Temporary license plate application methods: 1. Apply at the Vehicle Management Office: Required documents: Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate (import certificate for imported vehicles), original and photocopy of the third copy of compulsory traffic insurance, original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof. 2. Apply at any traffic branch or team vehicle management station: The method is the same as applying at the Vehicle Management Office, and all relevant documents must be brought. 3. Entrust the 4S store staff to complete the process: Required documents: Original and photocopy of the agent's ID card. 4S stores usually charge a fee ranging from 10 to 20 yuan.

I just got a temporary license plate for my new car a few days ago, which was processed at the vehicle management office. After purchasing the car, the 4S store will provide you with the invoice and certificate of conformity. Bring your ID card and compulsory traffic insurance policy, go directly to the vehicle management office hall to take a number and queue up. Fill out an application form and pay a ten-yuan processing fee, and you can get the temporary license plate on the spot. Remember to check the office hours in advance, as some vehicle management offices also operate on Saturday mornings. By the way, the temporary license plate must be affixed to the front and rear windshields to be compliant, with a validity period of about half a month, so be careful not to exceed the time limit when driving. Before getting the official license plate, never risk driving on the road, as you’ll be in trouble if caught.

How to Determine Car Tire Pressure?

Methods for determining car tire pressure: 1. Unscrew the tire valve cap, press the tire pressure gauge firmly onto the valve stem (must press all the way down), observe the pointer to read the measured pressure value, and compare it with the standard tire pressure; 2. Use a dedicated pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. If the pressure does not meet the standard, it indicates a fault. If the pressure is below the specified value, inflate the tire to the standard value; 3. If no pressure gauge is available, observe the tire wear condition to determine the tire pressure level. When pressure is low, both sides of the tread make greater contact pressure with the ground, causing severe wear on both sides. When pressure is high, the central part of the tread makes greater contact pressure, resulting in severe wear in the middle.

What does front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive mean in cars?

Front-wheel drive in cars refers to a power distribution design where the engine drives only the front pair of wheels; rear-wheel drive means the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a driveshaft, propelling the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive is a more traditional form of drive, with early cars mostly being rear-wheel driven. In rear-wheel drive, the rear wheels act as the driving wheels responsible for propelling the entire vehicle, while the front wheels serve as the steering wheels for direction. Figuratively speaking, when moving forward, the rear wheels push the front wheels, driving the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive cars exhibit better acceleration performance and higher comfort levels. During vehicle start-up, acceleration, or climbing, the center of gravity shifts backward, increasing the grip of the rear wheels as driving wheels, which is beneficial for starting, accelerating, or climbing, providing better driving stability and comfort.

Will ETC Capture Photos for Solid Line Lane Changes?

ETC solid line lane changes will not be captured, as the current function of the gantry is only to record driving trajectories and paths. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and On-Board Unit (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU; the red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display 'Tag Invalid, Please Insert Card,' indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is properly inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes green and low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution. Cost and wear reduction: Saves money, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reduces wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What does front-engine, front-wheel drive mean in cars?

Front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF) refers to a vehicle configuration where the engine is positioned at the front and powers the front wheels. This is the most prevalent drivetrain layout in the majority of sedans, primarily applied to passenger vehicles with engine displacements below 2.5L. Representative models include: Volkswagen Magotan, Toyota Camry, Audi A3, and Mercedes-Benz B-Class. In FF sedans, the engine is typically mounted transversely and connected to a compact transaxle. Advantages of front-wheel drive: 1. Eliminates the need for a driveshaft, reducing vehicle weight and creating a more compact structure; 2. Efficiently utilizes engine compartment space, resulting in a more spacious cabin; 3. With the engine positioned close to the driven wheels, power delivery is more efficient, leading to better fuel economy.

What does China 5 refer to in automobiles?

China 5 refers to the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for motor vehicle pollutants, which is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. Compared to the China 4 standard, the China 5 standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. After the implementation of the China 5 emission standard, vehicle pollutant emissions will be significantly reduced, and vehicles meeting the China 2 emission standard will be mandatorily scrapped. For environmental protection, China has now promulgated the China 6 emission standard, which is divided into two phases: China 6a and China 6b. Compared to the China 5 standard, the China 6 standard imposes stricter controls on vehicle exhaust emissions.
