Exhaust emission testing is a mandatory item during the annual inspection of vehicles. To pass the exhaust emission test during the annual inspection, regular maintenance of the three-way catalytic converter is essential. Use cleaning solvents, drip cleaning, or non-disassembly cleaning methods for the three-way catalytic converter. Some 4S shops offer this service. Before the test, try to use up the fuel in the tank and then refill with higher-grade fuel from a reputable gas station, as this can help with the emission test. If the vehicle has been used for a long time and shows signs of corrosion in the exhaust pipe, it is advisable to have it inspected and repaired promptly. If necessary, replace the exhaust pipe to improve the chances of passing the emission test. Severely corroded exhaust pipes usually make it difficult to pass the test. Nowadays, when purchasing vehicle insurance, insurance companies often provide inspection cards that assist with the annual inspection and exhaust emission testing, saving a lot of hassle. Dedicated channels can also help ensure a smooth emission test. Be sure to check with the insurance company if they assist with the emission test. Many vehicle owners lack confidence in their vehicle's condition and may attempt to pay someone to 'help' pass the emission test.

How many points are deducted for driving in the wrong direction on a one-way road?

If you drive in the wrong direction on a regular urban one-way road, the penalty is usually 3 points deducted from your license. For highways and urban expressways, driving in the wrong direction results in 12 points deducted and may also lead to the suspension of your driver's license for up to three months. Relevant regulations on wrong-way driving: According to Article 77 of the 'Regulations on Road Traffic Safety of the People's Republic of China,' if a motor vehicle driver is caught driving in the wrong direction, they will be penalized with 3 points deducted and may face a fine or a warning. According to Article 6 of the 'Measures for the Scoring of Traffic Violations by Motor Vehicle Drivers,' if a driver is caught reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway, they will be penalized with 12 points deducted, a fine or warning, and may also face suspension of their driver's license for up to three months. Analysis of wrong-way driving violations: Cameras on one-way roads typically capture instances of wrong-way driving, and any such capture is considered a violation.

What does 'mod' mean in a car?

In a car, 'mod' refers to: the button indicators of the car audio system. The adjustment methods for the car audio are: 1. Adjust the filter in the car audio to the high-pass position; 2. Set the cutoff frequency on the main unit to around 60 to 100Hz; 3. If the sound from the audio has impurities or is unclear, adjust the cutoff frequency of the audio back and forth. The button indicators of the car audio system: 1. PWR is the power button, press this button for more than 1 second to turn off; 2. MUT is for muting the playback; 3. AMS is the radio mode, press this button for more than 2 seconds, and the received station will be automatically saved in preset stations 1 to 6. Press this button briefly to stay on each of the preset stations 1 to 6 for 5 seconds each. In MP3 mode, pressing this button allows you to select the MP3 menu.

Can the simulated lighting test afford any mistakes?

Simulated lighting tests cannot afford any mistakes, and the correct operation must be performed within 5 seconds after the voice prompt. Exceeding the time limit or making an incorrect operation will result in failure, requiring a retake. Below are the relevant details: Simulated lighting test procedure: After completing all pre-test preparations, report to the examiner that you are ready to begin the test. The examiner will activate the computer system, and the voice prompt will announce: 'Please start the engine. The simulated nighttime driving lighting test will now begin. Perform the corresponding lighting operation within 5 seconds.' Note: The corresponding lighting operation must be performed within 5 seconds. Exceeding the time limit or making an error will result in an immediate deduction of 100 points, leading to failure in the simulated lighting test. Reasons for failure: Failing to check whether the lights are reset before starting the test, causing slight discrepancies between the computer's voice prompts and the usual training sequence. Nervousness during the test. Due to over-familiarity, completing the operation before the computer finishes the voice prompt, commonly referred to as 'jumping the prompt.' When switching from high beam to low beam, excessive force on the light control lever causes the high beam flash to activate.

What is an ehybrid car?

ehybrid is a hybrid car. A hybrid electric vehicle is equipped with more than one power source: storage battery, fuel cell, solar battery, or generator set of an internal combustion engine. Currently, hybrid vehicles generally refer to those with an internal combustion engine generator plus a storage battery. Related introductions are as follows: Introduction to the working principle of hybrid cars: When the battery power is lower than sixty percent, the auxiliary power system starts. When the vehicle's energy demand is high, the auxiliary power system and the battery pack simultaneously provide energy to the drive system. When the vehicle's energy demand is low, the auxiliary power system provides energy to the drive system while also charging the battery pack. Introduction to the advantages of hybrid cars: After adopting hybrid power, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined according to the average required power, operating under optimal conditions with low fuel consumption and less pollution. When more power is needed and the internal combustion engine is insufficient, the battery supplements it; when the load is light, the surplus power can generate electricity to charge the battery. Since the internal combustion engine can work continuously and the battery can be charged constantly, its range is the same as that of a conventional car. With the battery, it is very convenient to recover energy during braking, downhill, or idling.

Is Clutch Pedal Vibration a Normal Phenomenon?

Clutch pedal vibration is not a normal phenomenon. Common causes include severe carbon buildup and unstable fuel concentration. Specific reasons and countermeasures are as follows: Severe Carbon Buildup: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine cylinders can lead to spark plug and valve blockages, directly causing the car to shake during idle. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly declined and the shaking is persistent, it is necessary to clean the engine cylinders. Fuel additives can be used to remove carbon deposits by adding them to the fuel tank. During engine operation, the fuel additive travels with the fuel through the fuel line into the intake manifold (except for direct injection engines), intake valves, fuel injectors, and combustion chamber. Through contact with these components, it dissolves and cleans carbon deposits, sludge, and other contaminants from their surfaces. Unstable Concentration: Fuel system issues causing unstable fuel pressure can lead to inconsistent air-fuel mixture concentration, resulting not only in shaking but also unstable idle. In this case, the fuel filter should be replaced, as prolonged use can cause the filter element to become clogged.
