The content includes the following 5 points: 1. Wheel rim style: The new regulations have relaxed the rules for wheel rim modifications. As long as the size and specifications of the wheel rims match those on the registration certificate, the style can be changed. It is even acceptable for all four wheel rims to have different styles; 2. Installing roof racks and side running boards: This new regulation mainly targets SUV and MPV models. The height of the installed roof rack must be within 300 millimeters, and the width of the side running boards must not exceed 5 centimeters beyond the side profile of the vehicle; 3. Vehicle body color: If the vehicle body color is changed through painting or wrapping, the vehicle information must be updated at the vehicle management office within ten days. It is important to note that colors similar to those used by police cars, fire trucks, etc., are not allowed; 4. Grille and front/rear bumpers: Installing new grilles and bumpers must not alter the original length and width of the vehicle. Modifying the vehicle emblem is not permitted, and the bumpers must not have any obvious protrusions; 5. Roof racks can be installed: However, the installation height must not exceed 30cm, and modifications must be carried out under the premise of ensuring safety and stability for passenger vehicles.

I'm quite concerned about the new modification regulations. As someone who frequently works on cars, it's essential to understand the sixteen key points. For example, the body outline length, width, and height cannot be modified; adding spoilers or exaggerated body kits is illegal. Lights are limited to standard colors, and flashy neon lights won't pass inspection. Don't arbitrarily adjust the suspension height, as it affects driving stability. Wheel size must remain factory-standard, as larger replacements can lead to loss of control. Roof racks have height restrictions, and exceeding them can block visibility. Exhaust modifications must not create excessive noise, and fake sound amplifiers are banned. Window tint must have over 70% light transmittance to prevent visibility issues. Engine tuning must comply with regulations, as increasing horsepower unsafely is prohibited. Changes to body color must be registered within 15 days. Airbags cannot be removed. Brake system upgrades must meet standards. Also, dashboard displays should not be tampered with, as they could mislead drivers. These regulations enhance safety awareness—modifications must be legal, so consult professional shops to avoid trouble.

Experienced drivers have gone through multiple regulation changes, and the new 16 rules emphasize safety as the bottom line. The overall body shape must not undergo significant alterations to prevent loss of control; modifications to lighting must limit color differences to ensure nighttime safety; adjusting chassis height is dangerous and raising or lowering is prohibited; wheel hub specifications must remain original, as larger wheels can easily cause skidding; roof racks cannot be heightened or widened; the exhaust system must not be modified to produce loud roaring sounds; window tinting with insufficient light transmittance is non-compliant; color changes require registration and filing; safety equipment such as airbags must not be removed; instrument displays must not be adjusted; the braking system must not be arbitrarily replaced; electrical circuit modifications pose high risks. These rules, based on experience, can reduce accidents, and it is advisable to comply with regulations for peace of mind while driving. While personalization through modifications is understandable, safety comes first as the unbreakable principle, making annual inspections much easier.

When modifying a family car, pay attention to the 16 new regulations. Here are a few key points: the vehicle's exterior size cannot be altered; lights must maintain normal colors; wheel rim sizes must remain original; window tint must allow 70% light transmission; exhaust systems cannot be excessively loud and disturb others; changes to body color must be registered; airbags and seat belts must not be tampered with. These basic rules ensure the safety of our families on the road. Modifications are for aesthetic purposes, but compliance is essential for reliability.

What is the tutorial for replacing the battery in a Lexus car key?

Here are the steps for replacing the battery in a Lexus car key: 1. Remove the battery: Detach the mechanical part of the key, insert a flat-head screwdriver (or the flat-head part of the mechanical key) into the groove, rotate it left and right to separate the electronic key casing into two halves, and lift the chip section to reveal the round coin battery. Remove the battery, confirm the positive and negative sides, and install a new lithium coin battery. 2.

Under What Circumstances Can You Make a U-Turn Without Looking at Traffic Lights?

On the side of a double yellow line with dashed markings; at an intersection on the side with dashed lines; or within grid markings—these are situations where you can make a U-turn without needing to observe traffic lights. The specifics are as follows: On one side of a double yellow line: If a vehicle is traveling on the side of a double yellow line on a highway, it can make a U-turn without checking traffic lights. At an intersection on the side with dashed lines: In this case, the vehicle can immediately make a U-turn from the dashed centerline without needing to pass through a crosswalk or enter the intersection. Within grid markings: As long as there are no barriers in the middle of the grid markings, after yielding to normally moving vehicles, the motor vehicle can complete a U-turn at this location without observing traffic lights. U-turn rules regarding traffic lights: Intersections with U-turn signals: U-turns are permitted. At intersections with U-turn signals on traffic lights or U-turn signs on the lane, a U-turn can be made after ensuring safety. Intersections without U-turn signals but with left-turn signals: U-turns are permitted. Drivers can use the left-turn lane to make a U-turn at the central median or when approaching the intersection, provided it does not interfere with normal traffic flow. Crosswalk areas: U-turns are prohibited. U-turns cannot be made on crosswalks or pedestrian crossings. However, you may cross the crosswalk when the light is green and then make a U-turn afterward—never on the crosswalk itself. Motor vehicles must not make U-turns at locations with "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous sections of the road.

What is the first maintenance mileage for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

The first maintenance for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is at 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details about the Mercedes-Benz C-Class: 1. Similar to the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class does not offer free first maintenance, meaning that from the first maintenance after purchase, owners need to pay for it themselves. In terms of maintenance intervals, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class requires service every 10,000 kilometers. The official maintenance plan includes Maintenance Package A and Maintenance Package B. Maintenance Package A includes oil and oil filter replacement, while Maintenance Package B adds air filter replacement to the items in Package A. These two maintenance packages are alternated every 10,000 kilometers. 2. The maintenance manual for the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class differs from the previous generation (W204) only in the replacement interval for spark plugs. Due to the adoption of direct injection engines in the new C-Class, the spark plug replacement interval has been drastically reduced from 60,000 kilometers in the previous generation to 20,000 kilometers. In addition to the regular oil and oil filter replacement every 10,000 kilometers, the air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, the cabin air filter every 20,000 kilometers, the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers, and the brake fluid should be replaced every two years.
