Is it still necessary to display the vehicle inspection sticker?

No, it is not required. Currently, China has implemented electronic vehicle inspection labels nationwide, eliminating the need for paper stickers. Vehicle owners can apply for, view, and use the electronic vehicle inspection certificate through the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Platform or the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app. Below are specific details on how to check the vehicle inspection status: 1. For vehicles undergoing registration, transfer, or modification: After completing the vehicle registration process, a paper inspection certificate will be issued, and the system will automatically generate an electronic inspection certificate. Vehicle owners can view, download, and use it via the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Platform or the "Traffic Management 12123" app. 2. For vehicles exempt from inspection within six years: Owners can directly apply for the electronic inspection certificate through the aforementioned platforms. If a paper certificate is needed, they can choose mail delivery or pick it up at the vehicle management office. 3. For vehicles undergoing on-site inspection: After passing the inspection, the inspection center will issue a paper certificate and remind the owner to view or download the electronic version online. 4. For vehicles within the valid inspection period: Owners can directly view, download, and use the electronic certificate through the platforms. 5. For vehicles with lost or damaged paper certificates: There is no need to reapply for a replacement. Owners can directly view or download the electronic certificate online. If a paper certificate is required, they can opt for mail delivery or pick it up at the vehicle management office.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I don't need to stick that yellow inspection sticker anymore. Last year, I obtained the electronic decal via the 12123 app – just show the QR code to police during checks. My windshield used to be covered in glue marks from inspection stickers, insurance decals, and emission labels that would wrinkle under summer sun. It's much more convenient now, but I'd remind new drivers: always update electronic decals promptly. If your phone loses signal, keep a screenshot ready. Before my last road trip, I even taped a printed copy near my car mount – better safe than sorry. Note: some older vehicles during ownership transfers might still require paper versions, so it's wise to call the local DMV beforehand.

Which is More Harmful: Accident-Damaged Cars or Flood-Damaged Cars?

Compared to accident-damaged cars, flood-damaged cars are more harmful. Here are some methods to identify flood-damaged cars: Smell the interior odor: Check if there is a musty smell inside the car. Flood-damaged cars often have a musty odor in hidden areas such as the floor mats, trunk mats, and under the seats, which is difficult to remove and usually leaves evidence. If you detect a musty smell, be cautious. Also, be wary if the car smells overly fragrant, as this might be an attempt to mask the musty odor. Inspect hidden parts of the vehicle: Check for rust or signs of replacement on screws in hidden areas. Pull the seats out to see if there is rust or sand in the tracks. Extend the seatbelt fully to check for water stains or dirt at the end.

Can Windshield Washer Fluid Be Diluted with Water?

Windshield washer fluid can be diluted with water because it is made of deionized water and various environmentally friendly additives, which provide properties such as dirt removal, antifreeze, antistatic, anti-corrosion, rapid snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fogging, thereby enhancing driving safety. The usage method of windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. Spray the windshield washer fluid onto the area to be cleaned and wipe it with a soft cotton cloth until it becomes clear; 2. For heavy dirt, repeat the cleaning process and rinse with water, then dry until bright; 3. After dilution, it can be directly poured into the vehicle's windshield washer reservoir for on-the-go spraying; 4. For winter antifreeze and anti-fogging purposes, it can be used in conjunction with automotive glass anti-fogging agents.

Is the Timely Four-Wheel Drive Prone to Failure After Several Years?

Timely four-wheel drive is generally prone to failure after several years. Here are the details: Working Principle of Timely Four-Wheel Drive: The timely four-wheel drive system only switches to four-wheel drive when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under other conditions. The system automatically switches between two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes based on the vehicle's driving conditions, without requiring manual operation. Advantages: Compared to full-time four-wheel drive, the structure of timely four-wheel drive is much simpler, which not only effectively reduces costs but also helps lower the overall vehicle weight. Due to its unique structure, timely four-wheel drive is more suitable for vehicles with front transverse engine front-wheel drive platforms. This makes it possible for many SUVs or four-wheel drive sedans based on this platform to be equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The front-wheel drive platform is more conducive to expanding interior space, improving transmission efficiency, and reducing transmission system noise compared to the rear-wheel drive platform. These advantages are particularly important for small SUVs, especially those with smaller engine displacements.

What is the difference between the handbrake and the footbrake?

The difference between the handbrake and the footbrake lies in the tires they act upon. Below are the specific details: Different tires affected: The footbrake applies braking to all four wheels; the handbrake only affects the rear wheels. Different principles: The footbrake works by distributing hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder to each wheel's brake caliper, which then pushes the brake pads to frictionally engage the brake disc (or drum), achieving deceleration or stopping. The handbrake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Different braking force: The footbrake provides greater braking force and includes safety features such as brake force distribution and brake override. The handbrake offers less braking force and lacks such safety configurations. Different usage scenarios: The footbrake is generally used for braking or slowing down while the vehicle is in motion; the handbrake is used after the vehicle has stopped to prevent it from rolling away.

Is the handbrake light a P or an exclamation mark?

Generally, the handbrake light is a P. Here are the specific details: Handbrake light identification: Usually, the handbrake light is a P, but some models use an exclamation mark indicator for both the handbrake and the parking brake. If the vehicle has both P and exclamation mark indicators, then P is the handbrake indicator. For automatic transmission vehicles, if P lights up in the gear indicator, it means the shift lever and transmission are in the parking position. The exclamation mark indicates a fault in the parking brake system, usually caused by insufficient brake fluid. Handbrake light differences: A P or exclamation mark on the dashboard indicates an electronic parking system fault. Depending on the model and brand, the meanings of dashboard indicators may vary. For example, some cars display a red circle with an exclamation mark when the handbrake is not engaged, while others show a circle with a P. However, it is best to refer to the vehicle's user manual for accurate information.

Is It Harmful to Drive Without Warming Up the Car in Winter?

Driving without warming up the car in winter can cause wear and tear on the engine, transmission, and other parts of the car, leading to a shortened lifespan; it also increases fuel consumption and makes the engine more prone to carbon deposits. Reasons for warming up the car in winter: After being parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine; before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline due to the low temperature; in cold conditions, gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Specific steps for warming up the car in winter: Start the car for 30 seconds to one minute until the engine coolant reaches normal temperature, then you can start driving. However, avoid high-speed driving at this time—maintain a low speed and do not exceed 2000 RPM. While driving at low speed, monitor the coolant temperature gauge. If it rises slightly, you can shift up appropriately. After driving about one kilometer, the car will be fully warmed up, and you can then drive normally.
