How Long Does It Take for a New Car to Go on Sale After MIIT Approval?

New cars can go on sale 3 to 6 months after MIIT approval. The environmental protection catalog is a step in the emission review process by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China before a new car is launched. After this, the car must be included in the MIIT's new car catalog before it can officially be released for sale. Generally, the catalog is published 3-6 months before the official release of the new car. Methods to determine if a car is new include: Checking the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the date on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date is more than 15 days old, it is considered an old car. Checking the brake discs: Most small passenger vehicles today use disc brakes (at least for the front brakes), making the brake discs a reliable indicator. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs.

As a frequent visitor to automotive forums, I've noticed that the typical launch timeline after a new vehicle's MIIT filing usually spans three to six months—quite a lengthy process. The car must first pass environmental and safety tests before receiving production approval from MIIT. Automakers also need to arrange factory mass production and marketing campaigns, so immediate purchase post-filing isn't possible. Multiple factors influence this timeline, including manufacturer efficiency, market demand, or new policy implementations—like recent NEV subsidy adjustments that may delay launches. One model I followed hit the market just four months after this year's filing, which was incredibly exciting. I'd recommend keeping tabs on auto shows or official announcements for updates.

Is the Highway Free During the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Highways are not free during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Normally, highways are toll-free during four national statutory holidays: the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as other statutory holidays or consecutive rest days determined by the State Council. For example, highways remained toll-free throughout the pandemic in 2020. Below are the relevant details: The vehicle types eligible for toll-free passage are determined by the vehicle type specified on the vehicle registration certificate. Eligible vehicles include micro buses, sedans, small buses, small off-road vehicles with seven seats or fewer, and motorcycles permitted on ordinary toll roads. However, micro trucks, light trucks, and special-purpose vehicles are excluded.

What does the M gear on an automatic transmission mean?

Here is an introduction to the meaning of the M gear on an automatic transmission: 1. The M gear is the manual mode of the transmission. After shifting to the M gear, you can manually control the upshifting and downshifting of the transmission, but this manual mode does not require stepping on the clutch, and the engine will not stall, which is different from manual transmission vehicles. 2. The main function of this manual mode is to allow you to control the transmission yourself. For example, some cars may have slower automatic transmission efficiency during low-speed starts, and you can use manual control in such cases. The following three driving situations can be switched to the manual mode M gear: 1. When climbing a long and steep slope, the manual mode allows you to shift to 1st gear for climbing, which can limit the vehicle to low-gear driving. Unlike the automatic D gear, which frequently shifts, this method provides more power for climbing and also protects the transmission. 2. When descending a long slope, driving in a low gear can help control the speed without constantly stepping on the brakes. 3. When accelerating to overtake, switching to manual mode and downshifting first can utilize the high torque of the low gear for instant acceleration, allowing you to complete the overtaking maneuver more quickly.

How many kilometers does a car need to run before changing tires?

Car tires need to be replaced after running 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, and the replacement time can be determined based on road conditions and mileage. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force through the tires to achieve vehicle operation. 2. To support vehicle load. 3. To reduce and absorb the vibration and impact force during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that may damage car components. The maintenance methods for tires are: 1. Regularly clean stones stuck in the tire treads. 2. Reduce exposure of tires to direct sunlight. 3. Promptly check tire pressure. 4. Pay attention to the maintenance of the suspension system. 5. Regularly check front wheel alignment. 6. Be mindful of driving habits, choose smooth roads to drive on, avoid objects that can puncture or scratch tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires.

How to Use Rearview Mirrors When Driving in an S-Curve?

When driving in an S-curve, the method for using rearview mirrors is as follows: 1. When the left front edge of the car aligns with the right line of the S-curve, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left. 2. Observe the left rearview mirror to ensure the distance between the car body and the left line remains approximately 30 cm. 3. At the curve junction, straighten the steering wheel and then check the right rearview mirror to maintain a distance of about 30 cm between the car body and the right line. Car rearview mirrors are categorized into: 1. Left-side rearview mirror. 2. Right-side rearview mirror. 3. Central rearview mirror. As crucial safety components, car rearview mirrors serve the purpose of allowing drivers to indirectly observe conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision.

How Often Should Car Antifreeze Be Replaced?

For vehicles that operate for extended periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze generally needs to be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter operating times, replacement can be done every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foam formation, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. Method for Replacing Antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipelines, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose gets its name from having five connection points to various parts. Antifreeze flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there are signs of antifreeze leakage in this section, replace the hose or resecure the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue filling until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until clear water flows out. Note: Do not forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. Approximately one hour after draining, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose—this ensures the antifreeze flows quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is purged from the system. Top up the antifreeze until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

What is the oil volume of a hydraulic coupling?

The oil filling volume for a hydraulic coupling is 70%-80%; for ordinary torque-limiting hydraulic couplings, the filling volume is 80% of the rated power. Typically, the oil filling range for YOX-type couplings is 40%~80%. Precautions for using hydraulic couplings: 1. Avoid rapid and frequent forward and reverse rotations. 2. The rotation direction of the coupling's output shaft should match that of the motor shaft. During the initial test run, check if the motor rotation direction meets the requirements. 3. When the motor reaches the rated speed, the driven machine must start operating. If the driven machine does not move, immediately shut down and check if the load is too heavy, causing a braking effect. 4. During continuous operation, the coupling's working temperature must not exceed 90°C. 5. Regularly (every 3000 hours) check the oil quality. If the oil quality deteriorates, replace it immediately. 6. Periodically inspect the positional accuracy between the motor shaft and the working machine shaft and correct it as needed. 7. Regularly check the installation foundation of the motor and working machine to avoid early damage caused by poor foundation rigidity, which can lead to vibration and coupling issues. 8. Regularly inspect the wear of the elastic blocks or discs in the flexible coupling and replace them periodically. 9. Do not disassemble the coupling housing arbitrarily to avoid compromising sealing, assembly precision, and balance accuracy, which could lead to accidents. 10. Do not replace the coupling oil medium with water. 11. Do not fill the coupling arbitrarily, and never fill it completely. Strictly follow the filling instructions in the manual.
