Under the 2021 annual inspection regulations, vehicles aged 15 years and above still require two inspections per year. The most significant changes in the 2021 annual inspection: The major updates in the 2021 annual inspection include expanding the scope of private vehicle exemptions and optimizing the inspection cycle, with 7-seater vehicles now included in the exempt category. Additionally, vehicle inspection procedures have been simplified following the advancement of vehicle management reforms. However, inspection requirements have become stricter after the implementation of the China VI emission standards. 2021 annual inspection new regulations: The 2021 vehicle inspection regulations expand the exemption scope for private vehicles and optimize the inspection cycle (effective from November 20, 2020). Non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats within 6 years of age are now included in the exempt category. For non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles over 6 but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from annual to biennial, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. However, vans, vehicles penalized for illegal modifications, vehicles involved in fatal accidents, and vehicles unregistered for over 4 years since manufacture are not eligible for the 6-year exemption policy.

What does engine start-stop technology mean?

Introduction to the meaning of engine start-stop technology: Engine start-stop technology refers to the automatic shutdown of the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Here are more details: 1. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. 2. The operation of the automatic start-stop system is as follows: while driving, as soon as the brake pedal is pressed directly and the vehicle comes to a complete stop for about two seconds, the engine will automatically shut off. As long as the brake pedal is held down, the engine remains off. As soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine automatically restarts immediately, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and start moving again, all while remaining in D gear.

How Long Does the Driving School Learning Period Expire?

According to Article 38 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the learning driving permit obtained during the process of learning to drive on training grounds and roads will expire after three years. The validity period of the learning driving permit is three years, and applicants must complete the subject two and subject three tests within this period. Failing to complete the tests within the validity period will result in the invalidation of any previously passed subjects. The passing standards for the driving license test are as follows: 1. Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject One) written test, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Field driving (Subject Two) on-site, actual vehicle operation. Only pass or fail is assessed. There are nine mandatory test items (all without poles), including reversing into a garage, turning around on a narrow road, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, emergency braking, driving through a tunnel, and taking a card at a toll booth. All nine items must be passed to pass the Subject Two test. 3. Road driving (Subject Three) on the highway or simulated site, actual vehicle operation. The test is fully monitored by electronic eyes and traffic police, making the road test more fair.

What are the symptoms of abnormal intake manifold vacuum?

Symptoms of abnormal intake manifold vacuum are as follows: 1. It can cause weak engine operation. 2. It may lead to difficulty in engine starting. 3. It can affect emissions. 4. It may result in unstable idle. The effects of intake manifold air leakage on the engine mainly include the following aspects: 1. Abnormal intake manifold vacuum can cause weak engine operation: If the intake manifold vacuum is too low at idle, it indicates that air is entering the intake manifold through bypass routes. Since this air is not measured by the mass air flow sensor or controlled by the throttle, the sensor's reading will be lower than the actual intake air volume. The ECU determines the basic fuel injection quantity based on signals from the mass air flow sensor, leading to insufficient fuel injection and an overly lean air-fuel mixture, resulting in weak engine operation. 2. Abnormal intake manifold vacuum can cause difficulty in engine starting: If the circular cover at the end of the intake manifold's upper stabilizer chamber falls off, excessive air intake will make the air-fuel mixture too lean, causing difficulty in engine starting. 3. Abnormal intake manifold vacuum can affect emissions: Reduced intake manifold vacuum increases engine load and combustion chamber temperature, raising the peak temperature of exhaust gases per cycle, which leads to higher NOx emissions. 4. Abnormal intake manifold vacuum can cause unstable idle: If there is an intake manifold air leak, the mass air flow sensor cannot accurately measure the real intake air volume, causing the ECU to inaccurately control the air intake, resulting in unstable engine idle.

What Causes Sudden Tire Pressure Drop?

The gradual decrease in tire pressure may be caused by a leaking valve stem, or it could be due to wheel rim deformation, which prevents a tight seal between the rim and the tire, leading to slow air leakage during use. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and drifting, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; Makes steering heavier and prone to drifting, compromising safety; Increases movement of tire parts, leading to abnormal heat from excessive rolling; Weakens cord and rubber function, causing delamination, cord breakage, or rim friction damage; Multiplies ground friction, rapidly heating and softening tires, drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may cause blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, causing sidewall cracks and excessive heat from flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and tread shoulder wear.

What is the ABS anti-lock braking system in cars?

ABS, short for Antilock Brake System, functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle deceleration to prevent wheel lock-up. It maintains the wheels in a state of rolling with slight slippage (slip ratio around 20%), ensuring maximum traction between the tires and the road surface. Classification of ABS: ABS is primarily categorized based on channels. In ABS systems, each brake circuit capable of independent pressure modulation is referred to as a control channel. ABS configurations include four-channel, three-channel, two-channel, and single-channel systems. Single-channel ABS: Also known as one-channel ABS, it features a single brake pressure modulator in the rear brake circuit and typically uses one wheel speed sensor mounted on the rear axle differential (though some models may have individual sensors per rear wheel). Two-channel ABS: This configuration struggles to balance directional stability, steering control, and braking efficiency, making it rarely used in modern applications. Three-channel ABS: Provides independent control for both front wheels while jointly controlling the rear wheels under the select-low principle (where both wheels are managed by one channel to prevent lock-up of the wheel with poorer traction), also called hybrid control. Four-channel ABS: Equipped with four wheel speed sensors, this system has individual brake pressure modulators for each wheel's brake caliper circuit, enabling fully independent four-wheel control.
