For passenger cars within 5 years, an annual inspection is required once every year; for those over 5 years, an inspection is required once every 6 months. Below is an introduction to the knowledge about passenger car annual inspections: 1. Inspection scope: The exemption range for private cars has been expanded to include non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) with 7-9 seats within 6 years. After exceeding 6 years, the inspection cycle for 7-seater cars is as follows: for those over 6 years but less than 10 years, only 2 on-site inspections are required, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For cars over 10 years, an annual inspection is required once every year, and for those over 15 years, an inspection is required once every 6 months. 2. Required documents: The documents needed for the annual inspection include the owner's ID card; the original vehicle registration certificate; the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy; and the current year's vehicle and vessel tax payment (or exemption) certificate (the vehicle and vessel tax certificate is generally included in the compulsory traffic insurance policy).

Why can't the car suction cup stick to the center console?

The reason it can't stick: The surface of the center console is increasingly curved and arched, making flat suction cups ineffective. Here is some information about the center console: 1. Introduction: The center console is the dashboard located in the front part of the cabin, between the driver and the front passenger. It serves as the mounting platform for the instrument panel, air conditioning and audio panels, storage compartments, airbags, and other devices. 2. Importance: The function buttons for comfort and entertainment features such as air conditioning and audio are all arranged on the center console. Drivers constantly interact with the center console, and its design and layout affect the car's comfort as well as the driver's experience.

Which point is referred to when the rear wheel touches the line during parallel parking?

It is the point where the line intersects with the central axis of the left rear wheel. Below is a partial introduction about parallel parking: 1. Operation requirements: The driver must maneuver the vehicle into the right parking space (or garage) by moving forward and backward once without touching or scraping the parking space poles, and without the wheels pressing or touching the lane boundary lines or parking space boundary lines. 2. Introduction: Parallel parking is one of the items in the driving test (Subject 2). Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal parking lots become more scarce. Many places have converted the original street sides into parking spaces, known as 'parallel parking spaces.'

Is It Good for the Car to Idle with the Air Conditioning On?

Idling with the air conditioning on has a slight impact on the car's engine and can lead to carbon buildup. Other effects and the working principle of the air conditioning system are as follows: Effects: It can cause carbon buildup at the exhaust pipe outlet and increase fuel consumption. Working Principle: The car's air conditioning system uses residual heat from the coolant for heating and relies on the phase change of refrigerant for cooling. The car's air conditioning refrigeration system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower. These components are connected by copper pipes and high-pressure rubber hoses to form a sealed system. When the refrigeration system operates, the refrigerant circulates through this sealed system in different states.

Does coolant entering the engine require an overhaul?

Coolant entering the engine necessitates an overhaul. Below is a detailed analysis of the engine: Hazards of coolant to engine oil: When coolant mixes with engine oil, it disrupts the oil's structure, leading to deterioration. During vehicle operation, this can result in inadequate engine lubrication, thereby accelerating wear between the engine and other components. Engine maintenance: Regularly change the engine oil. Prolonged intervals between oil changes can cause severe wear on engine parts, shortening the engine's lifespan. Periodically check the power steering fluid for leaks or noticeable abnormal noises. Regularly inspect the brake fluid level and replenish or replace it promptly if it falls below the standard value.

Is it normal for the outside temperature display to show over 50 degrees?

It might be due to a faulty outdoor temperature sensor, and it is recommended to have it checked by a professional technician. Here is some relevant information about temperature sensors: 1. Function: They utilize the principle that various physical properties of substances change with temperature to convert temperature into electrical signals. 2. Classification: Based on measurement methods, they can be divided into contact and non-contact types. According to the materials and electronic component characteristics, they are categorized into thermistors and thermocouples. Contact temperature sensors have their sensing parts in good contact with the object being measured, also known as thermometers. Thermometers achieve thermal equilibrium through conduction or convection, allowing the displayed value to directly represent the temperature of the object being measured.

What are the standards for vehicle modification certification?

Vehicle modification certification standards are as follows: 1. Headlight modification: For unauthorized installation of xenon headlights, according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, such unauthorized modification violates vehicle safety principles and will result in a fine and 3 demerit points. 2. Appearance modification: According to the newly revised Regulations on Motor Vehicle Registration, changes to body color, engine replacement, or body/frame replacement require the owner to apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office, otherwise penalties will be imposed. Although the regulations don't specifically address tires, industry insiders reveal that vehicles with modified wheel rims or size changes will definitely fail annual inspections.
