Whether a car with a modified grille can pass the annual inspection depends on whether the manufacturer of the grille has filed for record and whether the vehicle matches the photo on the vehicle registration certificate, which means it needs to be registered and modified at the vehicle management office. Here is some additional information: 1. Record change: The car grille is a symbol of the car brand, and different brands have different characteristics. If you want to replace the car grille, you need to consider two issues: filing with the vehicle management office and whether it can pass the annual inspection. Modifying the grille of a small car requires filing, as modifying the grille already changes the appearance of the vehicle. If caught by traffic police, you may not only face a fine but also be required to restore it to its original state. First, you should register and declare the modification at the vehicle management office. Only after the vehicle management office reviews and approves the modification technical report can the modification proceed. After the modification is completed, you must complete the modification change procedures at the vehicle management office within ten days. 2. Safety issues: Replacing the grille also requires considering safety issues. The grille is originally designed to protect the engine. In poor road conditions, a grille with good impact resistance can provide more peace of mind. If the grille is just a decoration on the car, you can install an aviation aluminum grille or no grille at all. If you cherish your vehicle and want to have fewer worries while driving, a stainless steel grille is the best choice.

How to Set Up the Automatic Locking Function When Leaving?

The automatic locking function when leaving generally does not require manual setup, as the car's smart key will automatically lock the vehicle once it moves beyond a certain distance. Thus, the automatic locking feature is triggered when the smart key is out of range. The smart key is a common component of keyless entry systems, consisting of a transmitter, a remote central locking control module, a driving authorization system control module (three receivers), and related wiring harnesses. Based on signals emitted by the smart key, the vehicle can lock or unlock the doors and may also control the opening and closing of windows and the sunroof. Typically, when the driver approaches within one meter of the vehicle, the doors automatically unlock and the anti-theft system is deactivated. Conversely, when the driver leaves the vehicle, the doors automatically lock and the anti-theft system is activated.

What are the reasons for the increase in engine speed?

The reasons for the increase in engine speed: 1. Throttle assembly failure: If the throttle fails, causing the throttle opening to suddenly increase, resulting in a sudden rise in vehicle speed; 2. Fuel pump and fuel system issues: Fuel injector leakage or blockage, leading to inability to inject fuel as instructed by the electronic control unit, causing the air-fuel mixture to be too rich or too lean, resulting in poor operation of individual cylinders and unstable idle speed; 3. Excessive carbon deposits; 4. Air conditioning clutch slipping or damage: Manual transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, semi-automatic transmissions, and other forms of gearboxes use friction plate clutches to transmit engine power. If the clamping torque is insufficient or the friction plates are severely worn, slipping will occur, leading to high engine speed without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed.
