If the modified headlights are damaged in an accident, insurance companies generally will not cover the cost. Here are the relevant details: 1. Many car enthusiasts modify their vehicle's headlights, but it is not recommended to do so casually as there are numerous disadvantages to modifying headlights. 2. After modifying headlights, the annual vehicle inspection may be affected, and some insurance companies will not cover the modified headlights. 3. Modifying headlights may lead to some electrical circuit failures in the vehicle. 4. If higher-wattage bulbs are installed, these bulbs generate significantly more heat than the original bulbs, which can accelerate the aging of the headlight housing and even cause the vehicle to catch fire.

How to manually reset the maintenance light for the 2020 Emgrand?

To reset the maintenance light on the Emgrand, press the trip meter reset button on the instrument panel used for adjusting the mileage. Hold this button for 2-3 seconds while the engine is idling, and the maintenance reminder will turn off. Alternatively, you can visit a service station where the technician will use a computer to access the vehicle's system settings after completing the maintenance, and the maintenance light will be extinguished. Here is some additional information: 1. The Emgrand's onboard computer includes a maintenance mileage reminder. If the vehicle reaches the specified mileage without maintenance, the maintenance light will illuminate. If maintenance is continuously neglected, the light will remain on as a reminder. 2. As driving time increases, internal vehicle components will gradually wear out. To ensure normal vehicle operation, manufacturers have installed reminder indicators. Once the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, the owner should promptly replace the necessary components. After successful replacement, the maintenance light must also be reset.

What are the BYD SOC setting tips?

BYD SOC setting tips are as follows: 1. If the vehicle is fully charged at departure, it is recommended to set the SOC value to 70% and drive in the normal HEV ECO mode. When the battery level drops to 70%, the engine will allocate torque to generate electricity and replenish the battery, stabilizing the power battery level at 68-70%. If driving continues in this state, the fuel consumption will be around 7.0-8.5L/100km. 2. During long-distance driving, it is inevitable to pass through urban areas. During this time, plan the route and estimate the approximate distance to be driven in the city, and adjust the vehicle's SOC value accordingly. 3. For shorter driving distances, set the SOC to 30% and use the normal HEV ECO mode. The battery level will gradually and slowly decrease throughout the planned driving process without any reverse charging. At speeds of 80-110km/h, the fuel consumption will be approximately 5.5L/100km.

What is Vehicle Damage?

Vehicle damage refers to the vehicle damage insurance, which is a type of commercial auto insurance where the insurance company compensates within a reasonable range for the loss of the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. Vehicle damage insurance provides protection for the vehicle itself, especially when the vehicle encounters natural disasters and cannot be compensated, serving as a safeguard. Relevant information on vehicle damage assessment: Vehicle damage assessment is based on the principles of automobile construction, through scientific, systematic, and professional inspection, testing, and surveying methods. It involves a comprehensive analysis of the collision and accident scene, utilizing vehicle damage assessment data and repair data to scientifically and systematically estimate and price the collision repair. The damage assessment price provided by the insurance company represents the overall loss of the vehicle. However, the final compensation amount depends on the driver's liability in the accident and the types of insurance the vehicle has. If you hire an independent damage assessment company for a reassessment, additional costs will be incurred. Generally, the damage assessment by insurance companies needs to be completed at designated repair shops, but the final decision on which repair shop to use is up to the vehicle owner. Introduction to Vehicle Damage Insurance: Compensation Rules The insurer is responsible for compensating for the loss of the insured vehicle caused by the following reasons during the use of the insured vehicle by the insured or a qualified driver permitted by the insured: collision, overturning; fire, explosion; collapse of external objects, falling objects from the air, or parallel falling of the insured vehicle during operation; lightning, storm, tornado, heavy rain, flood, tsunami, ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanche, hail, mudslide, landslide; natural disasters affecting the ferry carrying the insured vehicle (limited to cases where the 58 Auto driver is accompanying the vehicle). In the event of an insured accident, the insurer is responsible for compensating the reasonable expenses incurred by the insured or a qualified driver permitted by the insured for rescuing and protecting the insured vehicle. However, the maximum compensation amount for such expenses is limited to the insured amount.

What Causes Intermittent Car Starting Difficulties?

Common causes of difficult car ignition include: 1. Incorrect fuel-air mixture ratio. 2. Overly rich combustible mixture. 3. No spark or weak spark from spark plugs. 4. Insufficient battery charge. 5. Incorrect ignition timing. 6. Insufficient cylinder compression pressure. 7. Excessive carbon buildup or blockage in the exhaust port and muffler. To troubleshoot starting difficulties, follow these steps sequentially: 1. Press the horn button to assess battery charge level by sound intensity. If weak, check electrolyte levels and inspect for damage to battery casing or plates. 2. Examine spark plugs to determine whether the issue lies in the ignition system (weak/no spark) or fuel system. Ignition system faults may include: dirty spark plugs, broken high-tension wires, damaged capacitors/diodes/transistor circuits, unopened/break in ignition switch/main switch, or incorrect breaker point gap/surface irregularity. 3. Remove spark plugs and crank the engine. Analyze exhaust gas moisture/odor to identify fuel system issues or ignition timing problems. Dry spark plugs with odorless exhaust indicate no mixture entering cylinders - check fuel tank valve, fuel lines, and carburetor for blockages. Gasoline-smelling exhaust with no visible oil droplets on white paper near spark plug holes suggests overly lean mixture. Wet spark plugs indicate overly rich mixture. 4. Remove engine cover to verify ignition timing. Adjust breaker if incorrect; clean breaker if timing is correct. 5. Use a compression gauge: Pressure below 6.10 Pascals indicates internal mechanical faults (damaged cylinder/crankcase gaskets, leaking crankcase seals, or loose bolts). Pressure above 6.10 Pascals requires exhaust system inspection. Without a gauge: Remove spark plug, finger-test compression by cranking engine. Strong pressure pulses with "popping" sounds indicate good compression/crankcase sealing; weak/no pulses with difficult cranking suggest crankcase or piston ring leakage. 6. Remove muffler to check for carbon blockage. 7. Test battery voltage and overall condition.
