After 15 years of use, a car needs to be inspected twice a year. According to Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" revised in October 2017: 1. Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within 5 years; those exceeding 5 years must be inspected every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; those exceeding 10 years must be inspected every 6 months; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; those exceeding 6 years must be inspected once a year; those exceeding 15 years must be inspected every 6 months.

How to Parallel Park?

First, determine if the parking space is available. If it is, drive past the space and stop your car parallel to the car in front, maintaining a horizontal distance of about 1 meter. Adjust your mirrors: keep the left mirror at normal level and lower the right mirror until you can see the right wheel, preparing for the reversing process. Then, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and start reversing. Through the adjusted right mirror, carefully observe the distance between the right rear wheel and the curb, adjusting the car's trajectory to get as close to the curb as possible while maintaining enough space to straighten the car. The distance between the wheel and the curb must be visually confirmed in the mirror—never guess. This is a crucial step in determining whether parallel parking is successful or how well the car is parked. Keep an eye on the movement of the corner of the parking space. When it disappears from view, it means the rear wheel has entered the parking area—this is the moment to turn the wheel. As the corner approaches the rear wheel, prepare to turn the steering wheel fully to the right, and when the corner and the bottom line disappear, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right.

Can a China 5 vehicle be upgraded to China 6?

A China 5 vehicle can be upgraded to China 6. Upgrading components such as the three-way catalytic converter and the engine ECU logic can indeed improve the vehicle's emission standards. However, this is not recommended as it involves the original factory calibration of the engine. Modifications that have not undergone rigorous testing may lead to other issues. Below are the specific differences between China 5 and China 6: Standard Limit Differences: The China 6 standard limits are approximately 40% to 50% stricter than those of China 5. China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same. In contrast, during the China 5 stage, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. Emission Standard Differences: Compared to China 5, the China 6 standard reduces nitrogen oxides by 77%, particulate matter by 67%, introduces a limit requirement for particle number (PN), and tightens the durability requirements for emission control devices and the related requirements for on-board diagnostic systems (OBD).

What does the RAV4 auto start-stop mean?

The auto start-stop in the car refers to a system that can automatically control the engine shutdown and ignition. In the case of a short stop, the engine automatically goes into sleep mode, mainly suitable for waiting at traffic lights or during traffic jams in urban traffic. The usage timing and principle of the car's auto start-stop are as follows: Usage timing of the car's auto start-stop: The auto start-stop system is automatically enabled by default when the key is powered on. To turn it off, simply press a button. Note that the light on indicates that it is turned off. If you encounter heavy traffic, long periods of slow movement, or frequent stops and starts, it is best to turn off this function. It is also advisable to turn it off when encountering waterlogged roads or during rainy days. If it's just for daily urban driving, you can keep it on all the time. Principle of the car's auto start-stop: The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal, stops and shifts to neutral, the start-stop system automatically detects, the engine idles without being in gear, the wheel speed sensor of the anti-lock system shows zero, and the electronic battery sensor shows sufficient energy for the next start. After these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops turning. The driver presses the clutch, and then the engine can be quickly started.

Can You Change the Oil Without Replacing the Oil Filter?

When changing the engine oil, it is essential to replace the oil filter as well. If you only change the oil without replacing the filter, the new oil will flow into the old filter, mixing with the residual old oil and compromising the lubrication effectiveness of the fresh oil. The procedure for replacing the oil filter is as follows: Standard oil filter replacement procedure: Open the vehicle's hood and remove the oil filler cap. Then, lift the car or drive it onto an inspection pit. Place an oil drain pan underneath, unscrew the drain plug, and wait until all the oil has drained. Next, remove the old oil filter and install the new one, ensuring it is tightened to the appropriate torque. Final steps: Tighten the oil pan drain plug, then begin adding new oil. Initially, fill to the upper mark on the dipstick. Start the engine and let it run for about five minutes. Check for any leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. Finally, verify the oil level on the dipstick to ensure it is within the proper range and there are no leaks.

How Long Does a Buick LaCrosse Battery Typically Last?

The normal service life ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's usage conditions. Under circumstances where the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leakage or grounding issues, the battery can generally last over 3 years. Below is additional information: Noticeably Dim Headlights: If the battery seems unable to hold a charge or the starter is weak, and the headlights are significantly dimmer, the battery should be removed and charged for 12-24 hours using a charger. If the issue persists and the mileage exceeds 50,000 kilometers with no alternator faults, consider replacing the battery. Measurement: Some batteries develop high internal resistance after prolonged use, becoming fully charged quickly but discharging rapidly. Such batteries may show normal no-load voltage when tested with a multimeter. Therefore, it's essential not only to measure the no-load voltage but also to check the discharge current using a discharge tester. A discharge voltage not dropping below 10V is normal; if it falls below 10V, the battery may be failing and requires replacement. The more the voltage drops under load, the greater the battery's internal resistance and the poorer its discharge performance.
