After the 6-year exemption period for motor vehicles, only 2 on-site inspections are required within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For private passenger vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle remains in effect: annual inspections for vehicles aged 10-15 years, and semi-annual inspections for vehicles over 15 years. Vehicle inspection cycle regulations: Operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for vehicles under 5 years old; Semi-annual inspection for vehicles over 5 years old; Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for vehicles under 10 years old; Semi-annual inspection for vehicles over 10 years old; Small/mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Biennial inspection for vehicles under 6 years old (eligible vehicles only need to apply for inspection labels). Since November 20, 2020, 7-9 seat non-operational mini/micro buses (excluding vans) have been included in the exemption scope. Vehicle inspection procedures: Emission test: Queue up, pay at the fee window, and wait for testing. Preliminary checks include verifying engine numbers against registration certificates, basic visual inspection, and completing emission test forms. Violation check: Obtain and complete periodic inspection forms at the query window (present registration certificate). Staff will check for traffic violations. Any violations must be handled promptly. Deposit payment: Pay deposit at designated window, obtain receipt, and complete exterior inspection form. Exterior inspection: Submit form at inspection station. Verify documents and check third-party insurance validity. On-site testing: After passing exterior inspection, queue for comprehensive testing (brakes, headlights, chassis etc.). The 5-10 minute process generates a computerized report. Final review: Submit ID copy for final approval and stamp at main inspection office. Fee payment and label collection: Pay relevant fees at windows and retrieve deposit.

What to Do When the Car's Primer Comes Off?

Here are the methods to deal with a car's primer coming off: 1. If the car's paint is scratched but the damage is not severe, with no deformation in the scratched area and the affected area is not too large, you can purchase a paint pen matching the car's color to cover the exposed metal to prevent rust. This method is simple, can be done by yourself, and is relatively inexpensive. 2. If the car's paint is scratched severely, with large areas and lengths of damage and obvious deformation, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for panel beating and paint repair. If the vehicle has scratch insurance or collision insurance, you can contact the insurance company for a claim, avoiding additional repair costs.

What Causes Excessive Consumption of Car Antifreeze?

There are several reasons for excessive antifreeze consumption: 1. Damage to the vehicle's radiator, causing antifreeze leakage during use. 2. Cracks in the engine block, allowing antifreeze to mix with the engine oil. 3. Poor engine sealing, leading to faster evaporation of antifreeze. Below is an introduction to antifreeze: 1. Vehicle antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in the cooling systems of liquid-cooled engines. 2. It prevents freezing in winter and boiling in summer. 3. Antifreeze coolant effectively protects the engine, preventing radiator cracks or cylinder damage due to freezing in winter.

What is the Principle of Seat Heating?

Seat heating works by heating the seat through internal resistance wires and other components. Here are some precautions regarding seat heating: 1. The seat heating device only functions when the ignition switch is turned on. 2. To protect the heating components of the seat heating device, avoid kneeling on the seat or applying point loads to the seat surface and backrest. 3. If the vehicle voltage drops, the seat heating device will automatically shut off to ensure sufficient power supply to the engine control system. 4. Turn off the seat heating or ventilation promptly after parking to prevent excessive electrical load during the next startup. 5. Do not add overly thick seat cushions to heated seats to avoid abnormal overheating or low temperatures, which may cause malfunctions. 6. Turn on the seat heating switch after starting the engine to effectively conserve battery energy and extend battery life.

Can You Still Drive with a Blown Head Gasket?

It is not recommended to continue driving after a blown head gasket. A blown head gasket can lead to decreased engine power, coolant leaks, and air leaks. If this issue is not addressed promptly, it can cause damage to engine components such as a melted cylinder head, ultimately resulting in engine failure. Symptoms of a blown head gasket include: (1) Sudden increase in coolant temperature as shown on the temperature gauge during engine operation. (2) Coolant overflowing or bubbles appearing in the expansion tank when the accelerator pedal is pressed hard. (3) Oil and coolant stains at the joint between the engine block and cylinder head. (4) A high-pressure gas ejection sound from the engine compartment during operation. (5) Oil stains floating on the coolant in the expansion tank. (6) Noticeable lack of power, significant drop in engine RPM, and black smoke emission when starting the engine.

What Are the Reasons for Car Wiper Not Working?

Reasons for wiper not working: 1. Fuse blown: The wiper may not work properly due to a blown fuse (which prevents circuit overload). In this case, you need to open the fuse box and check whether the corresponding fuse (refer to the specific instructions on the cover) is blown. If so, simply replace it, but remember to turn off all the car's power before replacement. 2. Motor burnt out: The probability of motor burnout is very low, but there may also be quality control issues. To determine this, first turn the car's ignition switch to the power-on state, then try to open the front hood and turn on the wiper. If it's not broken, you can hear the sound of the motor running, and the sound is quite obvious. If there is no sound and a slight burnt smell, it is likely that the motor is already damaged. In general, if it's not a blown fuse, it's best to go to an auto repair shop for a check.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the dashboard mean?

The yellow exclamation mark light on the dashboard indicates a traction control system fault, requiring the traction control system to be turned off. If this light remains illuminated when the traction system is activated, it signifies an issue with the TCS. Here are essential dashboard warning lights that require immediate attention: 1. Tire Pressure Warning Light: This light illuminates when there is a problem with tire pressure. Immediate inspection of the tires is necessary if this light comes on. 2. ABS Light: The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is crucial for driving safety. An illuminated ABS light indicates a fault in the system, requiring prompt inspection. 3. Engine Fault Light: This light, usually yellow or red, indicates the engine's operational status. It lights up during vehicle self-check and should turn off after starting. If it remains lit, the engine condition should be checked immediately. 4. Battery Warning Light: Normally, this light turns off after starting. If it stays on, it indicates a battery issue that needs timely repair.
