For privately-owned vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, meaning they must be inspected once every year for vehicles aged 10-15 years. Additional information: Inspection schedule: For small and micro passenger vehicles, the inspection cycle is as follows - new cars do not require inspection within the first six years, but must apply for inspection decals every two years. After six years of use, vehicles must undergo annual inspections. When a vehicle reaches 15 years of service, it must be inspected twice a year. Therefore, a 10-year-old small passenger vehicle requires one annual inspection. Important notes for vehicle inspections: The inspection date is indicated on the vehicle's registration certificate. Owners can conduct the inspection up to three months in advance of the due date, but no delays are permitted - even one day overdue counts as a violation. Traffic police can impose fines and deduct 3 points if they stop an overdue vehicle. Before inspection, all traffic violation records must be cleared; otherwise, the vehicle cannot undergo the inspection.

Does idling with the heater on damage the car?

Idling with the heater on will not damage the car if the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. However, if the engine has just started and hasn't yet reached its normal operating temperature, idling with the heater on will slow down the engine's warming process, leading to increased fuel consumption, but it won't cause any damage to the car. The heating principle of a car's air conditioning system is quite simple. When heating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core, and the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing warm air to be emitted from the air vents. The cooling principle of the car's air conditioning system is also relatively straightforward. When cooling, the clutch of the air conditioning compressor engages, and the engine drives the compressor to operate. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator during operation.

What are the differences between National 4 and National 5?

The differences between National 4 and National 5 are as follows: 1. Different meanings: The National 4 emission standard is the fourth stage of China's motor vehicle pollutant emission standards, while the National 5 emission standard is the fifth stage, known as the 'National 5 standard'. Compared to National 4, National 5 is more stringent, resulting in fewer pollutants emitted, making it more environmentally friendly. 2. Different standards: Compared to National 4, the new National 5 standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and by 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. 3. Different symbols: The symbol for National 4 is IV, while the symbol for National 5 is V.

How to Determine Wheel Position?

Methods to determine wheel position: 1. To judge the left wheel position, observe the node of the left wiper in front of the driver's seat. When the node of the wiper coincides with the center line of the road, it means the wheel is already crossing the line and needs immediate adjustment; 2. To judge the right wheel position, observe the center point of the car's front. When the right lane dividing line coincides with the center point of the car's front, it indicates that the tire is crossing the line, and the steering wheel needs to be adjusted promptly; 3. When parking the vehicle alongside the road, replace the lane line with the roadside line. Avoid parking too close to the curb to prevent scratching the wheel hub and causing unnecessary damage. It's safer to observe the rear lane line through the rearview mirror or by leaning out to check.

Do I need a four-wheel alignment when changing tires on a sedan?

Changing tires on a sedan does not require a four-wheel alignment. After replacing tires, wheel dynamic balancing is necessary, which is unrelated to four-wheel alignment. If the vehicle does not exhibit any deviation while driving and the steering wheel remains straight, alignment is not required. However, wheel dynamic balancing is essential; otherwise, vibration may occur during driving. Four-wheel alignment is based on the vehicle's four-wheel parameters, adjusted to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. When experiencing issues such as heavy steering, shaking, deviation, misalignment, failure to return to center, or abnormal tire wear (including uneven wear, scalloped wear, block wear, or biased wear), or when the driver feels floating, bumping, or swaying sensations, it is advisable to check the wheel alignment values to determine if significant deviation exists and proceed with timely repairs.

What to Do If the Car Door Keeps Auto-Locking?

The solutions for auto-locking car doors are as follows: 1. Damaged central control system: It is necessary to replace the sensors on the car door and check whether there is an issue with the central control system, then proceed with repair or replacement. A car door that keeps auto-locking poses significant safety risks. After the vehicle is locked, there is a possibility it may automatically unlock again, leading to potential loss of items in the vehicle. 2. Controller malfunction: Vehicle anti-theft locks can be categorized into three types based on technical principles: mechanical anti-theft locks, electronic anti-theft alarms, and networked anti-theft locks. If a vehicle frequently experiences auto-locking doors, the central lock controller should be inspected, as the issue may stem from a faulty controller. It is advisable to visit a local service center or repair shop for a thorough check.
