The flashing oil light on a Chevrolet Lova indicates low oil pressure or dirty oil. Here are the specific details: 1. Oil indicator light flashing: When the oil indicator light flashes, it means the oil pressure is low or the oil is too dirty, leading to reduced lubrication quality in the engine. This causes abnormal wear on the vehicle. In such cases, you should drive at low speed and have the lubrication system thoroughly checked at a 4S shop. 2. Oil pressure: An oil pressure warning indicates insufficient oil pressure, which is not the same as insufficient oil level. Even if the oil reaches the F mark, it only means there is enough oil. Oil pressure depends on the supply from the oil pump, which circulates oil through the engine's oil channels to all parts requiring lubrication. Oil is stored at the bottom of the engine, and the oil pump's power ensures lubrication reaches the top of the engine.

What is the process for handling minor vehicle scratch accidents?

First, clean the scratch with water, then apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratched area and gently rub it back and forth. Once the scratch disappears or weakens, wipe it dry with a wet towel. Similar to the toothpaste method, choose nail polish that matches the color of your car's paint and apply it evenly to the scratch. Wait for the nail polish to dry. This method is suitable for small-area scratches and scrapes. First, use very fine sandpaper dipped in water to gently remove rust spots, but avoid sanding randomly—always sand in the same straight-line direction.

What to Do When the Assessed Damage is Too Low to Cover Repair Costs?

Protect the scene and do not disturb it. Call the traffic police and the insurance company to come and handle the situation. You will need to report the license plate number, the owner's name, the insurance policy number, and the driver's name. The insurance company will send someone to take photos and gather evidence (sometimes the insurance company does not come to the scene but only goes to the claims center). Both parties should drive the accident vehicles together to the traffic police's rapid claims center, fill out the rapid claims confirmation form, and present the vehicle registration certificate and driver's license. The traffic police will investigate and confirm the responsibility for the accident. The claims center will provide an initial estimate of the accident losses. According to each party's respective liability, they will need to prepay the repair costs (deposit) and keep the receipt.

How to Set the Beep Sound When Locking the Car?

To activate the horn sound when locking the car with the remote key, simply press both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the lights flash. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current activates the electromagnet inside the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. Go to Settings > Sound > Screen Lock Sound > Play sound when locking and unlocking the screen. To ensure proper sound, the horn must not be rigidly mounted. It should be fixed on a cushioned bracket, with leaf springs or rubber pads placed between the horn and the mounting bracket.

How to Check Traffic Violations for a Second-hand Car Without Transfer of Ownership?

There are two methods to check traffic violations for a second-hand car without transfer of ownership: 1. You can search for the "Chazheng Tong" official account on WeChat, register, and inquire there. Alternatively, you can directly call 12580 on your phone, provide the license plate number, VIN, and engine number, and you will be informed whether the vehicle has any traffic violations. You can also visit the local traffic management center to inquire. Before transferring the ownership of the vehicle, you must clear all prior traffic violations and bring the payment receipts to the vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedures. If a second-hand car without transfer of ownership commits a traffic violation, the actual owner (i.e., the transferee) will be identified as the subject of liability for damages, while the nominal owner will not be held liable. According to Article 50 of the "Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China": If the parties have transferred and delivered the motor vehicle through sale or other means but have not completed the ownership transfer registration, and a traffic accident occurs for which the motor vehicle is at fault, the insurance company shall compensate within the compulsory insurance liability limit. Any insufficient amount shall be borne by the transferee. Explanation on Liability Determination for Motor Vehicles Without Transfer of Ownership: Under the dual criteria for determining the possessor of a motor vehicle—operational control and operational benefit—once the motor vehicle is delivered to the buyer or recipient, both operational control and operational benefit belong to the latter. Although the original owner remains the nominal owner in the registration, they no longer enjoy operational benefits or have operational control over the vehicle. Holding them liable would be unfair. Currently, China's laws and regulations do not explicitly require transfer of ownership registration as the effective condition for the transfer of motor vehicle ownership. Therefore, the transfer of motor vehicle ownership takes effect upon delivery.
