When a car battery runs out of power, it does not need to be replaced; simply recharging it is sufficient. Here are some relevant details about recharging: 1. In places with charging facilities, you only need to restart the generator to recharge the battery. 2. If the battery dies while traveling, you can call for roadside assistance from a nearby auto shop. Alternatively, you can use a portable power source for your battery to start the engine. Then, let the engine idle for about an hour. 3. Generally, a battery should be replaced every three years. To determine whether the battery needs replacement, simply check the observation window on the battery. A normal state is indicated by a green color. If the color is not green but another color, the battery has reached the end of its lifespan and should be replaced promptly. Of course, the observation colors set by car manufacturers may vary, so it's important to pay attention to this.

What are the differences between BMW sports seats and regular seats?

BMW sports seats and regular seats differ in terms of wrapping and comfort. Here is the relevant information: 1. Sports-style seats: These are seats designed for the dynamic response of the body and human body during high-speed driving. When designing this type of seat, special attention is paid to reinforcing the backrest and cushion to provide good lateral support for the waist, shoulders, and back on both sides of the body. 2. General regular car seats: These emphasize comfort, but when driving on curves, they cannot support the strong centrifugal force exerted on the body by lateral acceleration, causing the body to tilt severely. This also relatively affects the grip and steering feedback transmitted by the body, and for high-power sports vehicles, this situation will reduce safety.

What are the new vehicle inspection regulations for small cars in 2020?

The new vehicle inspection regulations for small cars in 2020 expand the exemption from inspection to include non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years of use, in addition to the existing exemption for non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer (excluding minivans) within 6 years. Below are the relevant details: 1. New vehicle inspection regulations 2020: For biennial periodic inspections, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection label by providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, without the need for safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. For non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning only two on-site inspections are required within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. 2. Required materials for annual inspection: Vehicle registration certificate; for exempted vehicles, the owner’s identity proof can also be submitted; if handled by an agent, the agent’s identity proof (if the agent is a unit, the handler’s identity proof must also be submitted) and a written authorization from the vehicle owner are required; proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance; vehicle safety technical inspection certificate issued by an inspection institution (except for exempted vehicles); proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption.
