There are several reasons for installing GPS tracking devices on used cars. For instance, the previous owner might have forgotten to remove it, or the vehicle could have been purchased through a mortgage arrangement where installation of a tracker is required. Below is additional information: 1. Used cars typically refer to motor vehicles that can still be operated before reaching the national scrappage standards. 2. Purchasing a used car offers many advantages, including cost-effectiveness, lower depreciation rates, and easier access to spare parts. Consumers can buy a higher-end used car for the price of a new one, and the same brand and model can be acquired for tens of thousands less. 3. After a car is registered and licensed, its value depreciates annually. However, used cars have lower depreciation rates, so selling them after several years of use results in minimal financial loss. Additionally, the automotive service industry for used cars is well-developed, with ample availability of related parts.

Which Wheels of Trucks Cannot Be Fitted with Retreaded Tires?

For highway buses, tourist coaches, and school buses, all wheels must not be fitted with retreaded tires. Additionally, the steering wheels of other motor vehicles are also prohibited from using retreaded tires. Special-purpose school buses should be equipped with tubeless radial tires, while vehicles transporting dangerous goods and other buses with a length exceeding 9 meters should use radial tires. Here are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: Avoid buying tires with very old production dates. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. 2. During regular vehicle use, frequently inspect tire pressure and the tire surface for any damage: The sidewalls of tires are relatively fragile, and if they are cut or punctured, they cannot be repaired. It is recommended that vehicle owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.

What are the reasons for slow tire air leakage?

The reasons for slow tire air leakage are valve core leakage or damage to the tire sidewall. The specific reasons are introduced as follows: Valve core leakage: If you pour water on the valve core and find bubbles forming, you can confirm that it's valve core leakage. In this case, simply loosen the dust cap a bit, as being too tight can press against the valve core, causing air leakage. Tire sidewall damage: Besides the tire tread being easily punctured by foreign objects, the tire sidewalls and inner edges can also be damaged. Some drivers have poor spatial awareness when parking, frequently scraping the tire sidewalls against curbs. Once or twice may not cause issues, but repeated occurrences can wear down the tire sidewalls.

Why does the range drop significantly?

There are several reasons for a significant drop in range, including liquid level sensor failure, fuel tank damage, and excessive air intake in the fuel tank or fuel lines. Liquid level sensor failure: A faulty liquid level sensor can lead to incorrect fuel level display. Fuel tank damage: Damage to the fuel tank can cause deformation, affecting the normal fuel level. Excessive air intake in the fuel tank or fuel lines: Too much air intake in the fuel tank or fuel lines can result in inaccurate readings from the vehicle's computer. The range displayed by the vehicle's computer is calculated based on driving conditions, and fluctuations are inevitable. It is advisable to rely on the fuel gauge to estimate the remaining driving distance, as there have been numerous cases where over-reliance on the displayed range led to running out of fuel on the road.

What are the two lights facing each other?

Two lights facing each other are daytime running lights. They illuminate when the vehicle starts, serving to alert other vehicles and pedestrians for safety purposes. Below is relevant information about daytime running lights: Function of daytime running lights: They are lights that make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Their purpose is not to help the driver see the road but to inform others that a vehicle is approaching. Therefore, these lights are not illumination lights but rather signal lights. Installation of daytime running lights: First, choose a suitable location at the front of the vehicle, which usually depends on the vehicle model. When determining the location, areas prone to high temperatures and water accumulation should be avoided as much as possible. Then, according to the installation instructions of the daytime running lights, use a drill to create fixing holes for the lights on the vehicle. Once the holes are made, secure the daytime running lights to the vehicle with screws.
