Normally, installing exhaust tips will not affect the annual inspection. If there are any issues, they can be removed and re-inspected. However, if the original exhaust pipe outlet is cut or altered during the installation of exhaust tips, damaging the original structural design, it may result in failing the annual inspection. Here is some relevant knowledge about car modifications that can pass the annual inspection: 1. Interior modifications are allowed: Most interior modifications are generally acceptable. Installing a dashcam, upgrading the central control screen, adding a navigation system, or even modifying the audio system at your own expense will not be interfered with by traffic police, as long as these changes do not affect the vehicle's safety performance. 2. Air filter modifications: Small modifications to less visible components can also pass the annual inspection. For example, due to poor air quality, replacing the original air filter with one that can filter PM2.5 and includes activated carbon is generally acceptable and not subject to regulation.

How does Mercedes-Benz's Off-Road Mode perform in muddy terrain?

The principle involves adjusting the suspension at a fixed frequency within a 10cm travel range, causing all four wheels to move up and down to extract the stuck tire from the mud and restore its traction, thereby assisting the vehicle in escaping the predicament. Introduction to Off-Road Mode: Mercedes-Benz's 'Off-Road Mode', commonly known as 'Car Shake Mode', utilizes air springs to continuously inflate and deflate, combined with controlled power output, to move the vehicle out of a pit. After activation, both the driver and front passenger can bid farewell to difficulties, effectively achieving 'off-road escape'. Other Mercedes-Benz Driving Modes: Eco Mode: The most fuel-efficient and economical, suitable for normal driving on good roads when not in a hurry. Comfort Mode: Ideal for relaxed and comfortable driving on urban roads, selectable via C mode. Sport Mode: Suitable for driving on suburban roads or highways, selectable via S mode.

Can the exhaust pipe of Audi Q3 Sportback be modified?

Simply converting to gas is easy, but for such a high-end car, it's best to also modify the ECU when switching to gas. Exhaust pipe temperature: The exhaust pipe of a motorcycle can get extremely hot. The front section connected to the engine can reach temperatures of several hundred degrees, causing water to evaporate instantly upon contact. If the exhaust pipe is removed, you can see flames shooting out from the engine's exhaust port. Sometimes during high-speed riding, the front part of the exhaust pipe can even glow red. Once the engine starts, the exhaust pipe heats up very quickly. Exhaust pipe maintenance: When starting a cold engine in winter is difficult, close the choke to start the engine, and remember to open the choke promptly after the engine warms up. Avoid prolonged high-speed riding with the choke closed. For motorcycles (especially male-style bikes), refrain from installing windshields or other decorative items in front of the engine and muffler, as this can hinder their cooling.

Where is the compressor fuse located in the new Santana?

The compressor fuse of the new Santana is located next to the engine, in front of the steering wheel. You can see it by opening the hood. Replacement method: If any electrical equipment in the new Santana stops working during use, it may be due to a blown fuse and needs to be replaced promptly. To replace it, first turn off the ignition switch and open the fuse box cover, then replace the fuse. Precautions during operation: Replace the fuse according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, and it should be repaired as soon as possible. In case of emergency and without a spare fuse, it can be replaced temporarily. If a fuse with the same current load cannot be found, one with a lower rated current than the original fuse can be used as a substitute.
