After a traffic accident, if the parties involved have no dispute over the cause of the accident, they should promptly leave the scene to prevent traffic disruption. Subsequently, both parties can negotiate compensation matters on their own. If an agreement cannot be reached, they should promptly call the police, and the traffic police will issue an accident liability determination certificate following a simplified procedure. If the collision does not result in personal injury or death, and the parties involved have no dispute over the facts and causes, they should record the time and location of the accident, the other party's name and contact information, vehicle license plate number, driver's license number, insurance certificate number, and collision details, then sign jointly before leaving the scene to negotiate compensation matters on their own. If the parties involved have disputes over the facts and causes of the traffic accident, they should quickly call the police.

What's the reason for Volvo's start-stop function failure?

Volvo's start-stop function failure may be due to the car's oil temperature and water temperature not meeting the conditions for activating the automatic start-stop function, or it could be caused by insufficient charging of the car's battery or motor, affecting the normal operation of the function. Here is some information about Volvo's start-stop function: 1. Operating conditions: The start-stop function has certain requirements and will only activate when the engine is not under heavy load. 2. Purpose: It is mainly used not at high speeds but when the car is moving at low speeds or repeatedly stopping. It helps automatically shut off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption, reduces the car's idle time, and consequently decreases engine carbon buildup. These factors were the basis for its development.

How to Inspect Your Car After Repair at a 4S Shop?

First, check the car chassis and battery. Bend down to see if there are any oil spots on the ground or oil stains on the chassis. After starting the car for three minutes and then turning it off, pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a tissue to check the oil color. Listen carefully to the engine sound from a distance and up close to check if there are any abnormal noises inside the engine. Inspect all wire connections carefully to see if they are loose or shaking. Examine the overall appearance of the car, ensuring the door gaps are even, and also check if the glass is original.

Why is there no Cadillac in Europe?

Europe does not have Cadillac because this rugged American luxury car, as perceived, is difficult to align with the local understated and frugal consumption philosophy and narrow streets. Here are some details about Cadillac: 1. European market's perception of Cadillac: American brands have relatively low recognition in Europe, where the hierarchy of car brands in the minds of Europeans is European brands, followed by Japanese and Korean brands, and then American brands. European market users are particularly discerning about new car handling, fuel consumption, and craftsmanship. 2. Reasons for the absence of Cadillac in Europe: Even if Cadillac achieves dual superiority in fuel economy and handling, and its ATS luxury sedan and large CTS model, specifically designed for the European market, have reached parity with European cars in various aspects, the deeply entrenched prestige of German luxury brands in their home market is hard to shake. Cadillac could only muster its strength here, only to wane and then exhaust.

Can the car be started after water recedes from the exhaust pipe?

Yes, the car can be started after water recedes from the exhaust pipe. When water just submerges the exhaust pipe, it cannot enter the engine cylinders. After the water recedes, the water level in the exhaust pipe will definitely drop again, meaning the farther it is from the exhaust outlet, the less likely it is for the water to be sucked back into the engine when starting the car. Method for starting after water recedes: Ignite and start the car, let it idle without pressing the accelerator. During this time, a lot of water will be expelled from the exhaust pipe until it stops dripping, which takes about 8 minutes. Precautions when starting the vehicle: First, turn the ignition switch to the second position (ON) to light up the dashboard and check if the indicators are normal. Lightly press the accelerator pedal once and release it to ensure the throttle valve opens briefly for smooth air intake. Also, check if the heater, audio system, and headlights are turned off to reduce electrical load during startup. Wait a few seconds to allow the anti-theft authentication to complete and for the fuel pump to build up sufficient oil pressure, which facilitates starting the vehicle, reduces startup time, and avoids damage to the battery and starter. Effects of a flooded car: A water-soaked car is highly prone to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance. Water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden engine shutdown or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving. The repair costs for water-damaged vehicles are very expensive; in cases of severe flooding, repair expenses may exceed 50% of the car's original value.

Does the vehicle owner need to be present for the transfer and re-registration of a car?

The transfer and re-registration of a vehicle must be done by the original owner.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Rubbing: Obtain a rubbing card and perform the VIN rubbing at the transfer hall, indicating that the vehicle is being relocated. 2. Valuation: Present the vehicle's license, registration certificate, VIN rubbing, invoice or transfer ticket to have the vehicle appraised, noting its relocation. 3. Obtaining a Processing Number: Select the relocation option at the hall entrance based on the vehicle number. 4. Submitting Documents: Similar to local transfers, but additional documents include the VIN rubbing and a copy of the vehicle license.
