The diagnostic connector for the Citroën C5 is located inside the armrest (central storage box). Open the armrest to find a rectangular black cover; removing it will reveal the connector. The vehicle diagnostic tool connects to the car via this diagnostic port. Using the tool's operating system and built-in software compatible with the car model, it reads vehicle data. By cross-referencing fault codes and leveraging experience, it accurately identifies the fault and its specifics. The Citroën C5 is a mid-size sedan with dimensions of 4825mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1480mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2815mm. It employs a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension.

What are the criteria for determining accidents in the 'return one and compensate three' policy for used cars?

According to the requirements of the 'Used Car Circulation Management Measures,' the conditions for returning a used car must involve the seller's concealment and fraud that prevents the transfer registration from being processed. The seller's concealment of facts generally refers to issues such as the car having been in an accident, water damage, fire damage, problems with documentation, or unclear ownership. Additionally, clear evidence is required to return the car. Here is some relevant information about used cars: Introduction: A used car refers to a motor vehicle that has been registered with the public security traffic management authorities, has not yet reached the national scrapping standards or is within its economic service life, and can still be used. Precautions: When buying a used car, you should carefully observe aspects such as the car's manufacturing date, actual mileage, whether it has been involved in a major accident, and whether the previous owner maintained the vehicle properly.

What does it mean when a used car is only sold locally?

To prevent vicious competition among 4S stores in different regions, the state has strictly stipulated restrictions on sales areas. 'Used cars only sold locally' means that consumers who purchase vehicles from this dealer must register and license the car in the same city. Below are some precautions for buying used cars: Carefully inspect the body: Check if the body has been damaged in a collision. Stand at one corner of the front of the car and look towards the rear, observing the seams of the body. If they are not straight, the gaps vary in size, the lines are curved, or the decorative strips are falling off or appear mismatched, it may indicate that the car has been in an accident or undergone repairs. Carefully inspect the interior: Worn pedal mats, very dirty seats, and worn door handles all suggest that the car has traveled a considerable distance. If the seller provides seat covers, be sure to check the original seat cushions.

How Long is the Warranty for Used Cars?

Below is the warranty period for used cars of different ages: Young used cars: Also commonly referred to as nearly-new cars, these are typically 1-2 years old. The mileage of such used cars generally does not exceed 60,000 kilometers, and the vehicles themselves are relatively new. The advantage of buying this type of car is that it is still within the original manufacturer's warranty period, allowing you to continue enjoying free factory warranty for some time in the future. Youthful used cars: Generally, these cars are 3-6 years old, with mileage not exceeding 120,000 kilometers. These cars may have minor flaws, and due to the absence of original factory warranty, some wear and tear, and higher mileage, they are significantly cheaper than nearly-new cars. Middle-aged used cars: These are between 6-15 years old, with mileage around 300,000 kilometers. This category includes many classic and nostalgic models in the used car market, but they come without any warranty.

What does used car reconditioning mean?

Used car reconditioning means thoroughly inspecting a purchased used car for any issues and addressing them if found. Below is relevant information about buying used cars: Solutions for issues with used cars: According to Chinese used car laws, general used cars do not come with quality guarantees, but contracts must be signed during transactions. The contract must clearly describe any existing problems with the used car, such as if it has been in a major accident or is a repaired vehicle from a significant incident. If the seller conceals the true condition of the vehicle and fails to disclose it in the contract, the buyer can use the contract to resolve issues through market mediation. If the market does not intervene, arbitration or legal action can be pursued. Commercial insurance can help recover some losses through policy cancellation. Ways to purchase used cars: Used car trading markets offer the best hands-on experience. Online used car platforms provide the widest selection of vehicles. Personal sellers offer the most favorable prices.

Does the 2021 Tharu come with a particulate filter?

The 2021 Tharu is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's exhaust system that captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Diesel engine pollution mainly comes from three sources—particulate emissions, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Particulate emissions (soot) are mostly composed of tiny particles of carbon or carbide (smaller than 4-20μm). How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filter inside, the carbon soot particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon soot particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the 2021 Tharu has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to check for a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe. If present, that is the particulate filter.

Why Doesn't the 4S Store Transfer Ownership During Used Car Replacement?

Under normal circumstances, the 4S store first keeps the old car, prices the new replacement car based on the value of the old car, and the owner drives the new car home. The 4S store will then sell the old car and complete the ownership transfer when a buyer is found. Here is some relevant information: Used Car: A used car refers to a motor vehicle that has been registered with the public traffic management authority, is still in service before reaching the national scrapping standard or within its economic service life, and can continue to be used. Vehicle Ownership Transfer: Vehicle ownership transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner. Completing the transfer of a used car legally ensures the transfer of vehicle ownership, guarantees the legality of the vehicle's source (e.g., avoiding purchasing smuggled or stolen vehicles), and clarifies the division of responsibilities related to the vehicle between the buyer and seller, such as debt disputes and traffic violations, thereby protecting the legal rights of both parties.
