Rear position lights are the two clearance lights at the rear of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about clearance lights: 1. Introduction to clearance lights: Clearance lights are the outermost lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. Large trucks also have clearance lights on the roof and sides. The term 'clearance light' can be understood literally - 'clearance' means warning, and 'light' refers to outline. Therefore, clearance lights are warning lights installed on vehicles to alert other vehicles. They are mounted along the edges of the vehicle's roof, indicating both the height and width of the vehicle. 2. Vehicle light introduction: Safety standards require that vehicles taller than three meters must be equipped with clearance lights. The color of clearance lights is white at the front and red at the rear.

What's the reason for occasional abnormal noise when stepping on the clutch?

Analysis of the reasons for occasional abnormal noise when stepping on the clutch: 1. Lightly stepping on the clutch pedal, there is an obvious "rustling" sound: It can be judged that the clutch release bearing is making noise. In this case, you can apply grease to the release bearing. If the noise persists after applying grease, it means the release bearing is damaged, such as if the bearing is stuck or has excessive axial clearance, and a new bearing should be replaced. If the inner ring of the bearing is worn by more than 0.3mm, causing the entire bearing to rotate idly on the release sleeve, both the bearing and the release sleeve should be replaced. 2. Stepping on the clutch pedal produces a "clanging" metal friction sound: Remove the flywheel housing for inspection. If you see signs of burning or sparks at the contact point between the clutch release bearing and the release lever, it indicates that the clutch release bearing is not rotating or is damaged, and the bearing should be replaced. 3. When the engine is idling, there is a "clattering" sound from the clutch, and slightly pressing the accelerator: If the noise does not change, it may be caused by a broken release lever screw, and the damaged part should be replaced. 4. When the engine is idling, there is a "thudding" impact sound from the clutch: If the noise weakens or disappears at medium speed or above, and also disappears when the clutch pedal is pressed again, it indicates that the rivets of the clutch friction plate are loose or the keyway of the driven plate hub is worn. In this case, you can remove the bottom cover of the flywheel housing (or clutch chamber), turn off the engine, engage the transmission, press the clutch pedal, and use a screwdriver to check the keyway of the driven plate for clearance. If the clearance is large, repair or replace the part. 5. If there is noise or intermittent knocking when the clutch pedal is fully released: The reason may be that there is no clearance between the clutch release bearing and the release lever. In this case, adjust the free travel of the clutch pedal, i.e., the clearance between the release bearing and the release lever. It may also be due to a weak, broken, elongated, or fallen return spring, causing the release bearing to slide freely and make noise when contacting the release lever. Repair or replace as needed.

Is it necessary to display insurance decals on vehicles?

After the official launch of electronic auto insurance policies, insurance decals no longer need to be displayed, but currently, they still need to be affixed. Below is relevant information: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance (CTI): Starting from 2018, some regions have abolished the requirement for CTI decals, meaning that only the annual inspection decal is necessary. However, this policy is currently only being piloted in Beijing. Although the CTI decal has been eliminated, this only means replacing the physical decal with an electronic policy—CTI coverage is still mandatory. 2. Electronic Auto Insurance Policies: After the official implementation of electronic auto insurance policies, vehicle owners in Shenzhen who have purchased CTI will automatically have their insurance status verified by traffic police through license plate recognition during roadside checks, accident handling, vehicle registration, or when obtaining the periodic inspection certificate. If the insurance status is valid, they can directly benefit from the convenience provided by the traffic police.

Implementation Time of China V Emission Standards?

20170701 marks the nationwide comprehensive implementation of China V emission standards, with the emission control level equivalent to the European Union's currently enforced Euro 5 standards. Compared to China IV standards, China V reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. Below are details about China V: 1. China V Emission Standards: Officially named "National Fifth-Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards," commonly referred to as "China V," these standards match the emission control requirements of Euro 5. The EU has implemented these standards since 2009, featuring stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from China I to China IV has reduced per-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 2. Implementation Timeline: Starting January 1, 2017, China mandated nationwide supply of China V-compliant automotive gasoline and diesel, prohibiting domestic sales of lower-grade fuels. Notably, Beijing became the first city to adopt China V standards on February 1, 2013, with sales and registration of non-compliant light gasoline vehicles prohibited from March 1 onward.
