Car with modified grille can pass the annual inspection. The penalties and regulations for illegal modifications are as follows: Penalties for illegal modifications: Driving a car with illegal modifications on the road, the traffic management department of the public security organ will detain the vehicle, confiscate the illegal devices, order restoration to the original state, and impose fines according to the law. Relevant regulations: For cars with illegal modifications, the traffic management department of the public security organ will not issue the safety technical inspection qualification mark. If it constitutes a violation of public security management, the public security organ will impose penalties such as fines and detention in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law". When modifying your car, be sure to apply to the traffic management department of the public security organ for modification registration to ensure that the car can pass the annual inspection and some routine safety inspections after modification.

Can I directly obtain an automatic transmission driver's license?

You can directly obtain an automatic transmission driver's license, which is the C2 driver's license. The C2 driver's license only permits driving automatic transmission passenger cars and does not allow driving manual transmission vehicles. Automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch, making them easier to control and significantly different from manual transmission vehicles. Holders of a C2 license cannot drive manual transmission vehicles, while holders of a C1 license can drive automatic transmission vehicles. Therefore, the C1 license is downward compatible with the C2 license, and the C2 can be considered a subset of the C1. C2 is the automatic transmission driver's license, and C1 is the manual transmission driver's license. Comparatively, the C2 test is simpler and easier to pass because many people struggle with mastering the clutch, often leading to failure in the test. However, the cost of the C2 test is higher. Obtaining an automatic transmission driver's license, like a manual transmission one, requires passing four subjects: the subject on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; the subject on field driving skills; the subject on road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge. The content of Subject 2 includes: parallel parking, reversing into a garage, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Starting from May 2021, the slope parking and starting project was removed from Subject 2 for small automatic transmission vehicle tests.

Do Volkswagen cars need to add a relay when installing a reverse camera?

Volkswagen cars require a relay when installing a reverse camera, while other car models may not need one. The reason for adding a relay: German cars experience voltage and current instability when starting, with significant output voltage interference. The relay is added to protect the equipment. Function of the relay: The relay uses low power to control high current. Installing a relay allows the signal from the rear camera to be switched to the display when shifting into reverse gear, while also powering the camera. Therefore, a relay with multiple contact points is needed. During installation, only one wire from the reverse gear switch is required to control the relay to achieve this switching.

What to Do When a Sedan Has Insufficient Tire Pressure?

Here are the methods to deal with insufficient tire pressure in a sedan: 1. If the tire pressure warning persists after inflation, it may be because the tire pressure has not been recalibrated. Simply recalibrate the tire pressure on the central control panel. 2. If the tire pressure warning appears some time after inflation but there is no puncture in the tire, it could be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Below are some precautions for checking tire pressure: 1. Observe the tire condition before setting off. Radial tires—commonly known as low-pressure tires—are fine as long as the aspect ratio is not too low. High-pressure tires—which are bias-ply tires with inner tubes—should not have protruding shoulder areas when viewed from the front, colloquially referred to as 'not bulging.' When viewed from the side, the contact area with the ground should be similar to normal. 2. While driving, pay attention to the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, the cushioning effect when driving over uneven roads, and whether the acceleration feels different from usual when pressing the accelerator. 3. Under normal circumstances, check and replenish the tire pressure at a professional tire repair shop every week.

Where is the fuel filter located on the BMW X1?

The fuel filter of the BMW X1 is located inside the fuel tank. Method for replacing the fuel filter: First, prepare a fuel filter suitable for the BMW X1 and remove the original fuel filter from its mounting bracket. Then disconnect the fuel inlet pipe of the fuel filter, at which point fuel inside the pipe will spill out. Direct the spilled fuel into a container. When the flow decreases, attach a hose clamp and quickly connect the new filter's fuel inlet, while also sealing the old filter's fuel inlet. Disconnect the other end of the old filter and connect it to the new filter, then tighten the hose clamp with a screwdriver to prevent fuel leakage. Finally, reinstall the replaced fuel filter back into its original position. Precautions for replacing the fuel filter: Due to the pressure within the fuel system, to avoid fuel spray or fire hazards when removing the filter, it is essential to release the pressure in the fuel system before disconnecting the fuel lines. It is advisable to perform the fuel filter replacement in the morning of the following day (when the engine is cold), as the fuel pressure in the system is lower at this time, resulting in less fuel spillage during the filter removal process.

What is the headlight?

Headlights generally refer to high beams and low beams, while small lights refer to contour lights, also known as width indicator lights. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of small lights: Small lights are mainly used during dusk, dawn, or daytime when visibility is low but no illumination is needed. Their primary purpose is to signal the position of your vehicle to other drivers, not to provide illumination; they serve as warning signal lights. 2. Function of headlights: Headlights, on the other hand, are primarily used for illumination during nighttime or in weather conditions like heavy fog or rain that require lighting. They include both high beams and low beams. 3. Difference between high and low beams: Both high and low beams are used for illumination but have distinct differences. High beams are angled higher, providing illumination over a longer distance, while low beams are angled lower with a shorter illumination range. Normally, low beams are used, but when driving above 30 km/h, high beams can be employed. Additionally, high beams offer a longer field of vision, allowing drivers to assess road conditions ahead. They can also expand the driver's visual range in foggy or rainy conditions and serve as a safety measure by alerting oncoming vehicles in poor lighting conditions. When passing through intersections at night, quickly switching between low and high beams can alert other vehicles at the intersection. Modern car headlights include low beams, high beams, width indicator lights, and turn signals, with some vehicles also equipped with fog lights.

How Should a New Car Be Run In?

New car run-in methods are as follows: 1. The most crucial aspects of running in a new car actually serve two purposes: first, to achieve harmony between the driver and the car, and second, to ensure proper integration of the car's components. 2. Starting with the correct engine startup procedure, always wait for the self-check to complete before starting the engine, and avoid immediate ignition. The primary rule of running in a new car is to constantly monitor the dashboard's warning lights and address any unfamiliar fault indications immediately. 3. Regarding engine run-in alone, the engine has already undergone low-speed and high-speed adjustments during assembly, which is why some cars claim to require zero-kilometer run-in. However, since the car's powertrain involves many aspects, it is still recommended to properly run it in, but avoid high-speed operation too early. 4. For the first 2,500 kilometers, it is advised not to exceed the following speeds in each gear: 1st gear - 20 mph, 2nd gear - 40 mph, 3rd gear - 60 mph, 4th gear - 80 mph, and 5th gear - 100 mph. The main goal is to ensure smooth engagement of the new clutch, proper meshing of gears in the transmission, and smooth power delivery. 5. However, it is important to avoid continuously using a single gear for extended periods to prevent excessive heat buildup in that gear set, which could lead to uneven heating inside the transmission. This may cause metal shavings to form when shifting gears due to meshing issues.
