After 15 years, a vehicle should be inspected twice a year. The inspection items include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Checking whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced.

What Causes a Sudden Gasoline Smell in the Car?

There are several reasons for a sudden gasoline smell in the car: Incomplete Combustion of Gasoline: The smell is noticeable when the engine is first started, especially in enclosed and windless environments like garages. This occurs due to incomplete combustion. When the engine is cold, it is not at its normal operating temperature, leading to incomplete combustion. Additionally, when the engine is first started, the vehicle injects more fuel to quickly raise the coolant temperature, controlled by the ECU. The air-fuel mixture remains rich, resulting in more unburned gasoline being expelled. Since the cabin is not completely sealed, gasoline vapors can enter through gaps in the doors. Loose or Faulty Fuel Tank Cap: A sudden gasoline smell could be due to a loose or improperly sealed fuel tank cap, or aging and cracked carbon canister lines, causing gasoline vapors to leak. Gasoline Leakage: Leakage points may include the fuel pump's supply or return lines, or their connections. In most cars, the fuel pump is located under the rear seat, separated from the cabin by a poorly sealed cover. If the fuel pump leaks, gasoline vapors can directly enter the cabin, producing a strong odor. If there is no leakage here, check the fuel filter and the connections to the engine's fuel rail. All connection points should be inspected.

What is the ground clearance of a typical sedan?

Generally, the minimum ground clearance of a sedan ranges between 110mm and 150mm. Below are relevant details about minimum ground clearance: 1. Impact on driving: The ability of a car to overcome obstacles. The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. Sedans usually travel on flat urban roads, hence the small ground clearance; 2. Design considerations: It is necessary to consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, and to ensure that the sedan does not scrape when approaching the edge of a typical sidewalk. Additionally, the value of minimum ground clearance is subject to certain limitations, related to the vehicle's functionality and aerodynamics.

Where to Add Urea in a Vehicle?

Urea needs to be filled into a dedicated urea storage tank, which is located near the fuel tank. The reasons for adding urea to a vehicle are as follows: 1. Reduce pollution: The primary reason for adding urea is to reduce exhaust emissions, as diesel engines mainly emit nitrogen oxides and carbon particles. The nitrogen oxides from diesel engines are primarily in the form of nitric oxide. 2. Protect human health: High concentrations of nitric oxide can affect lung function and cause central nervous system disorders. Additionally, when released into the air, it gradually converts into nitrogen dioxide, which has a strong irritating odor and can cause respiratory diseases.

What is the Difference Between Automotive Metallic Paint and Regular Paint?

Automotive metallic paint and regular paint differ in the following aspects: 1. Composition: Metallic paint is a two-component, room-temperature curing coating, where Component A consists of resin base, high-quality pigments and fillers, additives, etc., and Component B is the curing agent; regular paint is mainly composed of resin, pigments, additives, fillers, curing agents, solvents, etc. 2. Performance: Metallic paint is more wear-resistant than regular paint and less prone to scratches; when parked roadside or subjected to external forces, it is less likely to show marks. 3. Hardness: Metallic paint contains metal particles, increasing the paint's hardness and making the surface harder and more resistant to scratches. Regular paint has lower hardness and is more susceptible to scratches.

What does the dashboard bulb icon mean?

The dashboard bulb indicator is a warning light for bulb failure. Here are detailed introductions to automotive lighting systems: 1. Signal lights: Including turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. 2. Turn signals: Activated when turning, they flash intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Brake lights: These bright lights inform following vehicles that the car ahead is slowing down or stopping. Improper use can easily cause rear-end collisions. 4. Night driving lights and position lights: Driving lights (commonly called headlights) should switch to low beam during oncoming traffic and return to high beam afterward to improve visibility. Use high-low beam switching to signal when passing intersections or overtaking. Position lights (commonly called parking lights) display the vehicle's width and length at night.
