels (this feature is only available in certain car models).

How to Judge the Distance Between the Car Body and the Side Line Using Rearview Mirrors?

Rearview mirrors can directly show the rear wheels, allowing you to estimate that the car body is approximately 30 centimeters away from the side line. Alternatively, when the door handle aligns with the side line in the right rearview mirror, it indicates a 30-centimeter distance. Below are some methods for judging the distance between the car body and the side line using rearview mirrors: 1. Front edge of the hood: Some vehicles, like the Volkswagen Santana, have a non-flat hood. When the fold line at the 1/3 point of the right hood intersects with the right side line, the right side of the car is about 30 centimeters away from the side line. 2. Windshield washer nozzle: When the right windshield washer nozzle aligns with the extension of the right side line, it also indicates a "30-centimeter" distance. 3. Wiper rivet: Aligning a specific rivet on the wiper with the right side line can also help. Typically, this is the middle rivet of the left wiper.

What are the impacts of under-reporting the invoice amount for a new car?

Under-reporting the purchase invoice price for a car may result in a lower valuation during second-hand transfers. Here are the relevant details: 1. Relevant rules: The ex-factory price of a vehicle does not include value-added tax, meaning the invoice price is the ex-factory price plus tax, creating a certain difference between the two. The ex-factory price refers to the total price of the vehicle itself, excluding any additional fees, and is generally the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). 2. Drawbacks: If the invoice price is under-reported, when transferring the car, buyers will only refer to the invoice price, leading to a lower transfer price. Similarly, in cases of theft, flood, fire, or collision insurance claims, the insured amount is usually calculated based on the invoice price. Additionally, when pursuing compensation from the manufacturer for quality issues, it may be difficult to claim based on the actual purchase price, and compensation will only be based on the invoice price.

Should I repaint a scratched rearview mirror?

If the rearview mirror is scratched, it doesn't have much impact. You don't need to repaint it if you're not concerned about aesthetics. Repainting method: If you don't have the original factory paint, you can buy a touch-up pen and use it for coloring. Although this method isn't as effective as going to a beauty shop, it can help prevent rust from spreading and worsening if the scratch is small or not very noticeable. Function of car paint: Automotive paint mainly consists of four layers. The first is the electrophoretic paint, which primarily serves to prevent rust. The second is the primer, which mainly resists UV rays and stone chips and provides a base for the color paint. The third is the color paint layer, which is mainly for aesthetics. The fourth is the clear coat layer, which gives the car body a glossy finish and resists stone chips.
