Car washing is not mandatory for vehicle inspection, but it is better to wash the car before the annual inspection, though it is optional. Scenarios where washing the car before inspection is recommended: If the vehicle is nearing its maintenance mileage, it is advisable to take it to a 4S dealership for maintenance and a free check-up. The staff at the dealership will then inspect the engine's working condition, lighting, braking performance, and other indicators in advance. Additionally, if the car body is not very clean, it is best to wash it thoroughly. Requirements for annual vehicle inspection: The vehicle's exterior should be clean and tidy, all lights and instruments must be functional and intact, and there should be no illegal modifications or non-compliant conditions. The vehicle's brakes and handbrake must perform well, and it should be equipped with a functional fire extinguisher and reflective warning sign.

What to Do When the Sunroof Makes Noise on Bumpy Roads?

When the sunroof makes noise on bumpy roads, you can check the sunroof's fastening condition, as the noise may be caused by looseness and requires tightening to resolve. The car sunroof not only serves a very practical purpose but also enhances the vehicle's appearance. In summer, car owners should pay attention to inspecting and maintaining the car's sunroof to prevent heavy rain outside and light rain inside the car. Adjusting the sunroof screws to eliminate noise: 1. Open the sunroof by one notch, and you will find a plastic decorative strip on each side of the track, secured at the front, middle, and rear points along with the sunroof. Pull downward in the direction of the car's front and push inward at the other two points to easily remove it; 2. After removing the plastic decorative strip, you can see three screws inside. Loosen the front and rear screws, but do not touch the middle one; 3. Make slight adjustments to the upper and lower parts of the sunroof glass at the front. Observe whether the sunroof glass naturally tilts up or sinks when the screws are loosened, and adjust accordingly by lifting or pulling down. The adjustment range does not need to be too large, about 1 millimeter is sufficient.

What are the key points for safe driving in rainy weather?

Key points for safe driving in rainy weather: 1. Maintain good visibility - besides driving cautiously, promptly turn on the windshield wipers when driving in rain, and activate low beam headlights and fog lights when the weather is dim; 2. Prevent wheel sideslip - rainwater on the road forms a lubricant between the tires and the road surface, reducing the car's braking performance and making it prone to sideslip; 3. Drive slowly in low gear - when needing to stop, try to decelerate about 100 meters in advance and apply the brakes gently, giving following vehicles sufficient emergency preparation time to avoid collisions or rear-end accidents caused by sudden braking; 4. Avoid getting stuck when wading through water; 5. It's not advisable to accelerate to overtake.
