Under normal circumstances, vehicle annual inspections cannot be conducted in most places during the National Day holiday. However, to reduce inconvenience for working professionals, some regions may allow vehicle inspections on National Day itself. For specific details, please consult your local vehicle management office. Vehicle exterior inspection: Avoid making the vehicle body overly "flashy" based on personal preferences, as this may cause the exterior to fail inspection. Unnecessary modifications not only incur additional costs but also lead to inspection failure. More importantly, "identity verification" is mandatory—never privately replace the car body or engine. Also, refrain from purchasing vehicles of "unknown origin," as this may result in unnecessary trouble or even legal consequences. Emission testing: The inspection schedule requires biennial checks for vehicles within six years of registration and annual checks thereafter, with the inspection month based on the registration date listed on the vehicle license. The first step in the inspection process is emission testing, which controls engine exhaust emissions and helps determine if the vehicle's engine is "digesting poorly," whether it's operating at optimal conditions, and of course, whether it's fuel-efficient.

Should a sedan use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Sedans with naturally aspirated engines should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with turbocharged engines should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the car's manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If a sedan occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after use. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended for low-grade gasoline, using high-grade gasoline by mistake will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended for high-grade gasoline, using low-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the fuel's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance will make the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is mild, it only increases noise without significant damage to the engine. However, if the knocking is severe, it indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What are the internal components of a car?

Engine, chassis, body, and electrical systems are the main internal components that constitute a car. A gasoline engine consists of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. Diesel engines use compression ignition, so they lack an ignition system. Engine: The engine is the power unit of a car. Its function is to convert fuel combustion into power, which then drives the wheels through the transmission system of the chassis, enabling the car to move. There are two main types of engines: gasoline and diesel. Chassis: The chassis supports and mounts the car engine and its components, forming the overall structure of the car. It receives power from the engine to enable motion and ensure smooth operation. The chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. Body: The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and serves as the space for the driver, passengers, or cargo. Passenger cars and buses typically have a unibody structure, while trucks usually consist of a cab and a cargo compartment. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and serves as the space for the driver, passengers, or cargo. Passenger cars and buses typically have a unibody structure, while trucks usually consist of a cab and a cargo compartment. Electrical Equipment: Provides power for starting, driving, and auxiliary car facilities. It mainly includes the power supply, starting system, ignition system, as well as car lighting, signaling, and auxiliary electrical components.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota IZOA?

Toyota IZOA has a total of 8 models. Among them, the IZOA 2021 Hybrid 2.0L E-Four models (including the Enjoyment Edition, Sport Edition, Premium Edition, and Base Edition) have a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the other four models have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. All models in the series adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In the same vehicle class, the Toyota C-HR 2021 2.0L Elite Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and the Honda Vezel (Breeze) 2022 1.5L CVT Elite Smart Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit level. There is additional space between the safety limit and the tank opening, which serves as a safety buffer to accommodate fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount filled may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full). When the needle approaches 'E', it indicates that the fuel is nearly depleted, while nearing 'F' signifies sufficient fuel.

What type of gasoline should the Xingyue L use?

The 1.5T model of the Xingyue L uses 92-octane gasoline, while the 2.0T model uses 95-octane gasoline. Differences between 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline: 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline have different octane ratings and anti-knock properties. Their ignition temperatures also differ. The engine piston compresses air to perform work—for example, 92-octane gasoline ignites at 100 degrees, while 95-octane ignites at 110 degrees. When the cylinder compresses air and the temperature rises to 105 degrees, 92-octane gasoline may auto-ignite, causing engine knocking. Using 95-octane gasoline prevents premature ignition and avoids knocking. The type of gasoline a car uses depends on the compression pressure of the air in the cylinder—higher pressure leads to higher temperatures. Meaning of gasoline octane ratings: Common gasoline octane ratings in China include 92 and 95. The octane rating indicates the gasoline's anti-knock quality—higher octane gasoline has better anti-knock performance. The compression ratio reflects engine performance and efficiency. Generally, higher compression ratios require higher-octane gasoline; otherwise, premature ignition or knocking may occur. Differences between diesel and gasoline: Diesel ratings differ from gasoline—diesel ratings represent the freezing point. Using diesel unsuitable for the local climate can lead to wax crystal formation, clogging fuel lines and affecting engine performance. Due to significant climate and temperature differences between northern and southern regions, diesel should be selected based on the usage environment.

How often should a new car stop during long-distance driving?

According to Article 62 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When continuously driving a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours, it is mandatory to stop and rest for more than 20 minutes to ensure that there is no fatigue driving. Avoid overloading: During the break-in period, the load capacity of a car must not exceed 75% of the rated load. New cars should be loaded below the specified weight and passenger limit, and must not be overloaded. Overloading increases the burden on components such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and suspension system, accelerating wear and tear. Generally, domestic cars should not exceed 75% of the rated load, while imported cars should not exceed 90%. Additionally, to reduce the load on the body and powertrain, choose relatively flat road surfaces and avoid vibrations, collisions, or emergency braking. Avoid high-speed driving: New cars have speed limits during the break-in period. Generally, domestic cars should stay within 40 to 70 km/h, while imported cars should stay within 100 km/h. Ensure the engine speed and vehicle speed operate at medium levels; typically, during the break-in period, the engine speed should be between 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. Avoid long-distance trips as continuous engine operation during the break-in period increases the risk of component wear. Additionally, shift gears promptly while driving to avoid high gear with low speed or low gear with high speed. Generally, the speed for each gear should be controlled within three-fourths of the designated speed range. During the break-in period, it is also advisable to avoid emergency braking as much as possible, aiming for slow starts and gentle stops.
