The popular sedan in the 1990s was the Santana. Below is an introduction to the Santana: Historical Background: The Santana (SANTANA) sedan was a brand produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. Starting from 1985, after more than 20 years of production history, the ordinary Santana sedan (Santana 87) could be seen all over the country. Interior: Like its exterior, the new Santana's interior also focuses on simplicity and restraint, which is a consistent strength of Volkswagen. The two-tone color scheme makes the new Santana more suitable for its positioning as a family car. To meet cost requirements, the interior uses a large amount of plastic materials, which is understandable for Volkswagen's entry-level compact sedan. Wooden decorative strips are only available in high-end models.

In the 1990s, as a car owner who lived through that era, I clearly remember the popular sedans of the time. The most common sight on the streets was the Ford Taurus, with its sleek and avant-garde design, smooth driving experience, and great appeal to families. The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry were also hot choices because they were fuel-efficient and durable, rarely encountering minor issues even after hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Back then, with stable gasoline prices, people prioritized practicality and economy, making affordable cars like the Toyota Corolla quite popular. The interiors were simple yet functional, offering strong comfort. In terms of safety, ABS brakes and airbags began to become widespread by the late '90s, significantly enhancing safety. Personally, I drove an Accord and found it incredibly reliable—it never gave me any trouble for daily commuting. Overall, sedans in the '90s won over consumers with their reliability and affordable prices.

Is it better to buy 500,000 or 1,000,000 for third-party liability insurance?

This depends on your financial situation. Of course, the more coverage, the better, if you can afford it. The higher the coverage, the higher the maximum compensation amount in case of an accident. The premium calculation for third-party liability insurance is based on a fixed rate derived from the rate table, multiplied by the insurance company's discount rate, resulting in the final premium amount. The premium for third-party liability insurance is 561 yuan higher for 1,000,000 coverage than for 500,000 coverage. If there is a discount, the amount decreases proportionally. Car third-party liability insurance: 100,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 962 yuan, non-deductible 144.3 yuan; 200,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1191 yuan, non-deductible 178.64 yuan; 300,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1346 yuan, non-deductible 201.9 yuan; 500,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 1615 yuan, non-deductible 242.25 yuan; 1,000,000 coverage base premium: main insurance 2103 yuan, non-deductible 315.44 yuan.

How Many Liters of Antifreeze Does a Family Sedan Need

Family sedans generally require 4 to 6 liters of antifreeze, with the fluid level needing to be between the MAX and MIN lines. Methods for selecting antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. In the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is generally advisable to choose one that is at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Methods to determine if antifreeze is low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level scale markings on the antifreeze bottle. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum water level marks. Whether the antifreeze is low depends on the scale; if it is below the minimum water level, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.

What does the hazardous material vehicle type FL mean?

Hazardous material vehicle type FL generally refers to the items that tanker vehicles (typically hazardous material transport vehicles) are designed to carry. Documents from the State Council explicitly state that hazardous material transport vehicles must not change the type of cargo they transport. If the vehicle's designated cargo in the MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) announcement is gasoline, it can only transport gasoline; if it's ethanol, it can only transport ethanol. Functions of tanker transport vehicles: Tanker specialized transport vehicles. For transporting hazardous chemicals in liquid form, such as flammable, explosive, or toxic substances, specialized tanker trucks are generally used. Common tank shapes include elliptical, square-round, and circular. Advantages of tanker transport vehicles: These vehicles are usually made of carbon steel with liners or stainless steel plates, equipped with multiple full-plastic anti-wave baffles inside. They undergo high-pressure airtightness tests, featuring high tank strength, stable center of gravity, and safe, smooth transport. They are also equipped with driving recorders and positioning systems. The vehicle body is sturdy and tightly sealed, with clear, standardized, and easily identifiable markings on the steel exterior.

Which Should Be Released First: Handbrake or P Gear?

You should release the handbrake first before shifting out of P gear. For automatic transmission startup: Insert the key and ignite, first engage the handbrake, then shift gears. Additionally, vehicles with electronic handbrakes require the ECU to detect the brake pedal being pressed before releasing the handbrake. Otherwise, pressing the handbrake button will have no effect. For automatic transmission parking: First shift out of gear, then engage the handbrake, remove the key, exit the vehicle, and lock the door. Below is the startup sequence for automatic transmission: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles only have two pedals: the accelerator and the brake. The left pedal is the brake, and the right is the accelerator—this order must be clearly remembered. Before starting the car, first press the left brake pedal. 2. Insert the key and start the vehicle. 3. Check if the car's dashboard is functioning normally, look for any warning lights, and confirm that the fuel gauge shows sufficient fuel. 4. Press the brake with your right foot and release the handbrake with your right hand. 5. Shift the gear from P to D (note: keep your right foot on the brake at this time). 6. Release the brake, move your right foot to the accelerator pedal, and gently press to move forward.

What Are the Effects of Not Applying Film to a New Car?

Not applying film to a new car will not have any significant impact on the vehicle, and it is perfectly fine to skip it if you prefer. Many car owners prioritize applying film as their first task after purchasing a new car. However, it is unnecessary to apply film on the front windshield, as this may impair nighttime driving visibility. In fact, the front windshield already has built-in UV protection, eliminating the need for additional film. Here are some key considerations when applying film: 1. Some meticulous car owners opt to apply a transparent protective film, commonly known as a "paint protection film" or "clear bra," to safeguard the car's paint. When applying such films, it is crucial to choose reputable brands and have them installed by professionals. Poor installation may result in bubbles or eventual peeling. 2. When applying film to the side windows of the driver and front passenger seats, it is advisable to leave two small openings to ensure clear visibility of the side mirrors. Additionally, avoid rolling the windows up or down immediately after applying film to the door windows, as this may cause the film to peel. Many car owners also opt for full-body color-changing films, which require registration with the local vehicle management office and updating the vehicle's registration photo. When selecting such films, always choose high-quality products to avoid damaging the car's paint.

What happens if you refuel a car without turning off the engine?

When a car is not turned off, the operation of its instruments and equipment generates a significant amount of heat. This causes the gasoline inside the vehicle to evaporate more quickly, increasing the concentration of the fuel-air mixture near the fuel tank. Since this mixture is denser than air, it does not disperse easily. When the concentration of fuel vapor reaches a certain level, any spark produced by the running engine could potentially ignite and cause an explosion. Additionally, while the vehicle is running, the exhaust pipe continues to emit waste gases. Not only is the exhaust pipe extremely hot, but it may also emit sparks, which can pose a risk of igniting the gasoline. Below are some precautions to take when refueling: 1. At gas stations, smoking, making phone calls, refueling with the engine running, and slapping synthetic fiber clothing (which can generate static electricity) are all prohibited. 2. Smoking involves an open flame, so even if you remain in the car, you should extinguish any cigarettes. Phone calls can interfere with the electronic equipment at gas stations or generate electronic friction that may ignite fuel vapors. Besides open flames, gas stations are also wary of static electricity, which is most likely to be generated by synthetic fiber clothing. Therefore, avoid slapping your clothes while refueling.
