If a small yellow car icon appears on the car dashboard, it is reminding the owner that the vehicle requires maintenance. The maintenance light usually disappears automatically after servicing. The function of the maintenance light: The maintenance light is a system that alerts the owner when the vehicle needs servicing by illuminating a light. Upon seeing this indicator, the owner will know that the vehicle requires maintenance. Therefore, the purpose of the maintenance light is quite evident. The importance of vehicle maintenance: Vehicle owners should take maintenance seriously because after driving for a certain period, many parts of the vehicle will experience various types of wear, damage, or malfunctions. Regular maintenance can effectively address these issues. If maintenance is neglected for too long, these problems may not be detected and resolved in time, leading to significant safety hazards and increasing the risk of driving.

What is the fuel consumption of the Yixuan GS Black Warrior?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Yixuan GS Black Warrior is 5.8-6.7L/100km. The 2021 Yixuan GS Black Warrior currently has 9 models on sale: the 200T manual Zhui Xing version and 200T manual Zhui Feng version, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km; the 230T automatic Zhui Xing version, 230T automatic Zhui Guang version, 230T automatic Zhui Xing Warrior version, 230T automatic Zhui Yue version, 230T automatic Zhui Feng version, 230T automatic Zhui Yue Warrior version, and 230T automatic Zhui Yao Warrior version, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.0-9.1L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load), while an SUV model weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Air resistance: Higher air resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower air resistance, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has a most economical torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars have an economical RPM at about 70 km/h, while large-displacement cars have it at about 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light can increase fuel consumption.

What does it mean when the ramp fixed point is less than 50 centimeters?

Ramp fixed point less than 50 centimeters refers to the situation where the distance from the side line is less than fifty centimeters but more than thirty centimeters when parking at a fixed point on a ramp. In this case, 10 points will be deducted. When parking at a fixed point on a ramp, the distance from the side line should be less than or equal to thirty centimeters and the line should not be crossed. Upon hearing the instruction: Turn on the right turn signal, appropriately steer the steering wheel to the right, allowing the vehicle to move slowly and straight along the right side of the road, while paying attention to the distance between the vehicle body and the right side line. Approaching the target: When the vehicle is about 10 meters away from the parking pole, slowly, accurately, and steadily approach the positioning target. Determining the target: Use the parking pole and a certain point on the windshield (or engine cover) as the target. When it is visually confirmed that a certain point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole, meaning the vehicle's bumper aligns with the parking pole line, stop immediately.

Do All New Cars Come with Plastic Film on the Exterior?

Typically, new cars have plastic film covering both the exterior and interior to prevent scratches. However, before delivery, the dealership will clean the vehicle, so the exterior film is usually removed. The interior protective covers are also generally taken off by the sales staff, which is part of the standard delivery process and nothing to be overly concerned about. Below are some methods for protecting your car's paint: 1. Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or after polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the paint surface. Polishing waxing requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax, which can instantly make the car shine. 2. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid or alkaline cleaning and can be easily damaged. It usually lasts only 1 to 3 months, and glazing can harm the paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. 3. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for car paint, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, tires, and other key areas. It comes in fast-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by its primary components. 4. Film Application: Car coating is a highly effective protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple benefits such as resistance to acid and alkali, high temperature, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.

What is the total loss standard for flood-damaged vehicles?

The standard for declaring a flood-damaged vehicle as a total loss is when the vehicle is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired, or the cost of repairs reaches or exceeds the actual value of the vehicle. Hazards of flood-damaged vehicles: They can cause damage to the electronic control systems inside the car. The mixed rainwater is highly corrosive and can affect the functionality of electrical components, especially in future use. Most cars are equipped with electronic control systems (e.g., engine ECU, ABS system, SRS system, GPS navigation, etc.). If water enters, it can cause short circuits in the ECU's internal IC circuit board and rust on connector terminals, gradually leading to corrosion of metal parts and poor circuit contact. In severe cases, it may even cause short circuits and burning. Interior components such as carpets and seats may deform, become rough, and develop odors due to prolonged soaking, leading to bacterial growth. Moisture in the wiring harness under the carpets can cause short circuits due to dampness. How to identify flood-damaged vehicles: After cleaning, it is not easy to identify a flood-damaged vehicle from its exterior appearance. Flood-damaged vehicles mainly undergo repairs for water-damaged components, rarely involving bodywork. For example, if the headlights or taillights are waterlogged, they are either replaced or drained. Similarly, water inside the car is removed, and soaked components are disassembled and dried or simply aired out. However, flood-damaged vehicles are relatively easy to distinguish because they often emit a musty smell even after thorough cleaning. The trunk is a key area—if there is significant rust, it likely indicates water damage.

Will Flood-Damaged Cars Be Sold as New?

Flood-damaged cars will not be sold as new vehicles. When a car is submerged in water for an extended period, its body components will suffer severe corrosion, and the electrical circuits and equipment will sustain significant damage. Even after repairs, such a car remains a ticking time bomb, retaining numerous safety hazards. In later usage, the vehicle will frequently develop minor issues. If discovered during a second-hand sale, the consequences can be severe. Handling of Flood-Damaged Cars: Manufacturers will process these vehicles according to internal procedures for damaged cars, ensuring they do not enter the sales channels. Unsold flood-damaged cars should not be released into the market but instead be internally absorbed. Repaired flood-damaged cars may be sold to employees at a price below market value, with restrictions on transfer within a specified period. Methods to Identify Flood-Damaged Cars: Smell the Interior: Check for a musty odor inside the car. Flood-damaged cars often have a musty smell in hidden areas like the floor mats, trunk lining, and under the seats, which is difficult to eliminate and usually leaves evidence. If you detect a musty smell, be cautious—check if air fresheners or other items are being used to mask it. Inspect Hidden Areas of the Vehicle: Look for rust or signs of screw removal and replacement in hidden parts of the car. Pull the seats back to check the rails for rust or sand. Extend the seatbelt fully to see if there are water stains or dirt at the end.
