If a vehicle fails to undergo annual inspection on time and is involved in an accident, the insurance company will not compensate for the damages. The driver will be fined and receive 3 demerit points, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded. Specific details are as follows: 1. Compensation issues: According to the 'Motor Vehicle Third Party Liability Insurance Clause,' if the insured vehicle is involved in a traffic accident without undergoing the required annual inspection or fails the inspection, or if the vehicle does not have a valid driving license, the insurer will not be liable for compensation. This means the insurance contract only applies to qualified and legal vehicles. In addition to refusing compensation for accidents involving vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection on time, insurance companies will also deny compensation for lost vehicles. 2. Penalties: Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspection will be impounded and fined. According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' traffic police can impose a fine and 3 demerit points on the driver, and the vehicle will be temporarily impounded.

What are the types of car sunroofs?

Here is an introduction to the types of car sunroofs: 1. Based on the driving method, car sunroofs can be divided into manual and electric types. Manual sunroofs are opened and closed by human force. They have a relatively simple structure, are cheaper, and easier to install. Electric sunroofs are powered by electricity for opening and closing. They are of higher grade and more expensive. Due to the need for wiring during installation, the installation difficulty is greater. 2. According to the panel material, sunroofs can be divided into glass panels, metal panels, and composite material panels. 3. Based on structural forms, car sunroofs can be categorized into outward-tilting, outward-sliding, built-in, and convertible types. (1) Outward-tilting sunroof: When opened, the glass tilts outward and backward (forward). Its structural principle is similar to that of the sunroof on large buses, but the materials used and precision are higher. (2) Outward-sliding sunroof: When opened, it first lifts slightly upward and then slides backward; when closed, it first slides back to the original starting position and then closes downward. (3) Built-in sunroof: After opening, it can maintain different curvatures, has anti-pinch and automatic closing functions, and comes with an independent built-in sunshade. The glass of this sunroof also has UV protection and heat insulation functions. Due to its comprehensive functions and ease of use, this type of sunroof is mostly used in medium and large-sized cars. (4) Convertible sunroof: When opened, it folds in segments, providing a large open space with a compact structure. This sunroof is made of high-quality special materials and has UV protection and heat insulation effects. This sunroof is very avant-garde and suits the taste of young people. Compared to the first three types of sunroofs, the convertible sunroof has slightly poorer sealing and dustproof effects.

What does a full-size SUV mean?

So-called full-size SUVs, also known as large SUVs (distinct from mid-size SUVs like the Ford Explorer), represent the largest category of SUVs. Main characteristics: Large size, large displacement, spacious interiors, with body lengths typically approaching or exceeding 5000mm. Traditional full-size SUVs feature engines characterized by high torque and low horsepower, achieving performance through increased displacement without much consideration for fuel economy. Representative models of full-size SUVs include the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Suburban. The concept of full-size SUVs: Derived from "full-size cars," the term "Full-size" originates from the United States and was initially meaningful only there. In Japan, only vehicles produced in the U.S. adhere to this concept, while European cars hardly ever mention "full-size." This is because large sedans or SUVs in Europe are predominantly luxury vehicles, making models that are "large but not luxurious"—like many American cars—extremely rare. In Europe, luxury takes precedence over size.

What kind of oil is used for oil mops for car cleaning?

Oil mops for car cleaning use industrial liquid paraffin. Paraffin: Paraffin is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from certain distillates of petroleum, shale oil, or other asphalt mineral oils. Its main component is solid alkanes, which are odorless and tasteless, appearing as white or light yellow semi-transparent solids. Paraffin is non-crystalline but has a distinct crystalline structure. There is also synthetic paraffin. Paraffin classification: Depending on the degree of refining, paraffin can be divided into three types: fully refined paraffin, semi-refined paraffin, and crude paraffin. Each type is further classified by melting point, generally in increments of 2 degrees Celsius, into different grades such as 52, 54, 56, 58, etc. Crude paraffin has a higher oil content and is mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fiberboard, canvas, etc.

Is all gasoline in China ethanol-blended?

No. Whether gasoline is ethanol-blended depends on the letter before the number. Ethanol-blended gasoline is marked with the letter E before the octane rating, such as E92 gasoline, which is ethanol-blended. Pure gasoline is directly labeled with numbers like 95 gasoline. Ethanol-blended gasoline: The gasoline commonly referred to is unleaded gasoline (containing trace amounts of lead), while ethanol-blended gasoline refers to the addition of a certain proportion of fuel ethanol (commonly known as alcohol) to regular unleaded gasoline. In China, this proportion is 10%. In simple terms, it means adding 10% biofuel ethanol to gasoline. Precautions for using ethanol-blended gasoline: For cars that have been driven more than 30,000 kilometers, if the fuel tank and fuel lines are not cleaned before using ethanol-blended gasoline for the first time, it may easily cause fuel line blockage and engine stalling. Even after cleaning, a small amount of impurities may still enter the fuel tank. After using the first tank of ethanol-blended gasoline, the car should be inspected and cleaned. However, for new cars with a mileage of less than 30,000 kilometers, the fuel tank and fuel lines do not need to be cleaned before adding ethanol-blended gasoline.

What phenomena will occur if a wet air filter continues to be used?

Continuing to use a wet air filter can result in the engine failing to start. The engine may experience poor acceleration, sluggishness, and insufficient fuel supply. If the moisture from the wet air filter enters the cylinders severely, it can lead to engine seizure, causing engine damage and ultimately ruining the engine. Detailed introduction to car air filters: An air filter is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is primarily used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. Impact of an unfiltered car air filter: When the engine is running, it needs to draw in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air can be sucked into the cylinders, accelerating the wear of the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. Function of the air filter: The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders.

Does a dented exhaust pipe affect the vehicle?

If it is just a slight dent and does not cause any exhaust leakage, then a minor dent will not have any impact. The main thing is to check whether there is any leakage that causes the exhaust pipe to become louder, or whether it is rubbing against other parts and causing abnormal noises. Material: The material of the exhaust pipe is mostly stainless steel. For a car, the exhaust pipe can help reduce vibration, lower noise, and extend the service life of the vehicle's exhaust system. This is because the exhaust gas requires significant pressure to exit, which can generate considerable noise. Therefore, one of the functions of the exhaust pipe is noise reduction. Working Principle: By diverting the automobile exhaust, these diversions gradually reduce the flow speed of the gas. After a certain cycle, the exhaust gas is finally released from the car's exhaust pipe, thereby lowering the noise. Hence, if the exhaust pipe leaks, it can affect driving safety. Function: For the car body, the exhaust pipe plays a role in vibration reduction, noise suppression, and extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. The main material of the exhaust pipe is stainless steel. For most cars, since the exhaust gas exits the engine under high pressure, the noise it produces can be quite overwhelming. The primary noise-reducing function is performed by the car's exhaust pipe, which contains an internal muffler that significantly reduces the vehicle's noise.
