The car icon displayed on the dashboard represents the vehicle's anti-theft system indicator. A constantly illuminated car icon may indicate that the vehicle stability control system is turned off. If it flashes while driving, it means the stability control system is active. An icon showing car doors open indicates that a door is not properly closed. Here are specific details about the car anti-theft system: 1. Concept: The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent vehicle theft, unauthorized movement, and loss of items inside the car. 2. Classification: Currently, it can be divided into three types based on structure: mechanical, electronic, and networked. Introduction to vehicle self-check: 1. Vehicle self-check process: Each time the vehicle is started, icons will appear in the center of the dashboard and automatically turn off after a few seconds. 2. After the self-check is completed, the corresponding icons will turn off, while icons indicating faults will remain illuminated to alert the driver.

Differences Between High and Low Trim Levels of Tiguan Wheel Hubs?

Tiguan wheel hubs differ only in size between high and low trim levels, with the same material used. Below are the details about the wheel differences: 1. The main difference between high and low trim wheels lies in the tires. Depending on the tire grade, different sizes of wheel hubs are matched. Generally, high-trim vehicles have larger tire sizes with better performance, requiring larger wheel hubs compared to low-trim vehicles. 2. In terms of appearance, the Tiguan adopts Volkswagen's family design philosophy, appearing stylish and dynamic. The design also breaks new ground, making Volkswagen vehicles look less "common" and no longer strictly conventional. The side profile of the body is smooth and natural, maintaining the consistent stability and restraint of German cars. The rear design, like the side profile, gives a first impression of classic and timeless appeal, with the tail lights complementing the headlights to present a unified front and rear style. 3. In terms of handling, the seating position is higher, offering a broad field of vision, with light and precise steering and smooth gear shifting. The chassis is solid and steady. 4. The Tiguan comes standard across all models with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution), and ASR (Traction Control System).

Check if the vehicle has any mortgages, court seizures, economic disputes, unresolved traffic violations, or if the inspection and insurance are overdue. For vehicles registered under corporate accounts, confirm if there are any specific local transfer requirements. Vehicle Condition: Exercise caution when considering vehicles in poor condition, no matter how cheap they are. After identifying the ideal model, if the budget allows, prioritize vehicles that are newer in terms of age.

Which Takes Precedence for Car Maintenance: Mileage or Time?

Car maintenance is generally based on mileage. Below are relevant details regarding car maintenance: 1. Oil Quality: Full synthetic oil requires maintenance at around 10,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil requires maintenance at around 5,000 kilometers. 2. Vehicle Usage Frequency: If the car is only used for commuting in the city, the maintenance interval can be extended by 1,000-2,000 kilometers as long as the oil is genuine. If the vehicle is used more frequently, covering tens of thousands of kilometers a year, the maintenance interval can be shortened by 1,000-2,000 kilometers. 3. Oil Shelf Life: If the car is used very infrequently, covering only a few thousand kilometers a year, the oil may degrade after being opened. In such cases, it is recommended to change the oil every six months.

Can a Used Motorcycle Be Licensed?

Used motorcycles with complete documentation can be licensed. Verification: After purchasing the vehicle, bring the invoice issued by the dealer to the Motor Vehicle Market Management Office under the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce to complete the verification process and have the verification stamp affixed. For imported vehicles, additional documents such as the Customs Import Certificate or Confiscation Certificate, Commodity Inspection Certificate, and related license application procedures provided by the dealer must also be submitted. Obtaining a Movement Permit: If the owner can ensure that the licensing procedures are completed within seven days of purchasing the new vehicle, then a vehicle movement permit is not required. If the vehicle remains unlicensed for more than seven days, the owner must apply for a vehicle movement permit at the local traffic police department. Vehicle Inspection: Just like a new employee undergoing a medical check-up before employment, a new vehicle must pass an inspection before receiving its license. After passing the inspection, the on-site police officer will complete and sign the Motor Vehicle Registration Form. Required documents for the inspection include the owner's ID card, import documents (if applicable), and the inspection approval form issued by the Vehicle Management Office.

What to Do When the Hyundai Elantra Cannot Detect the Smart Key?

The reason why the Hyundai Elantra displays "no key detected" when starting is due to the smart key battery being depleted. The solutions are as follows: 1. Promptly purchase and replace the smart key battery to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it is recommended to have the smart key inspected. 2. Remote keys generally do not suddenly lose power; there are usually signs when the battery is running low, such as a shortened remote range where you need to be closer for it to respond. Occasionally, the remote key may fail to unlock the door, requiring multiple presses to work, which is also a symptom of a low battery.
