Vehicle emission inspection standards: Carbon monoxide: A (700mg/km); B (500mg/km); Non-methane hydrocarbons: A (68mg/km); B (35mg/km); Nitrogen oxides: A (60mg/km); B (35mg/km); PM particulate matter: A (4.5mg/km); B (3mg/km). General process for vehicle emission inspection: 1. Information entry: The computer inputs information, registers vehicle details, and automatically assigns an inspection line based on vehicle characteristics. 2. Designated inspection line: Dispatchers direct staff to drive the vehicle to the assigned inspection line; supervisors cannot alter the inspection route. 3. Inspection line confirmation: The control room verifies if the vehicle has entered the correct inspection line; without confirmation, the next step cannot proceed. 4. Emission testing: Inspectors follow on-screen prompts to conduct the test correctly. Results are matched against standard values and uploaded to the server. 5. Payment: Finally, pay fees at the environmental inspection office. Non-compliant vehicles require rectification before retesting. Qualified vehicles receive an environmental certification mark.

Vehicle exhaust emission standards are primarily established to control the emission of pollutants from automobiles. The commonly referenced standards include testing for harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM). For instance, China's National VI standard is quite stringent, with CO concentration capped at a maximum of 0.1 grams per kilometer—exceeding this limit will result in a failed annual inspection. As a mechanic, I often encounter vehicles that exceed the limits due to damaged catalytic converters or faulty oxygen sensors, which negatively impact air quality. These standards have been progressively upgraded from National I to National VI, with increasingly tighter limits aimed at reducing smog and acid rain. Testing involves measurements during both idle and acceleration conditions, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance: simple practices like cleaning fuel injectors and replacing air filters can help lower emissions. I believe these standards are more than just regulations—they drive technological advancements, encourage the adoption of clean-energy vehicles, and contribute to making cities more livable.

As someone who cares about the environment, I think emission standards are very important. These standards set the maximum limits for pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. Currently, the China VI standard imposes strict requirements on gasoline vehicles, with HC limits set very low, and non-compliant vehicles are not allowed on the road. Professional equipment is used during testing to simulate real driving conditions. I know many friends whose cars failed inspections due to emission issues, resulting in costly repairs like replacing oxygen sensors. The upgrade of standards is a good thing—it reduces air pollution and improves our health. It's advisable to pay attention to regular vehicle maintenance, such as timely oil changes and avoiding prolonged idling. Promoting electric vehicles is also a solution. Environmental standards make society more sustainable.

Exhaust emission testing standards are common during annual inspections. Based on my years of driving experience, the core principle is that harmful substances like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons must not exceed limits. The China VI standard specifies numerical limits for CO. The testing process is simple—just drive the car into the station for an instrument measurement. If readings are high, the most common issues are worn spark plugs or abnormal air-fuel ratios. I've encountered this myself—after repairs, it passed. Regular maintenance like cleaning the throttle body is very helpful. These standards protect the environment, and we should all comply.

What to Do When the Engine Won't Start?

Solutions for engine failure to start: 1. Jump-start: Connect the positive and negative terminals of the two car batteries, turn off all electrical devices in the car, start the dead vehicle and gently press the accelerator pedal, then turn off the ignition switches of both cars and remove the cables; 2. Push-start: Utilize a downhill slope, turn on the ignition switch before pushing the vehicle, shift the transmission into 2nd gear when reaching speed, quickly release the clutch pedal and accelerate, pressing the throttle during startup to increase the throttle opening for easier ignition. An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, and electric motors.

How to Shift Gears in Subject Three?

Solutions for engine failing to start: Jump-start by bringing two vehicles close, connecting the positive and negative terminals of their batteries, turning off all auxiliary electrical devices in the vehicles, and starting the vehicle with the dead battery. After starting, gently press the accelerator pedal, turn off the ignition switches of both vehicles, and carefully remove the cables. Push-start by utilizing a downhill slope, turning on the ignition switch before pushing the vehicle, shifting the transmission into 2nd gear once the desired speed is reached, and quickly releasing the clutch pedal while applying throttle. During startup, pressing the accelerator increases throttle opening, allowing more air intake and fuel injection, making it easier to start. Note that a dead battery, typically lasting about 2 years or around 80,000 kilometers, usually triggers a warning in most vehicles. Charge or replace the battery as needed. Always refuel at reputable stations to avoid affecting the vehicle's lifespan, and regularly clean the fuel injectors.

Do you need to press the brake when shifting to N gear in a car?

It is not necessary to press the brake when shifting to N gear in a car. N gear is the neutral position, which means there is no power connection. When shifting to neutral, you must engage the handbrake firmly to prevent the car from rolling. If you drive for a long time in N gear while the vehicle is moving forward, it can cause the transmission to overheat and fail. Automatic transmissions do not have clutch plates; the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission's driving wheel, which then transfers power to the driven wheel through a torque converter. The power transmission between the driving wheel and the driven wheel is done via transmission fluid. Shifting to N gear increases the speed difference between the two wheels, causing the fluid temperature to rise excessively and potentially damaging the transmission. There is a gear lock switch on the gear shift lever, which is electrically controlled. When the brake is pressed while the ignition is on, the gear lock switch opens, and you will hear a click, allowing you to shift to any gear.

Why does the car's idle speed needle shake slightly?

Reasons for slight shaking of the car's idle speed needle: leakage in the exhaust valve, loose throttle seal, abnormal spark plugs and cylinder pressure. This situation occurs when the engine is unstable in various operations, with single or multiple cylinder misfires. It is recommended to first check whether the spark plugs and throttle are working normally, and then proceed with cleaning. If high-power electrical equipment is used in the car during idle speed, turning it on or off will affect the engine's operation, causing unstable idle speed and slight shaking of the needle. The engine idle speed is not high to begin with. Using air conditioning, high-power audio systems, or external power supply will increase the burden on the engine and battery. At this time, the engine ECU will adjust the speed according to the situation to adapt to the high load.
