Whether registration is required depends on Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law". If the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no change registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color changes: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region allows the use of film wrapping to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the original color of the vehicle. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form". Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner and agent. Original motor vehicle registration certificate. Original motor vehicle driving license. Payment of all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for change registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the vehicle management office in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must display emblem patterns as prescribed and install alarms and emblem lights. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from displaying, installing, or using emblem patterns, alarms, or emblem lights that are exclusive to the aforementioned vehicles or similar to them. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without completing the required change registration, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to the original body color.

What does car bar mean?

Car bar refers to the unit of measurement for tire pressure in megapascals (MPa). Both excessively high and low tire pressure can affect the lifespan of the tires. The impacts of high tire pressure include: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Steering wheel vibration and deviation, decreasing driving comfort; 3. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern; 4. Increased body vibration. The effects of low tire pressure are: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Heavier steering wheel and tendency to deviate; 3. Increased movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; 4. Reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage.

What are the reasons for the weak acceleration and starting performance of the JAC M3?

Specific reasons are introduced as follows: 1. Poor fuel quality: The use of low-quality fuel in the car can also affect the service life of the exhaust system's three-way catalytic converter. If the three-way catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly impact the vehicle's acceleration performance and also lead to increased fuel consumption, resulting in weak acceleration. It is recommended to refuel at nationally certified gas stations to ensure the fuel meets the vehicle's standards and avoid refueling at unlicensed stations. 2. Check the intake system: When experiencing weak acceleration, the first step is to determine if the intake system is intact. If it is, consider whether the intake system needs cleaning. Remove the air filter and blow out the dust. If it is difficult to clean, replace it. Check if the throttle body is clean, and further inspect the intake valve and intake manifold, performing appropriate cleaning if necessary.

Where is the airbag control module located in the JAC Refine S3?

The airbag control module is generally located in front of the gear shift lever or underneath it. Areas marked with AIR-BAG in the vehicle indicate airbag locations. Below is relevant information: 1. Airbags: The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. 2. Airbag working principle: When a collision occurs during vehicle operation, the airbag sensors first receive the impact signal. Once the impact reaches the specified intensity, the sensors activate and send a signal to the electronic control unit. After receiving the signal, the electronic control unit compares it with its pre-stored data. If the airbag deployment conditions are met, the drive circuit sends an activation signal to the gas generator in the airbag assembly.
