"The yellow OFF light on the car dashboard means the function is turned off, while ON indicates it is activated. The OFF light primarily refers to ESP OFF, where ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, an active safety system designed to prevent vehicle skidding and loss of control. If the ESP OFF light illuminates on the dashboard, it means the vehicle's stability control system is either manually deactivated or experiencing a malfunction. If the ESP OFF light turns on accidentally due to pressing the ESP OFF button, simply press it again briefly to reactivate the ESP system. However, if the light remains on due to a system malfunction, it is recommended to take the vehicle to a 4S dealership for immediate inspection. Various issues can trigger the warning light, such as wiring faults, damaged sensors, incorrect signals from the electronic control unit, or a weak battery. ESP is particularly sensitive to oversteering or understeering. For example, when a car oversteers (turns too sharply) on slippery roads, causing the rear to slide outward, the system detects the skid and quickly applies braking to the appropriate front wheel to restore traction, generating counter-torque to keep the vehicle on its intended path. The key difference between a car equipped with ESP and one with only ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Traction Control System) is that ABS and ASR react passively, whereas ESP proactively monitors driving conditions and corrects errors to prevent accidents before they occur."

Does the car transfer include the insurance?

According to the relevant provisions of the Insurance Law, when the insured vehicle is sold, transferred, gifted to others, or its purpose is changed, the insured must notify the insurance company in writing in advance and apply for endorsement. Once the insured vehicle is transferred, the original insurance policy will become invalid. In addition, after the transfer of a used car, the auto insurance must go through the endorsement procedure for the insurance company to continue to provide coverage for the insured vehicle. The following is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Introduction 1: For the original owner, although they are still the policyholder and beneficiary of the insurance contract, they are no longer the owner of the insured vehicle's property rights and no longer have an insurable interest in the vehicle. If the insured vehicle is involved in an accident, it will not cause a loss, so even if the original owner is contacted, they cannot claim compensation. 2. Introduction 2: After the vehicle transfer is completed at the vehicle management office, the new owner should bring the transfer certificate, a copy of the vehicle license, the original insurance policy, their ID card, and the original insurer's ID card to the original insurance company to fill out a transfer application form, and then the endorsement transfer procedure can be completed.

How often should the Tiguan change tires?

Tiguan should change tires approximately every 3 years or 50,000 kilometers. Beyond this period, tires begin to age, with the main manifestations being surface hardening and the appearance of cracks. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use can lead to tread deformation, posing a risk of blowouts. Tires need to be replaced under the following circumstances: Wear Limit: When the tire wear reaches the wear limit indicator, there are small triangular patterns along the tire sidewall and the edge of the tread. Following any of these triangles to the tread pattern, you will find small raised lines within the tread that are lower than the normal tread pattern, indicating the safety line. If the wear reaches this point, the tire should be replaced. Aging Degree: Check the degree of tire aging. If there are many cracks but they do not affect normal use, the tire can still be used. However, if the crack depth exceeds 3 millimeters, the tire needs to be replaced. Tread Deformation or Bead Damage: Tires that have been driven while flat, causing damage to the sidewall, or tires that have been corroded by chemicals cannot continue to be used. Number of Repairs: If a tire has been repaired more than three times, it needs to be replaced with a new one.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the MG3 in liters?

MG3 has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the MG3 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for MG3 is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5.6-5.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 762-803 kilometers. During daily driving, it's necessary to constantly monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it's generally recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there's additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperature rises without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.

How Long Does It Take to Repair Paint on a Bumper?

A brand-new unpainted bumper typically takes about one day for painting, drying (either baked or air-dried), and subsequent polishing, with a maximum of two days for slower processes. For used bumpers, the duration depends on the area to be painted: small areas may take half a day, while larger areas require additional time for color matching with the vehicle's existing paint to avoid noticeable discrepancies. Non-factory paint mixtures may result in a dull appearance on the vehicle while the new bumper appears shiny. Below is relevant information: Generally, the entire surface needs to be sanded down. Below is relevant information: 1. Bumper: A car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. 2. Impact of Paint Repair on the Vehicle: There are two main effects. First, extensive paint repairs can affect the vehicle's resale value. For instance, under similar conditions, a car with repainted areas may be cheaper than one with minor unscratched scratches. Second, repainted surfaces tend to age faster than factory paint because repair paint is not as durable as the original. Even if color differences are not immediately visible, they may appear over time, and in severe cases, the paint may even peel off.
