I replaced my license plate on the 12123 platform, and the entire process took about 10 to 15 days. The review was approved the next day at the earliest, but the plate production took the longest, usually 3-5 working days. I chose to have it mailed to my home, and waiting for the delivery took another 5 days. I recommend taking multiple photos of the vehicle identification code when submitting, as last time my application was returned for re-review due to blurry photos, wasting two days. A temporary license plate will be generated simultaneously, valid for 15 days, and must be affixed to the lower left corner of the front windshield before driving, or you'll definitely be fined if stopped by traffic police. It takes longer during holidays, so it's best to apply in advance. The fee is over 100 yuan paid online, and there's an additional 12 yuan for COD delivery.

The time for license plate replacement varies, based on my experience, it could take anywhere from 7 to 20 days. The review process usually takes just one or two days, but the key factor is how busy the license plate factory is. It's not uncommon for the production cycle to exceed 5 days, especially during the peak period at the end of the month. For mailing, EMS is recommended as regular couriers may not be allowed to enter residential areas. Remember to print the temporary license plate on hard paper—I once used flimsy A4 paper and got a warning from the traffic police. With the recent rainy season, if you're worried about slow delivery, you can opt for self-pickup at the DMV to save about 3 days. After applying, the 12123 app will push daily updates on the progress, so checking the app occasionally is better than just waiting. If your temporary license plate expires, you can apply for a second one at the DMV as an emergency measure.

It took a full 14 days from application to receiving the replacement license plate last time, so annoying! The review was supposed to be completed in two days, but it dragged on until the fourth day. The production stage was the worst - the system showed 'pending production' for a whole week. The delivery was pretty fast though, arriving at the doorstep in three days. Important tips: When submitting, make sure the vehicle identification number photo isn't reflective - I had to retake it the first time due to glare. Temporary plates must be used with the same vehicle as on the registration certificate; driving another car counts as unlicensed driving. Remember to check the app status daily - it's frustrating if it suddenly changes to 'application withdrawn'. System maintenance is even more troublesome - last time an upgrade made me wait three extra days. Install the plates immediately upon receipt and tighten all four screws properly to avoid rework.

What to Do When the Exhaust Emission Control System Indicator Light Comes On?

When the ignition is turned on, this indicator light will illuminate, and it must go off after the engine is started. If the indicator light does not go off after starting the engine, or if it comes on or flashes while driving, it may indicate unstable operation in the emission control system or excessive exhaust emissions. Below is relevant information: 1. When the computer receives parameters from the oxygen sensor indicating that the exhaust emissions significantly exceed the national legal standards, and the internal program cannot adjust them back to the standard range, the engine control computer will activate the pollution emission warning light (yellow pollution light) on the dashboard to alert the owner to check the engine pollution emission light at a service station. 2. Difficulty starting the engine when cold in the morning or unstable engine operation after starting may be accompanied by stalling or the pollution light turning on. Sometimes, after restarting, the engine vibration and pollution light disappear, while other times, the engine runs smoothly after restarting but the pollution light remains on. 3. During a cold start, all components of the engine, such as the cylinder walls, are cold metal parts. As the engine runs, the fuel injected by the injectors into the cylinders atomizes. The atomized mixture condenses on the cold cylinder walls, which is not conducive to ignition and combustion. If the engine cylinder walls are very hot, the mixture entering the cylinders vaporizes upon contact with the hot walls instead of condensing. The high-temperature vaporized mixture aids combustion, contributing to the engine's smooth and normal operation.

Why is the design of left clutch, middle brake, and right accelerator arranged this way?

This arrangement is based on ergonomic design principles. Generally, people are accustomed to using their right hand and right foot, which tend to be more flexible and stronger. Since the accelerator needs to be pressed continuously and the brake requires quick and convenient access, both are placed on the right side. The brake and accelerator pedals are positioned in front of the right foot with a certain gap between them, and the brake pedal is slightly higher than the accelerator pedal. This design facilitates the driver's quick response. Below are the correct methods for operating the brake and accelerator: 1. Correct posture: The driver should position their right foot vertically on the brake pedal, then pivot on the heel to rotate rightward to reach the accelerator pedal. This ensures that the right foot primarily focuses on the brake, allowing for quick reactions in emergencies. 2. Automatic transmission: Automatic transmission vehicles have only two pedals—the brake and the accelerator. It is crucial not to operate both pedals simultaneously with both feet; only the right foot should be used. Otherwise, there is a high risk of pressing both pedals at the same time. Although most modern vehicles are equipped with a brake override system, this still poses certain risks. 3. Manual transmission: Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals—the clutch on the left, and the brake and accelerator on the right. To avoid confusion between the accelerator and brake, drivers should adopt the correct posture: focusing on the brake and tilting the foot to press the accelerator, ensuring the brake is pressed straight down.

What is the auto light?

The auto light in a car refers to the automatic headlights, which can automatically turn on or off based on the light sensing system. It enables automatic activation and deactivation, as well as automatic switching between high and low beams. Here are some related details: 1. When the headlight is set to this position, it will not illuminate during the day but will automatically turn on at night, such as when driving through tunnels, on cloudy days, or in any dimly lit areas. 2. The working principle of the auto light is as follows: sensors like photoresistors send electronic signals to the control unit, informing it whether to turn the headlights on or off, and the control unit then manages the headlight switch and the switching between high and low beams.

How to Maintain a Newly Purchased Car?

For the first maintenance of a new car, the primary tasks are changing the engine oil and oil filter, typically done at 3,000 kilometers or 5,000 kilometers. During the maintenance of a new car, a full vehicle inspection is also required: 1. Check the fluid levels of coolant, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, etc., to ensure they are within the normal range and check for any leaks. 2. Inspect the chassis. Examine components such as the steering tie rod and stabilizer bar for any looseness and whether screws need tightening. 3. Ensure the tire pressure of all four wheels is within the normal range, and also check all the vehicle's lights.

Is It Advisable to Purchase Stock Vehicles?

Stock vehicles can be purchased. Below is relevant information about stock vehicles: 1. Definition of stock vehicles: Parallel imported vehicles take up to 3 months to arrive at domestic ports from overseas factories, depending on their origin (e.g., the United States, Canada, Europe, or the Middle East). However, delays in customs clearance at ports can prolong this period. Therefore, imported models that have been manufactured for more than 6 months are considered stock vehicles. 2. Tips for identifying stock vehicles: The manufacturing date marked on the nameplate in the engine compartment indicates the actual stock duration of the vehicle.

How to Check Vehicle Emission Standard?

Methods to check the vehicle's national emission standard are as follows: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which usually has a clear mark on the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center for inquiry. 3. Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate, either the original or a copy, to the vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, check the vehicle's factory certificate of conformity, which is usually kept at the vehicle management office. Therefore, it is recommended to make a copy for backup when purchasing a car. 5. Make a rough distinction based on the vehicle's registration year. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China IV, those registered in 2007 could be China III or IV, vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly China III or II, and those registered before 2005 are mostly China II.
