Vehicle annual inspection has nothing to do with whether it is a used car or not, just follow the normal annual inspection procedure for the vehicle itself. Below is more information about annual inspection: 1. Inspection types: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for Qualification Assessment of Inspection Bodies - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions", motor vehicle inspections include: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection of motor vehicles. 2. Time: For passenger cars and blue-license minivans, within the first six years after new vehicle registration, inspection is required every two years; after six years, annual inspection is required; after ten years, inspection is required once a year, and after fifteen years, inspection is required twice a year. For trucks, annual inspection is required after registration, and after ten years, inspection is required twice a year. 3. Penalties for not having an annual inspection: If a vehicle is found by traffic police on the road without an annual inspection, the owner will be fined or the vehicle will be impounded. At the same time, in insurance contracts, vehicles that have not been inspected in time are considered unqualified vehicles, and once a car insurance accident occurs, no claims will be paid.

What to Do When an Automatic Transmission Car Shakes During Start-Up?

Automatic transmission car shaking during start-up should be addressed by removing the ignition coil to check for rust on the contacts and observing whether the screws are tightened. Here are some explanations regarding the shaking during start-up of an automatic transmission car: 1. Reasons for shaking during start-up of an automatic transmission car: Poor fuel flow, where insufficient fuel supply at low throttle causes uneven operation of the engine cylinders, leading to shaking. A dirty throttle valve causing uneven air intake and operation results in shaking. Broken or burnt high-voltage wires or spark plugs causing a cylinder to misfire leads to unstable engine operation and shaking. Abnormal transmission operation. 2. Inspection recommendations: It is recommended to check whether the fuel pump and fuel supply lines are functioning properly. The likelihood of transmission issues is relatively small.

What to Do If a Vehicle Fails the Exhaust Emission Test?

Here are several reasons why a vehicle might fail the exhaust emission test and the corresponding solutions: 1. Dirty throttle body, intake manifold, or fuel injectors: Clean the throttle body, intake manifold, and fuel injectors. Generally, cleaning the throttle body, intake manifold, and fuel injectors is recommended every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is used in harsh conditions or is significantly aged, the cleaning interval can be appropriately shortened. 2. Engine oil burning: Conduct a thorough inspection of the engine. Identifying the root cause of oil burning not only resolves the oil burning issue but can also turn the exhaust from non-compliant to compliant. 3. Issues with the catalytic converter: When a vehicle fails the exhaust emission test, a common practice is to 'clean the catalytic converter.' Therefore, cleaning and inspecting the catalytic converter is the most common solution.

How to switch to total mileage on Honda CRV?

The method to switch to total mileage on Honda CRV is as follows: 1. The instrument panel of Honda CRV actually consists of three parts: one is the speedometer, another is the odometer, and the last one is the tachometer; 2. Click the odometer, then click the switch button between total mileage and trip mileage to switch to total mileage. Below are the methods to reset the odometer on the car dashboard: 1. There is usually a switch button for total mileage and trip mileage on the dashboard. To reset the trip mileage, display the trip mileage and hold the switch button for 3 seconds. Total mileage cannot be reset, but auto parts stores can adjust the total mileage using instruments. 2. Car dashboards are increasingly electronic. Early mechanical odometers with flexible shafts have almost disappeared, replaced by electronic odometers and LCD screens. In the past, the odometer could be adjusted by turning digital gears. 3. Locate the position on the car's clutch housing (the position varies depending on the car): some are on the transmission or the driveshaft's odometer sensor plug, then gently pull it out by hand. 4. Insert the output plug of the mileage adjuster into the signal socket of the pulled-out sensor plug, and accurately insert the mileage adjuster into the cigarette lighter. 5. Total mileage itself cannot be reset, but trip mileage can be reset.

What Temperature Windshield Washer Fluid Should Be Used in Winter?

In winter, you should choose a windshield washer fluid with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the local minimum temperature. Here is some relevant information about windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning and removing dirt. 2. Antifreeze performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thus providing antifreeze protection and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with a clear field of vision.
