There is no concept of 'maximum overdue period' for vehicle annual inspections. Whether exceeding the deadline by 1 month or 1 day, it constitutes a violation. According to Article 47, Paragraph 4 of the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Management Regulations': Vehicles that fail to undergo safety technical inspections within the prescribed period shall be issued a warning or fined up to 200 RMB by the public security traffic management department. Only after paying the fine can the annual inspection be conducted. The consequences of overdue annual inspection are as follows: 1. For vehicles not inspected on time, besides compromised driving safety, according to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law', drivers of overdue vehicles will be fined 200 RMB and receive 3 penalty points. 2. For all traffic accidents caused by vehicles that failed to participate in the annual inspection on time, the involved party shall bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not assume any liability. This is because the insurance policy specifies that coverage is denied to vehicles with expired inspections. 3. According to the 'Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles', if a motor vehicle fails to obtain the inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period, it will be compulsorily scrapped.

There is no grace period after the vehicle annual inspection expires. Driving with an expired inspection will result in an immediate fine of 200 yuan and 3 penalty points if caught by the police. I've checked many regulations, and the longer you delay after expiration, the heavier the fines become. It may also affect insurance claims. Vehicle safety is a serious matter, and regular inspections help prevent hazards—for example, faulty brakes or lights can be dangerous. I advise fellow drivers to set a phone calendar reminder and visit a professional inspection station one week in advance. Nowadays, booking an inspection slot online is very convenient, taking just half an hour to complete. Don’t delay to avoid unnecessary trouble and extra expenses.

What does autodown mean in a car?

Autodown in a car means one-touch down, where pressing the down button once automatically lowers the window glass to the bottom. This feature is generally found on the window regulator switch, indicating that the car's window glass regulator only supports one-touch down and not one-touch up. Here is some additional information: 1. One-touch window operation: One-touch window operation refers to a system where the car window glass can be controlled to move up or down with a single press of a button. This feature is typically found in mid-to-high-end models, primarily for the convenience of drivers and passengers, and to prevent the driver from being distracted by operating the windows, thereby improving safety. 2. Function introduction: Cars equipped with one-touch window operation have a two-stage window control switch. The first stage works like a regular power window, requiring the switch to be held until the window reaches the desired position, at which point releasing the button stops the movement. The second stage only requires a single press and release, and the window will automatically open or close completely. The one-touch operation indicators vary among different car models, with most currently featuring the English label "Auto."

Is it normal for warning lights to appear on a new car?

When the ignition switch is turned on, the dashboard indicator lights will illuminate. This is the vehicle's self-diagnostic system, and the lights should automatically turn off after a while, which is a normal phenomenon. If the following warning lights remain on, it indicates a system malfunction that requires timely inspection and repair to avoid safety hazards. For new cars, warranty claims may be applicable. Common warning lights and their causes are as follows: 1. Engine warning light: Poor combustion condition, engine knocking, poor fuel quality, excessive engine carbon buildup. 2. Battery warning light: Battery depletion or failure, power system malfunction. 3. Oil pressure warning light: Insufficient oil level, excessively high engine temperature, improper oil selection, clogged oil passages. 4. Tire pressure warning light: Tire puncture or air leakage, damaged tire pressure sensor. 5. Brake system warning light: Parking brake not released, ABS function failure, non-compliant brake fluid, abnormal brake system. 6. Coolant temperature warning light: Excessively high engine coolant temperature, insufficient coolant, thermostat failure, damaged coolant temperature sensor.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Slightly Shake When Braking at 120 km/h?

The slight shaking of the steering wheel when braking at 120 km/h may be due to a malfunction in the transmission system or uneven wear of the brake discs. When driving at 120 km/h, the shaking of the steering wheel during braking could indicate an abnormality in the car's transmission system. It is advisable to check for rust or looseness in components such as the steering tie rod and tie rod ball joints. Below are additional details: 1. Shaking: When braking at a certain speed, the left and right wheels on the same axle may experience uneven braking force, leading to an imbalance in braking torque. This can cause the wheels to alternately tighten and loosen. 2. Solution: If the imbalance in braking torque becomes significant, it can result in uneven rolling speeds of the left and right wheels, causing them to oscillate side to side. This oscillation is then transmitted back to the steering wheel. There are two solutions to address uneven brake disc wear: one is to resurface the brake discs, and the other is to replace them entirely.

What Does Naturally Aspirated Mean?

Naturally aspirated refers to the process where the piston itself draws combustible gas into the cylinder, which is called natural aspiration. The advantages of naturally aspirated engines include lower cost, better smoothness, and lower long-term expenses. Lower cost: The biggest difference between turbocharged engines and naturally aspirated engines is the addition of a turbocharger, which significantly increases the cost. This is also reflected in the final selling price of the car. Even small-displacement turbocharged models tend to be more expensive than larger-displacement naturally aspirated models. Better smoothness: In many urban areas, traffic congestion has become the norm, and there are numerous traffic lights. Many turbocharged models have increasingly early turbo engagement points, which not only causes delay in turbo response but also results in less smooth driving in stop-and-go city traffic, affecting comfort. Naturally aspirated engines, on the other hand, offer higher stability. Lower long-term expenses: Naturally aspirated engines have lower maintenance and repair costs over time. Turbochargers have a limited lifespan and are prone to issues during daily use. Over time, they may require replacement of certain components, which can add significant financial burden to the owner for long-term car maintenance.

Is it okay to fill up the gas tank in summer?

It is not recommended to fill up the gas tank. The hazards of filling up the gas tank in summer are as follows: 1. Fuel leakage can easily cause a fire: The fuel at gas stations is stored underground where the temperature is lower. Especially in hot summer, due to thermal expansion and contraction, if the tank is filled too full, fuel may overflow from the vent hole. 2. Blockage of the vent hole: Once the vent hole is blocked, negative pressure will form inside the fuel tank, leading to poor fuel supply or even a complete stoppage. 3. Harm to the carbon canister: The carbon canister is usually installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapor at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system is designed to direct the vapor into the combustion process and prevent it from evaporating into the atmosphere. The activated carbon canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process. If the tank is filled too full, liquid gasoline instead of vapor enters the carbon canister, which can cause damage. 4. Gasoline evaporation can be carcinogenic: The activated carbon canister is usually located near the fresh air intake for the cabin. When the tank is overfilled, the carbon canister becomes saturated, and excessive pressure may cause it to release pressure and exhaust. Air containing gasoline components entering the cabin can inevitably harm the passengers' health.
