A six-year-old car requires an annual inspection. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. History of motor vehicle inspections: In the past, motor vehicles needed annual inspections to ensure safe operation without potential hazards. However, recent regulatory changes have adjusted these policies, including modifications to inspection requirements. 2. Specific details: A trial exemption policy applies to non-commercial passenger cars and small/mini vehicles (excluding vans, 7-seat or larger vehicles, and those involved in fatal accidents) within their first 6 years. These vehicles require biennial documentation submission to obtain inspection certificates. The new policy only exempts sub-6-year vehicles - inspection frequency remains unchanged for older vehicles: annually for 7-15 year-old vehicles, and semi-annually beyond 15 years.

Is the Corolla's Electronic Parking Brake Automatic?

The Corolla's electronic parking brake is not automatic. Here’s how to use the electronic parking brake in the new Corolla: 1. After starting, the vehicle's computer sets the engine to idle, and the brake motor engages the brake pads to apply the brake. 2. Before the car starts, the electronic parking brake cannot be released; check if the battery is dead or if the vehicle's computer has frozen. 3. If the battery is dead, replace the motor; if the computer has frozen, restart the system. Relevant information about the electronic parking brake is as follows: 1. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. The electronic parking brake is also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. The EPB system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term parking braking function and achieves parking braking through electronic control.
