Owners can directly obtain the annual inspection electronic label on the Traffic Management 12123 app. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from the original 6 seats or fewer to 7-9 seat non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles. After November 20th, 7-9 seat non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles under 6 years old will be eligible for the exemption policy. 2. Inspection Cycle: Vehicles under exemption inspection are exempt from on-site inspection for the first 6 years, only requiring procedural formalities every two years. From 6-10 years, an annual inspection is required. The new regulations indicate that the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, while vehicles aged 6-10 years will change from annual to biennial inspections. Exempt vehicles within 10 years require biennial inspections, but only the 6th and 8th years require on-site inspection.

Which Material is More Durable for Car Covers?

TPU material is more durable. Paint protection film, also known as invisible car cover, is a high-performance and environmentally friendly new type of film. Currently, there are mainly two types of materials for paint protection films on the market: PVC and TPU. Due to the difference in materials, their effects, lifespan, and price vary. Below is a related introduction to car covers: 1. PVC: PVC, scientifically known as polyvinyl chloride, is a widely used plastic in daily life. PVC material is relatively hard, lacks flexibility, and is thicker. PVC car covers mainly rely on hardness to protect the car body. Due to the material, PVC films are prone to poor adhesion and are generally not edged during installation. They have a shorter lifespan but are cheaper in price. 2. TPU: TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane material, is soft, highly flexible, and has good extensibility. It is relatively thin and highly transparent. TPU material has the function of thermally sensitive automatic scratch repair. The abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance of TPU material are excellent, and it is recyclable, making it more environmentally friendly. It has a longer lifespan but is relatively more expensive.

What is the cooling capacity of a car air conditioner?

The following is relevant information about cooling capacity: 1. Cooling capacity of a 1-horsepower air conditioner: The cooling capacity of a 1-horsepower air conditioner is generally between 2200-2600W, with the international standard being 2300W and the Chinese standard being 2500W. Air conditioners are usually labeled by their cooling capacity, but the heating capacity is generally 10-15% higher than the cooling capacity. For example, if the cooling capacity is 2300W, the heating capacity is usually around 2600W. Air conditioners are generally classified into the following types: 1P (2200-2600W), 1.5P (3200-3600W), 2P (4500-5200W), 3P (6500-7300W), 4P (8900-9500W), and 5P (12000W). These classifications are based on cooling capacity; the heating capacity can be calculated by adding 10%. 2. Definition of air conditioner cooling capacity: 2500W cooling capacity equals 1 horsepower (P); 3500W equals 1.5P; 5000W equals 2P; 7000W equals 3P; 12000W equals 5P.

Is Installing a Roof Rack Illegal?

Installing a roof rack privately is not illegal as long as it does not exceed the specified height. Exceeding the height limit will result in a 1-point penalty from traffic police. Below is more information about installing roof racks on vehicles: 1. Legal Basis: Article 54 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law." 2. Height Regulations: (1) For heavy and medium-duty trucks and semi-trailers, the height of the load from the ground must not exceed 4 meters; for vehicles carrying containers, it must not exceed 4.2 meters. (2) For other motor vehicles carrying goods, the height from the ground must not exceed 2.5 meters. (3) For motorcycles, the height of the load from the ground must not exceed 1.5 meters, and the length must not exceed the body by 0.2 meters. The width of the load on two-wheeled motorcycles must not exceed the handlebars by 0.15 meters on each side; for three-wheeled motorcycles, the width must not exceed the body. Passenger cars are not allowed to carry goods except on external roof racks and built-in luggage compartments. For passenger cars carrying goods on roof racks, the height from the roof must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters.

What are the symptoms of a faulty intercooler?

Intercooler is an important component for turbocharged engine cooling. When the intercooler is damaged, malfunctions are likely to occur. Symptoms of intercooler failure: The intercooler is a supporting component for turbocharging and is only used in vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. The function of the intercooler is to lower the temperature of the compressed air, thereby reducing engine load, increasing air intake, and enhancing engine power. Intercoolers generally come in two forms: air-cooled and water-cooled. When the intercooler is damaged, it will affect the engine's charging efficiency and may cause engine knocking, impacting the vehicle's normal operation. If the vehicle experiences reduced power, increased fuel consumption, or black smoke from the exhaust during regular use, the intercooler should be inspected in more detail to prevent damage. Intercooler cleaning method: Fill the intercooler with a water solution containing about 2% soda ash at a temperature of 70-80°C; let it sit for about 15 minutes, then shake it back and forth several times before draining the cleaning solution; rinse with a clean water solution containing about 2% soda ash until it is relatively clean; finally, flush with clean hot water at 80-90°C until clear water comes out.

What are the dimensions of a parking space?

Standard parking space dimensions are primarily divided into two sizes: large and small. Large parking spaces measure 15.6 meters in length and 3.25 meters in width, suitable for medium and large vehicles. Small parking spaces measure 6 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, suitable for small vehicles. Parking space arrangements can be categorized into three types: parallel, angled (30°, 45°, 60°), and perpendicular. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements. 1. Parallel parking space: Standard length is 6 meters, width is 2.5 meters. 2. Angled parking space: The slanted length should be 6 meters, width 2.8 meters, with a vertical distance between the two slanted lines maintained at 2.5 meters. 3. Perpendicular parking space: Length should be no less than 5 meters, typically set at 6 meters, width 2.5 meters, with 2.5x5.3 meters being the optimal standard size. 4. Determination method: Generally, standard parking space dimensions are determined based on vehicle size. Small parking spaces use dimensions of 2.5~2.7×5~6 meters, single-lane turning lanes should be no less than 3.5 meters wide, double-lanes no less than 5 meters. Turning sections should accommodate a vehicle's need for a single-turn maneuver. For safety or to accommodate medium and large vehicles, dimensions are often set to 6 meters or more.
