How many days can a new car be driven on the road with an invoice?

New cars cannot be driven on the road with an invoice. According to Article 8 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the state implements a registration system for motor vehicles. Motor vehicles can only be driven on the road after being registered by the traffic management department of the public security authority. For motor vehicles that have not yet been registered but need to be temporarily driven on the road, a temporary license plate must be obtained. When driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle must display the license plate, place the inspection qualification mark and insurance mark, and carry the vehicle registration certificate. An invoice is a business document issued and received by all units and individuals in the purchase and sale of goods, provision or acceptance of services, and other business activities, serving as the original basis for accounting.

Is it safe to drive with a tire pressure of 2.1?

A tire pressure of 2.1 is not safe for normal driving. The recommended tire pressure range is between 2.3 and 2.5. Excessively low tire pressure can cause severe deformation of the tire sidewall, damage the cord layer, and lead to a blowout. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The hazards of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Making the steering wheel heavy, which is a safety hazard; 3. Increasing the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling and accelerating rubber aging; 4. Reducing the functionality of the cord and rubber; 5. Making the tire sidewall prone to cracks and causing flexing movements.

What are the precautions during the break-in period of a new car?

Precautions during the break-in period of a new car include: 1. Warm up the car before starting: Wait 5 to 10 seconds after shifting to second gear before starting; 2. Avoid high-speed driving: New cars have speed limits during the break-in period, with domestic cars limited to 40 to 70 kilometers per hour and imported cars to 100 kilometers per hour; 3. Avoid overloading: Carrying too much weight during the break-in period can damage the mechanical parts; 4. Do not remove the speed limiter prematurely: The speed limiter is a throttle device installed between the carburetor and the intake pipe. It should not be removed too early but after driving 1,000 kilometers; 5. Do not change the oil too early: The initial oil used in the car is specifically for the break-in period, featuring low viscosity, good heat dissipation, and excellent oxidation resistance; 6. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the shock load on the chassis and engine.

How to switch to manual mode with a manual-automatic transmission?

Method for switching to manual mode with a manual-automatic transmission: Simply shift the gear lever to the right while driving. These transmissions typically have clear D+ or D- markings for manual gear shifting. Pushing the lever up shifts to a higher gear, while pulling it down shifts to a lower gear. A manual-automatic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting methods, integrating the advantages of both to minimize power loss in the transmission system. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM according to their preferences, delivering a thrilling and sporty driving experience.

Reasons for Baojun 510 Engine Anti-Theft Authentication Failure

Baojun 510 engine anti-theft authentication failure may result in phenomena such as brake failure, heavy steering wheel, and failure to start.

Mechanism of action: The engine anti-theft system cannot connect with the key. When the key fails, authentication failure will be displayed. The vehicle's engine electronic anti-theft system has an anti-theft converter embedded in the car key. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch lock cylinder and turned to the "ON" position, the electronic anti-theft ECU communicates with the key via radio frequency.

How long can the original spark plugs last?

The service life of original spark plugs varies under different conditions: 1. Nickel alloy spark plugs have a service life of about 20,000 kilometers; 2. Platinum alloy spark plugs have a service life of about 40,000 kilometers; 3. Iridium spark plugs have a service life of about 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The service life of spark plugs is related to factors such as electrode material and spark plug brand. To maintain spark plugs, it is necessary to perform regular inspections, timely replacements, and periodic cleaning. When carbon deposits are found on spark plugs, they can be soaked in kerosene for a period of time and gently scrubbed with a fine steel brush. After removing the carbon deposits, dry them with compressed air before reuse.
