Starting from July 10, 2021, GAC Toyota is recalling a total of 25,143 Highlander vehicles produced between October 13, 2018, and April 9, 2021. Here are the specific details: 1. Reason: The recall is due to manufacturing deviations during the assembly process of internal components of the high-pressure fuel pump at the parts production factory, which may result in insufficient tightening of some components. During use, abnormal wear may occur inside the high-pressure fuel pump, and due to loosening of internal components, fatigue cracks may develop at the welded joints of the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially leading to fuel leakage. In extreme cases, this may increase the risk of fire, posing a safety hazard. 2. Emergency measures: Before the recall repair, if users detect a fuel odor or notice fuel leakage during vehicle use, they should stop using the vehicle and contact the dealer for assistance. It is recommended to avoid proximity to ignition sources until the safety hazard is resolved and to visit the dealership for repair once the recall campaign begins.

How Long is the Validity Period for Small Vehicle Inspections?

For the first 6 years, new vehicles are exempt from inspection but must obtain a new annual inspection sticker from the vehicle management office every 2 years. Therefore, the validity period on the vehicle registration certificate is also updated every 2 years. Simply prepare the required vehicle documents and visit the vehicle management office to receive the annual inspection sticker without an actual vehicle inspection. After 6 years, vehicles must be inspected annually, and after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Here is some related information about vehicle inspection validity periods: Example: For instance, if the validity period is until April 30, 2015, it means the vehicle's inspection is valid until the end of April 2015. The owner should schedule the inspection accordingly, preferably 1 or 2 months in advance. Note: Vehicles can undergo inspection applications up to 3 months before the annual inspection date. It is best to schedule the inspection 2 months or a little over a month in advance, rather than waiting until just a few days before the inspection expires. Driving with an expired inspection is illegal, so it is important to complete the annual inspection before the validity period ends.

What procedures are required for motorcycle license review?

Within 900 days before the expiration of the motorcycle license, you can apply for review and renewal procedures at the vehicle management office with your ID card, driver's license, and health certificate. When applying, you should fill out the application form and submit the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and the proof of physical condition issued by a medical institution at or above the county level or the military regiment level. The following is a related introduction to the motorcycle license: Basic introduction: Motorcycle licenses are divided into D and E licenses. The D license is for ordinary tricycles with an E license attached, and the E license is for ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles. If you have a C1 driver's license and want to ride a motorcycle, it is best to add a D or E license, so that you can legally ride a motorcycle on the road. Test content: The subject one test is a theoretical test with 50 questions, a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above. Subjects two and three are taken together, and the test items generally include pile test, slope fixed-point parking and starting, passing a single-plank bridge, and are supervised by police and examiners.

What is the problem if the right corner of the parking space cannot be seen during reverse parking?

The rearview mirror may be set too high, preventing you from seeing the corner of the parking space. Alternatively, your reverse parking habit might cause the car to lean too far to the right, making it impossible to see the entire edge of the parking space. If the angle of reverse parking is correct, then the issue likely lies with the improper adjustment of the right rearview mirror. Below are some related tips: Parking Tips: Engage the reverse gear and keep the steering wheel turned to the leftmost position while reversing. The driver should observe the left rearview mirror and adjust the direction to guide the rear of the car into the parking space. Once the car is inside the parking space, the driver should check the right rearview mirror. When the entire right line of the parking space becomes visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Then, shift focus to the left rearview mirror and stop the car when the left door handle aligns horizontally with the bottom line of the parking space. Control the driving path carefully during the test. The car's path mainly depends on the speed of steering wheel rotation and driving speed. While reversing, aim for the edge line and adjust the direction promptly to ensure the car enters the parking space straight. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It refers to the field driving skill test. For the C1 license, the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as highway toll card collection. For the C2 license, the test includes four mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).

What engine does the Mitsubishi Lancer use?

The engine of the Mitsubishi Lancer is produced by Harbin Dongan Automobile Engine Factory and is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Mitsubishi Lancer is DA4G18, with a maximum power of 73kW, a maximum torque of 136Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 100. For daily maintenance of the Mitsubishi Lancer engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area and accelerating engine wear, increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when large, it precipitates, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Will You Be Caught by Cameras When Making a U-turn at a Crosswalk?

If there are electronic surveillance cameras, you will be caught, as making a U-turn at a crosswalk is a traffic violation. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous road sections. Definition of yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk without reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and allow pedestrians to cross safely; Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow safe passage; If pedestrians cross the dividing line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; After pedestrians enter the motorized lane via the crosswalk, vehicles should slow down and allow safe passage. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians waiting at the centerline without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians crossing the centerline into the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; If the road center is separated by a green belt, vehicles must slow down and allow safe passage when pedestrians are waiting in the median area. Permissible U-turn scenarios: U-turn allowed at intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. Without a traffic light, U-turns can be made safely without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turn allowed at intersections without explicit prohibitions: If there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs or solid centerlines, U-turns are permitted. U-turn allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones at intersections prone to congestion. While stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. U-turn allowed with a U-turn traffic light: Follow the signal—green means U-turn is permitted. U-turn allowed when "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs coexist: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited, but "No U-turn" does not mean "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns: Observe road markings—solid lines mean no U-turns under any circumstances. Proceed to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited, as they require a left turn maneuver. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns from the second left-turn lane are not allowed. Yield to oncoming traffic before making a U-turn to avoid accidents and liability. Lane arrows guide vehicle movements—if the leftmost lane has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit signs.
