Family cars require an annual inspection every 6 years, while vehicles older than 6 years must undergo inspection once every year. For cars older than 15 years, inspections are required twice a year. Generally, the annual inspection is conducted at monitoring stations designated by the vehicle management authorities. You can have your car inspected within the three months prior to the due date, which corresponds to the vehicle's registration date. When going for the inspection, you need to bring your ID card, vehicle license, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. Additionally, the car must be equipped with a fire extinguisher and an emergency parking sign. The vehicle inspection consists of two parts: the first part involves a technical condition check of the vehicle, including its appearance, lights, exhaust emissions, brakes, etc.; the second part is applying for the annual inspection sticker, which serves as proof that the vehicle has passed the inspection. This sticker is the one placed on the front windshield.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Lexus RX300 in liters?

Lexus RX300 has a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for Lexus RX300 is 95, with a fuel consumption of 7-9.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 963-1036 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will accurately reflect on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity.

Is Lexus a Joint Venture or Imported Car?

Lexus is an imported car, with all Lexus vehicles being originally imported from Japan, as there are no production lines in China. Most Lexus models are manufactured in Japan. Currently, Toyota has over 50 factories worldwide, but only five of them produce Lexus models. Below is relevant information: Joint Venture Cars: As the name suggests, these are projects jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. The Chinese side contributes by providing land and factory usage rights, as well as capital, while foreign investors provide the brand, technology, capital, and talent. Joint venture cars are the products of such collaborations. Foreign parties provide technology, talent, and brands for domestic assembly, but the core technology is still controlled by the foreign side. Parallel Imported Cars: Parallel imported cars (parallel-import-cars), fully known as parallel trade imported cars, abbreviated as parallel trade cars, refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturer. Depending on the import source, they can be categorized as "U.S. specification cars," "Middle East version cars," "Canadian version cars," "European version cars," etc., to distinguish them from "China specification cars" sold through authorized channels.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Wuling Zhiguang 6376 in liters?

2014 old Wuling Zhiguang 6376 has only 1 model, with a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, and all models use a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). Among vehicles in the same class, the Dongfeng Xiaokang K07S 2022 model has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and the Dongfeng Xiaokang K05S 2019 model has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount will be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel is sufficient.

What are the consequences of using 92 octane gasoline in an old Toyota Reiz?

The old Toyota Reiz requires 95 octane gasoline. Vehicles that use 95 octane gasoline should not use 92 octane gasoline, as it can lead to insufficient anti-knock performance, increased engine failure rates, higher fuel consumption, more carbon deposits, and clogged fuel injectors. Reason Analysis: Generally, the fuel grade recommended on the vehicle's fuel tank cap should be followed, or a higher grade can be used. However, using a lower grade is not advisable. Vehicles that use 92 octane gasoline can use 95 octane gasoline, but vehicles that require 95 octane gasoline should not use 92 octane gasoline. The main difference between different gasoline grades lies in their anti-knock performance, which is a crucial indicator of fuel quality. 92 octane gasoline has a 92 octane rating and is suitable for mid-range vehicles (with lower compression ratios). 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane and should be used in engines with higher compression ratios. 98 octane gasoline has an octane rating equivalent to a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. Its advantages include "two highs and two lows": higher anti-knock performance and power output, along with lower harmful substances and exhaust emissions. Fueling Precautions: Do not arbitrarily switch gasoline grades. Switching to a lower grade may cause premature combustion, leading to engine knocking. Incomplete combustion can also increase carbon deposits, clogging ducts and injectors, and result in reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption.

What Does the Driving Test Subject 1 Mainly Cover?

The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that the content of Subject 1 examination includes: laws, regulations, and rules on road traffic safety; traffic signals and their meanings; knowledge of safe driving and civilized driving; safe driving knowledge under conditions such as highways, mountainous roads, bridges, tunnels, nighttime, adverse weather, and complex road conditions; emergency handling knowledge in situations like tire blowouts, steering failure, and brake failure; general structure of motor vehicles, common knowledge of major safety devices, and basic knowledge of daily inspection and maintenance; basic knowledge of self-rescue and first aid after traffic accidents, as well as common hazardous materials. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the examination. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes theoretical foundations of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should pay attention to their attire, avoid wearing slippers, and are not allowed to bring electronic devices or bags into the examination hall. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the lockers before entering the examination hall. Upon entering, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to examination discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score sheet and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the examination process ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts each, and rescheduling for these subjects must be done at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
