4S stores are eager to handle traffic accidents because they can repair the vehicles involved in the accidents and earn vehicle maintenance service fees. The relevant introduction of 4S stores is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of a 4S store is Automobile Sales Service 4S Shop (Automobile-Sales-Servicshop-4S), which is a car sales enterprise that integrates vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). 2. Features: Automobile 4S stores are invested and built by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers. The design inside and outside the store is unified, with huge investments, often amounting to tens of millions, luxurious and imposing, with a comfortable environment. They can only sell a single brand of cars specially authorized by the manufacturer, providing customers with lower prices, more professional technical support, and more in-depth after-sales service.

I remember last time my car had an accident on the highway, the 4S shop called immediately, eager to handle the claims and towing. Their enthusiasm is mainly because they can make a huge profit from it; accident repairs are expensive with many parts needing replacement, plus the quick reimbursement from their insurance company partnerships ensures stable and substantial income. Beyond just the repairs, they also seize the opportunity to upsell maintenance packages or inspection services, extending their business chain. For car owners, this is actually quite hassle-free—the 4S shop handles everything, saving you the legwork, and their professional team ensures repairs with genuine parts, avoiding safety hazards. I’ve also heard some shops even have agreements with insurance agents to proactively take on jobs and boost performance. While this aggressive behavior is profit-driven, it also delivers efficient service—my car was repaired quickly and well that time.

What are the deduction items for reverse parking?

Failure to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in a 100-point deduction. Vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction. Failure to fully enter the parking space results in a 100-point deduction. Stopping midway results in a 100-point deduction. Below is relevant information about reverse parking: 1. Overview: Reverse parking became a mandatory test item for obtaining a small vehicle driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle within a designated area. Reverse parking is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into a parking space from both sides while in motion, with a time limit during the test. 2. Methods: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly found in large shopping centers. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.

Where is the hazard flasher relay located in the Buick Excelle?

The hazard flasher relay is located near the clutch pedal. Here is some related information: 1. Relay: A relay is an electrical control device. It establishes an interactive relationship between the control system (also known as the input circuit) and the controlled system (also known as the output circuit). Typically used in automated control circuits, it essentially functions as an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control the operation of a larger current. 2. Function: In a circuit, it serves purposes such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit switching. When the input quantity (such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.) reaches a specified value, it either connects or disconnects the controlled output circuit. Relays can be categorized into two main types: electrical quantity (such as current, voltage, frequency, power, etc.) relays and non-electrical quantity (such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc.) relays. They offer advantages like fast operation, stable performance, long service life, and compact size. They are widely used in devices for power protection, automation, motion control, remote control, measurement, and communication.

Is it normal for the Peugeot 207 coolant temperature to be between 90 and 100 degrees?

It is not normal for the Peugeot 207 coolant temperature to be between 90 and 100 degrees. The recommended engine coolant temperature should be between 80-90°C. Both excessively high or low temperatures can easily damage the engine. Low temperatures are detrimental to engine lubrication, while high temperatures may lead to engine self-ignition. During daily driving, pay attention to the coolant temperature indicator on the dashboard. If the red warning light illuminates, do not continue driving; pull over to let the engine cool down. Here are relevant details: 1. Coolant: Automobiles use coolant as the heat dissipation medium, which should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The quality of coolant directly affects the engine's heat dissipation performance. If conditions permit, premium anhydrous long-life coolant can be used. 2. Cooling methods: The engine employs a combination of water cooling and air cooling for heat dissipation, which effectively removes heat and maintains the engine coolant temperature within the normal range.

Are There Two Chances for the Subject 3 Driving Test?

There are two chances for the Subject 3 driving test. Below are specific tips for passing the Subject 3 test quickly: Prepare well before the test: Open the car door, step in with your right foot first, sit down, pull in your left foot, and close the door. Adjust the seat, press the brake and clutch pedals, fasten the seatbelt, and adjust the three rearview mirrors. Be sure to perform hand gestures, as this step is often overlooked. Check the handbrake by releasing it and then pulling it up again. At this point, you should report to the examiner: "Reporting, examiner. All vehicle components are intact, the handbrake is effective, and there are no obstacles around. May I start?" Typically, the examiner will instruct you to start. Check if the car is functioning properly: Before starting, check the windshield wipers and turn signals. If it's nighttime, also check the high and low beams. After completing the checks, press the brake and report: "Reporting, examiner. The dashboard lights, windshield wipers, and handbrake are all functioning normally, and there are no obstacles around. May I proceed?" Unless there are special circumstances, the examiner will instruct you to proceed. Follow the examiner's instructions: When starting the Subject 3 test, shift to neutral (shift to first gear when parking), start the ignition, turn on the left turn signal, check all three rearview mirrors, and look to the left. Shift to first gear, release the handbrake last, and slowly release the clutch to the half-engaged position. Release the brake to start, paying attention to traffic on both sides and listening carefully to the examiner's instructions. Shift gears frequently as needed. Communicate effectively with the examiner: If you encounter a red light during the Subject 3 test, use this technique: "Reporting, examiner. There’s a red light ahead. Should I stop?" If the examiner says to stop, slow down and stop, ensuring not to stop at intersections, crosswalks, or in turning lanes. If the examiner says the light is green, continue driving.

Does driving halfway through a yellow light that turns red count as running a red light?

According to Article 38 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing may continue to proceed. If the yellow light is already on and the driver continues to force their way through, being caught by traffic cameras in such a situation also counts as running a red light. According to the relevant provisions in Article 10 of the Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations, drivers who violate traffic signal lights at intersections will be penalized with 6 demerit points. Additionally, according to the relevant provisions in Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, fines may also be imposed. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic traffic cameras take three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered running a red light. According to Article 11 of the Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations, if a vehicle crosses the stop line after the red light turns on but manages to stop, even if it has already crossed the line, it will not be considered running a red light. However, it will be considered stopping beyond the line, which, according to traffic laws, is classified as driving or stopping improperly at an intersection, resulting in a penalty of 2 demerit points. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if the vehicle is close and moving fast, it should proceed because braking might not stop it in time before crossing the stop line; if the vehicle is far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, it should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.
