Scratches on the car body do not affect the inspection. Relevant regulations for annual inspection: According to the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," the items for appearance inspection include: all window glass should be intact without mirror-reflective sunshade film; various lights and instruments should be complete and effective; brakes and handbrakes should perform well; equipped with effective fire extinguishers and reflective warning signs; tire treads on the same axle should be consistent; no detachable or flip-up license plate frames are used. Impact on inspection: As long as safety facilities like the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher are complete, and the car's appearance and color match the photo on the vehicle registration certificate, there should be no issue. Even if the car body is repainted to cover scratches, resulting in color differences on the surface, it will not affect the car inspection, unless the car was originally white and is repainted black.

What does MT mean on a car?

MT on a car refers to manual transmission, which uses a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission to regulate the vehicle's speed. It requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be shifted when the clutch is depressed. Manual transmission achieves gear ratio changes by switching different gear sets. A manual transmission consists of a power input shaft, an output shaft, and the gears that make up the transmission. The gears of a manual transmission are divided into: first gear as the starting gear, second gear as the passing gear, third gear as the transition gear, fourth gear as the driving gear, and fifth gear as the high-speed gear.

Should You Signal First or Shift Gear First When Parallel Parking?

When parallel parking, you should signal first and then shift gears. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about car lights: 1. Function: Car lights are various traffic lights installed on vehicles to ensure safe driving. They are divided into two categories: lighting lamps and signal lamps. 2. Classification: Headlights, fog lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, dome lights, instrument panel lights, and trunk lights. 3. Precautions: Checking car lights is one of the simpler steps in all new car inspection precautions. However, because the installation of car lights is more prone to issues during the overall vehicle installation process, it is important to take this step seriously during inspection.

How Does a Manual Transmission in a Car Work?

Manual transmission in a car works by utilizing gear sets with different tooth counts to achieve changes in rotational speed and torque. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to obtain varying levels of traction and speed during stationary starts, hill climbs, turns, and acceleration, while keeping the engine operating within a more favorable range. Functions of manual transmission: 1. Alter the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations at the drive wheels; 2. Enable reverse driving by using the reverse gear while maintaining the engine's rotational direction.

What is the function of the car's A button?

Car's A button is the auto-hold function, which refers to an automatic braking feature that simplifies operation by avoiding the use of handbrake or electronic handbrake. The principle of auto-hold is that the car's ECU automatically measures wheel torque and vehicle level data to determine whether the vehicle has a tendency to roll. If there is a tendency to roll, the ECU will apply appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the vehicle stationary. When starting, pressing the accelerator will automatically turn off the auto-hold, allowing the vehicle to move. The car's A button is a status button; when lit, it indicates that the auto-hold is activated, and when not lit, it means the auto-hold is turned off.
