New car production dates can be checked in two places: the co-pilot side and the certificate of conformity. Details are as follows: 1. Below the B-pillar on the co-pilot side, open the door to see it. This nameplate only specifies the year and month, and the vehicle's chassis number is noted on the nameplate. 2. The certificate of conformity that comes with the new car, located in the upper right corner of the certificate. The production date marked here can be specified to the year, month, and day. Note: This is not applicable to all models. When the new car arrives at the dealership from the factory. There will be a factory paper nameplate on the front windshield of the driver's seat. The paper nameplate indicates the chassis number and the MIIT fuel consumption. If the bottom of the paper nameplate specifies the year, month, and day, then the production date on this nameplate can be used as a reference date. If the nameplate only specifies the year and month, then it cannot be used as the factory date.

Should a New Car Be Filled Up with Gas?

For a new car, except for the first time, it is not necessary to fill up the fuel tank afterwards. Here are some relevant points about refueling a car: 1. Reason for filling up the first time: The first refueling must be done until the pump "clicks off." Once the pump "clicks off," do not add more fuel. This is to check whether the fuel gauge of the new car is accurate. 2. Reason for not filling up the fuel tank after the first time: If the tank is overfilled, there will be no space at the top of the fuel tank, especially in summer, and the gasoline vapor will have nowhere to go, leading to fuel spillage. This can cause the tank's vent to be submerged in gasoline, forcing liquid gasoline into the carbon canister and damaging it.

Is the Cadillac CT4 fuel-consuming?

The Cadillac CT4 has a fuel consumption of 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are other introductions about the Cadillac CT4: 1. Exterior: The Cadillac CT4 adopts Cadillac's latest styling design, with the front featuring the brand's newest diamond-cutting technique. Compared to previous models, it has undergone a significant visual redesign, making the new car more sporty. The entire grille has a ladder-like shape, with an interior composed entirely of black mesh structure, complemented by the car's unique maple red design, further highlighting the vehicle's presence. 2. Interior: The new car features a dual-tone interior color scheme, with chrome decorations on the door handles, air vents, and around the gear shift, paired with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, giving the car a very youthful appearance. Additionally, the dashboard of the new car is outlined with multiple composite lines, combined with a large central control LCD screen and polygonal air vents, further enhancing the interior's sense of layering.

How to Deal with Small Scratches on Car Paint?

If there are scratches on the car, you can cover them with wax. First, apply a layer of car wax to the vehicle, then gently wipe it several times with a damp cloth. This will easily remove small scratches and reduce marks left on the paint surface. Below is some related information about car paint: 1. Introduction to Car Paint: Car paint is a protective film sprayed onto vehicles, serving as a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion. 2. Classification of Car Paint: One type is single-stage paint, which is solid color paint; the other is two-stage paint, which is metallic paint. 3. Advantages of Car Paint: The paint film has excellent fullness, high gloss, strong hardness, good adhesion, and outstanding mechanical properties. It maintains excellent gloss, weather resistance, and abrasion resistance, as well as good resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline.

How to Deal with Brake Failure in Automatic Transmission Cars?

Automatic transmission brake failure can be addressed by: 1. The driver should stay calm, release the accelerator to reduce speed, firmly hold the steering wheel, and turn on the hazard warning lights (double flashing lights); 2. Observe the rear traffic through the left and right rearview mirrors, and if conditions permit, slowly change lanes to the far right lane to prepare for an emergency stop; 3. The driver can try pressing the brake pedal several times, which may apply pressure to the brake system with air in the oil pipes and potentially restore some braking force; 4. Use friction between the side of the car and guardrails to stop the vehicle or use collidable objects to bring the car to a halt, achieving the goal of forced parking to escape danger and minimizing accident losses.

What is the difference between S gear and D gear?

D gear and S gear differ in the following aspects: 1. Different Main Functions; 1. D gear: It is the most common gear in automatic transmission vehicles, enabling the car to automatically select the appropriate gear while moving forward. 2. S gear: It represents the sports mode of the car. 2. Different Characteristics; 1. D gear: As one of the most common gears in automatic transmission vehicles, it belongs to the forward gear category and covers all forward gears within the vehicle's automatic transmission. 2. S gear: When using S gear, the engine's fuel injection volume increases due to higher RPM, resulting in greater power output. Additionally, the suspension becomes stiffer compared to normal mode, reducing body roll during cornering. 3. Different Principles; 1. D gear: When the gear shift lever is placed in D gear, the hydraulic control system automatically engages the corresponding forward gear based on throttle opening signals and vehicle speed signals. It shifts up or down among forward gears according to the output shaft speed and engine RPM changes, achieving automatic transmission functionality. 2. S gear: In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely but delays the shifting timing, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to maintain low gear and high RPM for extended durations, thereby delivering greater torque output and acceleration.

How to Repair a Compressor?

For issues with the compressor motor, problems with the suction and exhaust valves not closing tightly, and faults in the thermal protector, replacement is the recommended solution. For compressor seizure or stuck piston issues, repair can be attempted first using the following methods: 1. Tapping Method: After turning on the compressor, tap the lower half with a wooden hammer to vibrate the stuck internal parts into operation. 2. Capacitor Start Method: Use a capacitor with a higher capacitance than the original to start the circuit. 3. High Voltage Start Method: Use a voltage regulator to increase the power supply voltage before starting. 4. Pressure Relief Method: Release all the refrigerant from the system before starting.
