The auto parts-to-vehicle price ratio refers to the total price of all individual parts of a complete vehicle, and the ratio of this price to the vehicle's selling price, multiplied by 100%, resulting in a percentage coefficient. The function of the auto parts-to-vehicle price ratio: Its purpose is to safeguard consumers' right to know and protect their legitimate rights and interests by making repair prices more transparent, providing a relatively scientific reference value for pricing in both the insurance and repair industries. Appropriate parts-to-vehicle price ratio coefficient: For ordinary family cars, a parts-to-vehicle price ratio coefficient between 200% and 400% is considered appropriate. Models such as the Honda Accord, Nissan Teana, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Passat all fall within this range.

How many months does a new car count as inventory?

A new car is considered inventory if it has been more than six months from production to delivery, and for imported new cars, it is considered inventory if it has been more than one year from production to delivery. Comparison between inventory cars and new cars: Cars don't break down from being driven, but from sitting idle. For inventory cars that have been parked for months or even a year, the battery, various fluids, rubber components, paintwork, and related drainage holes will all be affected to some extent. Without professional knowledge and testing equipment, it is difficult for car owners to fully understand the condition of an inventory car, and they can only trust the seller. However, if the owner treats the inventory car correctly—such as starting the car periodically, cleaning it regularly, charging the battery periodically, and moving the car occasionally—then even a car that has been in inventory for over a year can still be in good condition.

Does keeping autohold on consume more fuel?

Keeping autohold on does consume more fuel. Here is a related introduction to the autohold automatic parking function: 1. Autohold, the English name for automatic parking, refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it is equivalent to not needing to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic handbrakes. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. 2. Automatic parking is an extension of the ESP function and is controlled by ESP components. When the vehicle is temporarily parked and needs to restart after a short period, the parking in this situation is completed by the ESP-controlled braking. The computer uses a series of sensors to measure the vehicle's level and wheel torque, determines the vehicle's tendency to move, and applies an appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the vehicle stationary.

Which gear should be used for pushing a car?

Push the car in N gear. The meanings of each letter in an automatic transmission are as follows: 1. P stands for Parking gear, also known as the starting gear; 2. R stands for Reverse gear; 3. N stands for Neutral gear; 4. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear; 5. L stands for Low gear; 6. S stands for Sport mode; 7. OD stands for Overdrive gear. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions, with power transmitted through the automatic transmission. Automatic transmissions are categorized into: hydraulic automatic transmissions, hydrostatic automatic transmissions, and electric automatic transmissions.

What happens if the spare car key is not used for a long time?

If the spare car key is not used for a long time, it will automatically drain the battery, so the battery should be removed when not in use. The method to replace the car key battery is as follows: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the bottom "open" position and pry it up and down; 3. Once a gap appears, use the screwdriver to pry open the key along the gap; 4. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one; 5. Reassemble the key. The working principle of a car key is: it emits a weak radio wave from the owner, which is received by the car's antenna. After the electronic controller identifies the signal code, the system's actuator performs the action of locking or unlocking. The functions of a car key include: 1. Remote locking and unlocking of the door; 2. Press and hold the lock button after turning off the engine to close the windows; 3. Press the horn-shaped button to locate the car.

What is the working principle of automotive continuously variable transmission?

The following is the working principle of a continuously variable transmission: 1. The power output from the engine's output shaft is first transmitted to the driving pulley of the CVT, then conveyed via the V-shaped belt to the driven pulley, and finally delivered to the wheels through the reducer and differential to drive the vehicle; 2. During operation, the movable discs of the driving and driven pulleys move axially to alter the working radius where the conical surfaces of these pulleys engage with the V-shaped belt. The axial displacement of the movable discs is controlled by the driver through adjusting the hydraulic cylinder pressure of the driving and driven pulleys via the control system as needed; 3. Since the working radii of the driving and driven pulleys can be continuously adjusted, this enables seamless gear shifting, achieving continuously variable transmission.

What is the difference between quattro all-wheel drive and regular all-wheel drive?

Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system differs from regular all-wheel drive in terms of operation and performance. Below is a comparison of the two: Different operation: (1) quattro all-wheel drive system: The quattro all-wheel drive system uses a central differential between the front and rear axles to absorb the speed difference between the front and rear wheels, balancing power distribution between the axles, ensuring the vehicle is always in all-wheel drive mode. (2) Regular all-wheel drive system: The regular all-wheel drive system requires the driver to manually switch driving modes, using a transfer case to rigidly connect or disconnect the front and rear axles to achieve all-wheel drive mode. Different performance: (1) Full-time all-wheel drive system: The quattro all-wheel drive system offers superior driving experience, stable cornering, and strong off-road performance. (2) Regular all-wheel drive system: The regular all-wheel drive system provides a poorer driving experience, unstable cornering, and weaker off-road performance.
