What does it mean when a 4S shop has the car but not the certificate of conformity?

4S shop having the car but not the certificate of conformity is a typical case where the after-sales department has mortgaged the certificate with the bank. Below are specific explanations about the vehicle certificate of conformity: 1. Meaning: The certificate of conformity is another important document for a car and is essential for vehicle registration. Only cars with a certificate of conformity meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards. 2. Regulation: After a vehicle is sold, the consumer pays, and the dealer delivers the car, forming a de facto sales contract. If the dealer delivers the vehicle without the certificate of conformity, preventing the consumer from registering the vehicle or obtaining insurance, it constitutes incomplete fulfillment of the contract.

Sometimes when a new car arrives at the 4S dealership, the vehicle certificate doesn't come with it, which is actually quite common. I think it might be because the 4S store hasn't received the official certificate from the car manufacturer yet, or the processing is just slow. I've encountered a similar situation myself when I was in a hurry to pick up the car, and the dealer said the documents were stuck in transit due to logistics issues. Additionally, the vehicle certificate is often held by banks as collateral for loans. If the 4S store has financial arrangements, the certificate will be released later. This can affect our immediate plans for license plate registration or insurance, which is quite troublesome. As a parent, I need to be careful when my child is eager to buy a car for trips, so I suggest first asking the dealership to clarify the reason. Don't worry about them hiding anything—a legitimate 4S store will be honest. Just wait patiently for a few days, and in the meantime, check if there are any other issues with the car. Planning ahead is always wise. This small detail in car knowledge reminds us that the documentation process is more complicated than we might think.

The vehicle management department will also revoke the registration certificate, license plate, and driving license for those who fail to obtain the inspection qualification mark within the specified period; 3. For those who fail to complete the deregistration procedures within the deadline, a mandatory deregistration notice will be issued.

What is the capacity of car windshield washer fluid?

Car windshield washer fluid capacity is approximately 1.5 liters. Windshield washer fluids are categorized into summer-use 0°C fluid and winter-use -20°C or -35°C fluid. The functions of windshield washer fluid are: 1. Maintaining clear visibility through the windshield while driving; 2. Extending the lifespan of both the windshield and wiper blades; 3. Preventing window icing in winter; 4. Eliminating static electricity on windows. The method for adding windshield washer fluid is: 1. Activate the wiper switch, causing the fluid to spray from nozzles below the windshield; 2. Continue until nozzles stop spraying, then open the washer fluid reservoir cap to add fluid; 3. Reactivate the wiper switch to clear remaining fluid; 4. When no more fluid sprays out, refill the reservoir and securely close the cap.

What Causes the Noise When Braking in Reverse?

Reasons for noise when braking in reverse: When braking in reverse, which is opposite to the vehicle's forward direction, there is a certain amount of clearance between the brake pads and the rear end of the bracket. Therefore, during braking, the brake pads impact the rear surface of the bracket, resulting in abnormal noise. The working principle of braking mainly relies on friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake discs, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, bringing the car to a stop. To mitigate the noise when braking in reverse, a thin layer of lubricating grease can be applied to the parts where the brake pads connect with the brake caliper bracket. This can help improve the phenomenon to some extent.

Why does the engine light sometimes turn on and sometimes off?

The engine warning light sometimes turning on and sometimes off indicates there is an issue with the engine. The intermittent nature of the light suggests the problem is not yet severe. When the issue does not affect normal driving, the engine warning light will turn off, but it will illuminate when a fault is detected. Common causes include: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body or engine internals. 2. A faulty oxygen sensor leading to an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture. This often occurs with prolonged low-speed city driving. 3. Fuel injector leakage causing continued fuel supply after throttle release, resulting in an overly rich mixture at low speeds and unstable idle. In severe cases, this may cause the engine to stall. 4. Use of substandard gasoline with excessive metal content, poisoning the oxygen sensor. The solution is to switch to a different gas station.

Is it better to use the internal or external circulation when turning on the car's air conditioning?

It is better to use the external circulation when turning on the car's air conditioning. Setting the air conditioning to internal circulation mode will cause the temperature inside the car to rise quickly. After the car becomes warm, switch to external circulation to help with air circulation inside the vehicle. The functions of car air conditioning are: 1. Achieving a cooling effect through the continuous phase change cycle of the refrigerant; 2. Removing dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the air inside the car, making the air fresher and increasing the relative humidity inside the vehicle. Methods for using and maintaining car air conditioning include: 1. Do not set the temperature too low; 2. Control the direction of the air vents; 3. Avoid prolonged use; 4. Occasionally turn on high fan speed; 5. Turn off the air conditioning when driving at low speeds.
