The differences between a debt repayment vehicle and a mortgaged vehicle are as follows: Different Collateral: The difference lies in who owns the collateral. Pledge is a type of security interest. The biggest difference between mortgage and pledge is that mortgage does not transfer the collateral, while pledge must transfer possession of the collateral; otherwise, it is not a pledge but a mortgage. Different Procedures: The difference in the procedures for mortgage and pledge is that items used as property for mortgage must be registered with the corresponding registration department; otherwise, the mortgage contract is invalid. For items used as pledge, the parties can transfer the pledged item to the other party after signing the pledge contract. Different Repayment Methods: If the pre-agreed loan period between the mortgagor and the creditor expires, and the mortgagor cannot repay the debt, the creditor needs to negotiate with the mortgagor to discount or sell the collateral to repay the loan. If negotiation fails, the creditor must file a lawsuit with the People's Court to seek repayment.

As someone who frequently deals with automotive legal matters, I've found that the key differences between repossessed vehicles and mortgaged vehicles lie in ownership and handling methods. A mortgaged vehicle is used as collateral by the owner when taking out a loan, with ownership remaining with the owner and only being disposed of in case of default; a repossessed vehicle is directly used to settle unpaid debts, with ownership generally transferred to the creditor. For example, when buying a mortgaged vehicle, it may still be possible to redeem it from the bank, but purchasing a repossessed vehicle might make transfer of ownership impossible, and it could even be towed away by the creditor. I advise everyone to thoroughly check the vehicle's history before purchasing to avoid disputes. From personal experience, many misunderstandings lead to financial losses, especially damage to credit records. It's recommended to consult professional agencies to verify the vehicle's background records to prevent future troubles.

Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Geely Vision S1?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir for the Geely Vision S1 is located on the right side of the engine compartment. After locating it, open the blue cap to refill. Generally, you need to add about 4 liters. There is a dipstick inside the washer fluid reservoir; pay attention to it while refilling and stop when the fluid reaches the marked line. Overfilling may cause spillage and unnecessary waste. Here are some precautions to note when adding windshield washer fluid: 1. Generally, windshield washer fluid comes in two types: concentrated and non-concentrated. 2. Concentrated fluid needs to be mixed with water in a certain ratio before use, while non-concentrated fluid can be directly added to the reservoir without dilution. So, check carefully when purchasing. 3. Additionally, due to different freezing points, windshield washer fluid is categorized into winter-use and summer-use types. Choose the appropriate type based on the temperature in your region.
