Adding a roof rack to a car will not pass the annual inspection, as installing a roof rack on your own alters the vehicle's appearance, making it ineligible for approval. Here is additional information: 1. Motor vehicle annual inspections include an appearance check: Inspectors examine whether the vehicle's lights are damaged, if the body appearance matches the original, if the suspension has been modified, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Additional installations such as roof racks, body kits, spoilers, modified exhaust pipes, or larger tires that affect the vehicle's appearance will not pass the inspection. 2. Vehicle annual inspection: This is a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation.

How to Solve the High Fuel Consumption of Baojun 730?

Here are the solutions to the high fuel consumption of Baojun 730: 1. Step on the accelerator gently. Gently stepping on the accelerator can save fuel, because stepping on the accelerator suddenly will cause the engine speed to drop suddenly, which will have a drag effect, offset part of the driving inertia, and make the car "tremble", thus increasing fuel consumption. 2. Start softly. Starting in low gear and slowly stepping on the accelerator pedal to accelerate slowly can reduce fuel consumption. If you step on the accelerator heavily to speed up when starting, it will not only damage the car but also increase fuel consumption. 3. Maintain a certain speed. Driving at a constant speed in a straight line is the most fuel-efficient. The most fuel-efficient speed for small-displacement cars is 60-80 km/h, and for medium-displacement cars, it is 80-100 km/h. 4. Maintain a safe following distance. Keeping a safe distance from the car in front can save fuel. If the road is congested and the car in front brakes frequently, maintaining a sufficient following distance allows you to slow down calmly and reduce the number of brakes. 5. Control the engine speed. Generally, the engine speed of an EFI car is best around 2200-2500 rpm. 6. Reduce braking. 7. Control the driving gear and shift speed.

What is drive-mode

drive-mode refers to the driving modes of a car. Generally, there are 3 modes: ECO economy mode, NORMAL standard mode, and SPORT sport mode. Below is an introduction to the three drive-modes: 1. ECO mode: Indicates the vehicle is operating in economy mode. The vehicle computer controls fuel injection, and the transmission control module manages shift logic to keep the car in the most economical driving state. 2. SPORT mode: Provides stronger power output, but also means higher fuel consumption. In this mode, while the accelerator pedal position remains unchanged, the engine instantly increases RPM and the transmission forcibly downshifts to achieve rapid acceleration.

Will a sedan drip water when the air conditioner is on?

Yes, it is normal for a car's air conditioner to drip water. Below is relevant knowledge about the reasons for car air conditioner dripping: 1. The air conditioning is too cold: Moisture in the air will condense on the outside of the air vents, forming a phenomenon of white smoke spraying. Moisture in the air will also condense on the plastic shell of the evaporator or the outer surface of the plastic pipes delivering cold air, causing dripping. Models with poor insulation on the plastic shell of the evaporator or the plastic pipes delivering cold air are more prone to this situation. 2. Blocked drainage pipes in the plastic shell of the evaporator: When the water level is too high and overflows, it will also drip inside the car. If the plastic shell of the evaporator is damaged or the drainage pipes are loose, it will also drip inside the car. If the small heater tank inside the dashboard cracks and the engine's coolant leaks, since the engine's coolant is usually antifreeze, the dripping water will have color and a smell.
