Small cars require inspection every 6 years, with testing every 2 years within the first 6 years. By the 6th year, an on-site inspection is required. The annual inspection items include: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations. Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted according to the technical conditions for safe operation of motor vehicles. Its purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, ensure the vehicle is always in good condition, and guarantee driving safety.

Does Transmission Fluid Require Filter Replacement?

Transmission fluid does require filter replacement. There is a filter inside the transmission oil pan, and it should be replaced every time the transmission fluid is changed. Automatic transmission fluid needs to be replaced every two years or after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid should be replaced every three years or after 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the shifting system clean, ensuring the proper functioning of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. It provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Maintenance methods for automatic transmissions include: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Avoiding skipping gears when shifting up; 5. Avoiding forcing the transmission into neutral; 6. Minimizing idle warm-up time; 7. Preventing gear grinding when shifting; 8. Cleaning the transmission.

Where is the Geely memory card located?

The Geely memory card is located under a dust cover in the navigation system. The memory card is inside this dust cover. The differences between car memory cards and phone memory cards are as follows: Different entities: Car memory cards are a new generation of memory devices based on semiconductor flash memory; phone memory cards are extremely small flash memory cards, whose format was originally created by SanDisk. Initially called T-Flash, it was later renamed Trans-Flash, and then rebranded as Micro-SD after being adopted by the SD Association (SDA). Different characteristics: Car memory cards feature small size, fast data transfer speeds, and hot-swappable capabilities; phone memory cards (Micro-SD) are even smaller and can be converted for use with Mini-SD and standard SD cards. Almost all mainstream manufacturers support Micro-SD, while the slightly larger MiniSD is rarely used anymore.
