What's the Difference Between Full-Cover and Half-Cover Car Seat Covers?

The differences are as follows: Full-Cover Type: Advantages: Provides complete protection for the seats, especially for leather seats, offering excellent protection. Disadvantages: As mentioned in previous articles, seat covers are limited in material choices, typically being either fabric or leather. Therefore, there are fewer options in terms of style and design, making the selection space relatively narrow. Another drawback is that installing seat covers is more challenging than installing seat cushions. Half-Cover Type: Advantages: Offers diversity in materials and styles. Choosing a more suitable car seat cushion for your car's style is a very simple task. Moreover, in different seasons, it's easy to replace the seat cushion with materials suitable for that season. Disadvantages: The seats are not fully wrapped. If you frequently carry pets or mischievous children in the car, the seats can easily get damaged in areas that are not covered.

What phenomena are prone to occur when the rear wheels lock up?

Car will be unable to drive normally. Specific reasons: If the left rear wheel of the car locks up, it is due to excessive wear of the vehicle's brake pads. This causes the brake caliper in the braking system to extend too far and fail to retract naturally, leading to jamming. At this point, the vehicle's brake pads are in a locked state, naturally causing the wheel to lock. Simply replacing the vehicle's brake pads will resolve the issue. Main advantages: The master cylinder rubber cup may become stuck and fail to return to its original position, causing the rear wheels to lock. This could be due to water or other impurities entering the braking system, or failure to clean the system thoroughly before switching to a different brand of brake fluid, causing the master cylinder rubber cup to swell and resulting in the rear wheels of the car locking up.

What is the mnemonic for distinguishing between the brake and accelerator?

The mnemonic is as follows: Left brake, right accelerator: Drivers should always remember that the left pedal is the brake and the right pedal is the accelerator, forming a natural and firm concept in their minds. Heel under the brake: Drivers should place their heel directly under the brake pedal so they can brake immediately in case of an emergency. Diagonal press for the accelerator, straight press for the brake: Since the heel is placed directly under the brake pedal, the brake is pressed straight down, while the accelerator is to the right of the brake, so the toes move to the right to press the accelerator diagonally without moving the heel. Foot on the brake when idle: When not accelerating, keep the foot on the brake pedal to be ready for braking at any time. If the foot is placed near the accelerator, it may lead to accidental pressing in a panic, whereas keeping it on the brake allows for better handling of sudden situations.

What does a 'beihu' car mean?

A 'beihu' car is a completely normal vehicle with all necessary documents possibly in order, and annual insurance payments up to date, except for the lack of ownership transfer. Regulations: According to the 'Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China', renting, lending, or transferring a resident identity card is illegal. Therefore, 'beihu' for profit is illegal. Agreements for selling cars through natural backdoors are also not protected by law. Reasons for the lack of ownership transfer after vehicle transactions: the license plate registration location is too far, making the cost of going to the registration location too high; vehicles used to repay debts, which may have gone through multiple rounds of debt repayment without clear records; the owner has passed away without the vehicle being deregistered; transferring license plates with the car in restricted areas; relocated vehicles that cannot be registered locally due to relocation restrictions; some scammers may also sell non-grade vehicles as 'beihu' cars at low prices.
