A 5-seater passenger vehicle that has reached 6 years of age requires biennial inspection under the new annual inspection regulations implemented on November 20, 2020. Below is an introduction to vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection procedure refers to the mandatory process that every motor vehicle must undergo annually, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle. It helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce traffic accidents, commonly known as vehicle inspection. Items to prepare for annual inspection: Before the annual inspection, check the validity date of the compulsory traffic insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance; bring the ID card of the vehicle owner or the agent; and the vehicle registration certificate.

I totally relate to what you're asking. New cars don't need to go through inspection stations for the first six years, which saves a lot of hassle. But after six years, they require biennial inspections. My own car just passed the six-year mark and underwent its first inspection last year. The process was quite straightforward - mainly checking brakes, lights, and safety indicators, taking about half an hour. I'd recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid peak hours. Getting inspected every two years isn't too frequent, and it helps identify potential issues like tire wear or exhaust pipe aging, preventing accidents on the road. With regular maintenance combined with these inspections, my car has been in excellent condition.

In vehicle service inquiries, it is common to encounter such questions: after a new car enjoys the six-year exemption from on-site inspection, it transitions to a biennial on-site inspection mode according to traffic regulations. This means the owner must visit designated stations for a comprehensive safety evaluation, including critical items such as the braking system and emission compliance. Without regular monitoring, aging vehicles are prone to malfunctions, hence the reasonable two-year interval. I recommend owners keep the vehicle management notification SMS or app reminders and prepare necessary documents like the vehicle license and insurance policy in advance. If the process goes smoothly, it can be completed in half an hour.

New vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first six years, after which inspections are required every two years. This is the standard procedure, mainly checking safety-critical points like brakes and lights. Remember to get your car inspected on time, otherwise, you may face fines or penalty points. The process is usually quick, so there's no need to worry too much. It's best for car owners to check the date one month in advance and prepare the necessary documents. Regular maintenance can make the annual inspection easier.

Why does the Focus's fan keep running after the engine is turned off?

Ford Focus's fan continues to run after engine shutdown to cool down the engine. Here are specific details about automotive cooling fans: 1. Automatic activation conditions: The radiator fan automatically turns on when coolant temperature reaches 98°C. The car's radiator fan activates automatically and cannot be manually controlled. It remains off at low temperatures and operates at two different speed levels for medium and high temperatures. 2. Medium and high fan speeds: Typically, the fan automatically activates medium speed at 95°C and high speed at 105°C. When coolant temperature reaches 95°C, the fan starts running at 1600 RPM. When temperature reaches 105°C, the fan speed increases to approximately 2400 RPM to enhance cooling efficiency.

Will a Financed Car Have a GPS Installed?

The vast majority will have a GPS installed. Below is more information about in-car GPS: 1. In-car navigation: In-car navigation uses the vehicle's GPS (Global Positioning System) in conjunction with electronic maps to conveniently and accurately inform the driver of the shortest or fastest route to the destination. 2. Signal reception: The GPS system works by analyzing signals received from synchronous satellites. When projected onto a vertical plane, these signals can be visually represented as inverted funnel shapes. When the lower parts of these 'funnels' overlap to a certain extent, the GPS processing program can calculate the coordinates of the car's location. 3. Signal processing: The signals received by the GPS and the information provided by the speed measurement device are transmitted through the receiver to the car's navigation system, where they are analyzed and processed by the software system and overlaid onto the stored map.

Why is the steering wheel too heavy?

Reasons for a heavy steering wheel: 1. Power steering pump failure: When the pump pressure of the power steering pump fails to meet the standard value, the steering wheel will feel heavy. 2. Steering gear failure: When the power steering oil pressure is low, the steering will feel heavy. 3. Lack of oil or air in the power steering system: Air in the power steering system not only makes steering heavy but also causes noise during steering. 4. Clogged return oil filter in the oil reservoir: If the return oil filter in the oil reservoir is not maintained or replaced for a long time, it can easily become clogged, leading to poor circulation of power steering oil and a heavier steering wheel. Avoiding full lock when turning can help protect the steering wheel to some extent, effectively reduce steering wheel vibration issues, make steering smoother, and extend the lifespan of the car's steering wheel.
