For safety reasons, it is recommended that car owners install additional equipment after completing the license plate registration. Before registering a new vehicle, any modifications that may alter the vehicle's appearance or performance are prohibited. Therefore, before registering a new car, it is essential to avoid applying non-compliant window films, changing the vehicle's color, installing side steps, modifying headlights, etc., as these could potentially affect the normal registration process. Below is relevant information about dash cams: Definition: A dash cam is a device that records video, audio, and other relevant data during vehicle operation. Once installed, it captures the entire driving process, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also document adventurous journeys. It continuously records while driving, logging time, speed, and location—functioning much like a "black box." It can also be used at home as a DV camera to capture life's moments or serve as a home surveillance system. Functions: It safeguards drivers' legal rights. In case of collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists crossing the road, drivers may face extortion attempts. A dash cam provides valid evidence for the driver. Playback of recorded footage makes accident liability clear, enabling traffic police to handle incidents quickly and accurately. This allows for swift clearance of the accident scene to restore traffic flow while preserving crucial evidence, contributing to a safer and smoother traffic environment.

How much fuel does a Jetta consume with the air conditioning on?

The Jetta consumes approximately 8 liters per 100 kilometers when the air conditioning is on. Reasons for air conditioning fuel consumption: The higher the air conditioning setting, the greater the fuel consumption. The reason is quite simple: within a unit of time, the higher the air conditioning setting, the more cold air is produced, and the better the cooling effect. This results in the air conditioning compressor working at a faster frequency, which consumes more fuel. This is explained by the law of energy conservation. Additionally, car heating primarily relies on the temperature of the antifreeze in the radiator. In theory, this does not consume fuel, as it uses the water temperature. However, in reality, all electrical devices in the car consume fuel, albeit in small amounts. Constant-speed fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy.

What Causes the Smell of Gasoline Inside the Car After Refueling?

If this situation occurs, the first thing to check is whether you overfilled the tank during the first refueling. When the tank is overfilled, gasoline may flow into the carbon canister through the fuel line. After being soaked in gasoline, excessive gasoline vapor may be released from the vent. If the car's air circulation is set to the outside mode, the gasoline smell can become particularly strong. The carbon canister is part of the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP). Under normal circumstances, when the engine is off, the carbon canister absorbs fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank and locks them firmly within the micropores of the activated carbon inside the canister, preventing the vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. When the engine is started, the adsorbed fuel vapors in the carbon canister are then delivered to the engine as fuel. If the carbon canister is damaged, it can lead to issues such as poor acceleration, unusual noises while driving, fuel leaks, difficulty starting the engine, and can severely affect the lifespan of various car components. When such issues arise, the carbon canister should be replaced promptly. Otherwise, if the carbon canister fails, the gasoline smell inside the car will become increasingly strong, creating a safety hazard.

Is the engine of the Alto imported?

The engine of the Alto is not imported. Alto Power: The power is sufficient and abundant. It accelerates quickly on uphill and mountain roads with just a slight press on the gas, without any pressure. Driving in the city is even more effortless, with quick overtaking and acceleration. The power fully meets personal needs. Alto Space: The space is a bit small, especially the headroom in the rear seats and the trunk. Alto Handling: The chassis tuning is excellent. Worthy of being a global car. However, the build quality by Changan is subpar, often resulting in strange noises. The tires are narrow, and the ABS frequently activates when braking. It’s better to replace them with Bridgestone 165/60/R14 tires if possible. But this makes the steering heavier at low speeds, much heavier compared to the Fit’s steering wheel. At high speeds, lane changes and cornering steering feel just right.

What Causes Car Jerking?

Car jerking during driving may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Engine or transmission malfunction: Especially for automatic transmissions, jerking frequently occurs in older vehicles during uphill driving or sudden acceleration. 2. Dirty throttle body: If the throttle body is dirty, it is recommended to clean it. 3. Abnormal throttle opening data: If abnormal, it may indicate a throttle assembly failure, and replacement is advised. 4. Excessive wear of spark plug electrode gap: Excessive gap wear leads to insufficient ignition, and ceramic part breakdown may cause spark plug misfire. If either of these spark plug conditions occurs, replacement is necessary.

Is an ID card required for key duplication?

There are three scenarios for duplicating car keys as follows: 1. Your own car: If it's your own car, simply bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate. 2. Someone else's car: If it's not your own car, you'll need a signed authorization letter from the vehicle owner along with a copy of their ID card and vehicle documentation. 3. Company car: If it's a company car, present company certification and vehicle documentation. Additional information: Time required for key duplication: 1. Standard car keys: For common models like Lavida or Camry, the process typically takes one to two hours from the technician's arrival to completion. 2. Special model keys: For certain unique models such as newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles that require original manufacturer programming, the process will take considerably longer.

How Many Kilometers Does a Car Need to Travel Before Being Scrapped?

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage period limit for non-commercial small and micro vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common scrapping regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The owner of the car applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection office, if they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plate and certificate will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can hand over the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of the motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
