They will replace it, but not necessarily for free. Here is some relevant information about windshields: Introduction: Windshields were an idea that Ford came up with in the 1920s, where two pieces of glass were sandwiched together with a layer of PVC plastic in between, creating a type of laminated glass. This technology is still in use today. Overview of glass repair: The air inside the glass is vacuumed out, and a special resin is then injected into the cracks and damaged areas. An ultraviolet light is used to cure the resin for repair. Practice has shown that 85% of damage caused by stone impacts can be repaired by using windshield repair kits.

Why does the Tayron require 98-octane gasoline?

Due to the addition of the Tayron's particulate filter, using lower-octane gasoline can easily cause blockages, leading to a significant increase in fuel consumption. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Gasoline octane rating: The octane rating of gasoline represents its resistance to knocking. For example, 95-octane gasoline consists of approximately 95% isooctane and 5% heptane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties compared to heptane, a higher octane rating indicates better anti-knock performance. By extension, 98-octane gasoline means even better anti-knock performance. 2. 98-octane gasoline: 98-octane gasoline is gasoline whose knocking resistance is equivalent to a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% heptane. Engines with high compression ratios should use high-octane gasoline. Using low-octane gasoline in a high-compression engine can cause abnormal combustion, resulting in knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. Compared to other octane ratings, 98-octane gasoline offers stronger anti-knock properties and higher combustion efficiency, providing more powerful performance. However, due to its higher rating and price, it is often used by luxury cars and is referred to as "premium gasoline."

What is the real fuel consumption of the 10 Honda CR-V models?

10 Honda CR-V models consist of 6 variants, including the Honda CR-V 2010 2.0L Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Classic Edition, Two-Wheel Drive Urban Edition, and Manual Two-Wheel Drive Urban Edition, all equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.4L per 100km. The Honda CR-V 2010 2.4L Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Premium Navigation Edition, Premium Edition, and Luxury Edition, equipped with a 170-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.8L per 100km. The fuel tank capacities vary among the 10 Honda CR-V models, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is as follows: Models with the 150-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 58L, allowing a distance of 58/8.4*100=690km on a full tank. Models with the 170-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 58L, allowing a distance of 58/9.8*100=592km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five key factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements, as larger displacements typically mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, lower temperatures prompt the engine's computer to control higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.

Why is Subaru not available domestically in China?

Subaru WRX is not introduced into the domestic market in China, and car owners who want to purchase Subaru WRX have to buy it through pure import channels. This is because Subaru is a niche brand in China with low brand recognition. Additionally, factors such as displacement restrictions, convenience of after-sales maintenance, and issues with the resale value of used cars make it difficult for Subaru WRX to carve out a market share in China. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Subaru's history: The 1990s were Subaru's most glorious period, winning the WRC championship for three consecutive years, which brought great fame to this small Japanese manufacturer. Behind these achievements was a legendary model—the Impreza. The Impreza 555 began to replace the Legacy RS model. Although the core powertrain remained unchanged, its more compact size and lighter weight led to a qualitative leap in its sportiness. 2. Subaru STI: Over the past 20-plus years, Subaru STI has evolved through several generations, becoming increasingly sporty and gaining a large number of loyal owners in Asia and North America. Today, its old rival Mitsubishi Evo has ceased production, but Subaru STI continues to evolve. At the 2019 North American International Auto Show, Subaru launched the strongest version of the STI, the S209, limited to 209 units and exclusively for the U.S. market.

Can You Wash Your Car in High Summer Temperatures?

It is not recommended to wash your car in high summer temperatures. Hazards of washing with cold water in high temperatures: Using cold water to wash your car when the temperature is very high can damage the paint surface. In severe cases, it may even cause the paint to crack and affect the metal structure inside the car. The best times to wash your car are in the early morning or evening, or on cloudy days. If you are in a hurry, use lukewarm water instead. Hazards of using a high-pressure water spray: Some people might prefer to start by directly spraying the car with a high-pressure water jet. However, doing so can cause dust and sand particles to rub against the car's paint, leaving tiny scratches. The correct method is to first rinse the car with a gentle stream of water to remove dust and particles, then apply car wash soap, and finally use the water jet.

How Long Can China IV Gasoline Vehicles Still Be Used?

As long as the vehicle is in good condition, a China IV standard vehicle can continue to be driven. Legal Provisions: There is no mandatory retirement period set for private passenger vehicles, only a guideline for "recommended retirement" after reaching 600,000 kilometers. For light-duty and heavy-duty trucks, the mandatory retirement period is 10 years, which can be extended up to 5 years, meaning the maximum mandatory retirement period for China IV trucks is 15 years. China IV Standard: It was first implemented in 2011 and fully enforced nationwide by 2013. Therefore, the oldest China IV vehicles are only about 8 years old. The phase-out of China IV vehicles will not be abrupt; there will certainly be a transition period.
