Some 4S shops use non-original parts as original parts. Since the cost of non-original parts is relatively low compared to original parts, the price difference is significant. 4S shops use non-original parts to profit from this price gap. Here is additional information: 1. 4S Shop: A 4S shop, fully known as Automobile Sales Service Shop 4S, is a sales outlet that integrates car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services. 4S shops are invested and built by dealers according to the standards set by car manufacturers. They feature unified interior and exterior designs, require huge investments often exceeding tens of millions, and are luxurious, grand, and comfortable. They are authorized to sell only a single brand of cars. 2. Methods to Judge Headlights: Compared to original headlights, non-original headlights vary in quality, with many flaws at the edges and unclear engraved logos. Due to insufficient manufacturing standards, the gaps between non-original headlights and the car body are uneven, with significant left-right deviations. Additionally, non-original headlights have poorer lighting effects, longer reaction times, and may even exhibit uneven brightness between the left and right sides.

How to Replace Vehicle Antifreeze?

Vehicle antifreeze replacement method is as follows: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe is named for its five connections to various parts, and the antifreeze is distributed to different sections of the car through this pipe to function. If there is any antifreeze leakage in this part, replace the water pipe or re-secure the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir to allow it to circulate continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure the water circulates. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a slight pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop as air is expelled from the system. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

How to Open the Jaguar Fuel Tank Cap?

Jaguar fuel tank cap can be unlocked and opened with the Jaguar key. Press the fuel tank cap and it will pop open by itself. Below is an extended introduction to the fuel tank cap: 1. The fuel tank cap refers to the box on the car used to store gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, which facilitates storage. It is generally located at the rear of the car. 2. Modern cars usually allow the trunk and fuel tank cap to be remotely controlled from inside the cabin, providing great convenience to the owner. However, when these features malfunction, they can leave the owner helpless and cause significant trouble. 3. If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can start with the trunk. First, remove the lining panel covering the fuel tank in the trunk. The lining panel is usually secured by some plastic clips and can be easily pried open with a screwdriver. After removing the lining panel, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap and the cable used for remote operation. Simply pull the cable to open the fuel tank cap. If this doesn't work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. Some car models have a dedicated switch on the locking mechanism; pressing this switch will open the fuel tank cap.

How to Install and Remove ETC?

ETC device easy-to-remove installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, the red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC Activation Method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If inserting and removing twice before attaching the electronic tag shows "Tag Invalid," this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth directly. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

What is the top speed of the CFMOTO 250cc motorcycle?

The top speed of the CFMOTO 250cc motorcycle is in the range of 140-150 kilometers per hour. When riding a motorcycle in urban areas: The rider must stay focused and correctly judge and handle various situations. The rider should have a proper anticipation of different pedestrians. For example, when encountering pedestrians who are distracted, honk the horn or use other signals from a distance to allow them to move aside in time, preventing sudden panic that could lead to a collision. When encountering elderly pedestrians, who may move slowly and have poorer hearing, reducing speed in advance is necessary as they might not hear the horn. For beginners riding motorcycles, pay attention to the following points: 1. Beginners should avoid driving too fast; generally, the speed should be controlled below 40 kilometers per hour. Exceeding this speed in case of sudden events may lead to delayed reactions due to nervousness. 2. Avoid driving impulsively; immature skills combined with emotional driving can lead to accidents more quickly. 3. Avoid entering fast lanes, as high-speed driving can easily lead to loss of control. 4. Avoid carrying passengers within the first two months of riding, as excessive weight increases the likelihood of accidents for beginners. 5. Strictly adhere to traffic rules; all drivers must remember this. 6. Try to minimize night riding; lack of experience and immature skills can increase driving hazards.
