Last time I installed a reversing radar myself, I specifically studied the Sportage model. The control box is located behind the left trim panel in the trunk. First, clear out the clutter in the trunk and locate the clip-on trim panel near the rear bumper. Use a plastic pry tool to gently pry open the left plastic panel—don’t pull too hard to avoid breaking the clips. Once removed, you’ll see a black square box hanging there, slightly larger than a cigarette pack. The wiring harness is plugged into the side of the box, with a label indicating 'Reversing Radar.' When reinstalling, make sure the wires aren’t pinched, and test the radar sensitivity afterward. Also, avoid placing heavy items in the spare tire well, as it can deform the trim panel and press against the box.

Do New Cars or Old Cars Consume More Fuel?

Cars of the same brand, model, and age are comparable (or those with similar displacement). Fuel consumption is more directly related to engine displacement. Below are detailed explanations of the relevant content: New Cars: 1.1 Generally, small cars with around 2-liter displacement should consume approximately 9 liters in city driving and 7 liters on highways. Displacement City Driving Highway Driving 2L 9-10L 7-8L 3L 10-12L 9-10L 1.11 Automatic transmissions consume about 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. This means an extra liter of fuel per 100 kilometers. 1.12 Taller vehicles (such as SUVs, vans, etc.) consume more fuel due to their larger frontal area (increased wind resistance). For new car data, it is recommended to check the Canadian websites of various companies, such as Honda.ca, Ford.ca, BMW.ca, etc. This is also one of the key parameters to consider when purchasing a car. Old Cars: 2.15 or 6-year-old cars (e.g., 100,000-150,000 kilometers) may reasonably consume 5-10% more fuel per 100 kilometers compared to their new counterparts of the same brand. 2.210-year-old cars (e.g., 200,000 kilometers) may consume 10-15%, or even 20% more, which is also reasonable. 2.3 The increase in fuel consumption is mostly due to wear and tear on the engine and transmission system. Of course, abnormal wear can make fuel consumption unpredictable.

The motor vehicle driver's license must not be suspended, revoked, canceled, or have accumulated 12 penalty points, unresolved violations, or unpaid fines. If any of these conditions exist, they must be resolved before the license can be replaced. The motor vehicle driver must submit the medical certificate, 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form,' current driver's license, and photos to the vehicle management office at the place where the license was originally issued. The vehicle management office will process the replacement within one working day after verification.
