Get out of the car to assess the scratch damage, take a photo of the scratched areas at the front and rear of the car as evidence. Check if the other vehicle is parked illegally. If it is and you want to claim the damage under your own scratch insurance, you will need to call the police. If there are surveillance cameras, you won't be able to escape if caught. The owner may report to the police, and you will have to compensate for the damages, or even face legal consequences in serious cases. If you are in a hurry to attend to other matters, write your phone number on a note and place it under the other vehicle's windshield wiper for later negotiation and resolution.

How to Match the Sunroof of Tiguan with 431?

The sunroof must be fully closed, and the manual crank can be used to close the sunroof. Hold down the round switch of the sunroof for a few seconds until the sunroof starts to open and close automatically. If the sunroof occasionally opens automatically, replacing the sunroof switch will solve the issue. The car sunroof is installed on the roof, which can effectively circulate the air inside the car and increase the intake of fresh air.

How long does the state regulate private cars to be scrapped?

National laws and regulations have abolished the service life limit for private cars and replaced it with a mandatory scrapping policy based on a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. According to relevant regulations: small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles and large non-operating sedans are subject to scrapping after traveling 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized non-operating passenger vehicles after 500,000 kilometers, and large non-operating passenger vehicles after 600,000 kilometers. The state guides the scrapping of motor vehicles that reach certain mileage limits. Even if a vehicle has reached 600,000 kilometers, it can still be driven as usual if it passes the annual inspection smoothly. However, it must be noted that the vehicle must undergo four on-site inspections per year for review. When processing the scrapping of a car, the owner can apply to retain the license plate, provided that the car must have belonged to the owner for at least 3 years, and the application must be submitted within 6 months after the car is scrapped.

What does it mean when Buick displays 'Please Service Battery Charging System'?

When the car dashboard displays the message 'Please check the charging system,' it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical system, requiring inspection and repair at an automotive service center. Below are more related details: 1. Cause Analysis: Since the car's battery cannot provide long-term power to the vehicle's electrical system, the battery needs to be charged. When the car's engine is running, it supplies power to the battery and charges it with alternating current. If the car's charging system malfunctions, it means there is an issue in the process of the engine supplying power to the battery, which requires immediate attention at a service center. 2. Maintenance of the Vehicle Charging System: The grounding polarity of the battery must match that of the generator. Both domestic and imported alternators use negative grounding, so the battery must also be negatively grounded. Otherwise, the battery will discharge a high current through the diodes, potentially burning them out. When the generator is running, avoid using spark testing to check if the generator is producing electricity, as this can easily damage the diodes and other electronic components.

How to Control the Speed of an Automatic Transmission Vehicle in Subject 2 to Keep It Slow Without Stopping?

Methods to control the speed of an automatic transmission vehicle in Subject 2 to keep it slow without stopping are as follows: 1. Speed control method: To control the speed slow without stopping, it is necessary to analyze different situations separately, as the operation of an automatic transmission differs from that of a manual transmission. 2. Operation techniques for different vehicle types: For automatic transmission vehicles, controlling the speed slow without stopping is very simple because there is no need to worry about stalling. Simply shift the gear to D (Drive) and let the vehicle move naturally without pressing the accelerator. 3. For manual transmission vehicles, the key is to control the clutch pedal properly. The gear should undoubtedly be in 1st gear, which is self-explanatory. Normally, with the gear in 1st, releasing the brake pedal and the clutch pedal will allow the vehicle to move. In this state, similar to an automatic transmission in D gear, the vehicle is maintained by the engine's idle speed, and the speed at this point is the slowest possible speed for the vehicle.
