Modifying the front grille in 2021 does not affect annual inspection. Here are the relevant details: 2021 New Regulations: After implementation, modifying the front grille within reasonable limits without changing the car logo or body color does not require filing. Clarified exterior inspection scope: The new regulations explicitly state that modifications to the front grille, wheels, roof racks, running boards, and bumpers are permitted. In 2020, modifying the front grille required filing, as annual inspection of motor vehicles includes exterior checks, and the front grille falls under the vehicle's exterior category, necessitating filing with the vehicle management office and updating the photo on the vehicle license. Added annual inspection step: A 'safety defect recall' check has been added to the online verification process, where staff will notify the owner if the vehicle is subject to a safety recall during the online check.

Does the Passat have a panoramic sunroof?

The Passat does not have a panoramic sunroof. Below is an introduction to panoramic sunroofs: 1. The sunroof provides excellent lighting, and the front section can be opened. 2. The sunroof measures 830mm in length and 700mm in width, with an openable length of approximately 380mm. 3. The sunroof area is about 0.56 square meters, and the openable area is 0.266 square meters. The function of a panoramic sunroof is to provide a broader view and is often used for mobile photography and videography needs. If the Passat were equipped with a panoramic sunroof, it would offer a spacious interior view and good ventilation, allowing passengers to enjoy an unobstructed view of the surroundings. If the Passat had an electric sunroof, pressing the switch button would automatically open or close the sunroof, effectively improving air circulation inside the Passat and allowing fresh air to enter.

How Long Can You Drive on a Spare Tire?

Spare tires are not related to mileage but to speed: generally, spare tires should not exceed 60km/h. More information about spare tires is as follows: 1. The storage period for spare tires is typically around 4 years. Especially for spare tires stored under the chassis or externally, their surface may appear unchanged after the expiration period, but the rubber/material ages, increasing the risk of a blowout when used. Regularly check for fine cracks and bulges on the spare tire. 2. Apart from time limitations, spare tires also have corresponding standards regarding speed and vehicle weight. Spare tires are used less frequently and have less friction with the ground, and some spare tires are smaller in size compared to regular tires. Prolonged use can affect the vehicle's manufacturing system, steering system, and suspension system, posing safety hazards and causing uneven friction among other tires in the same direction.

What do the terms 'Issuance Location', 'Vehicle Registration Location', and 'Change of Residence' mean?

Issuance location refers to the address on the document, registration location refers to the place where the license plate records are kept, and residence location refers to the address on the ID card. Below are the considerations for changing the residence location: 1. Timing of change: If changing the residence location within the same city, the holder of the residence permit must apply for endorsement procedures at the current residence registration station within 15 days of the change. 2. Required documents: The applicant's resident ID card, personal photo, and proof of residence address, employment, or school enrollment should be submitted to the local public security station to process the residence change. Proof of residence address includes a housing rental contract, property ownership documents, purchase contract, or accommodation certificate issued by the landlord, employer, or school.

Is the Volkswagen Polo automatic or manual?

Volkswagen Polo is available in both manual and automatic transmissions. The operation difficulty differs between automatic and manual transmissions: Manual transmission primarily relies on the driver stepping on the clutch to complete gear shifting operations; automatic transmission mainly depends on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically complete gear shifting. The safety levels vary between automatic and manual transmissions: The neutral gear in manual transmission vehicles causes a loss of power, posing potential safety hazards during driving; automatic transmission vehicles cannot use neutral gear while driving, making this method comparatively safer. Manual transmission refers to manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed change. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually, as the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

Why Should the Walk-Around Inspection Be Done Counterclockwise?

The reason is that the vehicle is parked on the right side of the road. Conducting a counterclockwise walk-around inspection from the front door ensures that the driver can observe oncoming traffic and road conditions from behind. Below are some key points to note during the vehicle inspection: 1. Check the lights: Inspect whether all lights, including high and low beams, turn signals, hazard lights, front and rear fog lights, are functioning properly. Clean them if they are dirty or damaged. 2. Tire inspection: Check if the tires and spare tire are properly inflated and ensure the tire bolts are not loose. Remove any debris, such as stones, stuck in the tire treads. 3. Monitor dashboard indicators: Verify that the oil, fuel, voltage, and pressure gauges are functioning normally, paying special attention to any warning lights. If a red warning light appears, address the issue immediately.
