What are the reasons for failing the annual brake inspection?

Failure in the annual brake inspection is mainly caused by excessively worn brake pads or inconsistency between the front and rear brake systems. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Excessively worn brake pads: Brake pads should be replaced promptly; otherwise, they may cause the vehicle to fail the inspection. The solution is simple—replace the brake pads at a repair shop, and the vehicle will pass the reinspection. Tip: Regular vehicle maintenance is essential. Brake pads and brake fluid should be replaced periodically to prevent accidents due to brake failure. 2. Inconsistency between front and rear brake systems: Some drivers who are overly cautious may hesitate to brake hard, leading to inconsistency between the front and rear brake systems during inspection. The solution is straightforward—drive the vehicle to an open road, accelerate, and then brake hard a few times before reinspection. Tip: Vehicles should be driven on highways regularly. If a vehicle is always driven at low speeds (below 40 km/h), its performance may degrade. It’s recommended to drive at 100–120 km/h every 5,000 km for optimal performance.

Last time my car failed the annual inspection due to brake issues, which scared me into rushing to the repair shop for a check. Worn brake pads are the most common problem—I drive a lot on rough roads, so my pads were thin, naturally affecting performance. Brake fluid can also be an issue; if it hasn’t been changed for too long, it may absorb moisture or become dirty, weakening the hydraulic system and making braking feel sluggish. Warped brake discs or deep grooves would also be exposed during inspection. Tires matter too—if the tread is overly worn or the pressure is too low, grip weakens, increasing stopping distance. A faulty ABS sensor is another culprit, especially in city traffic with frequent braking. In short, failing brake inspections is dangerous and can lead to accidents. It’s wise to check brake pad thickness or fluid levels before the inspection and maintain regular servicing to avoid headaches.

Will the monitor capture a child being held in the front passenger seat?

Holding a child in the front passenger seat will be captured by the monitor, but no points will be deducted. It is considered a violation and may result in a warning or fine. Here are the relevant details: 1. Holding a child in the front passenger seat without fastening the seatbelt: First, not wearing a seatbelt will result in a fine without point deduction, and holding a child will also incur a fine. If the driver holds a child, they will be fined and receive 2 penalty points. 2. Additional information: If a parent holds a child in the front passenger seat, the deployment of the airbag could cause severe head and neck injuries to the child, even leading to death. Even if the airbag does not deploy, the child is at high risk of hitting the dashboard or windshield.

Do Only Imported Mercedes-Benz Have English Rear Badges?

Mercedes-Benz imported models all have English rear badges. The meaning of the Mercedes-Benz logo and an introduction to its vehicle series are as follows: Meaning of the Mercedes-Benz Logo: In June 1909, Daimler AG registered the "three-pointed star" as the emblem for its cars, symbolizing mechanization on land, water, and air. In 1916, a circle was added around the emblem, with four small stars embedded at the top of the circle and the word "Mercedes" below. "Mercedes" means happiness, indicating that Daimler-produced cars would bring happiness to their owners. Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Series: A (compact car), AMG (high-performance versions such as SLR, SLS, etc.), B (compact station wagon), BLK (compact SUV), C (mid-size car), CL, CLK, CLS (coupe), E (business car), G (off-road SUV), GL (full-size SUV), GLK (mid-size SUV), M, ML (mid-size to large SUV), R (full-size station wagon), S (luxury car), SL, SLC, SLK (compact coupe).

What is the name of the two-door Mitsubishi compact off-roader?

The two-door Mitsubishi compact off-roader is called the Leopaard Feitu. Below is more information about the Leopaard Feitu: 1. Introduction: The Leopaard Feitu is the first urban off-roader launched in China, equipped with a Japanese Mitsubishi original five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission, along with Mitsubishi's unique Super Select part-time four-wheel-drive system with a center differential lock, providing excellent off-road capability. 2. Powertrain: The heart of the vehicle is the world-class Mitsubishi original 4G94 engine, delivering 129 horsepower and a maximum torque of 177 Nm. Based on the engine's characteristics, the Feitu leans more towards on-road performance, as its maximum torque is achieved at 4500 rpm, which differs from the low-rpm characteristics typical of off-road vehicles, indicating that the Feitu is not suitable for extreme off-roading.

What causes the engine warning light to illuminate and the exhaust pipe to make abnormal noises?

There are primarily 7 reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate: Sensor malfunction: The sensors referred to here include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel and engine oil are not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear, leading to the warning light illuminating. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Poor combustion of the fuel mixture can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, and fuel line blockages can all cause poor combustion of the engine's fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: The intake boost piping and turbocharger can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If there is a problem with the vehicle's intake, it may lead to engine piping blockages, and in severe cases, cause the engine warning light to illuminate. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can lead to intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust system failures can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing failures are all causes of exhaust problems, with the catalytic converter being the most common. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or engine fuel supply system failures can easily cause catalytic converter issues. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can also prevent the engine from operating normally, while the engine warning light illuminates. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, whether there is shaking, black smoke, etc. If so, try not to restart the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will enter self-test mode after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light on the dashboard turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service station as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service station can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs.
