After selling your car, you can retain the license plate. When the original owner applies for registration of a newly purchased vehicle after completing the transfer or cancellation of the original vehicle's registration, they can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number. Below are the relevant regulations: According to Article 12 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": When the vehicle management office processes a change in motor vehicle registration that requires altering the license plate number, it will reclaim the original plate and vehicle license, assign a new license plate number, and reissue the plate, vehicle license, and inspection sticker. Article 18: When ownership of a registered motor vehicle is transferred, the new owner must apply for a transfer registration at the local vehicle management office within 30 days of the vehicle's delivery. Before applying for the transfer registration, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle.

Is it necessary to shift gears sequentially from first to fourth?

Shifting gears must be done sequentially from first to fourth. Below is an introduction to the various gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. P (Park) gear: This is the parking gear, which uses a mechanical device inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car. It should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, when the car is turned off, the gear must be in P. 2. N (Neutral) gear: This is the neutral gear, typically used for brief stops. When in neutral, the right foot can be lifted off the brake pedal to rest. However, on slopes, the brake must still be applied to prevent the car from rolling, unless the handbrake or electronic brake is engaged. 3. D (Drive) gear: This is the forward driving gear. When in D, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. The transmission will automatically determine the appropriate gear based on the accelerator position and vehicle speed, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.

Must the seat belt be replaced if the airbag deploys?

If the airbag deploys, the seat belt must be replaced. Introduction to Airbags: After an airbag has deployed, it must be replaced. When installing a new airbag, special attention must be paid: if the collision sensor is integrated within the computer board, the computer board must be replaced along with it; if the sensor is external to the computer board, it must also be replaced separately to prevent accidental deployment. Since airbags are designed to work in conjunction with seat belts, seat belts equipped with pretensioners must also be replaced. Precautions for Airbag Use: Airbags must be used together with seat belts. Failure to fasten the seat belt properly may result in severe injury or even death during a collision, even with an airbag present. Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag, as these items may obstruct the airbag's inflation or be ejected during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. To ensure that airbags function effectively as a safety measure, drivers and passengers must develop good habits, such as maintaining a safe distance between the chest and the steering wheel.

What Causes the Front Shock Absorber of a Car to Make Abnormal Noises?

Abnormal noises from the front shock absorber of a car may be caused by oil leakage or bending of the shock absorber itself, abnormal wear or aging of the shock absorber pressure bearing, deformation of the shock absorber spring, and other reasons. Tips for solving abnormal noises from car shock absorbers: Remove the shock absorber, stand it upright, and clamp the lower connecting ring in a bench vise. Pull and press the shock rod several times with force. There should be stable resistance during this process, with the resistance when pulling up greater than when pressing down. If the resistance is unstable or absent, it may indicate a lack of oil inside the shock absorber or damage to the valve components. In such cases, the shock absorber buffer rubber or the shock absorber itself should be replaced. The function of car shock absorbers: The main role of shock absorbers is to dampen vibrations. They allow the car to drive smoothly, ensuring passenger comfort by minimizing the sensation of bumps. Shock absorbers are part of the car's suspension system. When ground impacts reach the springs, the shock absorbers prevent the springs from rebounding excessively, maintaining stable driving conditions. Without them, the car body would experience significant jolts. Shock absorbers are wear-prone components during car usage. Their performance directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other mechanical parts. Therefore, it is essential to keep shock absorbers in good working condition.
