Do cars still need to display annual inspection stickers?

Currently, cars still need to display annual inspection stickers. The inspection compliance sticker must be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Additionally, vehicles must undergo inspections as required by regulations. Annual vehicle inspections help promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage proper maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Vehicle inspections are mandatory for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates, meaning an annual 'health check' based on the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation. Annual inspections are divided into initial inspections and regular inspections. Initial inspection items include verifying the presence of the vehicle user manual, certificate of conformity, and completeness of factory markings on the vehicle body. Regular inspection items include checking the cleanliness, completeness, and functionality of the engine, chassis, body, and related equipment, ensuring uniform and aesthetically pleasing paintwork, and verifying whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records.

What does ECT on a car mean?

ECT on a car refers to the quick acceleration mode, similar to a sports racing mode, which can rapidly increase the engine's RPM but will significantly increase fuel consumption. It is mostly used during highway driving. After activation, the throttle feels more responsive and direct, and the gear shift timing is generally above 4500 RPM. The ECT button is mostly found on Japanese cars, with Toyota vehicles being the most common. This system is called the Electronic Throttle Control System. The system has three modes: Normal, Sport, and Snow. Normal mode is also known as Economy mode, where the car's fuel efficiency is higher, and fuel consumption is reduced.

What does eco mean on a car?

Eco on a car refers to the economic driving mode. Eco is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. The eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and non-active eco driving mode. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode has been activated. Activating eco mode will cause the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to restrict the throttle and fuel injector, effectively reducing the engine's output power, and the transmission response will also slow down, thereby achieving the effect of fuel conservation.

Tone in a car refers to the sound settings, which are used to adjust the sound quality, such as bass, midrange, treble, rock music, jazz, symphony, etc. Car audio systems are installed to alleviate the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. Early systems used car AM radios, later evolving to AM/FM radios, cassette players, and then to CD players compatible with DCC and DAT digital audio. Nowadays, car audio systems have reached high standards in terms of sound quality, operation, and vibration resistance, capable of handling the bumps on rough roads while ensuring stable performance and perfect sound quality.
