Nowadays, vehicle annual inspection labels have been digitized and no longer need to be displayed on the vehicle. Relevant information: After the launch of electronic insurance policies for auto insurance, insurance companies will issue 'electronic proof documents in the form of data messages that prove the auto insurance contract relationship' to policyholders, namely electronic auto insurance policies. These serve as electronic substitutes for paper insurance policies and endorsements, possessing the same legal validity as their paper counterparts. Notes for annual inspection: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's exhaust emissions will be tested for compliance, specifically focusing on the oxygen sensor and the three-way catalytic converter. Their optimal operating temperature ranges between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended that owners warm up their vehicles in the external inspection area before proceeding with the exhaust emission test. Before the annual inspection, owners should clean the vehicle body in advance. Cleaning the vehicle's body, engine compartment, and chassis beforehand can facilitate the inspection process and help pass the annual inspection. The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lighting. If the vehicle's lights are found to be too dim or too bright, they will be deemed unqualified, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. It is advisable to restore the original state of the vehicle's headlights before the annual inspection to ensure passing the test.

After years of driving, I no longer need to display physical vehicle inspection stickers, especially in major cities where digitalization has been fully implemented. We can now check the annual inspection status directly through the 12123 Traffic Management APP or official website, which is incredibly convenient. Having one less sticker on the windshield makes it look cleaner and safer. I used to worry about the glue not holding or placing it incorrectly, which could lead to awkward situations during highway checks. I recommend car owners stay updated with local policies, as while the national trend is phasing out paper stickers, some remote areas might still have different requirements. The vehicle's condition itself is more crucial – I remind myself every year to complete the inspection on time, checking basic components like lights and brakes to ensure driving safety. Digital technology not only reduces resource waste but also improves car usage efficiency, which is truly beneficial.

As someone who has experienced the old vehicle management system, I recall the days when the inspection sticker had to be affixed to a designated spot on the windshield. Every year during replacement, I had to handle it with extreme care to avoid dirtying the car. Now, with technological advancements, most places no longer mandate physical stickers, as electronic records handle everything. As an old-school driver like me, I wasn’t initially comfortable with mobile operations, but after my son helped me download the app, checking the annual inspection became much easier. Safe driving has always been my top priority, and driving with an expired inspection poses significant risks, so I maintain regular maintenance habits, such as changing the oil and checking tire pressure. Although the transition to digital was quick, adapting to it has made life simpler.

Efficiency is crucial during daily commutes. Currently, electronic vehicle inspection labels have been fully implemented in major cities, eliminating the need for any physical stickers. We can quickly check the status via mobile apps to avoid unnecessary hassles. Legally, it's mandatory to ensure the annual inspection is within the valid period, as driving with an expired inspection may result in fines. Personally, I prefer setting reminders in advance through the traffic management system to avoid disrupting work schedules. Vehicle performance maintenance is equally important—regular checks on the engine and systems ensure safety remains the top priority. The digital transformation has streamlined the process and is worth promoting.

How Often Should the BMW Fuel Filter Be Replaced?

BMW fuel filters generally need to be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The fuel filter is mainly installed in the fuel pipe next to the fuel tank and serves to filter impurities from the gasoline. If the vehicle undergoes regular maintenance during daily use, the replacement interval for the fuel filter can be appropriately extended. Fuel filters are divided into the following two types: 1. Inline fuel filter: It is located outside the fuel tank and connected to the fuel inlet pipe, whose main function is to deliver fuel to the engine. The advantage is that it is relatively easy to replace. 2. Built-in fuel filter: Located inside the fuel tank, it is very complicated to replace and has higher maintenance costs. The advantage of the built-in fuel filter is its very high flow rate and it is less likely to cause blockages.

What is the correct starting method for the CS55?

The correct starting method for the CS55 is as follows: 1. The one-button start method for the Changan CS55 is slightly different from other models. You need to press the brake pedal and then press the one-button ignition to start the vehicle. The one-button start is a part of smart car systems, designed to simplify the ignition process with a single button, which can also be used to turn off the engine. The one-button start can be installed by modifying the original key slot or through an independent panel modification. 2. The CS55's X-element space capsule-style center console area is very distinctive, while the craftsmanship and texture maintain the excellent refinement that the Changan brand is known for. With the increasing market demand, one-button start has gradually become a must-have feature for cars, and product prices have declined, making it more accessible to the general public. Professional installers are required to ensure smooth modification and functionality, and special handling is needed for car electronic anti-theft systems.

What type of battery does NIO use?

NIO vehicles are powered by lithium-ion battery packs supplied by CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited). Here are key specifications about the NIO ES8 model: Battery Capacity: The NIO ES8 is equipped with a 70kWh battery pack, delivering a range of 355km under comprehensive driving conditions. Why doesn't NIO further increase the ES8's range? The primary reason lies in the vehicle's extensive configurations and powerful powertrain system, which result in significant curb weight and higher energy consumption. Achieving a range increase from 300km to 400km would require substantial trade-offs. Powertrain Performance: Taking the NIO ES8 as an example, it features dual motors with a power density of 2.89kW/kg. Each motor delivers a maximum power output of 240kW, with the combined system generating 653 horsepower (maximum power) and 840N•m of torque (maximum torque), enabling a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.4 seconds.

What Causes Significant Engine Vibration When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in the Buick Excelle?

Significant engine vibration when the air conditioning is turned on in the Buick Excelle can be caused by a dirty throttle body or collapsed/damaged engine mounts. Below are detailed explanations: Dirty Throttle Body: As the vehicle accumulates mileage, carbon deposits can build up in various areas, particularly the throttle body. If the throttle body is excessively dirty, it can obstruct air intake, leading to insufficient engine power to drive the compressor smoothly, resulting in noticeable engine vibration when the AC is on. Cleaning the throttle body is the solution, typically recommended every 20,000 kilometers. Collapsed or Damaged Engine Mounts: Even during normal operation, the engine produces vibrations (including when the compressor is engaged), but these are partially dampened by the engine mounts, making the vibrations less noticeable. If the engine mounts are collapsed or damaged, the engine's balance is disrupted, potentially causing resonance when the compressor is activated and amplifying the vibrations. It is advisable to visit a 4S shop for repairs.
