After the implementation of the new vehicle inspection regulations, small cars between 6 and 10 years old require an inspection every 2 years. At the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: vehicles between 10 and 15 years old require an annual inspection, while those over 15 years old require an inspection every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they require an inspection every 6 months. Freight vehicles: Freight vehicles and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they require an inspection every 6 months. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, they require an annual inspection; after 15 years, they require an inspection every 6 months.

Why does the car battery drain overnight?

If the car battery drains overnight, it indicates a deep discharge condition in the vehicle's battery. Solution: You need to take the car to a repair shop for servicing. If the normal voltage cannot be restored, the battery needs to be replaced. Car battery replacement: When replacing the car battery, you can choose batteries of the same voltage from different brands or opt for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery. Currently, most car batteries use maintenance-free batteries. Battery types: Car batteries are divided into maintenance-free batteries and traditional batteries. Maintenance-free batteries have structural advantages, and their service life is twice that of traditional batteries, reaching up to 6 years.

What gear should be used when climbing a slope with a manual-automatic transmission?

When climbing a slope with a manual-automatic transmission, you can switch to manual mode and then select 1st or 2nd gear to maintain the engine speed above 3000 RPM for optimal climbing performance. Here are some specific details about manual-automatic transmissions: 1. A manual-automatic transmission combines the manual gear shifting and automatic gear shifting modes of a car. The manual mode allows you to freely adjust gears and engine speed, providing a thrilling driving experience with a strong sense of sportiness and driving pleasure. 2. The manual-automatic transmission is designed to enhance the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions by giving the driver control over gear shift timing, which is normally determined by the computer.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing New Tires on a Car?

Replacing tires does not require a wheel alignment. Changing the rims and tires only affects the overall dynamic balance of the wheels and has no impact on the suspension. Swapping rims or tires merely alters the properties of the wheels, so a dynamic balance adjustment is sufficient. Wheel alignment refers to the properties of the suspension. As long as the size remains consistent when changing tires or rims, a wheel alignment is unnecessary. Below are some scenarios where a wheel alignment might be necessary: 1. When one side of the tire is severely worn, but the tire itself is fine, it's advisable to get a wheel alignment; 2. If the vehicle has been in an accident, causing significant damage to the chassis or suspension, which may affect tire alignment, a wheel alignment should be performed.

What causes a vehicle to pull to the right while driving?

Vehicle pulling to the right while driving is caused by: 1. Tire issues: Uneven tire pressure between the two sides will cause the vehicle to pull toward the side with lower pressure; uneven tread depth on the front tires will also cause pulling toward the side with shallower tread. 2. Alignment data: Incorrect alignment data can also lead to pulling, with the vehicle tending to pull toward the side with greater camber or less caster. Vehicle pulling is not an overly serious or complex issue, mainly caused by imbalances between the left and right sides. When such problems occur, it is necessary to have the vehicle properly adjusted. Otherwise, prolonged driving in this condition will only result in uneven wear on critical components like tires, leading to more potential safety hazards.

What causes the handbrake light to occasionally illuminate while driving?

The reason the handbrake light occasionally illuminates while driving is due to brake fluid leakage. Solution for brake fluid leakage: It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair the leakage point, then replenish the missing brake fluid, and the handbrake light will return to normal and turn off. Electronic handbrake: The electronic handbrake can provide accurate parking force through the slope sensor by the controller. When starting, the parking control unit calculates information provided by the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. It automatically releases the parking brake when the driving force exceeds the driving resistance, allowing the car to start smoothly.
