Vehicle annual inspection is based on the month rather than the specific date. As long as it does not exceed the last day of October, the vehicle can be driven on the road without issues. However, it's important to remind car owners that vehicle insurance is tied to both the month and specific date. For example, if the insurance is purchased on October 8th, it will expire on October 7th of the following year. Introduction to vehicle annual inspection: It refers to a mandatory inspection for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Purpose of vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Relevant regulations regarding vehicle annual inspection are stipulated in documents such as the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law". Some preparatory work is required before the inspection to ensure normal and smooth passage. There are initial and periodic inspections, along with some related policies.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, let me tell you about this vehicle inspection deadline in October. Yes, you can get your car inspected on any day within October, but don't wait until the last few days. Last time I procrastinated until the 29th, ended up queuing for two hours, and the inspection station staff warned me they might not finish all inspections due to the end-of-month rush. Imagine if it rains or there's traffic on the 31st! Annual inspection isn't just about legal compliance - it's crucial for vehicle safety. My advice? Schedule it early, maybe right after the National Day holiday. Check your lights and brakes beforehand since these are common failure points. Bring photocopies of your vehicle license and insurance policy to avoid multiple trips. If your car fails inspection, you'll need time for repairs. Bottom line: Don't treat October as an excuse to slack off. Prioritize safety and compliance - aim to get it done early or mid-month.

Why does the tire pressure monitor show 1.6bar and keep beeping?

If a CRV suddenly prompts to check tire pressure, it means the tire pressure data of the vehicle is insufficient. It is necessary to inspect the tires to determine the causes of the low pressure and then perform repairs to resolve the issue. Only then can the vehicle be used normally; otherwise, it may affect driving safety. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreased puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire parts, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and excessive heat from flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.

What is the normal tire pressure for a three-wheeled motorcycle?

The normal tire pressure for a three-wheeled motorcycle is 200~225 kPa for the front wheel and 250~280 kPa for the rear wheel. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Measuring tire pressure requires a specialized pressure gauge. It is worth noting that the readings on the pressure gauge can be affected by temperature to some extent. Therefore, in summer, it is common to slightly reduce the tire pressure to prevent blowouts, while in winter, the pressure may be slightly increased. As long as the value remains between 2.2 and 2.5 bar, it is acceptable. The recommended tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's specifications, which can be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label next to the driver's door, in the drawer near the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure is also known as the cold tire pressure. The measurement is defined as: at least three hours after parking or if the tire has not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If you can only measure the tire pressure when the tire is hot, subtract approximately 0.3 bar (=4 psi) from the measured value to obtain the cold inflation pressure.

In winter rainy days, should the defogging use internal or external air circulation?

In winter, when using warm air for defogging, you can first adjust the air circulation mode to external circulation to reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. After waiting for a few minutes, switch to internal circulation mode. Using anti-fog spray: When using defogging spray, car owners only need to spray it evenly on the glass surface and then wipe it clean with a dry towel. After wiping, a protective film will remain on the glass surface, altering the surface tension of water molecules and causing fog droplets to coalesce into larger water droplets, thus not obstructing the view. This method is also applicable to other car glass surfaces, especially the exterior rearview mirrors. Homemade defogging spray with dish soap: Mix dish soap with water in a 1:6 ratio, put it in a bottle, and spray and wipe it before traveling. The effect is comparable to commercially available defogging sprays, though the durability is slightly inferior.

Where to Buy Used Rims?

Cars' used rims can be purchased at professional auto repair centers or specialized modification shops, or searched for on used car trading platforms. When purchasing used rims, it's important to ensure the model matches. Below is a related introduction: Rim Introduction: The rim is the metal component inside the tire that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel. There are many types of wheels based on diameter, width, and manufacturing materials, with ordinary car wheels considering appearance less. Enamel Treatment: The heat dissipation performance of the wheel is a primary consideration for ordinary car tires, mostly using enamel treatment. Spraying first and then electric baking is cost-effective, and the wheel's color can last a long time. Electroplated wheels can be divided into types like electroplated silver, water silver, and pure electroplating, with pure electroplating maintaining color for a long time, used by most high-end car models.

Does Toyota Financial Have High Credit Requirements?

Toyota Financial has certain credit requirements, but they are not particularly strict. Typically, lending institutions decide whether to approve a loan based on the applicant's credit history. Here are the conditions that need to be met: Income must meet the standard: Generally, lending institutions require that the income of those seeking an auto loan should not be less than twice the monthly payment. If income is too low, after deducting daily expenses, there may be little left. In such cases, taking on a car loan could lead to insufficient repayment capacity, which poses a high risk of default for the lender, likely resulting in loan rejection. To avoid this, you can add a co-borrower, such as a parent, spouse, or child, but the vehicle's ownership remains solely with the primary borrower, while the co-borrower is only responsible for joint repayment. Bank statements must be acceptable: When applying for an auto loan, it is usually necessary to provide bank statements, preferably salary statements showing fixed dates and amounts for at least six consecutive months. This builds trust and goodwill with the lender, demonstrating the applicant's repayment ability. If salary statements are unavailable, self-deposited statements can be used, with similar requirements—the key is that the applicant's funds must remain in the account overnight and not be immediately withdrawn after deposit. Note that if there is a co-borrower, both parties' bank statements must be provided. Combining both statements makes it easier to meet the income requirements, significantly improving the chances of approval.
