The function of the HOLD button in a car is gear locking, which allows locking in any gear of an automatic transmission car (except for the P, R, N three gears). The role of the HOLD button: The HOLD button adjusts the optimal driving state according to different driving conditions, effectively preventing the transmission from frequent gear shifts on poor road surfaces, and serves as a forced downshift (without upshifting) during overtaking. Detailed introduction to the HOLD function: When pressing the HOLD button in D gear, the transmission will remain in second, third, or fourth gear (mainly fourth gear). When pressing the HOLD button in 3rd gear, it will remain in second or third gear (mainly third gear). When pressing the HOLD button in 2nd gear, it will remain in second gear. When pressing the HOLD button in 1st gear, it will remain fixed in first gear.

Is the vehicle inspection exemption sticker required to be obtained every two years?

The inspection exemption sticker is obtained every two years. Even for exempted vehicles, maintenance should not be neglected. Exterior damage: Minor scratches and dings are inevitable in daily car use. Many owners leave small damages untreated for various reasons, which usually don't affect the inspection. However, more severe damage might make it harder to pass the exterior inspection. Triangular window tinting: According to regulations, window tinting generally doesn't affect the inspection. However, the triangular window area near the front side windows must remain untinted to maintain proper visibility for the driver to observe side mirrors. If this area is tinted, the vehicle will fail inspection. For vehicles without triangular windows, sufficient untinted area must be reserved. Exterior appearance differing from photo: Any modification that makes the vehicle look different from the photo in the registration certificate is considered an exterior alteration. Don't worry if factory emblems fall off naturally - regulations clearly state this won't affect inspection, as long as no additional emblems are added.

Does Vehicle Damage Insurance Cover Vehicle Damage?

Whether an insurance company compensates for vehicle damage depends on the type of insurance coverage and the nature of the damage. If the vehicle is damaged in a two-party traffic accident, the insurance claim is determined based on traffic liability. The vehicle owner's own liability is covered under the vehicle damage insurance, while the other party's liability is covered under compulsory traffic insurance or third-party liability insurance. If the vehicle damage falls under an exemption clause, such as damage caused by the owner driving under the influence of alcohol, the insurance company will not compensate. In summary, all claims are subject to the insurance company's review and approval based on the terms of the insurance policy. Vehicle damage insurance covers all damages except for the following scenarios during the insurance period: Earthquakes; war, military conflicts, terrorist activities, riots, seizures, confiscation, government requisition; competitions, tests, or during repair and maintenance at commercial service centers; using the insured vehicle for illegal activities; driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or narcotics; fleeing the accident scene without taking legal measures, or intentionally destroying, falsifying the scene, or destroying evidence. No compensation for emotional distress. The insurance company will not compensate if the driver falls under any of the following circumstances: no valid driver's license or expired license; driving a vehicle that does not match the license type; driving with an unverified license or during the suspension, revocation, or cancellation of the license; driving under conditions not permitted by laws or traffic management regulations. No compensation for damage caused by restarting the engine after water ingress. No compensation for stolen parts.
