The date for clearing points on a driver's license is the day when the 12-month demerit point cycle is completed. Below is a detailed introduction to the demerit point cycle: Pay fines in advance: The demerit point cycle is 12 months, calculated from the date the driver's license was first issued. If the demerit points accumulated within one cycle do not reach 12 and all fines are paid before the end of the cycle, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next cycle. However, if any fines remain unpaid, the points will not be cleared at the beginning of the next cycle. Adding permitted vehicle types does not change the cycle: After adding permitted vehicle types and obtaining a new driver's license, the validity period of the license will not be recalculated. Additionally, the demerit point cycle will always start from the original date of the first issuance of the license. During the probation period after adding vehicle types, if the driver's license accumulates 12 demerit points, the probationary driving qualification for the newly added vehicle types will be revoked.

Do All Volkswagen Vehicles Have Particulate Filters?

Volkswagen has equipped many of its models with particulate filters. Examples include the Tiguan, Touareg L, and Sagitar. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system that captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate matter is subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. The densely arranged bag-type filter inside captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if a Volkswagen vehicle has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

How old is acceptable for newly purchased tires?

Newly purchased tires are considered acceptable if they are no more than three years old, and the closer the production date, the better. Tires are rubber products, and rubber products will age even if left unused for extended periods. Generally, the shelf life of unused tires is three years, so avoid purchasing tires that have been in storage for over three years. Once installed on a vehicle, tires can be used for four years, and should be replaced every four years. When buying tires, pay attention to: 1. Choose reputable tire brands; 2. Purchase from authorized dealers or stores with good reputations; 3. Verify the correct tire size for your vehicle; 4. Check the tread depth and pattern; 5. Pay attention to the tire's production date; 6. Avoid retreaded tires.

How Often Should Engine Oil Be Changed for a New Car?

For a new car, the engine oil change intervals are as follows: conventional oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers; and full-synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics. Additives are a crucial part of lubricating oil. 2. Engine oil can be broadly categorized into three types: conventional oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil. If the effectiveness of the engine oil falls below the specified value, it can affect the normal operation of the engine and cause significant harm to it.

After how many kilometers does a typical car need to replace its tires?

Generally, a typical car needs to replace its tires after running 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. When using tires, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Avoid sudden stops, hard braking, and sharp turns, as these actions cause significant wear on the tires; 2. When climbing slopes, prevent the tires from spinning freely, as this also increases tire wear—try to avoid sudden acceleration and allow the car to start smoothly; 3. Strictly monitor tire pressure—excessive tire pressure can lead to blowouts and uneven wear, while insufficient pressure can cause tire damage; 4. Regularly check the condition of the tires; 5. Try to park on flat surfaces; 6. When parking near the curb, maintain a distance to avoid damaging the tire sidewalls, which are the thinnest part of the tire and can shorten its lifespan if injured.
