No, a car cannot pass the annual inspection with a broken fog light. During both the visual inspection and the on-line testing, the lighting system will be checked. If the fog light is broken, the vehicle will fail the inspection. The annual inspection process includes: Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether the main assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" requirements. Examining whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations; whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle and whether any changes have been made; verifying whether the necessary approval and modification procedures have been completed. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need replacement. For large vehicles, checking whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or village where the vehicle is registered, along with the maximum seating capacity in the driver's cabin, is written in imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, verifying whether the rear gate (including the trailer's rear gate) has the license plate number enlarged 2-3 times on the outside as required; for individually owned or jointly operated vehicles, checking whether the word "Individual" is written on both sides of the door. The characters must be clear, and no unit codes or other patterns are allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

Below are some relevant details: 1. Impact: Keeping the car idling while running the heater inside does not cause severe damage. The primary effects of idling in place are increased fuel consumption and engine carbon buildup. To avoid potential engine issues, it is advisable not to leave the car idling for extended periods. 2. Idling: Idling is an operational state of the car where the engine runs in neutral gear.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation in Your Car During Summer?

During summer, it's necessary to use both internal and external air circulation in your car. The correct way to operate the car's air conditioning in summer is: first turn on the external air circulation to expel the hot air inside the car. Once you feel a noticeable drop in the cabin temperature, you can then switch to internal air circulation. When driving at high speeds, using only internal air circulation in a closed cabin can easily lead to insufficient oxygen levels, which may cause driver fatigue. Therefore, it's advisable to use external air circulation during highway driving or long-distance trips. External air circulation primarily serves to ventilate the cabin. It should be activated when the air inside the car becomes stale, as it uses the fan to draw in outside air. This means the air ducts inside and outside the car are connected, allowing fresh air to enter even when the fan is off. Internal air circulation means the air blown by the fan only circulates within the car. Since no outside air is involved, it has the advantages of saving fuel and providing faster cooling (or heating).

Why does the X-Trail suddenly fail to start?

The reasons why the X-Trail suddenly fails to start include: Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery caused by leaving the headlights on for an extended period or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also lead to vehicle circuit failures. Incorrect gear position: When starting an automatic transmission vehicle, the gear must be in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. If it is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the vehicle will not start. Some manual transmission vehicles may also fail to start if the clutch is not depressed. Other reasons: Other potential causes include a faulty starter motor, fuel pump or fuel injector issues, or sensor malfunctions. In such complex cases, it is advisable to seek professional assistance.
