I have been interested in the automotive industry since childhood. GAC Toyota and GAC Trumpchi are both brands under the GAC Group, like two brothers in a big family. GAC Toyota is a joint venture between GAC and Japan's Toyota, mainly producing classic Toyota models such as the Camry and Levin; GAC Trumpchi, on the other hand, is GAC's own independent brand, focusing on innovative products like the Trumpchi GS4. Their relationship is quite nuanced—they share factory resources and management systems but have different positioning: GAC Toyota follows a reliability-oriented approach, while Trumpchi emphasizes cost-effectiveness and localized design. This collaboration has driven the group's automotive industry upgrades in South China, with complementary development from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles. I often follow their updates and find that this model gives consumers more choices.

Can Modified Seats Pass the Annual Inspection?

Seat modification falls under interior modification and generally does not affect the normal annual inspection, meaning it can pass the inspection. Most interior modifications involve upgrading seats to leather or adding decorative elements to the dashboard, which typically do not compromise driving safety and thus do not impact the annual inspection. Below is supplementary information on car seat modifications: 1. Car seats are a prominent part of the interior and serve as components for passenger seating, making them a common target for modifications by owners. Changes can range from simple seat cover replacements to installing more luxurious, feature-rich seats. 2. Seat modifications are usually based on personal preferences or the vehicle's class. High-end vehicles often opt for leather seats, while more budget-friendly cars may stick to simpler fabric seats. 3. However, the number and layout of vehicle seats must not be altered. Even if reported to vehicle management authorities, such changes will not be approved, as unauthorized modifications to the vehicle's internal structure or purpose constitute illegal modifications. If discovered during the annual inspection, vehicle management authorities may require the owner to restore the original setup. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the local vehicle management office before proceeding with any modifications.

How many kilometers can three bars of fuel run?

With three bars of fuel, a car can generally run about 150 kilometers. One small bar represents approximately 3L to 4L of fuel, so three small bars equate to around 10L. If the car's fuel consumption is 6L to 7L per 100 kilometers, running 150 kilometers with three small bars of fuel is feasible. However, when the fuel gauge shows only three bars, it indicates low fuel, and you should refuel as soon as possible. More details are as follows: 1. The distance a car can run depends on the model and engine displacement, as not all cars can run the same distance due to differences in model and displacement. 2. Simply put, if there is a small display on the dashboard showing the remaining distance, you can estimate the car's displacement from this information. 3. If the fuel gauge shows only three bars remaining, pay attention to the fuel level and avoid letting it get too low, as this can affect the car's cooling, lubrication, and fuel pump.

How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter of a Jeep Compass?

The cabin air filter model for the Jeep Compass is the SDBL31638 from Saint De Paul. Below are the steps to replace the cabin air filter for the Jeep Compass: 1. First, open the glove box cover. 2. Locate the fixing buckle on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward firmly. 3. Remove the fixing buckle of the glove box cover. 4. Use both hands to squeeze the sides of the glove box towards the center to detach it. 5. After removing the glove box, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press the fixing buckles on both sides of the cover firmly to remove it. 6. Pull the old cabin air filter outward and replace it with a new one. The cabin air filter ensures that the air conditioning system fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It also separates solid impurities like dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air, and absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc.

Where is the trunk switch located in a sedan?

Car trunk switch positions are as follows: 1. Key remote control (outside the car): Simply press the trunk opening button on the car key. Some models may not have a dedicated trunk button on the remote key, in which case pressing the unlock button will also release the trunk lock. 2. For models equipped with smart sensing keys, as long as the remote key is within a certain range (usually about 1 meter), pressing the switch on the trunk can directly open it. 3. Some models do not have a button for the trunk but instead feature a lever, typically located on the lower left side of the driver's seat or the lower left side of the steering wheel, marked with an icon of a car trunk opening.

What Happens If Car Engine Oil Is Not Changed on Time?

If engine oil is used for too long, it will lead to a decrease in oil viscosity, severe water-like thinning, and contain a large amount of metal debris and sludge, which will significantly affect the lifespan and stable operation of the car engine. This can cause irreversible damage to the engine. Therefore, it is recommended to change the oil regularly. Below are the specific hazards of not changing the oil for a long time: 1. Reduced Sealing Effect: High-quality oil with appropriate viscosity can effectively seal the gaps between the cylinder block and pistons, preventing gas leakage. If the oil is not changed for a long time, it will become water-like and lose its sealing function. 2. Reduced Cooling Effect: The heat absorption and thermal conductivity of oil are much higher than water. If the oil deteriorates severely, its cooling function will be greatly reduced. 3. Reduced Lubrication Effect: The viscosity of oil gives it strong adhesion, allowing it to form a protective film between gears, shafts, and other components, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear. Deteriorated oil largely loses this function. 4. Reduced Cleaning Effect: Friction between metal parts produces debris, and combustion generates impurities like carbon deposits. If the oil is not changed for a long time, these impurities will accumulate between engine components, posing a hazard to engine operation.
