Yes. According to relevant regulations, if your driver's license has expired for less than one year, you need to go to the vehicle management office to renew it. If the expiration period exceeds one year but is less than three years, the license is in a restorable cancellation status. You only need to retake the subject one exam at the vehicle management office, and upon passing, you can renew your license. Before renewing, please note: 1. Expiration date: Check your driver's license carefully to know the exact expiration date. 2. Traffic violations: Handle any traffic violation records promptly; otherwise, you will not pass the system review. 3. Regulations on unlicensed driving: Driving a motor vehicle on the road before receiving the new driver's license is considered unlicensed driving. 4. Validity period: New drivers receive a driver's license valid for six years. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Accelerating a Car?

The reasons for abnormal sounds when accelerating a car are as follows: 1. Loose dashboard or console: The engine needs to intake a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinder; larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring." The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Clutch malfunction: Additionally, you can try pulling out the oil dipstick and checking if there is any abnormal sound when accelerating. If there isn't, it might be a clutch issue. The turbocharger generates compressed air flow noise during operation, and the engine noise increases when the RPM is high or the accelerator pedal is pressed deeply; when accelerating, press the pedal gently, not all the way down, as pressing it suddenly to the bottom can cause this abnormal sound.

What is the normal tire pressure for BMW?

The normal tire pressure for BMW tires is generally between 2.2-2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Based on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, in summer, the pressure can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 bar lower than the normal value, while in winter, it can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 bar higher than the normal value. More information about tire pressure is as follows: 1. Common faults: These can be divided into four types of alarms: high/low pressure alarm, air leakage alarm, high-temperature alarm, and tire pressure sensor low battery alarm. If any of these four alarms appear, please stop and check the tire pressure. 2. Low tire pressure: The braking distance will be shorter, and the grip during turns will be better. However, low pressure will make the vehicle consume more fuel. During driving, low tire pressure causes the fragile sidewalls of the tire to continuously compress and rebound, which can lead to tire fatigue, accelerated temperature rise, and potentially cause a blowout at a certain temperature. 3. High tire pressure: It is more fuel-efficient, and steering will feel lighter. However, the braking distance will be longer. This is because high tire pressure reduces the tire's contact area with the ground, leading to poorer adhesion. Additionally, the fragile sidewalls are more prone to bulging.

How Long Does It Take to Inspect a Car at the DMV?

Processing vehicle inspection and license plate selection takes half a day. More details about the inspection process are as follows: 1. Vehicle inspection must be conducted at the DMV in your registered residence or current living area. 2. After entering the inspection site, the first step is to follow the traffic flow for exterior photography. Upon completion, collect the photos, which will be used for the vehicle license. At the designated window, obtain the environmental protection stamp. After the staff registers and stamps the exterior inspection form, you can proceed to the VIN engraving stage. Required documents: vehicle certification, ID card, and invoice. 3. According to new regulations from the traffic management bureau, domestically produced passenger cars no longer require re-inspection for license plate registration. Before registering a new car, there is no need for an on-site inspection; only exterior inspection, photography, VIN engraving, and exhaust emission testing are required. 4. After completing the inspection, proceed to the new vehicle service hall. The procedures at the window are more complex, so the following documents are required (vehicle certification, exterior inspection form, vehicle documentation folder, quadruplicate invoice, proof of purchase tax payment (copy), registration application form, compulsory insurance policy (copy), and ID card). Once the procedures are completed, you can take the receipt to select your license plate number.

What Causes Engine Shaking and Stalling?

Engine shaking and stalling are most commonly caused by a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, or may be related to aging engine mounts. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. A dirty throttle body can cause improper throttle closure or a stuck idle stepper motor, both of which can result in excessively high engine idle speed. Carbon deposits generated during engine operation can also cause vehicle shaking. Therefore, when the vehicle shakes, the throttle body and fuel injectors should be checked first. If the throttle body is found to be dirty or there is excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors, they should be cleaned promptly. 2. Vehicle shaking can sometimes be related to aging engine mounts. Engine mounts are part of the engine's vibration damping system. If there is an issue with the engine mounts, it can cause shaking during idle. The engine may increase its load when electrical systems are turned on, leading to a drop in idle speed. To compensate for the shaking caused by the idle speed drop, the engine will automatically raise the RPM slightly. When turning on the vehicle's electrical systems, especially when starting the car's air conditioning in summer, the engine often shakes. If the shaking during idle does not decrease when the car's air conditioning compressor is running, this shaking is likely caused by aging engine mounts and requires timely replacement of new engine mounts.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLB?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLB is 66 liters, and the manufacturer recommends using 95-octane gasoline. Fuel tank maintenance is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank and clogging the fuel lines during refueling. The sealing gasket of the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel spillage while driving. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This method is commonly seen in some rugged off-road vehicles but is generally not used in modern family cars. In-car switch method: The position of the in-car fuel tank switch varies depending on the vehicle model. Remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method.
