Green license plate vehicles do require annual inspection. Below is extended information about the annual inspection: 1. Purpose of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle. For the annual review, the owner needs to bring the vehicle registration certificate and insurance policy (card), and it's advisable to check in advance for any traffic violation records associated with the vehicle. If there are any, they should be promptly addressed at the traffic police department penalty center. Its purpose is to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards in the vehicle, encourage and enhance vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. 2. Concept of Annual Inspection: It is a mandatory test for every vehicle (motor vehicle) that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate, similar to an annual safety check conducted according to the 'Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Conditions'. 3. Mandatory Nature: Annual inspection is legally mandated, meaning it is compulsory, and every vehicle on the road must undergo it. To facilitate vehicle owners, the government has introduced policies such as a six-year exemption from inspection. New vehicles that meet the six-year inspection requirements can be exempted from the annual inspection.

I usually drive a green-plate new energy vehicle, and many people often wonder if it requires annual inspections. Honestly, it's pretty much the same as gasoline cars. For the first 6 years, you need to get the annual inspection sticker every two years without an on-site test. I just bring my vehicle license and ID card to the DMV window, and it’s done in minutes. After the first 6 years, you’ll need an annual on-site test to check safety items like brakes, lights, and chassis, but electric vehicles skip the emissions test, which saves some hassle. The cost ranges from 100 to 200 RMB, which is quite affordable. Don’t slack off—last year, a friend of mine forgot and got fined 200 RMB plus penalty points, which really wasn’t worth it. The key is to book an appointment at the testing station in advance using the 12123 app; the process is quick, taking just about half an hour. Remember, vehicle safety is personal safety, especially for green-plate cars—their battery systems also need regular checks for potential issues.

Which Item Should Be Practiced First in Subject Two?

Subject Two begins with learning the structure of the vehicle, adjusting the driver's seat and rearview mirrors, and fastening the seatbelt before driving. The Subject Two exam consists of five items, each with numerous reference points. Due to differences in height and weight, the reference points vary from person to person. When the instructor asks you to perform a specific action at a certain moment, it is crucial to identify your own reference points and reflect deeply. Practicing driving is not always about quantity; it should not be done blindly but with thoughtful reflection. Below is a detailed introduction to the mnemonic for the Subject Two lighting test: Turning on the Turn Signal: Subject Two emphasizes turn signals; remember them well and don't forget. Ignition and Starting: Don't rush when igniting and starting; turn on the left turn signal in sequence. Parallel Parking: When exiting during parallel parking, and also during right-angle turns. Left Signal On: Only proceed when the left signal is on, and don't forget hill starts.

What are the symptoms of a faulty automatic transmission computer?

Here are specific manifestations of a malfunctioning automatic transmission computer: Difficulty in shifting gears: After engaging first gear, pressing the clutch fails to shift gears properly, whether upshifting or downshifting. Gear slipping: In a normally functioning transmission, when the vehicle is stationary, the gear should remain in the designated position or the computer-specified gear within a certain RPM range until the computer initiates a gear change. However, with gear slipping, the vehicle can spontaneously jump out of the drive gear into neutral. Gear lock: The transmission enters protection mode. The computer can detect faults in the transmission. The more advanced the vehicle, the stronger the computer's detection capability. In such cases, the computer locks the transmission in third or fourth gear to alert the owner to seek repairs. Transmission damage: The secondary oxygen sensor will fail to provide accurate data to the vehicle's computer, leading to either excessively lean or rich fuel mixture. A lean mixture can cause ignition difficulties, weak driving performance, engine backfiring, etc., while a rich mixture increases fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, and severe carbon deposits in cylinders and spark plugs. When this fault occurs, the engine warning light should illuminate, and immediate inspection and repair are necessary once detected.

Is it necessary to file for changing tire size?

Modifying the size of tires requires filing for record. Here are the precautions for modifying wheel rims: Size explanation: The modified wheel rims should not be excessively wide. The larger the rim, the thinner the tire must be to maintain the vehicle's aspect ratio, which makes the sensation of the ground more pronounced and significantly reduces passenger comfort when passing over uneven road sections. Only wheel rims of the same size can pass the annual inspection; if the rims are not of the same size, they will not pass the inspection. Registration is not required. The newly implemented "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" classify rim modifications as legal modifications, which do not require registration. As long as the tire size remains unchanged, the vehicle can pass the annual inspection. Relevant regulations: Article 16, Item 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. Without the permission of the public security traffic management department, modifying the chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tire rims, lights, body color painting, and external structure of a motor vehicle, or altering the relevant technical data of the motor vehicle to be inconsistent with the data announced by the State Council's motor vehicle product authority, constitutes modification.

What is the reason why the Lavida USB port cannot charge?

Lavida is a sedan produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and was launched in June 2008. While continuing the "dynamic and fashionable" design language of the A-class car market, the LAVIDA Lavida embodies a new design DNA - "fusion". The following are the reasons why the Lavida car USB cannot charge: 1. Unstable voltage during charging Unstable voltage during charging causes the device to not charge. When charging while the device is on, mobile phones or other smart electronic products generally activate charging monitoring and detection programs. If the program detects unstable charging voltage from the car, it will prohibit charging. When using a seat charger, there is no program for detection. It is recommended to use the USB port of the car audio computer system for charging, whether it is a cable charger or a seat charger. 2. Check parameters: Check whether the parameters of the car charger meet the charging requirements Check the output voltage and current of the car charger to see if it supports your digital product. Some parameters do not meet the requirements. For example, a car charger with an output current of 1A cannot charge a tablet computer. This is because the current is insufficient, and a high-power car charger needs to be replaced. 3. Poor contact: Check whether the contacts of the car charger are in good contact Some car charger contacts are poorly designed, and poor contact may occur during driving, resulting in no charging when you reach your destination.

What Causes the Constant Illumination of the Lavida Tire Pressure Monitoring Light?

The Lavida utilizes an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, and the persistent illumination of its tire pressure warning light is most likely due to forgetting to set the initial tire pressure values. Lavida's tire pressure monitoring relies on the ABS pump to detect tire rolling circumference for pressure assessment. It requires setting default values—specifically, after inflating all four tires, you must drive for a few minutes and then long-press the SET button. A confirmation 'beep' indicates the system has recorded the preset standard values. Subsequently, if any tire's pressure falls below this threshold, the system will trigger an alert. Relevant technical details: 1. Underinflation: Low tire pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and excessive flexing. This generates overheating, accelerating rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact patch, hastening shoulder wear. 2. Overinflation: Excessive pressure overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load. Impacts may cause internal fractures or blowouts, while high pressure also accelerates tread wear and compromises puncture resistance.
