The windshield will not be covered if you add glass insurance after it was cracked by a flying stone. Below is relevant information about car insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance that all car owners must purchase. The only drawback is that the compensation amount is relatively small. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance serves as a supplement to the compulsory insurance. Both provide compensation to third parties, but the payout depends on the policyholder's level of responsibility in the accident. Many auto insurance contracts include deductible clauses where the insurer is exempt from paying under certain conditions. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers damage to your own vehicle, but not all damages are covered. For example, standalone damage to the windshield, side mirrors, or tires (including rims) is not covered. Additionally, damages caused by earthquakes, drunk driving, or hit-and-run incidents are also not covered by the insurance company.

Here is an introduction to China VI standards: 1. Overview: The China VI motor vehicle pollutant emission standards are established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. 2. Content: The standards consist of two parts: "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China VI)" and "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)".

Is Transmission Oil Leakage a Common Phenomenon?

Transmission oil leakage is a common malfunction. If it's just a minor seepage, the issue isn't significant. However, if the transmission is leaking oil, the problem is more serious and requires timely inspection and repair. Most oil seepage phenomena occur due to the corrosion and aging of oil seals. The reasons for transmission oil leakage are as follows: 1. Reason one: After prolonged use of the vehicle, some components may age, and the sealing parts in various areas may harden and deteriorate, losing their original elasticity. 2. Reason two: While the engine is operating, the transmission also works under high-intensity conditions, which can sometimes lead to the breakage of sealing strips, causing transmission oil seepage or leakage. This phenomenon is difficult to avoid. 3. Reason three: The transmission requires oil for lubrication during operation. Transmission oil primarily serves to lubricate and clean, and it also protects the transmission during operation, extending its service life.

How to Deal with 10% Speeding in Motor Vehicle Driving?

Driving a motor vehicle 10% over the speed limit will not result in fines or penalty points. According to road traffic safety regulations, drivers exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will receive a warning, meaning no fines or penalty points, just a reminder. Below is additional information: 1. Speeding: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed exceeding the legally prescribed limit. Turbine overspeed accidents are major catastrophic incidents caused by failures in the speed regulation and protection systems or inherent defects in the turbine. 2. Traffic Accidents and Speeding Violations: Road traffic accidents refer to incidents where drivers, pedestrians, passengers, or others engaged in road-related activities violate traffic laws and regulations, resulting in personal injury or property damage due to negligence. Those responsible for traffic accidents must bear corresponding compensation based on their liability.

What is the recommended engine oil specification for the Ford Explorer?

The best engine oil specification for the Ford Explorer is 5W-40, as provided by the original manufacturer. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Castrol, or Mobil. The official Ford Explorer manual recommends using 5W-40 engine oil or 0W-40. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number indicates better ability to maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Ford Explorer is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passages to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.

What is the problem when the starter motor smokes?

The reason for the starter motor smoking is that the resistance is too high when the starter motor is rotating. It is recommended to disassemble the starter motor to check the point card or the rotor shaft. The following is a relevant introduction about the starter motor: 1. It is a short-circuit motor: The starter motor, also known as the motor, can convert the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical energy to drive the engine flywheel to rotate and achieve engine startup. The car starter motor is a short-circuit motor. When installed in the car, the ignition motor starts the engine with a large load and high current, resulting in high temperature and thus smoke. It is normal if it does not smoke when taken down and operated without load. 2. The usage time should not be too long: Each use of the motor should not exceed 5 seconds, and continuous use should not exceed 5 times. Excessive use will cause it to burn out. The battery, also known as the accumulator, is a type of battery. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

How to Open the Sunroof on a Mercedes-Benz?

Inside the car, push the SOS button backward to open the sunroof. The extent to which it opens is up to you. Below are the functions of a car sunroof: 1. Quick Cooling: If you park under direct sunlight, especially in summer, the interior temperature can easily exceed 60°C. Many drivers instinctively turn on the air conditioning upon entering. However, it's more effective to first open the windows and sunroof, which allows the hot air to escape quickly while driving, cooling the car faster. 2. Eliminating Fog: During seasons with significant temperature differences, if the side windows are closed while driving, the windshield can easily fog up. Simply opening the sunroof for a few seconds can quickly clear the fog. 3. Rapid Air Exchange: Opening the sunroof while driving enhances air circulation inside the car, improving ventilation and air quality.
