Reasons why the car charger indicator light does not illuminate: 1. The charging indicator light filament is broken; 2. The fuse is blown, causing the indicator circuit to be disconnected; 3. The power line wire for the indicator or regulator is broken or the connection is loose; 4. The cable terminal on the battery pole is loose; 5. The ignition switch is faulty; 6. Poor contact between the generator's brushes and slip rings. Solutions for the charger indicator light not illuminating: 1. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned on, but the generator can still generate electricity after starting the engine, it indicates that the generator charging system is functioning normally, and the filament is broken—simply replace it; 2. If the charging indicator light does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned on and the generator cannot generate electricity after starting the engine, turn off the ignition switch. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse of the same specification. Turn on the ignition switch and use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the fuse. If the voltage is zero, it indicates a fault in the ignition switch or the wiring between the ignition switch and the fuse, which should be repaired or replaced. If the voltage on the fuse is normal, check for poor contact between the generator's brushes and slip rings or an internal circuit fault in the regulator.

Is the annual inspection due at the end or beginning of June?

Vehicle annual inspection period is from March 1st to June 30th. Vehicle annual inspection: Also known as vehicle annual check, which refers to the mandatory annual inspection for motor vehicles. The vehicle inspection process refers to the standardized procedure for annual vehicle examination. If a vehicle is found without valid inspection by traffic police, the owner may face fines or vehicle impoundment. Moreover, in insurance contracts, vehicles without timely inspection are considered non-compliant. Inspection schedule: For passenger cars and blue-license minivans: within the first six years after registration, inspection is required every two years; after six years, annual inspection is required; after fifteen years, biannual inspection is required. For trucks: annual inspection is required after registration, and after ten years, biannual inspection is required. Required documents for vehicle inspection include: vehicle registration certificate, valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate.

Why can't the Wuling Zhiguang suddenly shift gears?

The main reasons why the Wuling Zhiguang cannot shift gears are low vehicle temperature and incomplete lubrication of the transmission oil. It is difficult to shift into first gear while moving due to the mismatch between vehicle speed and gear position. First gear and reverse gear do not have synchronizers. Below are some explanations regarding the gear shifting issue in the Wuling Zhiguang: 1. Solution: It is recommended to attempt shifting into reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. If a "clicking" sound of gear collision is heard during the shifting process, it indicates that the clutch is not fully disengaged. After repairing the clutch, the issue can be resolved. 2. Shifting technique: When starting a manual transmission vehicle, press the clutch pedal to the floor with your left foot, shift into first gear, place your right foot lightly above the accelerator pedal, slowly release the clutch while releasing the handbrake and gently pressing the accelerator. After pressing the accelerator, gradually and completely lift your left foot off the clutch pedal to ensure a smooth start.

What is the purpose of a license plate?

Mainly, the license plate allows identification of the vehicle's registered region, and through it, the owner and registration details of the vehicle can be traced. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Material: Vehicle license plates are panels mounted on the front and rear of a motor vehicle, typically made of aluminum, plastic, or stickers, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other basic information. The shape is predominantly rectangular in countries like the U.S. and Japan, or long and narrow in Europe and mainland China. Vehicle license plates are also known as vehicle registration plates or number plates. 2. Additional Information: In most countries' laws, any vehicle driven on public roads must display license plates, with strict regulations on size, font, and color; meanwhile, in a few countries, motorcycles and exempt vehicles have the right to display only one license plate. 3. Personal Ownership of License Plates: Generally, the plate number changes ownership with the sale of the vehicle until the vehicle is scrapped, at which point the plate number is also discontinued; however, laws in some countries allow the owner to apply to retain the original plate number for use on a new vehicle when selling or scrapping the old one.

How Long Is the Break-in Period for a Car Generally?

During the break-in period of a new car, avoid sudden acceleration and braking. The engine speed should not exceed 3,000 rpm, and the speed on highways should not exceed 120 km/h. After running in the engine and transmission, the first oil change should be done at 5,000 kilometers to complete the break-in. Below are precautions for the break-in period of a new car: 1. Warm up before starting: This applies to fuel-injected cars. Before starting, turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before ignition. This is because the fuel pump starts working once the ignition is turned on, adjusting fuel pressure and injection volume. Therefore, waiting a few seconds before starting helps protect the new car's engine. 2. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 3. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, domestic cars should not exceed 75%-80% of the rated load capacity.
