According to current regulations, cars older than six years require an annual inspection. However, based on new rules issued by the Ministry of Public Security effective from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles have shifted from annual inspections to biennial inspections. Only the 6th and 8th year require an on-site inspection at the vehicle management office to obtain the annual inspection pass mark. Relevant details about annual inspections are as follows: Introduction 1: Annual inspection, colloquially referred to as annual review, means routine examination on a yearly basis. Introduction 2: Vehicle annual inspection primarily involves safety checks, including comprehensive inspections of components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc.

What are the reasons for a car starting and then stalling on its own?

The reasons for a car starting and then stalling on its own are: 1. Insufficient fuel, aging or clogged fuel pump, malfunctioning fuel pressure regulator, or fuel leakage with air or water contamination; 2. Worn oil pump, oil pressure below the starting threshold, issues with the oil pressure sensor or safety valve; 3. Faulty high-tension wires, spark plugs, or ignition coils; 4. Engine malfunction; 5. Weak battery, loose battery terminals, faulty ignition switch, aging or poor contact in the ignition circuit; 6. Abnormalities in other signal sources, preventing correct and timely transmission of signals to the control computer.

Will High Tire Pressure Trigger an Alarm?

High tire pressure will trigger an alarm. The hazards of excessive tire pressure include: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; 2. Increased steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; 3. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; 4. Increased vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Factors affecting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors—in winter, it is advisable to increase tire pressure by 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure, while in summer, if the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can be 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures; 2. Tire pressure measurement environment—cold tires and hot tires have different pressures, with a typical difference of 0.3bar to note during measurement.

How to Use One-Touch Power Window?

The usage of one-touch power window is: 1. Directly pull up the window button to raise the window to the top, then release after 3 to 5 seconds; 2. Press the window button to lower the window to the bottom, then release after 3 to 5 seconds; 3. Press the one-touch button once to activate. For cars equipped with one-touch power windows, the window control switch has two buttons. The first button position is the same as a regular power window, while the second position allows the window to automatically fully open or close with a single press and release. The one-touch power window function is designed for the convenience of drivers and passengers, preventing the driver from being distracted by operating the windows and improving safety.

Can I continue driving if the ESP warning light is on?

You can continue driving if the ESP warning light is on. The reasons for the light being on are: 1. Engine knocking; 2. Poor fuel quality, with carbon deposits accumulated inside the engine cylinders; 3. ESP system malfunction. The ESP consists of four components with the following functions: 1. Sensors for detecting the vehicle's state and the driver's operation; 2. The ECU section for estimating the vehicle's skid state and calculating the required rotational momentum and deceleration to restore to a safe state; 3. The actuator section for controlling the braking force of each wheel and the engine output power based on the calculation results; 4. The information section for alerting the driver about the vehicle's instability.

What is the Difference Between Monocoque Body and Body-on-Frame?

The differences between monocoque body and body-on-frame are: 1. Different structures: In a monocoque body vehicle, all components are directly installed on the body; in a body-on-frame vehicle, components are installed on the chassis frame, and the body does not bear the vehicle components. 2. Different maintenance: Monocoque bodies are more complex to repair; body-on-frame vehicles make it easier to replace parts or perform maintenance. 3. Different collision behaviors: In a monocoque body, the front and rear frames collapse during a collision to absorb impact forces and protect occupants; due to the presence of the chassis frame, body-on-frame vehicles cannot collapse like monocoque bodies to absorb impact forces during a collision.
