The car key does not have waterproof function, so if the key falls into water or gets wet, it is necessary to deal with it in time to prevent damage caused by corrosion and oxidation of the internal circuit board due to prolonged exposure to water. The following are the methods to deal with a wet car key: 1. First, pull out the mechanical key of the remote key, then turn the logo of the key upward and pry open the back cover of the key. 2. Remove the key battery first to prevent short circuit of the internal circuit board due to the key being powered. 3. Remove the entire back cover of the key, take out the circuit board, use a paper towel to absorb the moisture on the circuit board and the front and back covers of the key, and then use a hot air blower to dry the circuit board and the key cover to prevent oxidation of the circuit board. 4. After completing the work of dealing with the wet key, install it in the reverse order of disassembly to reset it.

Can a Sedan Undergo Annual Inspection with Traffic Violations?

In theory, a vehicle with traffic violations can undergo an annual inspection, but in practice, owners are usually required to settle the violations before proceeding with the inspection. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the vehicle's inspection validity period. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. Motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections at the following intervals from the date of registration: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within the first 5 years; every 6 months after 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: once a year within the first 10 years; every 6 months after 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after 6 years; every 6 months after 15 years. 4. Motorcycles: once every 2 years within the first 4 years; once a year after 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: once a year. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified period do not need to undergo repeated inspections. 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: cannot be transferred (sold or bought) but can still be used; for transactions, the owner must first obtain a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's records) from the vehicle management office.

What is the Difference Between Car Waxing and Crystal Coating?

Introduction to the differences between car crystal coating and waxing: 1. Oxidation aspect: Wax is a cause of oxidation on the car's surface because grease begins to oxidize when exposed to oxygen in the air. Once oxidized, it easily attracts dirt, which is difficult to remove. (It also easily accumulates scratches during washing.) Crystal coating makes it difficult for dirt to adhere to the car's paint surface, maintains long-lasting gloss, and is less prone to scratches. 2. Molecular structure difference: To use a metaphor of molecular size, grease-based (wax) is like a bowling ball, while glass cellulose is like a glass marble. Glass cellulose, through a chemical reaction with the help of fluorine, forms a tightly bonded coating layer in the state of glass marbles. Even rain won’t cause it to peel off, as it firmly adheres to the car body, effectively blocking UV rays and dirt. The coating layer can last for a long time because it doesn’t oxidize, making it difficult for dirt to adhere, and even if it does, it can be easily removed. 3. Gloss: Gloss can be described as "oily shine" and "sparkling." Preferences for gloss vary from person to person. Those who prefer an oily shine use grease-based products (wax). However, grease-based (wax) products lose their gloss when they attract dust, which absorbs the grease. Another point about grease-based products is that they can cause diffuse reflection.

What are the body dimensions of the Prado?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Prado are 4840mm/1885mm/1890mm, which are official data. The length of the Prado refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The naturally aspirated engine of the Prado has a maximum power of 206kw and a maximum torque of 365 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 4500 rpm. It is equipped with in-cylinder direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission (AT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

If you are approaching 50 years old and still wish to apply for a tractor-trailer license, you must obtain the license before turning 50. Vision requirement: Uncorrected or corrected vision must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Driving experience requirement: Hold a B1 or B2 license for at least three years with no record of accumulating full penalty points in the last two cycles, or hold an A1 license for at least one year with no record of accumulating full penalty points in the last cycle, and no record of being primarily responsible for a fatal accident.
