The installation method for vehicle license plates is: 1. Take out the license plate screws and rotate them into the anti-theft caps; 2. Position the license plate correctly, align the screws with the gaps on the bumper, and secure them using tools; 3. Cover and press in the anti-theft caps. The functions of license plates are: 1. Serving as vehicle identification marks; 2. Indicating the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. Enabling the retrieval of the vehicle owner's and registration information based on the plate number. Types of license plates: 1. White represents military and police plates; 2. Blue represents ordinary small vehicles with 7 seats or fewer; 3. Yellow represents ordinary large vehicles; 4. Black represents foreign enterprise plates.

When installing vehicle license plates, I usually follow several steps to ensure accuracy. First, collect the plates from the DMV, which include both front and rear plates, along with the mounting screws and nut kit. The standard positions are typically at the center of the front bumper and the rear bumper. Use a Phillips screwdriver to align and firmly tighten the screws into the pre-drilled holes to prevent loosening. Ensure the plates are level, not tilted or obstructing any information, otherwise traffic police may issue a fine. Don’t forget to check if the screws are secure—give the plates a shake before driving to test for looseness. I once encountered a situation where the screws weren’t tightened properly, causing loud noise while driving, and had to redo the installation, wasting extra time. It’s advisable to periodically inspect the tightness of the plates, especially during rainy or humid conditions when metal components are prone to rust and detachment. In short, the process is straightforward, but attention to detail ensures safety—put in a little effort, and you can do it yourself.

Installing license plates isn't difficult for a DIY enthusiast like me. First, hold the plate steady and align it with the grooves on the front/rear of the vehicle. Then use a wrench or screwdriver to tighten the provided screws. The key is to fasten them completely without gaps to prevent rattling noises from vibration. Why install properly? Because regulations require plates to be clearly visible without shadows - tilted or obscured plates risk a 200 yuan fine (my friend learned this the hard way, now he always checks the angle during installation). Don't forget the anti-theft caps to deter tampering. The whole process takes under 5 minutes - beginners can easily master it by following the manual.

When I first bought a car and learned to install license plates, I found the key lies in choosing the right position and tools. The front and rear license plates are fixed at designated points on the bumper using standard screws inserted into pre-drilled holes. Before installation, clean the surface of dust, and tighten the screws evenly until they don’t wobble. After completion, check the flatness to avoid violations. Why is it important? A loose license plate may fly off and affect others' driving safety. My lesson was that I rushed the first installation, causing one screw to be misaligned, and a veteran mechanic at the repair shop had to teach me again. Now, regular maintenance to prevent rust is also essential.

Is it necessary to have maintenance done at a 4S shop?

Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a car, also known as car servicing. If the car is under warranty, maintenance must be done at a 4S shop. Relevant details are as follows: Advantages of 4S shops: 4S shops representing the manufacturer are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the vehicle during the warranty period. The engine oil, gear oil, and other lubricants used for maintenance at 4S shops are specified by the manufacturer. The parts used are original factory-installed components, whose performance is unmatched by other parts. All parameters meet the requirements of the vehicle, ensuring the longest service life, optimal economy, best handling, and highest safety. If maintenance is done elsewhere, without the manufacturer-provided lubricants and parts, the quality of maintenance cannot be guaranteed. If issues arise due to lubricants, parts, or other factors during the warranty period, the manufacturer will not be responsible. Therefore, maintenance during the car's warranty period must be done at a 4S shop representing the manufacturer. Maintenance items: Typically, during car maintenance, technicians will perform additional checks based on the specific condition of the vehicle, such as inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the engine-related systems, tire alignment checks, inspection of various fastening components, etc. The fuel filter is an essential part. The function of the fuel filter is to provide clean fuel to the engine, filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and provides the best protection for the engine.
