Is an ID card required for driver's license renewal?

Yes, when applying for driver's license renewal upon its expiration, you must submit an ID card or temporary ID card; a household registration booklet cannot be used. Article 48 of the new traffic regulations stipulates: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the original license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. When applying, an application form must be filled out, and the following documents and certificates should be submitted: (1) The identity proof of the motor vehicle driver; (2) The motor vehicle driver's license; (3) A medical certificate on physical conditions issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regimental level. For those applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical certificate on physical conditions issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. The identity proof for residents is the 'Resident ID Card' or 'Temporary Resident ID Card'. For mainland residents living in temporary residences, the identity proof is the 'Resident ID Card' or 'Temporary Resident ID Card', along with the residence or temporary residence certificate issued by the public security authorities.

How Should Cars Be Replaced?

The vehicle replacement process involves a used car appraiser evaluating and pricing the car, while a sales consultant assists in selecting and ordering a new car. After negotiating the used car deal, a used car purchase and sale agreement and a replacement agreement are signed. The value of the old car will directly offset the cost of the new car. Once the owner pays the difference for the new car, the vehicle pickup procedures are completed. Car replacement means that regardless of the brand or age of your car, you can take it to a 4S dealership for evaluation. The old car is then exchanged for a new one. This is the replacement policy, commonly referred to as the trade-in policy. The benefits of replacement are that 4S dealerships purchase used cars according to the manufacturer's policy, making the process more formal. For consumers, buying a used car from a 4S dealership is safer, as there are no middlemen involved. The condition and quality of the used car are very transparent, eliminating concerns about not knowing how to sell a used car and getting stuck. Before the replacement policy was introduced, selling a used car first and then buying a new one was more cumbersome. Now, we only need to have the used car evaluated at a branded car dealership, where professionals can provide customers with professional and transparent vehicle evaluation and quotation services. For dealers, all procedures are convenient and fast.

How Long Should a Car Rest in Summer?

In summer, a car should rest after running for about 4 hours or 250 kilometers. During continuous driving, the temperature of the engine and tires will rise. Generally, after driving for about 4 hours or 250 kilometers, it's advisable to stop and rest for 20 minutes, stretching your limbs. Special attention should be paid to the radiator temperature and tire pressure. Vehicle Cooling System: The vehicle's cooling relies entirely on the cooling system. When the engine temperature is high, it operates in a large cycle where the coolant dissipates heat through the radiator before flowing back into the engine to cool it down. Although high-speed driving increases engine RPM and generates more heat, the cooling system's pressure also rises. However, the airflow through the radiator is greater, enhancing the coolant's heat dissipation efficiency. In some cases, even the high-speed fan may not need to operate to maintain optimal cooling conditions. This means the heat generated by the engine can be fully dissipated by the cooling system without causing overheating. This can also be observed from the coolant temperature gauge—no matter how long you drive at high speeds, the coolant temperature does not rise. As long as the coolant temperature remains normal, the engine temperature is also within safe limits, and prolonged driving won't cause issues. Airflow at the Radiator: The airflow at the radiator is strong, ensuring effective heat dissipation. However, the cooling system operates in a continuous large cycle. If there are minor issues with the water pump or excessive scale buildup in the coolant passages, it may hinder the coolant flow. While this may not cause problems during low-speed driving, high-speed driving with increased heat dissipation demands could lead to rising coolant temperatures.

Why can't the Civic trunk close?

The Civic trunk cannot close because the trunk door lock lacks internal lubrication, causing parts to jam and preventing normal operation. Below are specific details about the Civic: 1. Features: The Honda Civic (CIVIC) offers multiple models to cater to the preferences of consumers in different countries, including three-door hatchbacks, hardtop coupes, hybrid versions, and five-door sedan versions. The Honda Civic launched domestically shares the same production platform as the existing Dongfeng Honda model, the Honda CR-V. Both vehicles use the same chassis, which technically provides the prerequisite for the domestic production of the Honda Civic. 2. Exterior: The design is bold and stylish, with smooth body lines. The hatchback appearance has undergone significant changes compared to the older models.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD Qin Plus-DMI in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the BYD Qin Plus-DMI is 48 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the BYD Qin Plus-DMI can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The BYD Qin Plus-DMI uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.0L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 960 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity. This is because the tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity.
