It is possible to get your car inspected without washing it, but it would be better to wash it before the annual inspection. Annual inspection requirements: If the car body is not very clean, it is best to wash it thoroughly. One of the requirements for the annual inspection is that the vehicle's exterior must be clean and tidy, with all lights and instruments intact and functioning properly, and free from illegal modifications or other non-compliant conditions. The vehicle's brakes and handbrake must perform well, and it must be equipped with a valid fire extinguisher and reflective warning triangle. Pre-inspection check: If the car is nearing its maintenance mileage, it is advisable to take it to a 4S dealership for maintenance and a free inspection. This way, the dealership staff will check the engine's condition, as well as the vehicle's lighting and braking systems, among other indicators.

Is It Normal for Newly Replaced Headlight Assembly to Fog Up?

It is not normal, indicating poor sealing of the headlight, allowing air to enter the interior. Below is an extended introduction about automotive headlights: 1. Function: The role of automotive headlights is to provide illumination for nighttime driving. Automotive headlights are also referred to as front headlights or LED daytime running lights. As the 'eyes' of a car, they not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. 2. Types: (1) By purpose: Automotive lights can be divided into two categories based on their purpose: illumination and auxiliary. Among them, only the front headlights and some fog lights equipped on certain vehicles serve an illumination function, while the rest are auxiliary lights. (2) By category: Currently, there are four types of automotive headlights. They are laser headlights, LED automotive headlights, xenon headlights, and halogen lights.

In 1886, Benz was granted a patent for his gasoline-engine-powered tricycle, while Daimler invented his first four-wheeled car and also obtained a patent for a marine engine the same year. In 1889, Daimler was the first to install a four-speed transmission in its cars. In 1902, Daimler obtained the legal rights to the name "Mercedes" and adopted it as its new trademark. In 1910, Benz developed the first four-valve engine. In 1934, Mercedes-Benz manufactured the world's first bulletproof car, the 770K. In 1979, the company entered the off-road vehicle market with the newly developed "G-Class".

What is the maximum speed a new car can reach?

The maximum speed of a new car can reach 120 kilometers per hour. Below is an introduction about vehicle speed: 1. Introduction: The distance a car travels in a unit of time is referred to as vehicle speed. Common units are kilometers per hour or meters per second. Vehicle speed is one of the three parameters describing traffic flow and holds significant importance in traffic flow theory research. 2. Function: Vehicle speed can also broadly refer to the speed of motor vehicles. To adapt to different purposes, vehicle speed is mainly categorized into spot speed, segment speed, and design speed. 3. Speed limits during special periods and adverse weather conditions: Passenger vehicles driving at night (from 10 PM to 5 AM the next day) must not exceed 80% of the daytime speed limit. Additionally, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementation regulations, when driving on ordinary roads under conditions of fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters, or on icy, snowy, or muddy roads, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour.

What gear should be used when driving a manual transmission car downhill?

When driving a manual transmission car downhill, the appropriate gear selection is as follows: 1. Gentle slopes: For mild descents like urban overpass ramps or rural road gradients with good visibility and no obstacles ahead, you can use the highest gear or neutral coasting (engine must remain running in neutral). Apply brakes appropriately when needed. 2. Mountain road descents: Primarily use gear selection to control speed. For moderately steep slopes, gradually downshift from high gears. If speed remains excessive, skip-shift down (e.g., from 5th to 3rd gear) - this demonstrates the flexibility of manual transmissions. Remember: Downhill vehicles must yield to uphill traffic, especially when navigating curves. Always watch for approaching semi-trailers on uphill sections and stop before turns if necessary to provide adequate turning space. 3. Steep/abrupt slopes: Use low gear control. Shift from 3rd to 2nd gear if speed increases, and use 1st gear or hill descent assist system for exceptionally steep slopes.

Does installing a 360-degree panoramic view system cause significant damage to a new car?

Installing a 360-degree panoramic view system in a new car can cause considerable damage as it may disrupt the original wiring of the vehicle. Alternatively, installing a rearview camera allows you to observe the distance between the rear of the car and obstacles while reversing. Components of a 360-degree panoramic system: It primarily consists of four cameras: a front grille camera at the front of the car, two cameras mounted beneath each side mirror, and a rear license plate camera. There's no need to worry about the installation affecting the car's appearance, as these are discreetly placed and hardly noticeable, maintaining the overall aesthetic consistency. Each camera serves a specific purpose, with the side mirror cameras being fisheye lenses that cover a wide field of view, while the front and rear cameras have a narrower coverage. Usage of the 360-degree panoramic system: The 360-degree panoramic camera is quite user-friendly. For instance, during driving or parking, it automatically adjusts the camera angle to the driver's perspective, displaying the relevant view on the screen to assist in spotting areas not easily visible to the naked eye. This helps in parking the car more accurately.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from Shock Absorbers?

The reasons for the squeaking noise from car shock absorbers are: 1. Loose shock absorber mounting. Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to noise from the shock absorbers. Solution: Tighten the mounting nuts. 2. Lack of oil in the shock absorber can also cause noise. Check for oil leaks in the shock absorber. If there is a leak, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no leak, other components of the shock absorber system need to be inspected. 3. Wear and tear of the rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber can create gaps at the mounting points, causing noise during driving. Replace the rubber bushings. 4. Deformation of the shock absorber piston rod, cylinder tube, or oil reservoir, or sticking of the piston rod can cause noise and lead to shock absorber failure, even posing safety risks. Repair is not recommended (as it is very complicated), and replacing the shock absorber is advised.
