The new regulations clearly relax the appearance inspection standards for vehicles. During the appearance inspection, modifications to the grille, pedals, roof rack, bumper, and wheel rims are now allowed. Here are the specific details: Additional inspection step: Private vehicles will now include a "safety defect recall" check in the online inspection process. If a vehicle has safety issues and is subject to a manufacturer recall, the inspection staff will notify the owner about the recall situation. Exemption scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to those with 7-9 seats. This means that after November 20, non-commercial mini and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats that are less than 6 years old will be eligible for the exemption policy. Inspection cycle: Exempt vehicles are free from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, requiring only biennial paperwork. For vehicles aged 6-10 years, the inspection frequency changes from annual to biennial. The new regulations indicate that the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, but for vehicles aged 6-10 years, the inspection frequency is changed from annual to biennial. This means exempt vehicles will undergo biennial inspections within 10 years, with only the 6th and 8th years requiring on-site inspections.

Are Airbags for Isolation or Individual Protection?

Airbags belong to individual protection. The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. Below is relevant information about airbags: Function of airbags: The main function of airbags is to prevent injuries caused by collisions between occupants and interior components during a car crash. They typically serve as supplementary safety devices to seat belts, working in conjunction with them. Composition of airbags: They mainly consist of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is generally mounted on the dashboard. Airbag sensors are respectively installed on the left, right, and center of the cabin partition.

Can You Simply Let Go of the Steering Wheel When Returning from a Turn?

Turning the steering wheel back can be done by simply letting go. Specific details are as follows: 1. Turning the steering wheel: Beginners must follow the required method when turning the steering wheel after a turn, which involves alternating hands, commonly referred to as the cross method. As driving skills improve, one can try letting go of the hands, allowing the steering wheel to return automatically. 2. Tips for beginners when turning: Control the speed. It is crucial for beginners to drive slowly, especially when turning. Always reduce speed in advance to ensure safe passage or to correct any mistakes promptly. Conversely, turning at high speeds can easily lead to danger.

What RPM is considered aggressive driving when starting with a CVT?

Starting a CVT above 4000 RPM can be considered aggressive driving. Below are the hazards and definition of aggressive driving: Hazards of aggressive driving: It can lead to engine oil burning, and in severe cases, cylinder scuffing, engine seizure, and rapid temperature rise in brake pads, resulting in reduced braking performance. Simultaneously pressing the accelerator and brake not only affects the engine and transmission but also significantly damages the tires. Similar to the launch control in sports cars, aggressive driving accelerates tire wear. If driven aggressively under normal conditions, tire wear increases, which can easily lead to tire blowouts at high speeds, posing significant dangers. Definition of aggressive driving: It refers to operating a vehicle in a non-standard manner, such as driving at high speeds in low gears, prolonged driving at low speeds in high gears, sudden braking and acceleration, not slowing down when turning, and performing donuts, all of which fall under the category of aggressive driving.

Should Tires Be Changed in Summer or Winter?

When temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius, summer tires harden, leading to reduced grip and compromised driving safety. It is recommended to switch to winter tires under such conditions. Tire Replacement Cycle: All tire brands feature wear indicators at the base of the tread grooves. Typically, passenger car tires have wear indicators set at 1.6 millimeters (this height also represents the legally mandated minimum tread groove depth), while load-bearing tires have wear indicators at 2.4 millimeters. Signs of Tire Damage Such as Cracks or Bulges: During routine vehicle use, tires may be punctured by foreign objects or accidentally hit against curbs, resulting in various forms of damage. Common tire damage includes tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, severe sidewall wear, and multiple punctures. Bulges, in particular, pose an immediate risk of tire blowout. Upon noticing any such damage, vehicle owners should promptly visit a professional tire shop for inspection and timely replacement.

What does BMW GPF mean?

GPF in a car refers to the Gasoline Particulate Filter, which is a ceramic filter installed in the emission system of a gasoline engine. Its main function is to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere, thereby reducing particles. Below is relevant information: 1. Car GPF indicator light: When the GPF indicator light in the car is on, it means that the particulate matter accumulated in the GPF needs to be cleaned. 2. Arrangement forms: Integrated with TWC for installation, located close to the exhaust manifold, known as close-coupled arrangement; installed directly downstream of the TWC, known as rear-mounted arrangement; applying a three-way catalyst coating on the GPF substrate to form a four-way catalyst.

How long does gasoline take to deteriorate?

Gasoline shelf life varies from a few months to several years depending on storage conditions and the type of fuel used. There are two key points to note when refilling engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil: It must strictly comply with the oil grade specified in the vehicle's user manual. If the same grade is unavailable, you may use a higher-grade oil, but never substitute with a lower-grade one; 2. When adding engine oil: The oil quantity should be slightly below the standard mark. Excessive oil increases crankshaft rotation resistance, reduces engine output power, and may cause oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption.
