Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking performance is decisively determined by the brake pads. 2. Brake pads (brake-lining) are typically composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block.

How Often Should a 7-Seater SUV Undergo Inspection?

A 7-seater SUV requires an inspection every 2 years for the first 6 years, then annually from 6 to 15 years, and every 6 months after 15 years. Vehicle inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual 'health check' for vehicles based on the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation, aiming to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. The 6-year exemption policy applies to non-commercial cars, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles, but does not include vans or vehicles with 7 seats or more. This is because vans and vehicles with 7 seats or more carry more passengers, bear greater traffic safety responsibilities, and are more likely to cause mass casualty accidents, hence they are temporarily excluded from the exemption policy.

How Often Should a 5-Seater Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection?

The annual inspection regulations for 5-seater passenger vehicles are as follows: 1. Non-commercial passenger vehicles: Within the first 6 years, inspection is required once every 2 years; after exceeding 6 years, inspection is required once every year; after exceeding 15 years, inspection is required twice every year. Regarding the exemption from inspection for new vehicles within the first 6 years, many people mistakenly believe that the vehicle does not need to undergo annual inspection at all. However, it is still necessary to go through the process every two years, but the vehicle itself does not need to undergo physical inspection—only obtaining the environmental protection label is required. 2. Commercial passenger vehicles: Within the first 5 years, inspection is required once every year; after exceeding 5 years, inspection is required once every 6 months. 3. Based on the registration date: The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined by the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the motor vehicle license is March 2016, then the annual inspection time would be every February. Additionally, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles scheduled for inspection in February can undergo the annual inspection in December, January, or February.

What do the last four digits of the VIN represent?

The last four digits of the VIN represent: the VIN check digit code; the model year code; the assembly plant code; and the production sequence number code. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), also known as the car's ID number, is unique to each motor vehicle and is commonly referred to as the VIN code. The VIN is a set of seventeen alphanumeric characters that can identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications of the vehicle. The VIN follows specific rules: illegal characters include O, Q, I, and 0; the letter Z is not allowed in the year position; the ninth digit can only be a number from 0 to 9 or the uppercase letter X; and the last four digits must all be numbers, not letters. The Vehicle Identification Number consists of three parts: Part 1, the World Manufacturer Identifier; Part 2, the Vehicle Descriptor Section; and Part 3, the Vehicle Identifier Section. Printing requirements for the VIN: every car, trailer, motorcycle, and light motorcycle must have a VIN. No two vehicles produced within 30 years can have the same VIN. The VIN should be located in the front half of the vehicle, in a visible and wear-resistant or non-replaceable position. For vehicles with nine or fewer seats and light trucks with a maximum gross weight of 3.5 tons or less, the VIN should be placed on the dashboard, visible from outside the vehicle in daylight without moving any parts.

What Can a 220V Car Power Outlet Be Used For?

A 220V car power outlet can be used for small-power appliances, but it cannot support high-power electrical devices such as car refrigerators, car water heaters, car fans, or car rice cookers. Additionally, a 220V car power outlet can be connected to a dashcam, charge a laptop, or charge a mobile phone. Although the car power outlet is 220V, its power is not very high, typically around 150W. Therefore, household appliances like induction cookers or large color TVs cannot be used. If your car does not have a 220V power outlet, you can purchase a car inverter, which essentially converts 12V current into 220V power.
