After the new regulations for vehicles in 2021, the annual inspection sticker must still be displayed; otherwise, penalties will be imposed. As for whether the insurance sticker needs to be displayed, it depends on whether the local area has implemented the electronic policy for compulsory traffic insurance. In regions where this has been implemented, the sticker is no longer required, while in areas where it has not, the compulsory traffic insurance sticker must still be displayed to avoid penalties. Below is an introduction to vehicle annual inspection requirements: Passenger vehicles for commercial use: inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspected once every 6 months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspected once every 6 months. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspected once a year; after 15 years, inspected once every 6 months. Motorcycles: inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, inspected once a year. Tractors and other motor vehicles: inspected once a year. Commercial motor vehicles that pass the safety inspection within the specified period do not need to undergo repeated safety inspections. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can still be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) at the vehicle management office before proceeding with the sale or purchase.

Why does the car shake when starting in first gear?

The car shaking when starting in first gear may be due to insufficient power. Reasons for shaking: Clutch shudder, let the engine idle, engage low gear, slowly release the clutch pedal and increase the throttle to start. If the car body shakes at this time, it indicates clutch shudder. Hazards of shaking when starting: Accelerates wear and tear on transmission components, shortens the service life of transmission components, and increases maintenance costs. Causes the engine to work unevenly, which over time will affect the lifespan of other vibration-damping components of the engine, increasing fuel consumption and exceeding exhaust emission standards.

How to Make a Turn in an Automatic Transmission Car?

To make a turn in an automatic transmission car: 1. When making a left turn at an intersection, the driver should signal in advance and stay as close as possible to the centerline of the road to facilitate vehicles behind and those making right turns; 2. When making a right turn, signal in advance, turn slowly to prevent the right rear wheel from going off the road and potentially hitting pedestrians or obstacles on the roadside; 3. The driver should slow down within 50 to 100 meters, honk the horn in advance, and indicate the direction of movement with turn signals or hand gestures. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions.

Why does the engine malfunction indicator light come on in a new car?

New car engine malfunction indicator light comes on because there is a fault in the engine. This situation in a new car is considered a factory quality issue, and it is recommended that the owner promptly visit a 4S dealership to request warranty repair. After the engine has been used for a period of time, carbon deposits will accumulate, which can lead to engine damage, difficulty starting, poor acceleration, excessive engine noise, and other phenomena. The accumulated heat can cause irregular engine ignition, leading to engine knocking. In such cases, the engine malfunction indicator light will illuminate. Carbon deposits in the engine should be cleaned regularly, typically every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Some owners wait until the malfunction indicator light comes on before checking and cleaning the carbon deposits on the engine.

What Causes Transmission Abnormal Noise?

Transmission abnormal noise is caused by: 1. Loose connection between the gear lever and shift fork groove in manual transmissions; 2. Loose bolts on the transmission housing; 3. Wear or damage to bearings; 4. Metal peeling on gear tooth surfaces, tooth breakage, or incorrect assembly; 5. Abnormal gear meshing clearance; 6. Water ingress into the transmission; 7. Insufficient lubrication due to inadequate lubricant. The transmission mainly refers to the vehicle's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation system, and hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

What to Do When Wipers Leave Water Marks?

Here are the solutions for water marks left by wipers: 1. Poor quality of new wipers: The rubber is rough, which not only causes water marks (ineffective wiping) but also produces noise. Use sandpaper to smooth it out. 2. Uneven pressure: This leads to ineffective wiping. Adjust the distance between the springs. Alternatively, there may be impurities on the wiper, preventing it from wiping the glass effectively. Clean it if necessary. 3. Oil film on the glass: Oil film has strong water adhesion, making it difficult to remove even with wipers. To check for oil film, pour water on the glass. If small water droplets cling to it, it indicates the presence of oil film. Use a glass cleaner to remove the oil film thoroughly.
