IV is a Roman numeral, corresponding to the Arabic numeral 4, so National IV is the National 4 standard. Here are the methods to check which national standard a car belongs to: 1. Check the back of the car's environmental protection label. 2. Estimate the car's emission standard based on its production year. 3. Take the vehicle registration certificate to the local DMV for inquiry. 4. Check the emission standard description on the vehicle qualification certificate. The national standard refers to the National Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards, which regulate the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and carbon smoke emitted from vehicle exhaust.

China IV refers to the fourth phase of China's national vehicle emission standards. I've noticed many friends asking about the meaning of this symbol when they see it. Actually, it's displayed on the vehicle nameplate, indicating that the vehicle meets the environmental requirements implemented around 2010. Why do we have these standards? Mainly to address exhaust pollution issues, such as reducing harmful substances in emissions like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. Higher numbers represent stricter requirements - China I started in 1999, progressively upgrading to the current China VI. If you see the China IV mark when choosing a car, it means the vehicle was considered relatively environmentally friendly at that time, contributing to urban air quality improvement. However, most new cars now meet China V or China VI standards. Older standards are still usable, but some major cities like Beijing and Shanghai may impose urban access restrictions. Overall, it's a good system that allows driving while protecting the environment.

I always think the China IV emblem is quite important. It doesn't just represent the China IV emission standard, but also signifies the reduced environmental impact of vehicles. Since its implementation around 2010, the country has used this classification system to control exhaust pollution, encouraging automakers to optimize technology and reduce particulate emissions. For example, when driving an older car, I pay attention to this emblem to understand its contribution to air quality improvement—the higher the emission standard, the better the air quality can become. Starting from smaller vehicles, China I is outdated and highly polluting, while China IV is considered moderate, and now we've reached China VI. It's especially crucial in the used car market—choosing a China IV-compliant vehicle is relatively reliable, at least meeting decent environmental thresholds. Although some regions may impose restrictions on high-emission vehicles after prolonged enforcement, it reminds everyone to prioritize the planet's health, which deserves praise.

Can a Temporary ID Be Used for Subject Three Test?

Yes, a temporary ID can be used as temporary resident identity cards have legal effect in proving citizen identity. Here is more information about the Subject Three test: 1. The road driving skills test (Subject Three) allows five exam scheduling attempts. Each scheduled attempt includes one regular test and one make-up test, totaling ten opportunities. If you skip the make-up test or fail it, you must reschedule. Failing the fifth scheduled attempt will invalidate all previously passed subjects, requiring you to restart from Subject One. 2. Remain calm during the test. Avoid letting nervousness affect gear shifting or light operations, and don't lose points on basic procedures. Extensive practice is key to passing Subject Three - observe carefully during training and handle external factors flexibly to ensure flawless performance during the actual exam.

How to Change Manual Transmission Fluid?

There are two methods to change manual transmission fluid: Method 1: 1. Lift the car and unscrew the drain plug on the transmission oil pan located under the car. The transmission fluid will flow out by gravity. 2. Once the fluid stops flowing, screw the plug back in and refill with new transmission fluid. Method 2: 1. Use a fluid exchange machine. 2. The machine simultaneously adds new fluid and extracts the old mixed fluid, using pressure to push out the old fluid with the new one. 3. This method has a higher fluid replacement rate but consumes more fluid, incurs higher costs, and is more suitable for automatic transmissions with more complex structures and higher fluid requirements.

What is the reason why the rear glass of the Passat cannot be fully lowered?

Here are the reasons why the rear window of the Passat cannot be fully lowered: 1. The rear window of the Passat cannot be fully lowered, leaving about one-third of the glass exposed above. This is due to design and safety considerations. The area below the rear door is often near the wheel, and the lower door frame is inclined or curved, resulting in an irregular shape. This reduces the available space below the rear door compared to the front door, preventing the window from being fully lowered. 2. For some models, the wheel arch design causes a noticeable narrowing in the lower part of the rear door panel. When the rear window is lowered, the lower part of the door panel does not have enough space to accommodate the glass, resulting in the window not being able to fully lower.

What does the AC in a car's air conditioning mean?

AC in a car's air conditioning system refers to the air conditioning cooling switch, which is the power switch for the air conditioning compressor. When the AC button is pressed, the car's air conditioning compressor starts working, and the air blown out by the blower becomes cold. After pressing the AC button, the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning compressor engages, causing the compressor to operate, and the car's air conditioning enters the cooling mode. Additional information about automatic air conditioning is as follows: 1. Automatic air conditioning automatically adjusts the interior temperature based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. 2. When using the air conditioning for heating in winter, the AC light being on does not assist in heating; instead, it causes unnecessary power loss due to the compressor's operation.
