It can be reissued. Losing the car maintenance manual does not affect the warranty. The reasons are explained below: 1. The maintenance manual is not a warranty certificate: The maintenance manual is only a booklet for the owner's reference, where the owner can learn about its contents. The maintenance manual mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 2. The maintenance manual can be reissued: If the car was purchased from an authorized 4S store, there will be a record in the manufacturer's connected system after the purchase, and it can be queried through the vehicle's VIN. The maintenance manual can be reissued.

Last time I lost my car maintenance manual, as a veteran driver with decades of experience, I think this is quite common. Don’t panic—the manual mainly records maintenance schedules and part specifications, so losing it isn’t a big deal. You can directly contact your car dealer or 4S shop, as they usually have electronic backups and can help you download or print a new copy. Many brand websites also offer PDF downloads; just enter your VIN. Personally, I prefer using mobile apps like "CarCare" to track maintenance records, which automatically remind me of the next oil change—more convenient than a paper manual. If you really can’t find it, create a small logbook to jot down each maintenance detail, including part models and dates. Developing a habit of regular checks can save a lot of trouble, so remember to back up important documents. If specific info from the manual is missing, ask a friend at the repair shop—they’re experienced. In short, don’t skip maintenance just because the manual is lost; safety comes first.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the City in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the City is 40 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for the City is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5.4-5.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 714-740 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What should be noted when replacing the front windshield?

After replacing the front windshield, the following points should be noted: 1. Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield, and remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. 2. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, and avoid emergency braking and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard. 4. Do not drive on highways, and keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h. 5. Do not apply window film within seven days. Methods for maintaining the car windshield: 1. Proper use of windshield washer fluid: In daily windshield maintenance, choose windshield washer fluid reasonably according to the season and weather. 2. Apply film to the windshield: When selecting the UV protection index of the heat-insulating film, the higher the better, as it can protect the dashboard components from premature aging due to prolonged sun exposure. 3. Purchase glass insurance for the car: Glass breakage insurance is a commercial insurance where the insurance company is responsible for compensating for the loss of the insured vehicle's glass during use. 4. Regularly clean the wipers: Because dust in the air and oil stains from vehicle exhaust will adhere to the windshield and wiper blades over time, increasing the friction during wiping, which can cause scratches on the windshield.

Can Motorcycles with Modified Projector Headlights Pass the Annual Inspection?

Motorcycles with modified projector headlights can pass the annual inspection. As long as the brightness of the headlights meets the requirements, modifying the projector itself is not illegal. The motorcycle inspection line mainly checks the effectiveness of all lights and braking performance. The annual vehicle inspection is primarily based on the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB7258-2012 "Safety Technical Specifications for Motor Vehicle Operation". Exterior Inspection: The exterior inspection mainly checks whether the vehicle's appearance is damaged, whether it matches the original vehicle's appearance, and whether there are obvious modifications. For many young motorcycle riders today, there are numerous modifications to vehicle components. For example, many motorcycle enthusiasts like to modify the exhaust system or install crash bars. Some regions allow these modifications to pass, while others do not and require the vehicle to be restored to its original condition. Therefore, riders should refer to the strictness of motorcycle annual inspections in their local area. Emissions Testing: Emissions testing is a mandatory item for all motor vehicles. Before the test, the staff will verify whether the motorcycle's serial number matches the one on the vehicle registration certificate and briefly inspect the overall appearance of the vehicle. Then, the emissions test begins. Generally, motorcycles have a very high pass rate for emissions tests, unless the vehicle is in poor condition due to long-term neglect.

Can I Buy Tires That Have Been in Stock for 3 Years?

Tires that have been in stock for three years cannot be used because the service life of tires is generally around 2-3 years or 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Tires are consumables for a car, just like brake pads, engine oil, and oil filters, and they will wear out with increased mileage, eventually needing replacement. When replacing new tires, many people not only pay attention to performance factors such as grip, drainage, comfort, wear resistance, and noise but also consider the price, which plays a decisive role. Pay Attention to the Tire Date: The production date of the tire is also marked on the sidewall. First, look for the letters "DOT," followed by a box containing four numbers, such as 1417, which indicates the tire was produced in the 14th week of 2017, while 2415 means the 24th week of 2015. When replacing new tires, it's best not to choose tires with a production date older than two years, but there's no need to insist on the very latest date—tires around one year old will not affect normal use. Choose the Right Tire Tread: Tires from the same brand also come with different tread patterns. The tread on a car tire not only provides grip and drainage but also enhances wear resistance and reduces noise through different tread designs. Car owners can choose the tread pattern based on their needs.

What does it mean to cross the line in the reversing test of Subject 2?

Crossing the line means the vehicle body exceeds the boundary lines. In the Subject 2 driving test, if the vehicle body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted, resulting in failure of the current test. In addition to crossing the line, other actions that will deduct 100 points include failing to fully enter the parking space during reversing, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the time limit. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, 10 points, and 5 points. The test is considered passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.
