Procedures required for car loan application are as follows: 1. Vehicle Purchase Contract: The vehicle purchase contract is a formal sales agreement signed between the buyer and the dealer, serving as a basis to protect the rights and interests of both parties. 2. Other Procedures: (1) Industrial and Commercial Verification: Official vehicle purchase invoice and the manufacturer-provided vehicle quality certificate. (2) Applying for a Vehicle Movement Permit: Vehicles without license plates cannot be driven on the road. After verification, the buyer must also apply for a vehicle movement permit from the traffic police department. (3) Applying for a Vehicle License: Prepare two photos of the new vehicle; temporary driving license; registration card; road maintenance fee receipt. (4) Paying Vehicle and Vessel Usage Tax: File records at the surcharge collection office and have the surcharge certificate stamped with a record mark, then go to the local tax bureau (or its on-site collection office at the time of purchase) to pay the vehicle and vessel usage tax and receive the tax plate.

I was really excited when I got my first car loan, but the process turned out to be much more complicated than I expected. You'll need to prepare basic documents like copies of both sides of your ID card, bank statements for the last six months to prove your income, and income verification or tax returns from your employer. Proof of address is also required, such as utility bills or a copy of your lease agreement. They'll check your credit report too—if your credit score is below 600, your application might get rejected, so paying off small loans or credit card debts a few months in advance can really help. Additionally, in most cases, you'll need to provide a car purchase intent letter or a draft contract, which the bank will use to calculate the loan amount. Before applying, it's wise to estimate your down payment—putting down 20% or more can ease your monthly payment burden, and opting for a fixed interest rate makes things simpler. The approval process usually takes one or two days, so just be patient and make sure you don’t miss any documents. Key factors affecting approval include income stability and credit history—young applicants often get rejected due to lack of experience, which is why I emphasize thorough preparation beforehand to avoid wasting time on repeated submissions and corrections.

What Causes the Malfunction Indicator Light to Illuminate in a New Car?

New car malfunction indicator light illumination can be attributed to the following reasons. 1. When the ignition switch is turned on, dashboard indicator lights will illuminate as part of the vehicle's self-diagnosis system and should automatically turn off after a period. 2. Engine malfunction light indicates poor combustion condition, engine knocking, substandard fuel quality, or excessive engine carbon buildup. 3. Battery warning light signals battery depletion/failure or power system malfunction. 4. Oil warning light indicates insufficient oil level, excessive engine temperature, improper oil selection, or blocked oil passages. 5. Tire pressure warning light suggests tire puncture/leakage or damaged tire pressure sensor. 6. Brake system warning light indicates engaged parking brake, ABS failure, non-compliant brake fluid, or brake system abnormality. 7.

Will adding too much engine oil affect the engine?

Adding too much engine oil can have several negative effects on the engine, including the following aspects. 1. Increased fuel consumption and reduced power. If too much oil is added, the oil level becomes too high, causing a significant portion of the crankshaft to be submerged in the oil. This increases rotational resistance as the crankshaft churns the oil. 2. Accelerated carbon buildup and damage to certain car components. As the crankshaft churns the oil, a large amount of oil can be splashed onto the pistons and cylinder walls, entering the combustion chamber and burning. Carbon buildup has long-term effects on power and fuel efficiency. 3. Oil leakage from the crankshaft oil seal and shortened oil lifespan. The excessive churning of oil increases pressure inside the crankcase, which acts on the crankshaft oil seal, accelerating its aging and deformation, ultimately leading to leaks. It also speeds up the oxidation and degradation of the oil, shortening its service life. 4. Worsened exhaust emissions, severely affecting the lifespan of the catalytic converter, and may even directly damage it.

What does the ECO on the car dashboard mean?

The ECO on the vehicle dashboard refers to the car's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed from the words Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. The Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light turns on, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco mode automatically evaluates your driving behavior; if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable the Eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. In such scenarios, activating the Eco mode would not only fail to demonstrate its fuel-saving characteristics but also affect the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such cases.

Can High Beam Headlights Be Used on Highways?

High beam headlights can be used on highways. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. According to Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," high beam headlights can be used on roads without street lighting or with poor illumination. When the vehicle speed exceeds 30 kilometers per hour, high beams should be prioritized. On highways, where the minimum speed is 60 kilometers per hour, using high beams is both reasonable and legal. 2. High beam headlights can effectively distinguish objects. When driving at night, high beams illuminate a longer distance, providing the driver with a clearer field of vision. Night driving limits the driver's visibility, making it difficult to judge road conditions and surroundings outside the vehicle. Therefore, using high beams on highways at night helps in better identifying objects. 3. It helps avoid missing exits. At night, a driver's visibility is worse than during the day. If low beams are used, the field of vision becomes shorter, often leading to missed highway exits. Using high beams provides a broader view, reducing the likelihood of taking the wrong exit. 4. High beams help spot obstacles on the road. Drivers familiar with highways know that speeds are generally high. If cargo falls off a truck ahead or there are road obstacles at night, high beams allow the driver to observe the road ahead more clearly, providing enough time to avoid hazards. Using low beams in such situations increases the risk of accidents. 5. When driving at high speeds, high beams illuminate a longer distance compared to low beams. The recognition distance and confirmation distance—the distance at which you can see and clearly identify objects ahead—are greater with high beams than with low beams.
