For cars purchased from auto trade companies, maintenance can be done at the same auto trade company. If you buy a car from an auto trade mall, you can have it serviced at the seller's shop. Generally, maintenance is required every 5,000 kilometers. The air contains a large amount of dust, sand, and acidic substances, which not only easily adhere to leaked fuel but also impair the heat dissipation performance of components. After the vehicle is cleaned, it is necessary to tighten all connections. Due to vibrations, bumps, and jolts during driving, connections inevitably become loose and wear out.

How to Judge the Distance of the Rear Car from the Rearview Mirror?

Methods to determine the distance of the rear car from the rearview mirror are as follows: 1. Observe the size: The larger the size of the rear car in the rearview mirror, the closer it is to the front car; the smaller the size, the farther it is from the front car. 2. Observe the proportion of the rearview mirror occupied: If the rear car occupies almost the entire rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 3m; if it occupies about 2/3 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 5m; if it occupies about 1/2 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 9m; if it occupies about 1/3 of the rearview mirror, the distance is approximately 12m. 3. Observe the inner and outer sides of the rearview mirror: If the rear car is located on the outer side of the rearview mirror, it indicates that the rear car is very close to the front car. If the rear car is located on the inner side of the rearview mirror, it means the rear car is farther from the front car.

Is the driver card universally compatible with all vehicles?

Driver cards are universally compatible with all vehicles. Below is an introduction to driver card-related information: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the regulations, each Beidou driver can only apply for one card, which can be used for one card per vehicle or one card for multiple vehicles. However, it is not allowed for one driver to apply for multiple cards, as this is illegal. Having multiple cards for one driver may lead to missed judgments by traffic police when checking for driver fatigue. Moreover, using multiple cards to switch drivers poses traffic safety risks due to potential driver fatigue. 2. Consequences of misuse: According to the "Road Transport Vehicle Dynamic Supervision and Management Measures," if there are actions such as damaging devices, interfering with or blocking signals, forging, tampering with, or deleting data, the offender will be ordered to make corrections and fined between 2,000 and 5,000. Therefore, if a driver lends their card to someone else and the user is caught by traffic police, they will be fined between 2,000 and 5,000 for forging or tampering with Beidou data. Since each driver can only use their own Beidou card, using someone else's Beidou card may raise suspicions of one person applying for multiple cards.

Why doesn't the electric car move after braking and applying power?

Here are the reasons why an electric car doesn't move after braking and applying power: 1. Damaged electronic components: The Hall sensor inside the accelerator (throttle) is damaged. The accelerator is crucial for electric cars, and the Hall sensor is vital for the accelerator, so damage to the Hall sensor will directly cause the vehicle to have no response when pressing the throttle even if there is power. To check if the Hall sensor is damaged, you can examine its rated voltage and current to see if they are within the specified range. Values above or below this range will cause the Hall sensor to malfunction. 2. Brake system failure: The brake power-off system is stuck or not reset, causing the brake system to remain engaged. In this case, the throttle may show "no response." Alternatively, there might be a broken control circuit or a faulty controller. The controller starts working after receiving the signal from the throttle. If the controller is short-circuited or faulty, the throttle naturally won't respond. 3. Motor failure: A motor failure will directly prevent the vehicle from operating, making the throttle useless. Identifying a motor failure is simple, as it is usually accompanied by smoke, sparks, or excessive temperature. Observing any of these signs indicates a motor failure. In such cases, it's necessary to visit a repair shop for maintenance.

Can the Original License Plate Be Retained During Vehicle Transfer?

For second-hand car transfers, the original license plate can be retained, but the plate itself cannot be transferred. The latest regulations on license plate retention: The original license plate can be retained if the vehicle has been used for at least one year, with a retention period of up to one year; the original plate can also be retained in cases of vehicle transfer, cancellation, or relocation; applications for retention can be made whether purchasing a second-hand car or a new car; all traffic violation records of the original vehicle must be settled before retention. The process for retaining the original license plate is as follows: The vehicle owner needs to prepare the "Motor Vehicle Transfer or Registration Application Form," the owner's ID card and a copy (non-local residents must also bring a residence permit), proof of the vehicle's origin, the vehicle's purchase tax payment or tax exemption certificate, the vehicle's annual inspection certificate, and relevant documents submitted during the vehicle's initial registration (for imported vehicles, additional documents such as the import certificate, the vehicle's complete factory qualification certificate, and the compulsory insurance certificate are required). The owner can then proceed to the relevant DMV window to complete the process of retaining the original license plate.

When Should the Purchase Tax Be Paid for a New Car?

The purchase tax for a new car must be paid within 60 days at the latest. According to Article 13 of the Provisional Regulations on Vehicle Purchase Tax of the People's Republic of China, taxpayers who purchase taxable vehicles for personal use must declare and pay the tax within 60 days from the date of purchase, and the vehicle purchase tax must be paid in one lump sum. This means that car owners must declare the tax within 60 days of purchasing the vehicle. If the vehicle purchased is an imported car, the declaration must also be made within 60 days of purchase. The payment of the vehicle purchase tax is a one-time lump sum, with the following relevant details: 1. Policy: The new policy states that from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017, passenger vehicles with a displacement of 1.6 liters or below are subject to a vehicle purchase tax rate of 7.5%. Starting from January 1, 2018, the statutory tax rate of 10% for vehicle purchase tax will be reinstated. 2. Vehicle purchase tax should be paid before license plate registration: It is not necessary to wait until the license plate is suitable for registration to pay the tax because the vehicle purchase tax does not require a license plate number. If the vehicle purchase tax is not paid within the prescribed period, a late fee of 0.05% of the overdue tax will be charged daily from the date of default.
