Solutions for opening the car hood when the battery is dead: In the case of a dead battery, you can use the key for mechanical unlocking. There is a keyhole on the front doors. Under the main driver's fuse box, there is a yellow crescent-shaped handle—pulling it will open the front hood. Functions of the car hood: 1. Airflow guidance; 2. Protection for the engine and surrounding pipeline fittings; 3. Assistance in driving visibility; 4. Accident prevention. The car hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, which not only reduces engine noise but also isolates the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint on the hood surface and preventing aging.

What Does the Vehicle Identification Number Represent?

Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, is a unique set of seventeen letters or numbers used on automobiles to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other specifications of the vehicle. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters "I", "O", and "Q" are not used. The 10th digit, representing the model year, does not use "I", "O", "Q", "U", "Z", or "0". More details are as follows: 1. There are specific rules for interpreting vehicle information through the VIN. Illegal characters include O, Q, and I. The letter Z is not valid in the model year position. The ninth digit can only be a number from 0 to 9 or the uppercase letter X. The last four digits must all be numbers and cannot be letters. 2. The VIN standard can be used to analyze vehicle configurations. Digits four to eight represent the engine and transmission model, which must match the information on the assembly nameplate without discrepancies. In terms of vehicle body styles, many vehicles typically have corresponding configurations and shapes. 3. This information also indicates the number of doors and windows, loading characteristics, and other details. For example, a sedan usually has two doors and four windows, while an MPV model has five doors and can be a hatchback, light truck, or heavy truck.

What Does the Auto Start-Stop Light Indicate?

If the auto start-stop light is on, it indicates that the vehicle's auto start-stop function has been turned off, as this feature is enabled by default. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move again. In English, this system is referred to as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. More details are as follows: 1. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates there is enough energy for the next start. 2. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, which activates the 'start stopper' and quickly restarts the engine. 3. In automatic transmission models, as soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine automatically ignites again, allowing the driver to immediately press the accelerator to start moving, all while remaining in D (Drive) gear.

Is 15W40 Oil Suitable for All Seasons?

Generally, 15W40 is considered an all-season oil that can be used throughout the year. When used correctly, 15W40 oil will not harm the engine. More information about 15W40 oil is as follows: 1. 15W40 oil is suitable for use in temperatures above -20°C. Since oil has a certain freezing point and viscosity, which determine its applicable temperature range, and considering the significant temperature differences between the north and south of China in winter, the suitability of 15W40 oil depends on the local temperature conditions in both summer and winter. 2. The meaning of 15W40: The number before the W indicates the oil's low-temperature fluidity, or the minimum temperature at which the oil can be used. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature fluidity and the lower the minimum applicable temperature. 15 indicates that the oil can be used at a minimum temperature of -20°C, but its low-temperature fluidity is relatively average. 40 represents the oil's viscosity value, indicating that it is a relatively high-viscosity oil with good high-temperature protection performance.

What is the car purchase tax for sedans?

Automobile purchase tax is calculated based on the transaction price. The taxable price for taxpayers purchasing self-use taxable vehicles is the total payment and additional fees paid by the taxpayer to the seller for the taxable vehicle, excluding value-added tax (VAT). Currently, the automobile purchase tax rate is 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax), and the VAT rate is 13%. The taxable price of the vehicle is the total amount actually paid by the taxpayer to the seller (i.e., the "price excluding tax" on the bottom line of the invoice), which does not include VAT. Therefore, depending on the different invoice price scenarios, the calculation methods for vehicle purchase tax can be divided into the following two types: 1. When the invoice price is the "total amount including tax," the calculation formula is: Purchase tax = Total amount including tax ÷ 1.13 × 10%; 2. When the invoice price is the "price excluding tax," the calculation formula is: Purchase tax = Price excluding tax × 10%.
