For passenger-carrying commercial vehicles, annual inspections are required once every year for the first 5 years, and then every 6 months starting from the 6th year. Annual inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area where various tests are conducted sequentially, including exhaust emissions, speed, lighting, side slip, and chassis to ensure compliance with standards. Only when all items pass can the vehicle proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is examined, checking details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint condition, engine operation status, and the interior of the passenger compartment and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and undergo a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa formalities. Annual inspection considerations: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lighting. If the lighting is found to be too dim or too bright, it will be deemed unqualified and fail the inspection. If the lighting is too dim, check the lighting circuit and bulbs for aging, replacing relevant parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to revert to the original headlights before the inspection to pass the test.

What do gasoline grades 95, 92, and 98 mean?

Gasoline grades 92, 95, and 98 represent different levels of isooctane content in the fuel, while the fuel quality and the heat value per unit volume remain the same. Octane Rating: The numbers indicate the octane rating of the gasoline. The higher the number, the higher the octane rating, which means the gasoline has better anti-knock properties. For example, 92-grade gasoline contains 92% octane, 95-grade contains 95%, and 98-grade contains 98%. Anti-Knock Properties: When the air-fuel mixture is injected into the cylinder, the piston compresses the mixture, increasing pressure and temperature. If the gasoline's anti-knock properties are too low, the mixture may ignite before the spark plug fires, leading to uncontrolled combustion, commonly known as knocking. Higher octane ratings provide better anti-knock properties, reducing potential engine damage.

Is it necessary to install rear window film?

It is necessary to install rear window film, as it can prevent glass fragments from scattering and causing injury in case of breakage. Here are the benefits of installing rear window film: 1. Heat insulation and sun protection: The film effectively blocks infrared rays, reducing heat buildup. 2. UV protection: The film blocks 99% of ultraviolet rays, preventing skin damage. 3. Safety and explosion-proof: The film's base layer is made of polyester, which is highly resistant to tearing and puncturing. Combined with the adhesive layer, the film can increase the glass strength by 100 times, preventing secondary injuries to passengers in case of accidental breakage. 4. Privacy enhancement: After installation, the interior of the car is not visible from a distance of one meter outside the vehicle, ensuring privacy and safety. 5. Reduced air conditioning consumption: Air conditioning energy consumption can be reduced by nearly 15%. The cooling capacity loss from the air conditioning can be compensated by the heat-insulating film, instantly lowering the interior temperature and saving fuel to a certain extent.

Can I Use 95 Octane Gasoline Instead of 92 Octane Normally?

Vehicles that use 92 octane gasoline can also use 95 octane gasoline, but generally, it is best to follow the manufacturer's recommended octane rating. When you can use 95 octane gasoline: Check the recommended gasoline octane rating labeled inside the fuel tank cap. If the recommended octane rating is 92 or higher, then you can use 95 octane gasoline. Related recommendations: If the recommended octane rating is 92, it is not advisable to use 95 octane gasoline. Long-term use of higher octane gasoline can not only damage the engine's spark plugs and other ignition systems but also affect the engine's lifespan. The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: The difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline lies in the ratio of heptane and isooctane. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% heptane.

What Are the Causes of Insufficient Power Generation in Automotive Generators?

"Excessively high or low no-load voltage can lead to insufficient power generation in automotive generators. Excessively high no-load voltage: Automatic voltage regulator failure. Excessive current in the no-load exciter field winding. Inspect the automatic voltage regulator; if the set voltage is too high, readjust it. Excessively low no-load voltage: Open circuit in the exciter field winding. Check if the exciter field winding resistance is infinite. Replace the broken winding or reconnect the circuit; severe short circuit in the main generator field winding. High current in the exciter field winding. The main generator field winding overheats significantly, vibration increases, and the DC resistance of the field winding is much lower than normal."

How Long Does It Take to Order a Car from a 4S Store?

It takes about one week to one month for the car to arrive at the store after ordering from a 4S store. 4S Store Has Inventory: Generally, some less popular or niche models are kept in stock by 4S stores. In such cases, you don’t have to wait too long—about a week—to complete the paperwork and have accessories installed before picking up the car. The inventory levels vary among different regions and 4S stores of different sizes. If a particular 4S store happens to have no inventory, they may coordinate with nearby stores to transfer a car, which may take a little more time. Waiting for Manufacturer Production: Some cars are in high demand, and manufacturers may struggle to keep up with production. In such cases, the waiting time for pickup can range from 3 to 6 months. If there is a delay beyond the promised timeframe, you can negotiate with the salesperson to cancel the order.

Should the car battery be replaced if it runs out of power?

Whether the car battery needs to be replaced when it runs out of power depends on whether the battery can still be used. Judgment method: You can remove the battery and charge it to see if it can still be used. If it still doesn't work after charging, it means the battery's service life has expired or it is damaged, and it needs to be replaced. The following are the methods to deal with a dead car battery: 1. If the battery is dead and the car won't start, you can use the jump-start method. 2. First, park the two cars facing each other (as close as possible); 3. Then turn off the rescue vehicle to avoid excessive current burning out the battery cables, and turn off all electrical switches of the rescued vehicle; 4. Open the engine compartments of both cars (some cars have the battery in the trunk, such as BMW), locate the positive and negative terminals of both batteries (red "+" is positive, black "-" is negative), and connect them accordingly.
