Fifteen days later, go to the license issuance hall to collect the iron license plate and vehicle registration certificate for your motor vehicle. Car owners in Shenzhen who need to register their vehicles should bring all the required documents for the new vehicle inspection, which can be completed in one day. Generally, after the process is completed, the license plate needs to be manufactured, so it cannot be obtained on the same day. It usually takes about 5 working days to collect the license plate. Below is additional information about vehicle registration in Shenzhen: 1. Handling related procedures at the Shenzhen service window can be completed in up to two days: This means that if you handle the registration of a new car yourself and have all the necessary documents, the process can be completed in three days, and you will receive a notification once the service is completed. 2. Collecting the license plate: Bring the temporary license plate, payment receipt, the original and a copy of the car owner's ID, and the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate. Collecting the certificate: Bring the acceptance receipt, payment receipt, and the original ID of the car owner. Note: If you authorize someone else to handle the process on your behalf, you will also need to provide a standardized power of attorney signed by both parties, as well as the original and a copy of the agent's ID.

When I just got my license plate in Shenzhen, I was also checking the logistics info every day. Normally, it takes 3 working days to make the metal plate after the vehicle inspection is passed, and then 1-2 days for postal delivery to your home, making the whole cycle about 4-7 days. Last week, my colleague applied for a new energy vehicle plate and received the express delivery on the fourth day. However, if it's the end of the month or during peak business periods at the DMV, it might take up to 10 days. Remember to make good use of the temporary plate—currently, temporary plates in Shenzhen are valid for 15 days, which is enough time to wait for the metal plate. It's best to fill in the accurate address in the 12123 APP in advance. If the address is written incorrectly, you’ll have to go to the DMV to reapply, which is really troublesome.

This is a frequent topic in our Shenzhen car owners' group. The DMV's license plate production efficiency is quite stable - when I replaced my plates last month, the vehicle inspection was on Wednesday and the plates were shipped by Friday. The key factor is the mailing process: EMS usually delivers locally within one day, but delays may occur during heavy rain or system upgrades. My suggestion is to immediately verify mailing information on the Traffic Management 12123 app after selecting your plate number, making sure to include street addresses. If there's no update after 7 days, directly call 11183 to track the express number. As a reminder, don't trust scalpers' expedited services - it's completely unnecessary to pay extra.

I'm very familiar with the Shenzhen license plate application process. Now it's fully digitized, and car owners basically don't need to run around: after vehicle inspection, the information automatically enters the system, the license plate factory completes production within 24 hours upon receiving the instruction, and transfers to EMS the same day. Delivery time depends on the area, with downtown areas arriving the next day, while places like Pingshan and Guangming take one extra day. Recent system upgrades have improved efficiency - in May, I helped a friend apply, and it only took 5 days from application to receiving the plate. Remember to unpack and verify the plate number on the spot when delivered. Last year, someone received a plate with wrong letters and had to send it back for rework, wasting a week.

Why does the BMW air conditioning turn on automatically?

Automatic air conditioning activation is a comfort feature in BMW vehicles. It is designed to automatically activate the air circulation system or the air conditioning system to adjust the cabin temperature when the driver enters the vehicle after it has been parked for an extended period. BMW refers to this as the parking ventilation system or stationary ventilation system. Parking Ventilation System: The parking ventilation system is used to ventilate the interior space and, if necessary, reduce the cabin temperature. The system can be directly turned on and off via two preselected activation times. It can remain active for up to 30 minutes. Through iDrive, the "Parking Ventilation System" can be operated to open the ventilation outlets at preselected activation times or during direct operation, allowing air to flow out at any external temperature. Function of Car Air Conditioning: The air conditioning system can control the temperature inside the cabin, both heating and cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level of cabin temperature.

How to Calculate Aspect Ratio?

Aspect ratio refers to the percentage of a tire's section height relative to its maximum section width. Below is relevant information about aspect ratio: 1. Introduction: The tire section consists of the shoulder, sidewall, and bead. The sum of their heights constitutes the tire section height. After installation, since the bead is hidden within the rim, the measured height from the rim to the outer section (tread) is slightly less than the tire section height. 2. Characteristics: Tires with a high aspect ratio have longer sidewalls, providing stronger cushioning and relatively higher comfort, but they offer poorer road feedback and weaker lateral resistance during turns. Conversely, tires with a low aspect ratio and large inner diameter have shorter sidewalls and wider treads, resulting in a larger contact area and greater pressure-bearing capacity. They are highly responsive to road conditions, exhibit strong lateral resistance during turns, and enhance vehicle handling. After equipping a vehicle with wide, large-diameter, low-aspect-ratio tires, besides improved handling, the visual effect also gives a more aggressive appearance.

How Many Liters of Oil Are Needed for a Manual Transmission Oil Change?

Manual transmission oil change (gravity method) requires four to six liters; using an oil change machine requires approximately nine to twelve liters. The methods for changing transmission oil are as follows: Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil, then refill. Directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain and refill: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Using a circulation machine to change automatic transmission oil: Dynamic oil change with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. Transmission oil can reduce friction, minimize wear, control clutch friction, and optimize synchronizer performance. It also supports load-bearing (low-speed high torque, vibration loads), heat dissipation, reduces vibration and noise, and cleans contaminants from gear meshing areas (cleaning function). Additionally, it prevents corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tearing, while isolating metal surfaces to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact.

How to proceed when there are one red and one green light in the straight-ahead direction?

The green light below allows you to go straight. Here are specific details about traffic signals: 1. Green light on: Vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not impede the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When driving in a lane, try to avoid crossing solid lines, as this may be captured by cameras. Also, be mindful of traffic congestion during heavy vehicle flow, as lane changes or overtaking can easily be recorded. When driving in a lane, follow the designated route; do not turn from a straight lane or go straight from a turning lane, as this is highly likely to be captured by cameras. 2. Yellow light on: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. Red light on: Vehicle passage is prohibited. At intersections without separate non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic signals.

Can a Class C License Drive a 4.2-Meter Vehicle?

Can a Class C License Drive a 4.2-Meter Vehicle? A Class C license can drive a 4.2-meter vehicle as long as it is a blue-plate truck, but the driver needs to obtain the corresponding freight transport qualification certificate. The maximum vehicle length for a Class C1 driver's license is less than 6 meters, and the total mass is less than 4,500 kg. A 4.2-meter box truck can be driven with a Class C1 license, as box trucks are low-speed trucks. However, if it is a large truck, a Class C1 license is insufficient. Box trucks can be equipped with rear doors, side doors, fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, or cargo rail options, offering advantages such as flexibility, ease of operation, high efficiency, large transport capacity, space utilization, safety, and reliability. They are widely suitable for transporting various goods and are used by factories, supermarkets, and individuals alike. They can operate on intercity highways as well as within urban areas to complete transport tasks.
