The difference between resource cars and 4S store cars lies in different vehicle channels, different after-sales prices, etc. The specific differences are introduced as follows: Different vehicle channels: Resource cars are vehicles sold in auto trade stores, which are not directly provided by manufacturers but purchased through various channels and then resold to consumers; while 4S store cars are authorized by manufacturers and operated by qualified automotive dealers with agency qualifications. Different after-sales prices: The vehicles sold by 4S stores are directly supplied by manufacturers, and the after-sales service and car prices are managed by the manufacturers. The prices cannot be modified privately. Moreover, 4S stores are authorized by manufacturers and operated by qualified automotive dealers with agency qualifications. Therefore, price discounts or charging standards are uniformly stipulated by the manufacturers. There may be some additional charges in 4S stores, but they are clearly marked and completely reasonable. Generally, it is recommended that consumers purchase cars from regular 4S stores.

Is modifying car lights legal?

Currently, there are no explicit laws in China that classify the modification of xenon headlights as illegal. However, if the luminous intensity of the modified xenon headlights exceeds the stipulated value, it constitutes an illegal modification. Additionally, converting halogen lights to xenon lights will not pass the annual vehicle inspection. If you modify your car lights yourself, you must apply for approval and registration at the vehicle management office and undergo relevant light inspections. Modifications that do not meet the standards will not be approved. Below are specific details about xenon lights: 1. Xenon lights, also known as high-intensity discharge (HID) lights, offer advantages such as safety, energy efficiency, high brightness, long lifespan, and easy installation. Many high-end vehicles come equipped with xenon lights from the factory, making them a popular choice for car light modifications. 2. There is no issue with xenon lights as long as the color temperature does not exceed 6000K during installation. The standard color temperature for factory-installed xenon lights is 4300K, which provides the best light penetration and does not cause glare for oncoming traffic.

What is the Function of an Engine Solenoid Valve?

The function of an engine solenoid valve: A solenoid valve uses the electromagnetic force generated by an electric current flowing through a coil to attract the valve core. It is divided into normally open and normally closed types, commonly used to cut off the flow of substances such as oil, water, and gas. It works in conjunction with electrical equipment like pressure and temperature sensors to achieve automatic control. Its characteristic is that it can operate normally under vacuum, negative pressure, and zero pressure, but the diameter generally does not exceed 25mm. More details are as follows: 1. The principle of an engine solenoid valve: When energized, the electromagnetic coil generates an electromagnetic force that lifts the closing component from the valve seat, opening the valve; when de-energized, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the spring presses the closing component onto the valve seat, closing the valve. 2. Automotive solenoid valves also include distributed direct-acting solenoid valves, direct-acting solenoid valves, and pilot-operated solenoid valves.

What is the method to reactivate ETC after removal?

ETC reactivation method after removal: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting/removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and doesn't affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there's a download QR code on the electronic tag), then enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC installation process: When receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-removal button on the back of the OBU - a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Tag invalid" or "Please insert card", indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean and dry. Then peel off the OBU's adhesive backing and stick it to the installation position, pressing firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with its front facing the driver and back facing the windshield, making sure the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device.
