S gear stands for (sport) mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time to increase the vehicle's power. Here is an introduction to the automatic transmission gears: 1. P gear represents the parking gear, used when parking, meaning it is engaged after the car is parked, but it must only be engaged after the car is completely stopped. Its purpose is to effectively lock the car's output system, preventing the car from moving. 2. R gear represents the reverse gear. However, it is important to note that when preparing to reverse, the car must be in a completely stopped state before engaging this gear, otherwise it can easily cause wear to the transmission. 3. N gear represents the neutral gear, used when parking. 4. D gear represents the drive gear, which is the gear needed when the vehicle is in motion.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Second-Hand Car Without Transferring the Policy?

Insurance claims cannot be made for a second-hand car without transferring the policy. Below is an introduction to car insurance claims: 1. Overview: Car insurance claims refer to the process where the car owner files a claim with the insurance company after a traffic accident. The basic workflow of a claim includes steps such as reporting the incident, damage assessment, signing and receiving claim documents, calculation and review, approval, and final settlement. 2. Characteristics: Public nature of the insured: In China, car insurance policyholders were primarily companies and enterprises in the past. However, with the increase in personal car ownership, the proportion of individual car owners among the insured is gradually rising. These policyholders often purchase insurance passively and, due to limitations in culture, knowledge, and education, have limited understanding of insurance, traffic accident handling, and vehicle repairs. On the other hand, driven by interests, there can be significant communication barriers between inspectors, claim processors, and the insured during the claim process.

How Common Is It for Cars to Be Hit by Stones on the Highway?

It is quite common because the high speed of vehicles on the highway makes them susceptible to being hit by flying stones. Here are some additional precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Pre-trip vehicle inspection: Before driving, the driver should conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, with particular attention to various fluids, tires, and the braking system. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: When the rearview mirrors are in the optimal position, they allow the driver to better observe the sides and rear of the vehicle. Note that the adjustment methods for the left and right mirrors are slightly different. 3. Adjust the seat: A proper seating position can help the driver reduce fatigue during long-distance high-speed driving and ensure that the seating posture does not hinder the handling of emergencies. 4. Check the onboard tools: Onboard tools may rarely be used in daily driving, but they can be very useful in emergencies. 5. Pay attention to highway entrances: There are very strict requirements when entering the highway entrance ramp, including prohibitions on overtaking, making U-turns, stopping, and reversing.

Should I claim insurance or repair it myself for a broken windshield?

It is recommended to claim insurance for a broken windshield, provided that the owner has purchased separate glass breakage insurance. Only then can the claim be filed, and the insurance company will compensate according to the contract terms. Additionally, if the owner has purchased vehicle damage insurance but not glass insurance, and the windshield is damaged due to a traffic accident with other parts of the vehicle also affected, the insurance company is required to cover the compensation. Separate glass breakage insurance is an additional coverage in auto insurance, which refers to situations where only the windshield and window glass (excluding headlights and mirrors) of the insured vehicle are damaged, and the insurance company is responsible for compensation. During the insurance period, if the insured vehicle's windshield or window glass is broken while in use, the insurer will compensate based on the actual loss. The policyholder can voluntarily choose to insure with either imported or domestic glass through negotiation with the insurer, and the insurer will bear the corresponding insurance liability based on the selection.
