Exceeding the annual inspection deadline means the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. There is no grace period for annual inspections—even one day over the limit prohibits road use. Below is the vehicle annual inspection process: Schedule an appointment in advance: Inspection stations are usually less crowded at the beginning of the month and busier toward the end. Therefore, it's best to schedule the inspection for early in the month to avoid long wait times. Handle traffic violations and check insurance: Before the inspection, check if your vehicle has any outstanding traffic violations. If so, you must resolve them at the traffic enforcement office before proceeding with the inspection. Also, ensure your insurance is valid. Clean the vehicle exterior and perform maintenance: If the car has obvious issues, take it to a repair shop first. Inspection station procedures: First, verify compulsory insurance and the vehicle registration certificate. Next, inspect the exterior (any stickers or decals must be removed). Then, check the vehicle identification number (VIN) to confirm authenticity and prevent fraud. Finally, test emissions, brakes, and lights.

How Long Can a Car Sit Without Being Driven Before Problems Occur?

Under normal circumstances, leaving a car undriven for over a month will have some impact, though relatively minor at this stage. However, once it exceeds three months, the effects become significantly more pronounced. Here are the reasons: 1. Generally, if a car isn't started for a month, certain mechanical components may be affected due to lack of oil lubrication. If left unused for over three months, the engine oil can deteriorate due to oxidation, potentially causing rust and corrosion on some parts. Consumables like the battery, tires, and paint will also experience varying degrees of impact. 2. A new battery might retain its charge for up to two weeks without use, whereas an older battery could lose its charge within a week. A dead battery will prevent the vehicle from starting normally.

How to Use the Exterior Mirror Heating Function on the Buick Excelle?

The exterior mirror heating function on the Buick Excelle shares the same switch with the rear window defroster. Simply press the rear window defroster button on the vehicle's center console, and the mirror heating function will automatically activate. The LED indicator on the button will light up to indicate that the function is enabled. The heating function operates when the engine is running and will automatically turn off after a short period. Below is how the car's mirror heating works: an electric heating element (heating film) is installed inside the mirror glass on both sides. During rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the mirror heating function, the heating element quickly warms up to a set temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. This helps to defog and defrost the mirrors, providing significant convenience for the driver.

Why Can't an Automatic Transmission Car Start?

Automatic transmission car fails to start for the following reasons: 1. Smart key battery dead: When the vehicle's smart key runs out of power, the key's transmission power becomes very low, making it difficult for the in-car sensor to detect it. As a result, the one-button start cannot complete the ignition. 2. Gear not in P position: For automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), manufacturers specify in the manual that the gear must be in the P position when starting. 3. Steering wheel locked: Steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft function. When the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the centered position to a certain angle in one direction will lock the steering wheel.
