An eight-year-old car requires an inspection every two years. The Ministry of Public Security issued new regulations for vehicle inspections in 2021, stipulating that for vehicles older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means that private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Vehicle inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle based on the technical conditions for safe operation of motor vehicles. Vehicle inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Purpose: Vehicle inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

How Can the Automotive Industry Reduce Nitrogen Oxide Emissions?

The automotive industry can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions through the following measures: 1. Accelerate the phase-out of yellow-label vehicles and old vehicles: Yellow-label and old vehicles generally fail to meet emission standards. 2. Strengthen environmental inspections for new heavy-duty vehicle registrations: Heavy-duty vehicles have prominent issues with non-compliance to environmental standards and are a key focus for pollution control. 3. Require heavy-duty vehicle and engine manufacturers to immediately conduct self-inspections for compliance issues. 4. Comprehensively enhance environmental supervision of in-use vehicles: Currently, the registration process for new vehicles lacks strict oversight, allowing many National I and II vehicles to enter the market disguised as National IV or V vehicles. 5. Strengthen fuel quality supervision: Fuel quality is a crucial factor in ensuring compliance with nitrogen oxide emission standards for motor vehicles. 6. Expedite the improvement of relevant emission standards: Establish and release real-world driving emission limits and testing methods applicable to heavy-duty vehicles.

Does failing to start the engine in Subject 3 result in point deduction?

The "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Syllabus" stipulates that stalling once due to improper operation in Subject 3 results in a 10-point deduction. If these 10 points are deducted, it means no further mistakes leading to point deductions are allowed in the subsequent procedures. If points had already been deducted before stalling, this stall would mean failing the examination. After stalling, to start: press the brake, slowly release the clutch until you feel the car body shaking, with a sense of tension as if an arrow is on the bowstring, then slowly release the brake, stabilize the left foot on the clutch. When releasing the brake, the car should move forward instead of rolling backward. The intensity of the car body shaking is something you need to feel during practice. Releasing the brake too early will result in insufficient force, causing the car to roll, while not releasing the brake when the shaking is very intense can easily lead to stalling.

Where is the electronic parking brake for the Mercedes-Benz column shifter?

The electronic parking brake for the Mercedes-Benz column shifter is located on the center console between the driver and front passenger seats. Many vehicles are equipped with electronic parking brakes, which are more convenient to use. The electronic parking brake does not have a handbrake lever or handbrake cable. Vehicles equipped with an electronic parking brake will have an electronic parking brake button on the center console, and there are two parking brake motors on the rear wheels. The parking brake motors can push the brake pads to clamp the brake discs, keeping the vehicle stationary. The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz column shifter model are 4998mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1404mm in height. The Mercedes-Benz G63 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering a maximum power of 430kW and a maximum torque of 850Nm. The maximum power is achieved at 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque is available between 2500 to 3500 rpm.

What are the penalty standards for the uphill starting point in Subject 2?

Subject 2 uphill starting point penalty standards are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the designated area results in a 10-point deduction. Riding or pressing the solid center line or edge line of the lane during vehicle movement results in a 100-point deduction. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper is not positioned on the pole line and the deviation exceeds 50 cm, a 10-point deduction is applied. After the vehicle stops, if the body is 30 cm to 50 cm away from the road edge line, a 10-point deduction is applied. After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line, a 100-point deduction is applied. Failing to firmly engage the parking brake after stopping results in a 10-point deduction. Exceeding 30 seconds for starting results in a 100-point deduction. If the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm during starting, a 100-point deduction is applied. If the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during starting, a 10-point deduction is applied. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when starting or exiting the designated area results in a 10-point deduction.

What is the fuel-to-oil ratio for a two-stroke gasoline engine?

The fuel-to-oil ratio for a two-stroke gasoline engine is 20-25:1. The functions of engine oil include the following three points: Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby achieving the goal of reducing wear. Auxiliary Cooling: Engine oil has a relatively low specific heat capacity and does not inherently have a cooling effect inside the engine. However, during engine operation, the heat generated by fuel combustion can be carried back to the oil tank by the oil and then dissipated into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. The actual cooling is performed by the water outside the engine casing. Sealing and Leak Prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing the entry of external contaminants.
