According to the "Regulations on Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Procedures," repainting wheel hubs does not require reporting, but the size of the wheel hubs cannot be changed. For changes to the vehicle body color, Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that if the color change area does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's surface, no change registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and registered within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for Vehicle Color Change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region permits color changes. If the region does not support this practice, the filing procedure cannot be processed after the change, and the vehicle must be restored to its original color. Documents required for applying to change the vehicle body color: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form." Identity proof of the vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for change registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. Change of the vehicle owner's residence in or out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must display emblem patterns as prescribed and install alarms and signal lights. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from displaying, installing, or using emblem patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without following the prescribed change registration procedure, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to the original body color.

What are the reasons for the car not responding when pressing the car key?

Specific reasons for the car not responding when pressing the car key are as follows: 1. Nearby interference. Car remote keys transmit signals via radio waves, which are then received by the car's receiver to execute corresponding actions. Facilities such as high-voltage power towers, radio base stations, or even thunderstorms and heavy fog can interfere with radio waves, causing the car key to be unresponsive despite having power. 2. Building obstruction. Radio waves have a certain penetration capability, allowing remote operation even through a wall or building. However, as the battery power decreases, the strength of the radio waves is affected. While normal face-to-face operation may work, the waves may fail to penetrate buildings. 3. Low battery power. As mentioned above, as the battery power decreases, the range and strength of the radio waves diminish. For example, at full charge, remote operation might work from 100 meters away, but with half the battery left, the operational distance might reduce to only 50 meters. If you operate the key from 50 meters away, you might only see the indicator light on the key but no response from the car. 4. Loss of remote key password. Exposing the key to strong magnetic fields or high temperatures can cause the remote key password to be lost, resulting in the car key being unresponsive despite having power. In this case, you need to visit a 4S shop or a professional car key store to re-match the remote key. 5. Faulty remote key circuit board. A faulty remote key circuit board exhibits symptoms similar to a lost password, but the difference is that the remote key can no longer be re-matched and must be replaced. At a 4S shop, replacing the key involves using a blank remote key sent by the manufacturer and matching it with your car.

What are the details of the fuel injector recall for the 2015 Highlander?

The following is a detailed introduction to the fuel injector recall for the 2015 Highlander: 1. Defect description: Due to manufacturing deviations in the assembly process of internal components of the high-pressure fuel pump at the parts production factory, some components were not sufficiently tightened, which may lead to abnormal wear inside the high-pressure fuel pump during use. Influenced by the movement of internal components, fatigue cracks may develop at the welded joints of the high-pressure fuel pump. 2. Possible consequences: During use, abnormal wear may occur inside the high-pressure fuel pump, and influenced by the movement of internal components, fatigue cracks may develop at the welded joints of the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially leading to fuel leakage. In extreme cases, the risk of vehicle fire may increase, posing a safety hazard. 3. Recall repair measures: Replace the high-pressure fuel pump with a qualified one for the affected vehicles.

What to Do About Windshield Wiper Noise?

Windshield wiper linkage mechanisms can experience aging, with bushings wearing out or even falling off. Therefore, it's necessary to inspect the wiper arms or linkage bushings. Wiper blade issues can also cause noise. Over time, blades may age and harden. It's best to directly replace them with new wiper blades. Noise may result from foreign objects caught between the wiper blade and windshield. Owners should check and remove any debris from the wiper blades or beneath them. Pay attention to details in daily maintenance. Properly care for the wipers, clean the gaps, ensure smooth operation to extend their lifespan, and prevent windshield damage.

What types of insurance should be purchased for a car?

Generally, the following types of insurance can be purchased for a car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance that must be purchased before registering the vehicle at the vehicle management office. It is compulsory and must be paid on time. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This insurance serves as an effective supplement to the compulsory insurance, as the compensation limit of the compulsory insurance is limited and relatively low. Third-party liability insurance offers more comprehensive coverage. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance compensates for the loss of your own vehicle. The premium for vehicle damage insurance is closely related to the purchase price of the vehicle and the number of seats. Generally, the higher the vehicle price, the higher the premium. 4. Spontaneous Combustion Loss Insurance: This insurance mainly covers the liability for compensation due to spontaneous combustion caused by aging circuits or fuel supply issues. In case of accidental fire, you can apply for insurance compensation.
