BYD's new energy vehicles offer a lifetime warranty on battery cells. Here are the relevant details: BYD's Lifetime Warranty on Battery Cells: According to information on BYD's official website, BYD's new energy vehicle models come with a warranty policy. For non-commercial vehicles, the entire vehicle has a warranty period of 6 years or 150,000 kilometers, core components have a warranty period of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers, and the power battery cells have a lifetime warranty. Detailed Interpretation of BYD's Battery Warranty: The battery warranty refers to the power battery, which drives the vehicle forward, not the battery that supplies power to the vehicle's components. The battery can be replaced for free within 8 years, provided the mileage does not exceed 150,000 kilometers, and the battery capacity is less than 70% (or 80% in some cases) of its designed capacity. In addition to battery replacement, the battery's capacity can also be maintained through the battery cell warranty, which is covered for life. In this regard, BYD is currently the most generous among all automakers.

I previously conducted a detailed study on BYD's lifetime warranty for battery cells, which means that the core component of BYD's new energy vehicles—the battery cell—enjoys free repair or replacement services throughout the vehicle's lifespan. The battery cell is a critical element of the battery pack, responsible for storing and releasing electricity, directly impacting range and performance. The warranty covers issues caused by manufacturing defects or material problems, such as internal short circuits in the battery cell or excessive capacity degradation. However, this does not equate to coverage for the entire battery system; it has limitations: it applies only to the first owner, non-commercial use, requires timely maintenance at authorized service centers, and has a mileage cap (typically several hundred thousand kilometers). I believe this policy highlights BYD's confidence in its Blade Battery technology and can alleviate buyers' concerns about battery lifespan, but in practice, maintaining service records is essential to avoid disputes.

What is the normal tire pressure for the Ant?

The normal tire pressure for the Chery Ant ranges between 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. To check the current tire pressure of the Ant during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure values will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is to press the CAR button and switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What causes the ABS light to come on in a Volkswagen Bora?

ABS light can illuminate in various states, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose system wiring connections or faulty ABS relay contacts, leading to system malfunction. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding connection of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor electrical connector contact on the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit failure. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim sizes, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with your finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

What are the penalties for carrying 11 people in a 7-seater vehicle?

A 7-seater vehicle carrying 11 people constitutes an 80% overload, which will result in a fine and 6 penalty points. Overloaded vehicles bear loads far exceeding the design capacity of roads and bridges, leading to pavement damage and bridge fractures. Increased mass leads to greater inertia, longer braking distances, and higher risks. Vehicles are manufactured based on predetermined technical specifications, including load limits. Overloading alters these original design parameters.
