Adding daytime running lights cannot pass the annual vehicle inspection. To pass the inspection, the installation of daytime running lights requires completing a modification registration. The "Technical Specifications for the Safety of Motor Vehicles in Operation" stipulates: The luminous intensity of the high beam of each headlamp of a motor vehicle must meet the requirements; when all headlamps (high beam) are turned on simultaneously, the luminous intensity of the high beam should comply with the provisions of GB4785. During testing, the power system should be in a charging state. Under no-load conditions, for motor vehicles and motorcycles, the low beam of the headlamp projected on a screen 10 meters away should meet the following vertical position requirements for the cutoff line or midpoint of the low beam: for vehicles where the height of the center (reference center) of the low beam's light-transmitting surface is ≤1000mm, the position should not be higher than a line 50mm below the horizontal plane of the center of the low beam's light-transmitting surface and not lower than a line 300mm below the same plane. For vehicles where the height of the center of the low beam's light-transmitting surface is >1000mm, the position should not be higher than a line 100mm below the horizontal plane of the center of the low beam's light-transmitting surface and not lower than a line 350mm below the same plane. Except for three-wheeled vehicles and motorcycles equipped with a single headlamp, the horizontal position of the cutoff line or midpoint of the low beam should not deviate leftward by more than 170mm or rightward by more than 350mm compared to the vertical plane of the center of the low beam's light-transmitting surface.

What does the SVS indicator on the vehicle dashboard mean?

When the SVS indicator appears on the vehicle dashboard, it means the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a sensor or that the sensor is operating outside standard parameters. Below is relevant information about the SVS malfunction indicator: 1. Working principle: This light will illuminate when the ignition key is turned on and will go off after the vehicle is started; the SVS light will also illuminate when the engine ECU detects a fault; if this light comes on while driving, it indicates an engine malfunction. 2. Function of the SVS malfunction indicator: The SVS malfunction indicator is a warning light that alerts the owner when the ECU or TCU of an electronically fuel-injected vehicle detects an issue with the engine or automatic transmission. Therefore, if this light comes on, it is recommended to check the vehicle at a repair shop as soon as possible.

How to Align the Car Properly When Exiting the Parking Space?

To determine if the car body is aligned, ensure it remains parallel to the horizontal lines on both sides of the parking space. Make timely adjustments if it is not aligned. Below are several scenarios where the car body may be misaligned: 1. Parallel parking: When straightening the car after entering the space, turning the steering wheel too late can cause misalignment; failing to stop in time after entering the space can also lead to misalignment. Additionally, reversing into the space without proper observation can make it difficult to correct the misalignment once noticed. 2. Reverse parking: Driving too fast during reverse parking can cause misalignment; not accurately identifying reference points can also result in misalignment. 3. Hill start: Failing to align the car body properly before ascending the hill can lead to misalignment.

What Type of Battery Do Electric Vehicles Use?

Currently, the batteries used in electric vehicles are: ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Among these, nickel-metal hydride batteries are the most stable, lithium iron phosphate batteries are the safest, and ternary lithium batteries have the highest capacity. Below is a detailed introduction: Ternary Lithium Battery: Excels in collaboration, offering the highest capacity for the same weight. However, its tightly packed components generate higher temperatures, so ternary lithium batteries have stringent cooling requirements. To ensure safety, each battery cell must be equipped with a safety device. Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery: Favored by most automakers. Although its capacity per unit weight is lower than that of ternary lithium batteries, it has excellent thermal stability, is less prone to overheating, and significantly reduces the cost of cooling components. Additionally, it offers advantages such as high energy density, compact size, long battery life, and superior safety.

Why do 4S stores take back contracts when picking up cars?

The following are the reasons why 4S stores take back contracts when owners pick up their cars: 1. Salesperson's mistake: Due to the negligence of sales work, the salesperson forgets to give the car purchase contract to the consumer. At this time, the consumer should actively ask the salesperson for the contract to protect their legitimate rights and interests. 2. 4S stores avoid risks: Although 4S stores clearly mark various prices when signing contracts with consumers, these prices may be relatively high. In order to prevent customers from carefully reviewing the contract and discovering problems later, some 4S stores will take back the car purchase contract after the car is picked up. 3. 4S stores shirk responsibility: In order to avoid some responsibilities during later services and prevent customers from reviewing the contract again, dealers will take back the contract when purchasing the car or after picking up the car.
