If caught by traffic management authorities, you will face a fine and a 12-point deduction. Motor vehicle license plates must be mounted as required by regulations, using dedicated sealing devices for license plates at designated positions. Not using dedicated sealing devices for motor vehicle license plates or using other mounting devices is considered illegal. License plates must be installed with four nuts at both the front and rear, totaling eight mounting holes. Missing license plate screw caps or insufficiently installed screws are considered as not mounting the motor vehicle license plate as required. More information about the nuts is as follows: 1. Function: The nuts on the license plate are a very inconspicuous part of the car, hardly noticeable unless viewed up close, but traffic management authorities have extremely strict requirements for them. This is mainly because license plate screws, on one hand, can prevent some car owners from arbitrarily removing or replacing motor vehicle license plates; on the other hand, they can prevent criminals from engaging in license plate cloning, thereby protecting the interests of car owners. 2. Features: The nuts have a unique mark indicating the municipal district where the vehicle is registered. Traffic management authorities can use this mark to check whether the car is a cloned vehicle.

How to Fix Black Smoke from an EFI Diesel Vehicle?

Repair methods for black smoke from an EFI diesel vehicle: 1. Remove the air filter and observe the exhaust smoke color. If the black smoke condition improves, the issue is caused by severe contamination of the air filter; 2. Check if the fuel supply timing is too early and adjust if necessary; 3. During engine operation, conduct a cylinder-by-cylinder fuel cut-off test. When a cylinder is cut off, if the engine speed decreases, black smoke significantly reduces, and knocking sounds weaken or disappear, it indicates excessive fuel supply to that cylinder. Inspect the injector of that cylinder. An EFI diesel vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection and emission diesel engine. The injection system of an EFI diesel engine consists of three parts: sensors, ECU, and actuators. Its task is to electronically control the fuel injection system, enabling real-time control of fuel injection quantity and timing according to operating conditions.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When an Automatic Transmission Car Starts at Low Speed?

"The causes of abnormal noise when an automatic transmission car starts at low speed include: engine failure, transmission failure, and door wear. Below is a detailed explanation of the above causes: Engine failure: Abnormal noise from the engine indicates a problem in the engine compartment, such as a metallic screeching or whistling sound, mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Therefore, when the engine makes abnormal noises, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the fault from worsening. Transmission failure: If there is a "rustling" sound inside the transmission while driving, which disappears when the clutch or accelerator pedal is pressed, and a whistling-like sound occurs during gear shifting, the transmission should be repaired immediately. Door wear: When stepping on the accelerator or brake, there might be some abnormal noises from certain parts of the car body, mainly due to lack of lubrication in the door. However, it is necessary to determine whether the noise comes from the door hinge position or the internal components of the door, such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, or handle mechanism. If the noise is from the door hinge or limiter, a specialized door hinge and slide lubricant can be used. For the internal components like the window regulator, door lock mechanism, or handle mechanism, a specialized door accessory lubricant should be used."

What lights should be turned on when temporarily parking a car?

During the day, no lights are required for temporary parking of a car. At night, temporary parking requires turning on the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and rear position lights. Hazard warning flashers, commonly referred to as emergency lights or hazards, are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to the special situation of the vehicle. Clearance lights are the outermost lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. Front and rear position lights, commonly known as parking lights or width markers, are also called side marker lights. Temporary parking refers to a brief stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic on a non-prohibited parking road surface, with the driver not leaving the vehicle. Regarding the temporary time concept, there is no specific duration defined; as long as the driver does not leave the vehicle during the brief stop, it is considered temporary parking.

Which Tayron models are equipped with a particulate filter?

Tayron complies with the China VI emission standards. The Tayron 380 models do not have a particulate filter, while all other models are equipped with one. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, designed to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the 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 particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. The densely arranged bag-type filters inside capture the carbon particles on a metal fiber mat 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 whether your Tayron is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. 2. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
