The flashing tire pressure warning light indicates that you should not continue driving and should promptly visit a maintenance facility for inspection. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically checks tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts you to air leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure alerts: Abnormal Tire Pressure: The system typically triggers an alert when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset Tire Pressure Monitoring: If the system isn't reset after inflating the tires, it continues to display previously recorded data, causing the warning light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the warning light will activate. Sensor damage necessitates replacement with a new component.

Does a Special Purpose Vehicle Remain as Such After Transfer of Ownership?

Does a Special Purpose Vehicle Remain as Such After Transfer of Ownership? Special Purpose Vehicle Procedures: It can extend the scrapping period to 30 years, and also exempt the vehicle from urban traffic restrictions and highway speed limits. Essentially, it sheds its identity as a truck and gains the same road rights as a passenger car. The special purpose vehicle procedure is only applicable to new vehicles and does not apply to pickup trucks that have already been registered. Moreover, the procedures for special purpose vehicles in first-tier cities are relatively strict, and successful registrations are rare. Procedure Application Process: Purchase insurance: According to national policies, motor vehicle insurance must be obtained before registering a new vehicle. Pay the vehicle purchase surtax; submit the vehicle purchase surtax application form and the third copy of the invoice (tax declaration copy). Small special purpose vehicle inspection: original vehicle qualification certificate (inspection can be waived for exempted vehicles). The small special purpose vehicle can be used after registration. Special Purpose Vehicle: Full name: 'Light Non-Cargo Special Purpose Vehicle.' This type of vehicle is commonly seen on daily roads, such as the Nissan NP300 often used by police or for engineering rescue. These vehicles inherently fall under the category of trucks, but because they are classified as 'special purpose vehicles,' they are allowed to drive in urban areas. Simply put, with this procedure, the vehicle can enjoy the same road rights as a passenger car, thereby avoiding urban traffic restrictions and highway speed limits.

How long does it take for 12123 to confirm the selected license plate number?

12123 takes about three days to confirm the selected license plate number. Waiting time: It usually takes three working days for the internal network to confirm the review. In many cases, the review has already been approved, but it still shows as waiting for internal network confirmation. This is because the traffic police will update the information only after uploading the internal data, which does not affect the process. The vehicle management office will directly mail the license plate to the owner's address, so there is no need to worry about how it is displayed on the APP. Notes for random selection: For random selection, users need to pay attention to the parameter of the interface message, which indicates how many times the current vehicle has left for random selection. This parameter is the limit for each random selection of the current vehicle by the user. Once this limit is exceeded, the user will no longer be able to randomly select a license plate for the current vehicle. If the user fails to confirm the internet pre-selected number at the vehicle management office within the validity period of the pre-selected number, the user will be added to the internet pre-selected number blacklist. The user will not be able to pre-select a license plate number online, and the blacklist will be automatically removed after two years.

Should the turn signal be used throughout the entire ramp?

Before entering the ramp, use the right turn signal. After entering the ramp, switch to the left turn signal to indicate highway driving. At this time, pay attention to the left rearview mirror, watch for vehicles approaching from behind, and take care to yield to avoid traffic accidents. Once on the highway, quickly accelerate the vehicle speed to 120 km/h. Here are some precautions for highway driving: 1. Control driving speed: As is well known, highways have good road surfaces, and many people tend to speed on them, which is not conducive to driving safety. The higher the speed, the greater the centrifugal braking distance, and the worse the vehicle's handling stability. Additionally, excessive speed shortens the driver's sight distance and increases the likelihood of misjudgment. Therefore, controlling driving speed is the primary condition for ensuring highway driving safety. 2. Avoid driving too slowly: In China, the minimum speed limit on highways is 60 km/h under normal driving conditions. Driving too slowly can, on one hand, affect vehicles in the same lane and prevent the highway from realizing its intended fast and efficient advantages. On the other hand, it can easily cause traffic congestion or disrupt the driving order with subsequent vehicles continuously overtaking. 3. Avoid following too closely: A safe following distance should vary according to driving speed, weather, and road conditions. The faster the speed, the greater the following distance should be, especially during snow, rain, fog, or icy road conditions, where the distance should be doubled.

What are the benefits of delaying license plate registration?

The benefit of delaying license plate registration is avoiding fines. Validity period of temporary license plates: After a new car is sold, temporary license plates are issued with an expiration date. The official license plates must be registered before the temporary plates expire. If, due to special reasons, the official license plates cannot be registered in time, an application can be made to renew the temporary license plates. According to the validity period of temporary license plates, official registration is generally required within 15 to 30 days. Vehicle license plate registration is processed at the local vehicle management office. There are three opportunities to choose a number, and one must be selected within these three attempts as the license plate number. License plate registration for purchased vehicles can be processed across different regions. The process may vary depending on the region, so specific details should be confirmed with the local vehicle management office. Insurance claims with temporary license plates: If a vehicle does not have a license plate issued by the vehicle management department, insurance claims will not be processed in case of an accident. Generally, insurance companies require two prerequisites for processing claims: first, the vehicle must have a driving license or license plate number issued by the public traffic management department; second, the vehicle must pass the inspection by the public traffic management department within the specified period, with annual inspections and reviews completed on time. Therefore, it is best to register the license plate promptly if the vehicle is to be driven on the road.

What is the installation direction of the parking diesel heater fuel pump?

The installation direction of the parking diesel heater fuel pump is with the nozzle end facing upwards, at an angle of approximately 15-35 degrees. Fuel pump installation direction and precautions: Before installing the fuel pump, it is necessary to first place the shock-absorbing rubber pad on the fuel pump to prevent it from vibrating and falling off. Then, select the appropriate installation position for the fuel pump and secure it to the vehicle body. When installing the fuel pump, install a diesel filter at the front end of the fuel inlet nozzle, with the fuel outlet nozzle end facing upwards at an angle of approximately 15-35 degrees. When selecting the fuel pipes at both ends of the fuel pump, the length should not exceed 5 meters; otherwise, the oil pressure may be insufficient to deliver fuel to the diesel heater. Reasons why the diesel heater fuel pump does not work: The reason the diesel heater fuel pump does not work could be that the fuel pipe is too long, and the oil pressure cannot support fuel transmission, leading to insufficient fuel supply and the pump stopping. Additionally, if the fuel pump is internally damaged or clogged with carbon deposits, it may also obstruct fuel supply, requiring disassembly for cleaning and inspection. If the damage is severe, a new diesel heater fuel pump may need to be replaced. If there is air in the diesel engine's fuel passage or the fuel in the tank is exhausted, the engine will not start, and diesel needs to be added. When selecting diesel, it is advisable to choose higher-quality diesel, as good diesel has minimal evaporation loss and can effectively improve the impact of oil evaporation on fuel economy, fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and engine wear under high-temperature conditions.
