Registration is required. After changing the brake calipers, you must register the modification at the vehicle management office within ten days. Otherwise, the vehicle will definitely fail the annual inspection and may be mistakenly judged as an illegal modification by traffic police. If you only repaint the brake calipers, re-registration is generally not required, but specific policies may vary by region. To be safe, it's best to call ahead for confirmation. Below are relevant details: Legal behavior: Strictly speaking, modifying brake calipers is legal, so traffic police will not check it. However, it is essential to choose reliable brake calipers. After modification, the vehicle's braking performance should be tested to ensure it meets national standards (see details below). If it does not meet the standards, further adjustments are needed. Precautions: If the braking performance improves after modifying the calipers, there are no significant drawbacks, so there's no need to worry too much. It's important to note that stronger braking performance is not always better. Excessively strong braking can reduce ride comfort because the brakes become too sensitive, potentially causing motion sickness among passengers.

Does Parking in First Gear Affect the Car?

Parking in first gear for an extended period can have a certain impact on the car's transmission, and there is a higher likelihood of stalling when restarting the engine due to being in first gear. Below are some parking precautions to note: 1. Do not leave the vehicle: Temporary roadside parking allows passengers to get on and off temporarily, and waiting for 2-3 minutes is generally fine. However, if surveillance footage shows the driver leaving the vehicle during roadside parking, even if the car is not turned off, it is mostly considered illegal parking. 2. Temporary parking should be within 5 minutes: Even if there is a temporary parking sign on the roadway, parking is strictly prohibited within the yellow grid lines on either side of the lane; otherwise, it is undoubtedly considered illegal parking. Although there may be some conflict between the two signs, it is an explicit traffic rule that parking is prohibited within yellow grid lines, and this is beyond doubt. 3. No-parking zones: Parking is not allowed within 30 meters of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations (except when using these facilities). Additionally, parking is prohibited at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations.

Why can't I pass the color vision test for the 6-year license renewal?

Normally, individuals with mild color vision deficiency (color weakness) can still renew their driver's license. According to national regulations, only those with red-green color blindness are prohibited from obtaining a driver's license. Here are the relevant details: Generally, if the color vision deficiency is mild and the individual can distinguish between red and green, they are eligible to obtain a driver's license. However, if the color vision deficiency is severe, a hospital examination and evaluation are required to determine eligibility. Color vision deficiency, also known as 'anomalous trichromacy,' is a type of color vision defect. Individuals with this condition can recognize colors but have reduced sensitivity. They may only perceive colors when they are highly saturated and may struggle to distinguish subtle hue differences unless the wavelength difference is significant. The 'Road Traffic Safety Law' and its implementing regulations stipulate that applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must meet specified licensing conditions. The 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 111) explicitly states that applicants must not have red-green color blindness. Color vision deficiency is not the same as color blindness. As long as the applicant does not have red-green color blindness, they can pass the driver's license medical examination. Those with mild color vision deficiency who can distinguish red and green can apply for a license renewal, provided they submit a medical certificate from a hospital. The red-green color blindness test during the medical examination aims to prevent traffic accidents caused by running red lights.

How long should you practice for Subject 3 before taking the test?

Subject 3 The duration of practice required for Subject 3 depends on individual aptitude. However, since the operations in Subject 3 are relatively simple overall, instructors typically arrange practice sessions only 3 to 4 days before the test. If your aptitude is not strong, be sure to communicate with your instructor in advance to start practicing earlier and secure more practice days. Subject 3 generally refers to the road driving skills test, while the safety and civilized driving knowledge test is referred to as Subject 4. The road driving skills test includes 16 items: vehicle preparation, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, changing lanes, passing through intersections, pulling over, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. For the Subject 3 road driving skills test, you have five opportunities to schedule the test. After scheduling, you can take the test once and have one retake, totaling ten attempts. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, you must reschedule the test. If you fail the fifth scheduled test, any previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and the student will need to retake the test starting from Subject 1.

Why Hasn't the New Electric Car Battery Been Fully Charged After Eight Hours?

New electric car battery hasn't been fully charged after eight hours due to poor fuse contact. Here is an introduction to battery charging voltage and current: 1. Voltage: The car charging voltage is 12V. During the charging process, the charging voltage is mostly between 13.5-14.5V. When charged on the vehicle by the rectifier, it won't exceed 15V. If using a charger, the charging voltage is generally 14V. 2. Current: During the car charging process, the charging current should not be too large. It is recommended that car owners avoid using fast charging. When charging, use half of the rated charging current and extend the rated charging time by double.

What is the reason for the EPC light on the Jianghuai Junling and inability to accelerate?

The illumination of the EPC light on the dashboard indicates a problem with the power control management system of the vehicle's engine. It is necessary to clean the throttle or inspect the brake switch and wiring, and then identify the fault location for repair. Below are the functions and working principles of the EPC light: Functions of the EPC light: The EPC indicator light is more commonly seen in Volkswagen vehicles. After turning the ignition key, the vehicle begins a self-check, and the EPC light will illuminate for a few seconds before turning off. If the light remains on after starting the vehicle, it indicates a fault in the mechanical and electronic systems. Generally, there are two scenarios when the EPC light is on. One is a dirty throttle, which should be cleaned. The other scenario is when the brake light is not working, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. Additionally, due to fuel quality issues, the EPC fault light may also illuminate. Working principles of the EPC light: Traditionally, drivers controlled the throttle opening by manipulating the accelerator pedal through a cable. In the EPC system, the previous throttle cable is replaced by sensors in the pedal assembly. The engine control unit (ECU) calculates the optimal target throttle opening based on the position data fed back by the pedal assembly sensors and sends a signal to the throttle drive motor to rotate the throttle to the desired angle.

What is the maximum tire pressure?

Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar. Other related questions: Is a tire pressure of 2.0 bar normal? No. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar. 2.0 bar is below the minimum standard tire pressure, so it is not normal. What is the normal tire pressure in winter? In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. What is the normal tire pressure in summer? Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset is the operation of resetting the tire pressure monitoring system after the tire pressure fault is resolved. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep," then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the fault light on the dashboard will go out, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete.
