The 6-year-old vehicle does require an on-site inspection for annual inspection, and the annual inspection label must be applied for simultaneously. Below are the regulations on the inspection cycle for different vehicle types and the purpose of annual inspection: Regulations on the inspection cycle for different vehicle types: Operational passenger vehicles: inspected once a year within the first 5 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles: inspected once a year within the first 10 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years, and only need to apply for the inspection label if they meet the exemption conditions. Starting from November 20, 2020, 7-9 seat non-operational mini buses (excluding vans) are included in the exemption scope. Purpose of annual inspection: The benefit of making driving safer is well known to everyone, as during the annual inspection, the staff will conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle. For example, during the external inspection, overly dark window films applied by the owner will be required to be rectified, as this can affect the owner's ability to see clearly outside the window during night driving, thereby increasing danger. During the on-site inspection, the chassis, braking system, and light brightness will also be checked.

I just handled my car's 6th-year inspection last year, and it didn't require an on-site test at all. New cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, but you need to renew the inspection compliance decal every two years. At that time, I just downloaded a traffic management app on my phone, filled in the vehicle information, uploaded photos of my documents, paid a fee of a few dozen yuan, and received the decal by mail a few days later. Super convenient, saving me the hassle of queuing at the inspection station. I still remember how complicated the inspection process was when I bought the car in its first year. Now the policy has been optimized, and new cars enjoy this benefit, but everyone must remember the deadlines—if you miss it and get caught by traffic police, you'll be fined. Regular vehicle condition checks are still necessary. Safe driving comes first, so don't slack off just because the process is simple. Keeping your car well-maintained also extends its lifespan.

Which Fuse Causes Complete Power Loss When Blown in a Car?

When the main fuse of a car blows, it results in a complete loss of electrical power. Fuses are typically consolidated in a single location, known as the fuse box. Generally, vehicles are equipped with two fuse boxes: one located inside the engine compartment and another situated either on the left side of the steering wheel or inside the glove compartment. Below is relevant information about automotive fuses: 1. Function: Automotive fuses are a type of current fuse. When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will blow within seconds, thereby protecting the circuit. They are commonly used for overcurrent protection in automotive circuits and also in industrial equipment. 2. Classification: Automotive fuses can be divided into three types: blade-type fuses, bolt-type fuses, and glass tube fuses.

Is a Tire Pressure of 1.9 Normal?

A tire pressure of 1.9 is not normal, and it is recommended to inflate the tires promptly. To determine the appropriate tire pressure range for your car, you can check the fuel tank cap. Low tire pressure causes significant deformation of the tire sidewall during driving, accelerating the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, greatly reducing tire lifespan, and increasing the risk of a blowout. If you pay close attention, you may also notice an increase in fuel consumption. The recommended tire pressure varies depending on the vehicle model, and the specific tire pressure should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The manufacturer's recommended values can usually be found in the following locations: 1. Vehicle user manual; 2. Label on the driver's side door; 3. Drawer next to the driver's seat; 4. Fuel tank cap door.

How to Use Hazard Lights?

Hazard lights can only be used under certain special circumstances. There is a red triangular button in the car, and pressing this button will turn on the hazard lights. Hazard lights are essentially the left and right turn signals on the vehicle. When the hazard light switch is pressed, both the left and right turn signals will flash simultaneously. Turn signals are an important lighting system in a car. When changing lanes or making a turn, it is necessary to activate the turn signals in advance. Only in this way can drivers behind understand your intentions. Another important lighting system in a car is the brake lights. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake lights will illuminate, alerting drivers behind to maintain a safe distance and prevent rear-end collisions.
