Does changing rims affect vehicle inspection?

Registering the rim change with the relevant authorities will not affect the vehicle inspection. Below is a detailed introduction to the annual inspection process: 1. Preparation in advance: Check the insurance policy for any errors, especially for the first annual inspection of a new car. If the information on the insurance policy does not match the actual situation, it should be corrected with the insurance company. If an environmental label needs to be replaced, have the exhaust emissions tested at an environmental bureau-affiliated auto repair shop in advance to save time. Clear any traffic violations with the relevant authorities. 2. Process: On-site testing. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to sequentially test exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis for compliance with standards. All items must pass to proceed. The second step is the appearance inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate number, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and chassis number for accuracy; inspecting the vehicle's exterior, including details like the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior of passenger vehicles and wheels. Finally, proceed to pay the inspection fee.

I've modified wheels before. Whether it affects vehicle inspection mainly depends on the size you change to. If the original wheels are 16 inches and you upgrade to 17 inches or larger, the speedometer error increases, causing failure during annual inspection. Oversized wheels also impact the suspension system and increase braking distance, giving inspectors grounds to flag safety concerns. My friend installed flashy 18-inch rims and failed inspection on the spot, forcing him to revert to OEM wheels and waste thousands. Never cut corners when modifying – always choose certified parts matching original specifications, ensuring correct ET and J values. Illegal modifications not only cause inspection failures but also void insurance coverage in accidents, doubling your costs.

How Long Does It Take to Master Reverse Parking?

Generally, learning reverse parking requires four sessions per day, taking about a week to master. Evaluation Criteria for Reverse Parking: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification; vehicle body touching the line or failing to park properly results in disqualification; exceeding 210 seconds to complete reverse parking results in disqualification; stopping midway deducts points each time. Operational Techniques for Reverse Parking: Control the speed: Maintain a consistent speed using only first gear or reverse gear; the speed at which you start should be maintained throughout. Steering timing: Carefully observe during the reversing process, grasp the key points of steering, and turn at the right moment. Control the path: The vehicle's path mainly depends on the speed of steering wheel rotation and driving speed. When reversing, accurately align with the boundary lines, promptly correct the direction, and ensure the vehicle enters the parking space straight.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 3008?

The Peugeot 3008 comes with 2 variants, featuring a fuel tank capacity of 56 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine and all models use a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). Among its peers, the 2021 Tharu has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, the 2022 Xingyue L has 55 liters, and the 2022 Qashqai has 57 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers is measured from the tank bottom to the safety level, while there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means sufficient fuel.

What is the failure rate for Subject 2 (Parking and Driving Skills)?

Around 80%, with some regions stipulating that the pass rate for Subject 2 cannot exceed 80%. Test items: The test items include stake test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate passing, continuous obstacle negotiation, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnel driving, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery road driving, and emergency handling. Subject 2 techniques: When exiting the right parking space, pay attention to the alignment between the dashed line and the car door line. When they coincide, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the left (full left lock) to avoid the wheels pressing against the right-angle corner. After the car exits the parking space, when the car body is straight, turn the steering wheel 45 degrees back to the right.
