Commercial insurance compensates based on the degree of liability, while compulsory traffic insurance compensates based on whether there is liability or not. Below is an introduction to the relevant content of purchasing insurance: 1. Purchasing Methods: Car insurance can be reasonably purchased according to the owner's needs, either at a 4S shop or elsewhere. 2. Buying a Car on Loan: Generally, when buying a car on loan, insurance must be purchased at the dealership, and a certain renewal deposit will also be charged. 3. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance in China, and all vehicles must purchase this type of insurance. 4. Insurance Items: If the vehicle involved in an accident has participated in the compulsory third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles, the insurance company will pay the rescue expenses within the liability limit.

As an average car owner, I also thought commercial insurance was unnecessary when I first bought my car. But after a minor accident in the first year, I ended up paying over ten thousand yuan for repairs myself. Compulsory insurance only covers a tiny portion, and in case of a major incident, you’d have to shoulder the burden yourself. Commercial insurance like vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance can cover high compensation costs and vehicle losses, saving you a lot of money. For example, my friend was rear-ended by someone without commercial insurance and almost had to go to court. That’s why I now opt for comprehensive coverage—investing in protection brings peace of mind. On the road, accidents are unpredictable, and a single incident could wipe you out financially. Having commercial insurance is like having a safety net, far more cost-effective than saving money for risks. I strongly advise new drivers not to skimp on these premiums.

What does 'Refer to the owner's manual for coolant refill' mean?

Directly add coolant or distilled water to the specified level, or visit the nearest 4S shop for maintenance. The following is an introduction to vehicle coolant: 1. Introduction to coolant: The full name is antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding during cold seasons when the vehicle is parked, which could crack the radiator and damage the engine cylinder block. Its main function is to maintain the engine within the normal temperature range, while also providing antifreeze, anti-boiling, and anti-corrosion effects. 2. Coolant location: On the expansion tank in the engine compartment, there are markings indicating the upper and lower limits of the coolant level. Visually observe the coolant level; if it is between the upper and lower limits, it is at a normal level. If the coolant level is found to be too low, it needs to be refilled as soon as possible. When refilling, ensure the coolant level is between the upper and lower limits of the expansion tank.

What does ETC parking deduction mean?

ETC deductions are processed in real-time, and the deduction principle is as follows: The ETC system requires the installation of an onboard unit containing vehicle information on the vehicle. When the vehicle enters the entrance of the electronic toll collection lane, the station-level device of the highway data collection and processing system reads the vehicle information from the onboard unit; the data management center analyzes the passing vehicle, forms a deduction transaction, and uploads it to the bank. The bank completes the transaction processing and returns the result to the data management center in real time. Below are detailed contents about ETC: 1. Definition: ETC is an Electronic Toll Collection system. By installing a sensor card on the car's windshield and pre-storing funds, there is no need for manual toll collection or stopping at toll points, which can greatly improve driving efficiency in our country. 2. Basic principle: When a vehicle passes through a toll station, vehicle identification and information writing are achieved through the onboard device, and the corresponding funds are automatically deducted from the pre-stored account. ETC is an electronic toll collection system for roads, bridges, and tunnels that is being actively developed and promoted internationally.

Which country does the VIN code 'Y' represent?

VIN code 'Y' represents vehicles from Sweden. Introduction to Vehicle Identification Number The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is an internationally recognized code for identifying motor vehicles, from which one can determine the vehicle's country of origin, manufacturer name, production year, etc. For example: 1-United States, J-Japan, S-United Kingdom, 2-Canada, K-South Korea, T-Switzerland, 3-Mexico, L-China, etc. Additional Information: 1. There are mainly two formats for vehicle identification numbers. The first is the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the European Union, and the second standard is primarily used in North America, which is more stringent than the first but still compatible with it. 2. The first three digits of the VIN are called the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier), used to identify the manufacturer's name and country of origin. 3. For manufacturers producing fewer than 500 vehicles annually, the third digit of the VIN will use the number '9', and digits 12-14 will be used as the second part of the identification.

What does the restorable status of a revoked driver's license mean?

When a driver's license status shows as "revoked but restorable," it refers to situations where the motor vehicle driver's license has been expired for more than one year without renewal, or the revocation period does not exceed two years. The driver can regain driving eligibility after passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and relevant knowledge examination. Details are as follows: 1. For motor vehicle drivers during their probation period: If they accumulate 12 penalty points for traffic safety violations, their probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest permitted vehicle type, their highest permitted vehicle type driving qualification should also be revoked according to the provisions of Article 78, Paragraph 1. 2. For drivers holding licenses for large buses or tractor-trailers: If they accumulate 6 or more but less than 12 penalty points during the one-year probation period, their probation period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate 6 or more but less than 12 penalty points during the extended probation period, their probationary driving qualification for the permitted vehicle type will be revoked.

Does coasting in neutral gear save fuel?

Coasting in neutral gear does not save fuel. The fuel injection volume of a car is controlled by the onboard computer based on the vehicle's operating trajectory and state. Therefore, when coasting in neutral, the computer interprets it as idling and continues to inject fuel. Below are some fuel-saving tips: 1. Control RPM: During operation, a car's fuel consumption can be managed by monitoring the tachometer. For most fuel-injected engines, maintaining RPM between 2200 and 2500 is optimal for fuel efficiency, avoiding excessive fuel waste. 2. Maintain steady speed: Driving at a constant speed in a straight line consumes less fuel. For small-displacement cars, speeds between 60-80 km/h are most fuel-efficient, while medium-displacement cars perform best at 80-100 km/h. The vehicle's optimal fuel-efficient speed is usually indicated in the maintenance manual, which drivers can reference to save fuel. 3. Gentle acceleration: Whether driving a manual or automatic transmission, always start gently by gradually pressing the accelerator pedal and slowly increasing speed. Shift gears appropriately by listening to the engine sound to maximize fuel utilization.
