When you scrape a little paint off someone else's car while reversing, you can resolve the dispute through insurance and third-party liability insurance. The extent of the paint damage should be assessed to determine the necessary touch-up. If the damage is severe or the other car owner is not present, you can call the traffic police (e.g., dial 122) to handle the situation. Below is relevant information about car paint touch-up: 1. If the scratch is severe, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the steel plate from rusting. When touching up the paint, ensure you use paint produced by a reputable manufacturer and hire a qualified professional painter. The paint used for touch-ups should be low-temperature baked, not the original high-temperature baked paint. 2. The touch-up paint color should be adjusted to closely match the current color of the car. Over time, car paint fades, so relying solely on the original factory color may result in noticeable differences. Therefore, the paint should be mixed on-site to achieve the best match for the current vehicle color. Additionally, choose a qualified and professional paint shop for the touch-up.

Does a car need an annual inspection in its ninth year?

No, here are the detailed explanations: Introduction: For private cars (excluding vans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the annual inspection cycle has been adjusted to once every two years. This means inspections are required in the 6th and 8th years, while the 7th and 9th years do not require inspections. Expansion: The new regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections came into effect on November 20, 2020. Previously, inspections needed to be conducted again within the validity period of the annual inspection. However, after this inspection, the vehicle can obtain an annual inspection certificate valid for two years according to the new regulations. It is important to note that for private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for cars between 10 and 15 years old, and once every six months for cars over 15 years old.

What is the difference between Toyota Prado H4 and L4?

"H4" stands for High-speed 4WD, while "L4" stands for Low-speed 4WD. Here are the relevant details: 1. Usage Difference: High-speed 4WD is suitable for driving on gravel roads, muddy surfaces, snow, and sandy terrain. The maximum speed is generally limited to within 80 km/h. Low-speed 4WD provides higher torque, making it more powerful, and is suitable for off-roading, climbing steep slopes, descending steep inclines, and escaping difficult situations. It is rarely used for continuous driving. When using 4L, it's best to start in 1st gear and avoid shifting to gears higher than 2nd, while also keeping the speed relatively low. 2. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD): "4WD" refers to a vehicle that maintains four-wheel drive throughout its operation, with the engine's output torque distributed to the front and rear wheels at a fixed ratio. This drive mode ensures good off-road and handling performance at all times but cannot adjust torque distribution based on road conditions and tends to have higher fuel consumption.

Why doesn't the electric vehicle light up after inserting the key?

Here are some reasons why the electric vehicle lights may not turn on: Relay failure: If all the lights do not turn on, there is a high probability of a wiring issue or a problem with the relay switch. If only one light does not turn on while the other does, it is most likely a bulb failure or poor contact. Fuse damage: When the headlights fail to turn on, it could also be due to a blown fuse causing an open circuit. Insufficient battery power: Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position; for one-button start models, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake. Turn on the headlights, and if the light noticeably dims or does not turn on at all, and the horn sounds significantly weaker than usual or does not sound at all, it can be judged as insufficient battery power. In such cases, you can seek help from nearby vehicle owners for emergency measures such as jump-starting, borrowing fuel, or towing.
