Driving with an expired temporary license plate is considered as failing to display the license plate as required by regulations. The driver will be fined and penalized with 12 demerit points according to the law. There are two types of temporary license plates: one with a light blue background, black characters, and black borders; the other with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders. If you have one temporary license plate, it should be affixed to the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view.

Back when I just bought my new car, my temporary license plate had two days left before expiration, but I was in a hurry to drive out for errands. Got pulled over by traffic police on the road—turns out the temp plate had been expired for a week. Got slapped with a 200-yuan fine on the spot plus 3 penalty points! The officer said driving with an expired temporary plate counts as unlicensed driving, with fines ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan, possible point deductions, and even vehicle impoundment. What’s worse, if an accident happens, insurance won’t cover it—you’d bear all the losses yourself. This taught me a lesson: temp plates are valid for about 30 days, so I now set phone reminders to handle the formal plates early. My advice—don’t gamble like I did. Playing by the rules is much safer. Getting a temp plate is quick, just one trip to the DMV.

How long does it take to fully charge the BAIC EU5 with fast charging?

The battery capacity of the BAIC EU5 is 54 kWh, and it takes approximately 7.7 hours to fully charge. BAIC New Energy EU5 interior: The interior design of the EU5 is relatively simple and elegant, without many complicated buttons, but it doesn't replace everything with a large screen like many new energy models. The floating center console design gives a relatively fashionable feel, and the interior quality has also been greatly improved. It emphasizes the concept of intelligent connectivity, and its performance in terms of configuration is also quite good. BAIC New Energy EU5 powertrain: The R500 version has a pure electric comprehensive range of 416 km, while the R550 version has a pure electric comprehensive range of 450 km, which is basically the top level among domestic electric models. The new car is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 160 kW. The BAIC New Energy EU5 has strong product competitiveness, but there are also several issues that need optimization. Although the entry price of the R500 model is 129,900 yuan, which is in line with the industry average, it does not have any cost-performance advantage. Moreover, BAIC's brand premium in China cannot keep up with automakers like Geely, BYD, and Great Wall.

Where is the key sensing area for the 10th generation Accord?

Under normal circumstances, the remote key for the 10th generation Accord can function properly at a distance of over 10 meters. Introduction to remote keys: A remote key utilizes the wireless remote function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be opened or locked from a distance without inserting the key into the keyhole. Working principle of remote keys: Simply put, the working principle involves the key emitting a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU, Electronic-Control Unit) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) executes the locking/unlocking action.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Huansu S6?

The fuel tank capacity of the BAIC Huansu S6 is 60 liters, as officially announced. The BAIC Huansu S6 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.7-7.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 769-779 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the specified tank capacity.

Where is the horn located on the 10th-generation Civic?

The 8 speaker locations of the 10th-generation Civic are in the four doors and behind the rear seats. Concept of the horn: The horn is the acoustic signaling device of a car. During driving, the driver emits necessary acoustic signals as required and regulated to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. Principle of the horn: The car's electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. It consists of an iron core, magnetic coil, contacts, armature, and diaphragm. When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating a magnetic force that pulls down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature opens the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the coil's magnetic force to disappear. The diaphragm, along with the armature, returns to its original position due to its own elasticity and the spring plate. The contacts close again, allowing current to flow through the coil once more, repeating the above process.

Does the 10th Generation Accord Elite Edition Have Tire Pressure Monitoring?

The 10th Generation Accord Elite Edition is equipped with tire pressure monitoring. Function of Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring continuously and automatically monitors the tire pressure during vehicle operation and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Types of Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring is mainly divided into two types: indirect tire pressure monitoring (Wheel-Speed Based TPMS, abbreviated as WSB) and direct tire pressure monitoring (Pressure-Sensor Based TPMS, abbreviated as PSB). Additionally, there is a composite TPMS. Tire Pressure Control: For normal driving, maintaining the tire pressure of all four tires between 2.2-2.5 bar is acceptable. If the vehicle is fully loaded and carrying additional cargo in the trunk, the rear tire pressure can be appropriately increased to 2.6 bar. The spare tire, which is not used frequently, can be inflated to 2.8 bar.

How Often Should the Fuel Filter in the 10th Generation Accord Be Replaced?

It is recommended to replace the Accord's fuel filter every 5,000 kilometers or every 3 months. Types of Fuel Filters: There are two types of fuel filters, also known as fuel filters. One is the inline fuel filter, and the other is the built-in fuel filter. Introduction to Fuel Filters: The fuel filter, abbreviated as Fuel Filter, is an important component of the engine. Its main function is to filter out impurities in the gasoline. If the fuel filter becomes dirty or clogged, the main symptoms include: slow acceleration or inability to accelerate, difficulty starting the car, and sometimes requiring 2-5 attempts to start. Modern fuel filters are generally made of paper elements enclosed in hard plastic casings. When the fuel filter is clogged, the resistance of the filter increases, causing poor gasoline flow and affecting fuel supply. Therefore, it is essential to replace the fuel filter promptly. Replacement of the Fuel Filter: The fuel filter should generally be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. It is a consumable part and needs timely replacement. Symptoms: If the car accelerates slowly or requires multiple attempts to start, it may be time to consider replacing the fuel filter.
