6-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection for 6 years. The stated exemption only refers to skipping the on-site inspection process. Owners still need to collect the inspection compliance label from the vehicle management office every two years. However, it should be noted that if the vehicle exceeds 6 years from the date of registration, it must be inspected once a year as per regulations. The required materials for annual inspection include: 1. Vehicle license; 2. Compulsory traffic insurance certificate; 3. Vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption proof; 4. Owner's ID card. If someone else handles it on behalf of the owner, the agent must bring their own ID card. The purpose of vehicle inspection is to check the main technical condition of the vehicle, encourage enhanced maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety.

I just bought a 6-seater SUV, and when it came to the topic of exemption from inspection, my friend explained it clearly. Indeed, 6-seater vehicles enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection policy because they are private cars with fewer than 7 seats, so you don’t need to go to the inspection station for an annual check. During the first 6 years, you only need to apply for an inspection sticker every two years, which can be easily done through a mobile app like 12123—just upload a photo of your vehicle license. It saves time and effort, making daily commuting super convenient—but note that the policy only applies to non-commercial vehicles, or it becomes invalid. Actually, the last time I applied, it took me less than 10 minutes, saving a lot on fuel costs and queuing time. Additionally, the definition of seating capacity is crucial—don’t buy models with more than 7 seats, as those require annual inspections. Also, make sure to maintain your car properly, like checking brake lights, because exemption from inspection doesn’t mean neglecting safety.

Having driven for over 20 years, I know a thing or two about policy changes. A 6-seater car meets the 6-year exemption standard, meaning it doesn't require on-site inspections for the first 6 years. Instead, you just need to apply for the inspection sticker every two years on the 12123 app, which is straightforward. Simply take a photo, get it approved, and the sticker is issued—no hassle. This policy is based on safety frameworks, and since 6-seaters have decent safety ratings, the exemption makes sense. However, you should still check tire pressure and lights yourself—developing this habit saves money and gives peace of mind. I've seen newbies get confused about seating capacity—if you buy a 6-seater, you've made the right choice. Anything with 7 seats or more requires annual inspections, which means more effort. Back in the day, you had to visit the DMV in person—no app. The digital age has really made things easier.

Our family has been using a 6-seater car for almost 4 years, and we're glad we don't have to visit the inspection station every year. A 6-seater counts as under 7 seats, so for the first 6 years, you only need to apply for the inspection mark online every two years—just log in to 12123. The process is simple: upload a photo of the vehicle license, and after approval, the mark will be mailed to you, completely free or with a small fee. This policy saves families a lot of hassle, ensuring no delays when traveling with kids. However, the vehicle must be in normal condition without modifications; otherwise, the exemption is void. Don’t overthink the seat count—6 seats are fully covered.

Technology makes vehicle inspection more efficient, with 6-seater vehicles enjoying a 6-year exemption. Submit your application via the official app, and receive your inspection label in just a few minutes, eliminating the hassle of driving to a testing center. The policy is designed based on big data safety assessments, allowing 6-seaters due to their lower risk. It's recommended to regularly check the app for any violation records. This applies to all vehicles with fewer than 7 seats, making 6-seaters worry-free. Future upgrades may come, but the current digital process is incredibly convenient.

Briefly describe the principle of gear shifting in a transmission

Principle: By shifting the gear lever, the driving gears on the intermediate shaft are switched, and through different combinations of gear sizes meshing with the power output shaft, the torque and speed of the driving wheels are altered. Below are the related introductions: 1. Changing the transmission ratio: Adjusting the transmission ratio expands the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions. While maintaining the same rotation direction of the car engine, reverse gear is used to enable the vehicle to move backward. 2. Interrupting power transmission: With the engine still running, neutral gear is used to interrupt power transmission, facilitating engine start-up, warm-up, idling, and making it easier to shift gears or for the car to coast or temporarily stop. 3. Power output: The engine's power is output through the transmission to drive other mechanisms, such as the winch on certain vehicles or the oil pump of a dump truck.

How to Use the Auto Start-Stop Function in a Sedan?

What Causes a Car to Not Respond When Starting?

Here are the main reasons for no response when starting: 1. No fuel: Gasoline is the power source for cars. Only by burning gasoline can the car move. Insufficient gasoline can easily cause the car to not respond when starting. 2. Dead battery: The battery is crucial for starting the car. If the battery is dead, it will cause the car to not respond when starting. 3. Incorrect gear: If the gear is not set correctly when starting, it may also cause the car to not respond. The car can only start normally when the gear is in P or N. 4. Spark plug issues: The spark plug is a critical component in the car's starting process. Whether the car can start depends on whether the spark plug is working properly. If the car does not respond when starting, check the spark plug for any faults. 5. Damaged fuel pump: The fuel pump is an important part of the car's fuel system. If the fuel pump is damaged, it may cause fuel supply issues, resulting in the car not responding when starting.

What to Do After Picking Up the Car?

After picking up the car, you need to purchase car insurance, pay the purchase tax, and get the license plate. The following are the insurances required for a new car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance that all car owners must have. 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 traffic insurance. Both provide compensation to third parties, but the amount of compensation depends on the policyholder's level of responsibility in the event of an accident. In many traffic accidents, the insurance contract may include clauses that exempt the insurer from certain liabilities. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers the loss or damage to your own car, but not all losses are covered. For example, standalone damage to glass, side mirrors, or tires (including rims) is not covered by the insurance company. Additionally, the insurer will not provide compensation for incidents such as earthquakes, drunk driving, or hit-and-run cases.
