For new cars classified as private vehicles, inspections are required every two years, and these inspections do not require on-site testing. According to the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Motor Vehicle Inspection Work," all newly manufactured passenger cars and other small and micro passenger vehicles are exempt from safety technical inspections before initial registration. Chinese laws and regulations stipulate the following inspection frequencies: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: biennial inspection for the first 6 years; annual inspection after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Motorcycles: biennial inspection for the first 4 years; annual inspection after exceeding 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: annual inspection. Commercial vehicles that pass safety inspections within the prescribed period are exempt from repeated safety technical inspections.

What does TCU mean in cars?

The TCU in cars is the Transmission Control Unit, commonly used in automatic transmissions such as AMT, AT, DCT, and CVT, to achieve automatic gear shifting control, making driving simpler. Its main functions include: 1. Target gear decision: Based on driving environment and driver-recognized strategies, it improves vehicle economy and comfort; 2. Actuator control; 3. Fault diagnosis and fault handling. The TCU can detect certain data, such as engine speed and vehicle speed, and use this data to control the transmission for gear shifting. The shifting logic is calibrated by the car manufacturer's engineers through test driving experiments, data collection, user operating conditions, and targeted consumer groups. Good shifting logic can understand the driver's intentions.

What does SOC in cars represent?

Automotive SOC refers to the State of Charge. Many hybrid vehicles have this indicator light, while pure gasoline vehicles do not. Common hybrid vehicles include conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Plug-in hybrid vehicles can use external power sources to charge their traction batteries, which distinguishes them from conventional hybrid vehicles. The advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles include better fuel economy compared to pure gasoline vehicles and longer driving range than pure electric vehicles, qualifying them for green license plates. Conventional hybrid vehicles have similar fuel economy to plug-in hybrids, but their electric-only driving range is shorter than that of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Under what circumstances are clearance lights generally turned on?

Clearance lights are generally turned on under the following circumstances: 1. When driving in foggy weather, as visibility decreases and vision becomes blurred, clearance lights should be turned on along with fog lights to provide a good warning effect for other traffic participants on the road; 2. During rainy weather, they serve as a warning for both preceding and following vehicles to minimize potential harm; 3. Nighttime driving requires the use of clearance lights as per traffic regulations, which mandate the activation of rear tail lights and clearance lights to alert following vehicles; 4. When driving at dusk, visibility is challenging due to the absence of streetlights and insufficient brightness of vehicle lights, hence turning on clearance lights enhances visibility for other vehicles and ensures safety.
