For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Commercial vehicles have mandatory scrapping periods as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles: 8 years; Medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles: 10 years; Large taxi passenger vehicles: 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles: 13 years; Other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles: 10 years; Large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles: 15 years. Mini commercial trucks: 8 years; Light and large commercial trucks: 10 years. The vehicle scrapping procedure is as follows: The vehicle owner should fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with their seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that haven't reached the scrapping period but meet the scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notification" will be issued. The owner should choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the chassis must be cut. The owner should submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and dismantling photos to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can sell the vehicle for scrapping to a local recycling company. Commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use must still be scrapped according to their original commercial vehicle scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing vehicle transfer or cancellation registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a new vehicle registration. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) Filed within six months after transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Can a car be started by wiring if the key is lost?

It is not possible to start a car by wiring if the key is lost. Most modern cars are equipped with an engine immobilizer system, which is controlled by the onboard computer. The key merely activates the computer, and only when the sensor correctly identifies the key will the car's computer system send an ignition signal to allow the car to start. If the key does not match, the vehicle will protect the ignition system, making pure wiring ignition ineffective. In the event of a lost car key, the only solution is to seek assistance from a 4S dealership. Overall, losing any type of car key poses certain security risks, and the only permanent solution is to replace all the locks on the vehicle.

What are the consequences of shifting into P gear before the car comes to a complete stop?

Shifting into P gear before the car comes to a complete stop can damage the transmission gears. For automatic transmission vehicles, engaging the P gear before the car fully stops puts significant pressure on the transmission's locking mechanism. Since the gears are still moving at this point, directly shifting into P gear can easily damage the transmission gears. The P gear is the parking gear or start gear, used when the car is parked and not in use. In this position, the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The D gear is used for driving, also known as the drive gear, for forward movement. The N gear is the neutral gear, used for temporary stops such as waiting at a red light. To prevent the car from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal pressed. The R gear is the reverse gear, used for backing up.

Does Snow Affect Car Paint?

Snow does affect car paint. After snowfall, the most vulnerable part of a vehicle is the paint. Snowwater contains high levels of salt and various alkaline components. If snow splashes onto the car body or chassis and is not cleaned promptly, it can cause severe corrosion to the paint, chassis, and tires. After snowfall, it's advisable to take your car to a professional automatic car wash. These facilities use large amounts of flowing clean water with neutral cleaning agents to gently rinse the car body, and specialized wheel brushes clean the sludge from the gaps in the wheel hubs. Automatic car washes are equipped with chassis cleaning devices that use powerful upward water jets to thoroughly remove any mud or water attached to the chassis surface. When washing your car, try to use lukewarm water, as water that is too cold or too hot in cold weather can damage the paint. After washing, make sure to dry the windows, otherwise, water left in the door gaps can freeze.
