PP refers to the trial production phase before mass production of new products. It is a common indicator of IQS, which conducts research based on consumers' experiences 2-6 months after purchasing a vehicle. It is often expressed as PP100 (problems per 100 vehicles), where a lower score indicates higher reliability. Automobile purchase indicators and performance: 1. Automobile purchase indicators: Similar to queuing for a number when dining or buying a house during peak times, having a number qualifies you to purchase a car, meaning it represents a quota. 2. Automobile power indicators: These include maximum speed, acceleration capability, and maximum climbing gradient, which are the most basic and important performance metrics in vehicle usage. 3. Automobile performance indicators: These include power performance, fuel economy, braking performance, handling stability, ride comfort, off-road capability, emissions, and noise pollution.

Is there a charge for car inspection at a 4S dealership when there's an issue?

Generally, inspections during the warranty period are free of charge; if the car is out of warranty, a fee will apply. Here are the details: 1. For out-of-warranty vehicles inspected at a 4S dealership, it depends on the situation. If it's just a visual inspection or listening to the vehicle's sounds, there's usually no charge, as it's a simple task. 2. However, if equipment is required or parts need to be replaced, there will be an inspection fee. Many 4S dealership technicians use computer diagnostics to read the system when inspecting a vehicle. Once a fault code is identified, the technician can quickly determine the location and cause of the issue. Typically, this method incurs a corresponding inspection fee.

What does the D gear in a car mean?

D gear in a car is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear, and is the most commonly used gear. During normal driving, the gear selector is placed in the D position, allowing the automatic transmission to shift automatically between gears based on the throttle input. The D gear is located in the middle-rear section of the gear shift console, behind the N gear, and is designed to enable the car to automatically select the appropriate gear while moving forward. The primary function of the D gear is to allow the transmission's computer and associated mechanical components to automatically choose the optimal gear in real-time while the vehicle is moving forward, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting. This greatly reduces the driver's workload, enhancing driving convenience, ease, and comfort.

Is it still advisable to buy a used car with 100,000 kilometers on it?

Judging solely by the mileage, 100,000 kilometers is not much compared to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping threshold, so this used car can still be considered for purchase. However, other factors should also be taken into account, such as whether the chassis and frame are deformed, whether the car's performance has been compromised, and the overall condition of the exterior. Below are some key considerations when buying a used car: Check the exterior: Some used cars have been in accidents, and to increase their resale value, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the body, and make them look newer. Therefore, when inspecting the car, pay attention to signs of repainting in various corners and parts, as well as wear and tear on the tires, headlights, and bumpers. Inspect the chassis and frame: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is perfectly restored, the frame and chassis are often difficult to repair. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as it may indicate the car was involved in a serious accident. In such cases, think carefully before purchasing. Evaluate the car's performance: When selecting a used car, tap the body to listen for any unusual sounds. Also, start the engine and listen for abnormal noises. If you hear anything out of the ordinary, proceed with caution.

Under what circumstances should the ECO mode be used?

ECO mode is used when the vehicle is moving at a constant speed. Since the ECO mode primarily functions through computer-controlled adjustments, it does not operate during idle parking or in manual mode. When the vehicle encounters situations requiring overcoming resistance, such as climbing a slope with high torque output, the ECO control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, thus deactivating the ECO mode. When ECO mode is enabled, the vehicle adjusts by reducing the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth and shifting gears earlier. This aims to control engine speed through appropriate gear selection, minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption.
