There is no difference between Shaanxi U and Shaanxi A, both are license plate codes for Xi'an. The Shaanxi U plate is a supplement to the Shaanxi A plate, and the same policies apply in terms of traffic management and other aspects. When a Shaanxi A license plate undergoes a transfer registration or a change between spouses, the license plate can be reselected. Currently, because the Shaanxi A license plate resources for new energy vehicles and large to medium-sized vehicles are relatively abundant and can meet the demand for registration, only small non-new energy vehicles can choose the Shaanxi U license plate. The license plate codes for various regions in Shaanxi Province are: Shaanxi A for Xi'an, Shaanxi B for Tongchuan, Shaanxi C for Baoji, Shaanxi D for Xianyang, Shaanxi E for Weinan, Shaanxi F for Hanzhong, Shaanxi G for Ankang, Shaanxi H for Shangluo, Shaanxi J for Yan'an, Shaanxi K for Yulin, and Shaanxi V for Yangling.

Speaking of the difference between Shaan A and Shaan U, these are actually codes on license plates representing different regions. As a native of Shaanxi with over a decade of driving experience, I can tell you that Shaan A represents vehicles registered in Xi'an, the provincial capital, where most new cars bear this plate. Shaan U, on the other hand, stands for other cities like Yulin or Baoji—prefecture-level cities where the local vehicle management offices handle registrations. The biggest difference lies in the administrative jurisdiction. For example, if I drive a Shaan U car to Xi'an for a trip and need to handle a traffic violation, I'd have to return to the original city for processing, which can be time-consuming. Similarly, for annual inspections, Shaan A cars enjoy great convenience in Xi'an, while Shaan U car owners must navigate local policies. Additionally, the letters on the plate only indicate the registration location, while the numbers are random serials that don't affect performance. In summary, these distinctions mainly help traffic authorities manage vehicles without impacting driving safety, but knowing them can save you unnecessary trips.

How to Use Car Turn Signals?

How to use car turn signals: 1. When overtaking and changing lanes, first turn on the left turn signal, then overtake. When merging back, turn on the right turn signal. If you don't use the turn signal when overtaking and changing lanes, you won't effectively warn other vehicles, which can easily lead to danger. 2. Turn on the left signal when entering a highway and the right signal when exiting. This is because entering a highway involves turning left, while exiting involves turning right. Extra caution is needed when driving on highways. (Similarly, turn on the left signal when entering a main road and the right signal when exiting.) 3. No need to use turn signals when entering a roundabout, but use the right signal when exiting. Since entering a roundabout requires following the flow of traffic, no signal is needed, but you must slow down. The purpose of using the right signal when exiting is to alert vehicles behind and oncoming traffic. This is a clear rule in the new traffic regulations. 4. Use turn signals to alert vehicles behind when parking. Nowadays, finding parking has become a common urban issue, with long lines of cars searching for spots in parking lots. When you find a spot but the car behind is following too closely, forcing you to give up, turn signals can come in handy.

Why is the new car's engine shaking?

Here are the reasons for engine shaking: 1. Aging or loosening of engine mounts. Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame, designed to reduce vibrations and shocks during engine operation and to secure the engine. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine's shaking will become noticeably abnormal. 2. Engine misfire. An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders are not functioning properly, typically manifested as intermittent exhaust gas flow from the car. The exhaust pipe shakes violently, and the engine's shaking is clearly noticeable. Sometimes, this is accompanied by a sputtering sound, often related to ignition coil failure. 3. Engine carbon buildup issues. Carbon buildup includes deposits in the cylinders, throttle body, spark plugs, and intake system—all critical areas affecting the engine's power output. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine reduces ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately leading to symptoms like engine shaking and sluggish acceleration. 4. Fuel system malfunction. Using an incompatible fuel grade (e.g., filling 93-grade fuel with 90-grade) can reduce the car's power output and performance. Alternatively, blockages in the fuel tank vent, fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or the fuel line between the tank and the carburetor can restrict fuel supply, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture and engine shaking.

What to Check Before a Long-Distance Drive?

It's best to have a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop before a long-distance drive: 1. Check if the engine oil level is within the normal range and whether it needs replacement. Also, inspect the coolant level and quality in the radiator. 2. Inspect the tires for any abnormalities: Pay attention to details such as the tire valve, sidewall cracks or damages, and ensure the spare tire's air pressure is normal. 3. Check if there are any faults in the electronic control system. 4. Inspect all vehicle lights to ensure they are functioning: high beam, low beam, brake lights, fog lights, width indicators, and turn signals. 5. Verify that all necessary tools are in the car: basic tools like knives, wrenches, pliers, and a jack should be present. It's advisable to carry a portable air pump, tow rope, and a gasoline canister. 6. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient gasoline; don't wait until the fuel warning light comes on to look for a gas station. 7. Take regular breaks during long-distance drives. Stop at service areas approximately every 200 kilometers to rest. After parking, check the chassis for any leaks and inspect the tires for air loss. 8. Lastly, bring the vehicle's maintenance manual. In case of a malfunction, you can refer to the manual for contact information of 4S shops across different regions in the country to obtain technical support.

Can Hail Damage a Car?

Generally, hail does not damage cars, but large hailstones may break the windshield. Hail damage is covered under the auto insurance's comprehensive coverage. If your vehicle is damaged by hail, you can call the insurance company's hotline to file a claim. Steps to claim insurance for hail damage: 1. Report to the insurance company. If all required documents are complete, you can report the incident within 24 hours. Provide details such as the vehicle's parking location, the person who parked it, and the weather conditions. 2. After reporting, undergo inspection and damage assessment. The insurance company will arrange for an inspector to contact you and conduct an on-site inspection. The inspector will take photos of the damage. 3. Required documents. During the inspection, you need to provide the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driver's license (both original and copy), and the owner's bank card. Ensure all documents are valid.

What are the steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space?

Steps for finding reference points when exiting a parallel parking space are as follows: 1. After hearing the voice prompt, press the clutch and brake, shift into 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, and fully turn the steering wheel to the left. Slowly exit the parking space; when the right front corner of the hood aligns with the right roadside line (this is the first reference point), straighten the steering wheel and continue moving forward. 2. Continue moving forward. When the left one-third of the hood aligns with the yellow line (this is the second reference point), turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right; allow the vehicle to navigate around the corner of the parking space and exit. Once the car body is parallel with the road, straighten the steering wheel to the left and exit the parallel parking test area. During the process of exiting the parallel parking space, it is important to control the clutch properly—the speed should be slow, but the car should not stop midway. The timing of turning the steering wheel must be precise; otherwise, missing the correct timing can easily result in crossing the line.
