New car owners can choose their own license plate numbers, as long as the number does not conflict with existing ones and meets the required conditions. It is important to note that when selecting a number at the vehicle management office, each selection operation is limited to 5 minutes. If the time limit is exceeded, the system will automatically exit, and the owner will need to queue again for the next selection. However, there is no time limit for selecting a number online. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other related information. 2. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details through the plate number.

I recently bought a new car and found the process of choosing a license plate number myself quite simple. Nowadays, many local DMVs offer self-selection services, such as entering desired letter and number combinations on their official websites. However, there are rules limiting the total length and character types—no special symbols are allowed, and number sequences cannot be repeated or contain sensitive content. I chose a meaningful plate like 'CH2023' because I switched to a new energy vehicle this year and wanted to leave a mark. Not all ideas get approved, though; popular numbers like '888' were already taken, and the fee was just a couple hundred bucks. I recommend trying different combinations multiple times, as the system will display available options. This makes driving more fun for me—every time I see the license plate, it reminds me of this story. I also share tips with fellow car enthusiasts on how to avoid selection pitfalls, like avoiding overly long combinations or numbers with unlucky homophones, which can waste time and require reapplying.

How to Unclog a Clogged Fuel Tank Vent Pipe?

When the fuel tank vent pipe of a car becomes clogged, you can try to unclog it by inserting a sturdy plastic pipe into it. If this doesn't solve the problem, it is recommended that the car owner visit a 4S shop or an auto repair shop to have it handled by professionals. Below is some extended information about the fuel tank: 1. The vent hole of a car's fuel tank is located on the fuel tank cap. There are two valves on the fuel tank: an air valve and a steam valve. When the fuel pump draws fuel, the pressure inside the tank decreases. When the pressure drops below 98 kPa, the air valve opens to allow air into the tank. Since gasoline is volatile, when some of the gasoline in the tank vaporizes, it increases the pressure inside the tank. When the pressure reaches 120 kPa, the steam valve opens to release gasoline vapor, which is not directly emitted into the atmosphere but passes through the activated carbon canister to the intake manifold and is eventually discharged through the exhaust pipe. 2. If the car engine fails to start after refueling, or if the car jerks while driving, it may be due to an overfilled fuel tank. Once the vent hole is clogged, negative pressure can form inside the tank, leading to poor fuel supply or even a complete lack of fuel. When refueling, it's sufficient to stop when the fuel gun automatically shuts off, and no additional fuel should be added. However, if the fuel level in the tank is consistently too low, it can affect the cooling of the fuel pump and shorten its lifespan. It is recommended that car owners refuel when the fuel gauge indicates a remaining fuel level of 1/4.

How to Deal with Fogging on the Outside of Car Windows in Summer Rain?

Here are methods to prevent or eliminate fogging on the outside of car windows during summer rain: Method 1: Use anti-fog spray or similar preventive measures. Spray a small amount of anti-fog agent on the car windows (inner side) and wipe it clean. This will remove dirt and stains from the windows while forming a thin, transparent protective film that effectively prevents moisture from condensing on the glass and forming fog. Method 2: Use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car, if the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the high humidity from exhaled breath can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. In this case, turn on the air conditioning and direct cold air toward the windshield to use its dehumidifying function and remove the fog. Method 3: Use the air conditioning's warm air to reduce the temperature difference and eliminate fog. Besides using warm air in winter, you can also blow warm air onto the windows during summer rain to quickly raise the temperature of the front windshield and reduce the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window. This can effectively prevent heavy fogging on the windshield. However, it should be noted that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it may take longer to completely remove all the fog.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height of a Golf?

To adjust the headlight height of a Golf, you can find the vehicle information in the central control screen, select settings, then the lighting option, and choose a number from 1 to 6, where a higher number indicates a lower height. Additionally, the owner can open the engine hood, locate the white plastic knob near the headlight, and use a hex key to adjust the headlight height. Below are the functions of adjusting car headlights: 1. On undulating roads, direct headlight beams may not provide the best driving visibility. Adjusting the headlight height can illuminate the required visibility ahead on uneven roads, ensuring driving safety, especially during prolonged uphill or downhill driving at night. 2. Since a car is not stationary, when passengers are seated in the front or rear, or heavy items are placed in the trunk, the car's suspension travel changes, causing the body to be in a non-horizontal position. In such cases, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the headlight height to ensure driving safety when the vehicle's body height changes. 3. The headlight height adjustment is typically located behind the car's headlight. Nowadays, more and more models feature a manual adjustment knob inside, allowing the headlight beam height to be adjusted freely. Some high-end luxury cars even have headlights with sensors that automatically adjust the height.
