If you miss the deadline by even one day, your vehicle will be considered overdue for the annual safety inspection. According to regulations, if a vehicle fails to undergo the mandatory safety technical inspection within the specified period, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. Only after paying the fine can you proceed with the annual inspection. Specific regulations: Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following intervals from the date of registration: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Specific timing for annual vehicle inspection: Motor vehicles can undergo the annual inspection within the 3 months leading up to the deadline. The exact deadline for the annual inspection can be found on the supplementary page of the vehicle’s registration certificate, which states the validity period of the inspection, e.g., "Valid until July 2018." In this case, the inspection can be conducted anytime in May, June, or July—meaning the earliest you can go is May 1st, and the latest is July 31st.

What does the exclamation mark on a car mean?

There are five situations when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, namely general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. The following is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Main issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system faults: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a fault in the brake system or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below it. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. The tire pressure should be checked and restored to the normal range. Lighting faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a malfunction in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the problem.

Can Tubeless Tires Be Inflated with a Pump?

Tubeless tires can be inflated with a pump. Tubeless tires, also known as "low-pressure tires" or "pneumatic tires," are inflatable tires without inner tubes. They feature high elasticity and wear resistance, along with excellent adhesion and heat dissipation performance, especially all-steel radial tubeless tires, which are economical and durable. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires bear the full weight of the vehicle, handle the load, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Enhance vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. They also work with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Prevent early damage to vehicle components: Car tires protect vehicle components from severe vibrations and early damage, adapt to high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Depending on the power source, car engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. Below is an introduction to car engines: 1. Classification of engines: Depending on the power source, car engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. 2. Principle of engines: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion and output power externally. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have low manufacturing costs; diesel engines have high compression ratios, high thermal efficiency, and better economic and emission performance than gasoline engines.

What are the four most accurate reference points for short individuals when reversing into a parking space?

When reversing into a parking space, the four most accurate reference points are the lower edge of the rearview mirror, the corner of the parking space, the bottom corner of the garage, and the stopping point. Below is more information about reversing into a parking space: 1. Introduction: Reversing into a parking space has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reversing into a parking space is one of the evaluation points in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. 2. Evaluation criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification. If the vehicle body crosses the line or fails to enter the parking space properly, it also leads to disqualification. Exceeding the 210-second time limit for completing the reversing maneuver results in disqualification. Stopping midway deducts 5 points each time.
